    This was really big news a few months back, Jon Jones is a fan of Mayweather he'd done interviews before but this won't happen. Unless Jones decides to hire one of the Mayweathers to join Greg Jacksons camp as a boxing coach, it is one of Jones weakest areas in MMA.

    The guy that wrote this knows **** all about the UFC, also GSP is clearly the best UFC fighter of all time, that isn't even up for debate.
    Over Silva? nah and its clearly debatable

        Brock, Cain, Ronda, Conor, Anderson Silva, St. Pierre, Liddell, Ortiz, Rampage Jackson. All higher than Jones in the PPV buys. BJ Penn used to do more big PPVs than Jones.

        Jones has one fight vs. Cormier that lands at 17th on UFC's biggest PPV and that was because of all the pre-fight stuff. Jones does OK, but Jose Aldo is P4P number 1 and has been since Silva lost.

        Conor, Ronda, Silva, St. Pierre (if he ever decides to end his hiatus), Rampage and then maybe Jones or Cain. I like Jones great athlete but he is sitting in that middle tier of UFC stars in terms of people who will pay to see him.

            I'm saying of the active guys right now, not all time or what they used to do. I think its probably Ronda, Conor, Weidman & than Jon right now. Maybe I'm missing a person, maybe the order is off, but I believe Jon to be among the top 4-5 UFC PPV sellers today.

              TMT is a lifestyle brand that sells different kinds of merchanside. Floyd's promotional company is Mayweather Promotions. The past, the present and the future of sports & entertainment.

                I don't know Cormier-Jones did big numbers but against both Teixeira and Gustafsson he did 300k. I tell you what though, have you seen Jones lately? He is getting huge, if he moves up to Heavyweight he will be a huge draw, a Cain vs. Jones fight would be absolutely huge, he would become a real superstar if he went up in weight.

                Jonny Hendricks posts big numbers when he fights his rematch with Lawlor did 400k, his fight with GSP did 600k.

                  They can't wear any sponsors or any non reebok gear at anything that has to do with UFC (weigh ins, ring walks, fights etc) watch a UFC event and you'll see. The cornermen can't even wear non reebok gear. So if you're only getting paid when you're doing non ufc related stuff, I can't imagine it being profitable

                    Yea idk how well a 205 cut is gonna go as lean & muscled as he looks. I think its likely 1 & done at light heavyweight or I wouldn't be surprised if that happens. Jon Jones vs Fabricio Werdum (or whoever beats Fabricio) is coming soon.
