I can't imagine Jon is getting $15 Million for anything. Maybe with PPV points if it does UFC 229 numbers.
No not a chance in hell. UFC was offering Francis 8 million (supposedly allegedly). Whoever created those fake text messages saying this screwed up when they went with a 15 million amount. That shit isn't believable. Dana? 15 million? Dana developed a crack addiction?I can't imagine Jon is getting $15 Million for anything. Maybe with PPV points if it does UFC 229 numbers.
So you aren't going to watch?I don’t think the UFC realizes how little people care about this fight.

What moron pays for these things in 2024 anyways?I won’t be paying for it
The point though is that the unification bout will always be there, assuming Jon beats Stipe. If Jon fought Tom now, the Stipe fight goes away, win or lose. It's easy payday with potential harder paydays after, vs. hard payday with no easy payday. I get that nobody wants it, myself included, but like I said, it makes sense for him.I think he’d get that amount no matter who he fought. It’s still ducking the IC, and hand picking Stipe.
Even if it's not 15, it'll still be a multimillion dollar payday, and will still make sense for Jon.I don't believe it. Dana is not paying Jon 15 million for this. Them leaked text messages were fake.
Well sure, I'm not saying Jon is going to make peanuts. But what this number does do is basically invalidate any legitimacy those fake messages had. We can discard that whole thing because such a number like 15 million is total horseshit. Dana would have to completely lose his mind and develop a heroin and crack addiction to pay Jon 15 million for this.Even if it's not 15, it'll still be a multimillion dollar payday, and will still make sense for Jon.
I paid for 298, 299, and 300 via sports bar cover charges, no regrets and no problem paying to fund excellent cards like thoseWhat moron pays for these things in 2024 anyways?
I call BS on that number, total BS, he isnt selling 1 million PPV against Stipe's corpse, i think his biggest PPV made like 1 million, against DC, with the brawl and all the build up, so i would love to hear an explanation to that number, no way he gets paid that much, Ngannou's number i believe included an estimate PPV cut, no way Jones gets double that.That's like twice what they offered him for Ngannou lol, wtf. No way he's ever going to fight the winner of Aspinall vs Blaydes if he can fight Stipe for that much.
The UFC has been shelling out way more cash for the biggest draws in recent years, idk about $15m tho. I feel like 10 years ago the offer would be like $500k max lolI call BS on that number, total BS, he isnt selling 1 million PPV against Stipe's corpse, i think his biggest PPV made like 1 million, against DC, with the brawl and all the build up, so i would love to hear an explanation to that number, no way he gets paid that much, Ngannou's number i believe included an estimate PPV cut, no way Jones gets double that.
Because Jon Jones is an insecure egomaniac and if he goes with this route, he will never hear the end of ducking Aspinall for the rest of his life. It will slowly eat at him even though he will put a on good face publicly.if he's getting 15 million for it, then why in the hell wouldn't he want this?
