Let me stop you right there genius. His net worth is way higher than yours. Not the first dumb doctor I’ve ever met. Pretty sure that’s just internet pretend isn’t it princess. 😂
@@donniedoesdishes You can ask for it but don't expect to get it though. My guess is this is all part of the negotiation. Ask for $30M..."settle" for $20M. Never ask for what you want, always ask for more and negotiate back to your comfort point.
The 30 million is just a rumour and it probably started because back in 2021 Dana said that's what Jones was after if he had to fight Francis , Jon said it was a lie at the time . But I do believe he probably wants something like 30 million and possibly more for the Aspinall fight , his contract is irrelevant if Jon is willing to retire or just vacate the title rather than risk wrecking his record late in his career which is the main reason he doesn't want to fight Aspinall , and it was also the main reason he wanted more for the Francis fight , he'll only take on fights he sees as particularly risky if he's compensated to the point that he's a winner even if he loses the fight
@@davefletch3063That doesn't favour ufc, the last champion of that weight class left, repeating itself subsequently puts the compqny in a bad light and that is why i believe ufc will be more than willing to pay jones.....well, maybe not $30m but they will pay him well
Bear in mind that the highest ever fight fee recalibrates expectations throughout the roster. If Jon Jones gets anywhere close to $30m, every fighter's manager in the game is going to be adding a zero to their demand. Dana wasn't afraid to let Francis walk away from both a JJ fight and the UFC for a fraction of this amount. I was surprised Dana said the Jones v Aspinall fight is 100% happening when - seemingly - contracts hadn't been signed. I'm dubious this fight will ever happen.
I've been watching MMA for about 18 years. I've only really paid attention to the technique in the past couple years cuz Aspinall & Pereira revitalized martial arts. What's the money on it hoss? IDK, but I know Tom's gonna knock Picogramz' ass out. LOL.
Jones being considered the Michael Jordan of the sport 30 million should be nothing for his final fight. I don’t know how none of them made their own Jordan shoes or some kind of merchandise. I guess ufc put it in their contract their not allowed to do deals outside of the octagon or something which is stupid
you understand Jordan put butts in seats and was televised 82x in a season and then another 15-20 times in post season right? and his sport is marketable to all age groups. Jon fights once a every 3 years and has so much dirt on him most major companies dropped him from sponsorships.
Chael consider the larger strategy at play here. ufc need to protect their brand. They can’t let the Francis situation repeat itself. We must have the best champion and he must have the belt
What’s the point of having a “legally binding contract” if every fight has to be negotiated for more money??? Every big fight has a negotiation tactic involved in it.
5:20 Gretzky did it in the NHL. People paid just to see him play. Same with Connor McDavid, Bedard in the WHL. Definitely more niche markets but there are guys that do this in their respective sports.
Yeah. Wayne Gretzky sold out most games that he played whether at home or away. In fact he reintroduced hockey in California to people who knew nothing about hockey even though the L A Kings were in the NHL long before he started playing. He was and still is THE GREAT ONE.
@@TEGRIDY8008 The hazard pay argument applies across the sport but that’s different from what Jones is doing. Gretzky’s integrity never faltered and he would have been embarrassed to sequester himself with the Stanley Cup, demanding an arbitrarily obscene salary to rejoin the Oilers in their day. Don’t forget that Gretzky loved the game more than money and had more assists in 85-86 than anyone (other than Lemieux) has ever had points. A selfless legend, who doesn’t deserve to be used to defend Jones’ negotiations.
@@KeithWhalen11 Dude you’re all worried about how much Jones makes when there are probably several ufc executives making Jone’s life earnings every year. Just chill out let him get paid
Very Chael About Roy Jones He Was Forever Told He His Entire Fought Nobody's. He Even Had A Lyric In His Rap Song Rapping "You'll Say I Never Nobody, That's Because I Make Them Look Like Nobody's" But Yes I Agree With The Boxing Media And Chael, His Weight Class Was Nowhere As Talented As Lightweight Welterweight And Heavyweight. Unfortunately A Win Lose Situation For Roy Jones. The Comparison Between Jon And Roy Makes Perfect Sense Then Plus His Obvious Lost To Dominique Reyes Then Reyes Losing 4-5 Consecutive Fights Proves That Point Even More.
