Francis Ngannou is regarded as one of the most dangerous men alive. The former heavyweight champion of the UFC is renowned for his stunning one-punch KO power. Ngannou enjoyed a successful time in the UFC, but relations between the organisation and Ngannou soured, and he departed the organisation early this year.
He finally found a new job with the PFL (Professional Fighters League) after months of looking. Although some people have praised his switch to the PFL, others, such as UFC commentator Joe Rogan, do not appear to be fans of it.

It is important to note that Francis Ngannou’s contract is absolutely unique. Among other things, he would be given administrative authority and his opponent will be promised a salary of at least $2 million. Having said that, it is understandable why he chose to sign with the PFL.
During an interview with Joe Rogan, in his podcast, when asked what would be his achievement for his fight with Tyson Fury, the answer being ‘a rematch’, but having switched to PFL, Joe Rogan assumed they might have offered him a good sum of money for the fight. Ngannou agreed to it whilst still not stating the exact amount but,
Tyson Fury just unintentionally revealed that Ngannou is making a lot more money than he was in the UFC. Francis Ngannou only received about $700,000 for each fight from Dana White even while he was the champion. Francis made the decision to leave the UFC as a result, hoping to find a better-paying gig where he could use his talents.
Fury didn’t give a damn whether Ngannou intended for the sum of money he makes to be public knowledge or not. We can immediately see why Ngannou left the UFC after learning that he earns $10 million from the purse alone.
