Francis Ngannou set to earn insane payout in his bout against Tyson Fury
During a recent episode of the MMA Hour podcast, Marquel Martin, the manager of Francis Ngannou, made several noteworthy comments. In the course of the interview, Ariel Helwani asked Martin about the substantial amount of money Ngannou is expected to earn from the upcoming fight.
Helwani phrased the question in a way that suggested Ngannou’s payout could potentially surpass the sum of all his earnings from his UFC fights combined. Martin’s response shed some light on the significant financial reward that awaits Ngannou in this highly anticipated match against Tyson Fury.
He stated, “By far, by multiples. He would’ve had to fight, I don’t want to break a story, but. I’ll just say, even while being champion, he would’ve had to fight multiple times just to [be in this ballpark]. Yeah, oh yeah [this is more than what the UFC offered in January].” (From 20:50)
Martin openly stated that the purse for this single fight will far exceed Ngannou’s entire UFC career earnings. If it exceeds then he would have had to fight multiple times as a champion against some of the biggest names in the sport like Jon Jones.
In fact, according to Martin, it’s not even a close comparison. The staggering amount of money Ngannou stands to earn from this fight is sure to be a game-changer for the fighter and will undoubtedly add to the anticipation of the already highly anticipated match.
