Allen Dean - but he could, PFL allows for sponsors on gear and each fighter has a primary sponsor for events. It’s why Kayla Harrison has already made more than Nunes and Shevchenko combined. Francis could very easily make 3 million a fight in another promotion

When Dana says he was the highest paid heavy weight, he never said “per fight”… Brock was locked into a 5 fight, 15 million dollar deal

He could be offering Francis 16 million, but over 8 fights… he didn’t say what Jon Jones terms were but he’s on a new 8 fight deal, I would assume that’s the terms Dana was trying with Francis

I just don’t understand why Dana let’s Conor box but didn’t even sniff at letting Francis…


Brandon Wright - imagine having the gall to say it’s not a significant loss… you realize Francis was the key to Dana getting into Africa. Dana tried to keep him because he knows Francis has the market in an area Dana wants… Izzy lost his belt… Usman lost his belt… Francis was the champion Dana needed to get into the country.

Now it’ll end up in either Egypt or South Africa because black African countries aren’t going to be drawn to the event like they would with actual black African champions

This is one of Dana’s worst negotiations ever… and the UFC need to have a long, hard look in the mirror at the contracts


This is one of the problem with all this white boss who always want to use black to make much money for themselves by paying black man from Africa a pil nut. Am not surprised it ended this way because this issue has be on since, according to him, he is not well paid enough by the company and I support him, he can't be fighting share his blood and you we be paying him pil nut. WWE which we all know is even pay more money to his workers. Bro move on with your life better place for you with much pay-day ahead one love out of my way UFC pil nut


Jason Doyle Why are you so worry about what that man does with his own personal relationship. And also the woman hit him 1st. It's OK for men to turn around and walk away from everything. But women don't have to take responsibility for anything anymore. Not only will they not cook and clean and take care of the house but they want to be men and then all you other men don't request this out of them because you think it is more fair for her to be just like you. Well it's not fair And a woman is made for man not the other way around. She was wanting to hit him the whole time. She should be taking responsibility for the actions that she caused but because of men like you women don't have to take responsibility anymore that's why our families are broken and you can't find the job that you always want


Allen Dean - you didn’t answer the question with any substance… Francis & Fury sells easily three or four times that much. The gate itself would be upwards of 5 million in a big stadium.

It’s illogical to not make more money when you can… Dana is a monopolist and would rather not make a few million for him and the company just to keep the strong arm going

Because remember: he was NOT* going to let Conor go even with his PPV sales bruh. Don’t be a revisionist. He made sure he made his money off of that fight

Now he makes nothing and Francis makes the pile all for himself. Good for him.


N'Gannou can make more money in one boxing match with Fury than he can make in his entire career at the UFC. Dana White and the UFC leadership have underpaid fighters for years. The fighters risk their lives for their fans and Dana pockets all the cash and then lies to the media about these highest paid contracts when they are underpaid athletes with no medical benefits or retirement benefits. N'Gannou is smart to max out on money now because athletes have a short shelf life and Dana exploits that too. When fighters get older Dana kicks them to the side and looks for new fighters. Fortunately, N'Gannou caught on to Dana's crooked business practices and kicked the UFC to the side while he is in his prime.


Emile Cupido I understand both sides Of the story. I have a daughter I have been raising alone since she was 5 years old right now she is 20. I would be really upset if her boyfriend husband or any other man lay their hands on her. But I would be also very upset if she lost control of herself and put her hands on him landing her in a situation against a Physically stronger man. No matter what you women think men have emotions too. And I know what your guy's idea of a great man is but that is not always the truth we're all human beings. People make mistakes and sometimes those mistakes are made on the split decision. Why should he have to lose everything that hes been working for and taking care of his family with over a were a decision that was made by both of them. After that the best thing they could do is go home sit down talk make love to each other and go on about the next day. It would be different if he snatched her up and beat her in front of everybody know that I would say OK he needs to step down. And even go to jail.
