Yesterday at the Anaheim Honda Center in California, Cameroon's Predator and UFC heavyweight champion Francis Nagano fought hard for 5 rounds to defeat interim champion Saul Gaine, which was also the first victory with points after Nagano entered the UFC.
Sadly, Nagano claims to be the strongest man on the surface of the 7.9 billion, but only has a basic honorarium of $600,000, which is extremely incompatible with his status. In addition, the british giant of professional boxing and WBC heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury's honorarium is as high as $30 million, which can simply beat Nagano in a second.
In this regard, the American Internet celebrity Jack Paul made a serious criticism, and the spearhead was directly pointed at the UFC official, and even Bai Dana. After all, the Predator's honorarium is too small, and it is very disproportionate to his status as a heavyweight champion. Jack Paul's annual income can be ranked in the top five among fighters, several times that of Nagano.
You think, an Internet celebrity can get 40-50 million US dollars in honorarium, which makes Nagan promise unbearable?
Tyson Fury, 33, reportedly won $30 million in honorariums by brutally abusing KO Wilder in three major battles. Influencer Jack Paul made $45 million in three games in 2021 and became a life winner. He shelled the UFC No. 270 tournament for being too shabby and giving too little to the boxers.
Jack Paul wrote on his social media account: "The UFC is terrible! I want to help the fighters solve the pay problem, and I may announce my plan so that I can pay them more. ”
Indeed, Nagaano also expressed dissatisfaction with the honoraria of the event, and even UFC President Bai Dana did not tie a gold belt for Nagano. The Predator has been clamoring for a boxing fight across borders, with the target being Tyson Fury.
The current situation is that Nagano is a freelance boxer and he has not signed a contract extension with the UFC, which allows him to enter the boxing field freely.
For Nagaano's victory, Furi also congratulated on the social platform: "Congratulations to Nagaano, if you want to make some money, come and play professional boxing." ”
Nagano's actions sparked speculation that many thought he would quit the UFC and go to professional boxing.
Nagano said: "Like I always say, boxing always comes to my mind. It's something I have to do before my career is over. Now, I'm really looking for opportunities to achieve my ideals, because my time in the field of martial arts and boxing is not a lifetime, so I have to seriously consider this matter. ”
Judging from Nagano's words, it is indeed possible to leave the UFC to play professional boxing, at least not to rule out this great possibility. Who puts tens of millions of dollars and doesn't make money? Would you rather make hundreds of thousands of dollars? So there must be brave men under the heavy reward, Nagano can completely play professional boxing, of course, mixed well, is another matter, at least can earn a large amount of honorarium, enough to live after retirement. 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
