Comments Thread For: Fury After Ngannou Makes $600,000 In UFC Title Defense: See Me If You Want To Make Some Real Money

Gane is a strong dude and was staying active trying to escape though, and Ngannou is just not that good of a grappler to be able to maintain solid control for long enough to start raining down lots of GNP as well. Stylistically that fight was basically a big puncher with wrestling weaknesses vs a technical striker with wrestling weaknesses, and the big puncher decided to mix in his slightly better but still below average wrestling because he was in the rare situation of facing someone who he couldnt land on easily. End result is a not so great fight that wasnt representative of what either guy is capable of.

Your a cool chap. You broke down the fight pretty good. Level headed which is rare on here lol but your right. I appreciate the passion and the break down.

Also for sure I respect him for holding the winning and now being in the bargaining end of the deal. 600k is ridiculous for the money he draws. Which also came from the support of the Co main

Incorrect. UFC did 1 million +PPV buys in every PPV in 2021 with the exception of one or two. That’s the difference between MMA and boxing. UFC doesn’t need the once every five years mega fight to post one million + PPV buys like boxing. UFC literally has been doing one million+ ppv buys every event for years. Face it; it’s a better product, their best always fight their best and their production is supreme.

Boxing used to be like that. It’s dying

I was curious about this so I looked it up: Top 10 UFC pay-per-views of all time ALL involved McGregor or Masvidal. Last time UFC did over a mil not involving either was Rousey - Nunes 5+ years ago. Respect to Ngannou but he's not the "name" any of them are. He'll get badly beaten boxing even a Top 30 heavyweight and the fight won't sell. The answer? I have no idea, I'm no financing guru but as a fan? I want to see Fury - Joshua - Usyk play out (Wilder may be done) and maybe Ngannou - Jones...but if the UFC Champ wants to get paid in boxing OR MMA, he's gotta turn himself into a "draw" and defend his title more than once.You don't get paid just because you're the champ or even because you "deserve" it...fighters get paid when people ride hard with you and pay to want to see you fight.

Lol this guy saying boxing is dying when Fury and Wilder combined made 25x more than the entire UFC 270 line up did in total. It sucks for Francis, what's even worse is that Dana White didn't put the belt around his waist or attend the post fight press conference he straight just said **** it that's pretty ****ty man childish whether or not you get along with the fighter he is still the champion of your organization you have to respect that.

He's done this before with Tito Ortiz, Nick Diaz, Stipe Miocic and now Ngannou, if his favorite doesn't win he trashes them and ridicules them in the media. He literally talked **** about Tyron Woodley who was one of the UFCs longest reigning welterweight champions just a few years back it's pathetic.

Fury got a point.
