Comments Thread For: Francis Ngannou Confirms Talks With Deontay Wilder, Says 'Next Step' In His Career 'Has To Be Boxing'

Get that bag. UFC fighters are super underpaid. They generate equal to greater than boxing revenue for only 10% of the pay in a sport where your more prone to losing (more ways to lose a fight than a punch). Dana robbing these fighters as long as there's a monopoly and fighters aren't willing to bet on themselves they will continually get robbed.

Deontay Wilder is nowhere near as big as Tyson Fury and aj. That is who he should go for and he would make more money that way.

B.S.! Ngannou is bleeding and desperately looking for huge payday! It ain't gonna happen. Big mistake of him leaving the UFC. It's greed.

He’ll make more money in one fight boxing than he will in 50 fights in the UFC.

This is a lot to do with the biggest market in the world , America and the Americans have only seen Joshua smashed to bits and Wilder ,Tyson's aside , smash them to bits.So Joshua falls short in that one.If they can sneak it in to Saudi Arabia , who have got more money than sense, then they may just get away with it. Personally I think he should fight a solid lower level guy like Whyte or Arreola to see what we are really getting first.

I hope Wilder takes easy on him.

If Wilder pays 2-3 mil, that's the biggest payday of Ngannou career. That seems possible.

It’ll do more than that. You’ll get boxing fans, mma fans and general casual sport fans in between. This stuff generates circus interest.

Great for boxing
Great for Wilder
Great for the fans

These things are all true IF the fight has a KO and no fouls or in fight antics.