The difference between a Michael Jordan or a Wayne Gretzky pulling in crowds for their greatness only and Jon Jones.... is that Jones is not LOVED. That's the missing piece $.
That’s what happens when you’re the best. You’re rewarded based off the money you bring in. And they deserve it, this is the hardest thing you can possibly do. Tell me something more difficult. No team to back you up in the octagon, another highly trained killer that’s trying to separate you from your consciousness
I love how he demands 30 mill because it's such a "big fight" yet he obviously doesn't feel confident in that fight feeling huge or he would not be talking about money. He gets ppv points. The only way he doesn't make a killing is if the fight doesn't sell
What you and many MMA/UFC outlets fail to do is share what these fighters make, how the pay is structured etc. for example show/win, PPV shares etc with actual fighters names and the estimated amounts they make based upon your expertise. Including fighters at all levels.
@@KierstynSchultzdon’t believe that. They sell more ppv than boxing. I am guessing on that but UFC is damn near like the WWE and the NFL. They have to be making big money
I doubt he would be offered more to fight Aspinall than what he was offered for Ngannou. And this time around, they know this could be he last one, so there's no incentive to pay him more hoping he'll continue competing.
He's right to make a money stand here because Tom is no joke but what I think is going to happen is he beats Tom and we're going now what. Jon is more interesting now than 1/3 of his light heavy career maybe 3/3. He's stopping these guys faster and without a mark on him. What if he does that to Tom? Then what?
I don’t like jones personally and I don’t even rate him as the goat, it will always be Mighty Mouse for me but pay Jon the money. The dude has earned it for how long he has been in the ring. Tom is legit one of the scariest heavyweights, screw it, mma fighters in general we have ever seen, if not THE scariest. If Jon is going to put himself on the line against that, he needs compensating.
You know why Dana don’t wanna pay that much for this fight? Because Tom isn’t worth it. Jon is because Jon’s a certified star and a guaranteed draw. Jon fights, card makes money. Tom is only a draw for fighting Jon. His resume isn’t deep enough to warrant a 50 mil card. Because even if he wins, he’s not a draw. “But he’s the champ!” Big whoop. Dozens of champs couldn’t draw flies. And how long would he STAY champ? Look at the track records of the people that dethroned a longstanding champ. Rampage beat Chuck, made it all of 1 or 2 fights before dropping the belt. Weidman beat Silva, second defense he loses. Holm beat Rousey and dropped in her next fight? Dominant champions become that way after long, verified runs, and when they do that they become bankable. Jon is bankable. Tom isn’t. And people might say he is, claiming records and stats and whatever, but let’s be honest: they’ll pay to watch him fight Jon just in the hope Jon will lose, but they’ll probably never pay again. So there’s no longterm return for Dana & Co., and no longterm return means little impetus for short term expense of that magnitude.
When I lived in Seattle in the early 2,000's, there was this big, brilliant house right on the front street of this turn I took on my walk in the Green lake area, as I walked around the gdam GREEN LAKE itself, Chael....-you following me, bro???!!!!!

No!!!!Jon jones has been a pr nightmare and keeps holding the UFC hostage. why do we keep giving this narcissist psycho everything he asks for? He’s lucky he’s still in the organization.
The fight will generate enough to pay him that much , this fight will easily do a million PPV plus the gate money , a boxing promoter would jump at the chance to only pay him that much given the size of the fight , Jon is pricing it to the point where he wins in life even if he loses the fight , and he's definitely thinking there's a good chance he'll lose to Aspinall , every third statement from him points to this
@@Djavo1that's not true, Jones was under contract and couldn't go anywhere else to get a better deal , Francis's contract was up and he made demands to the point where he wouldn't be better off not renewing his contract, the UFC weren't willing to give him that deal though so he walked knowing he'd do better elsewhere and he was correct
I hope there's some Saudi billionaire that wants to see this fight , the UFC have never been willing to give such a large percentage of the profits to their fighters and I doubt they'll start now , there's some hope because Dana has backed himself into a corner saying the fight will happen 100 % and he knows it'll be a massive seller
I say call his bluff. He's backed himself into a corner by showing his cowardice. Tom will still end up with the belt and Jones will retire with the whole world calling him a duck. Checkmate.
