Ngannou royally ****ed over the PFL. They sign him in 2023, then have to wait almost 18 months for him to fight for them, and by that point nobody really gives a **** because he got made to look like a total bum in a matter of minutes by AJ. Now 10 months later he hasnt had a second fight for them and is talking about boxing again. The one fight he had for them allegedly cost around $10 million in purses while generating basically no interest. Oh and dont forget he made them promise to create PFL Africa, and make him the chairman of it, only for him to not even attend the events when they happened.
He has pretty much turned into a cautionary tale for other MMA promotions aiming to compete with the UFC. All its done for the PFL is speed up their demise.

AJ did not make him look like a bum. Ngannou is NOT a boxer. Period.

95% of Ngannous MMA game pre-Gane fight was him just using boxing + takedown defence. He is widely regarded as the biggest puncher in MMA history and was also considered to have a great chin due to never being rocked in his entire MMA career. So he might not officially be a boxer, but to see him get dominated at the thing he does best by far in MMA and get his supposedly iron chin cracked that easily still killed his aura.
