Jake Paul Uncovers Ngannou's True Earnings from Fury Showdown in Saudi Arabia
In the recent past, a well-known YouTuber turned professional boxer, and a former UFC heavyweight champion have both inked financial agreements with PFL's 'Super Fight' division, a competing MMA organization. Notably, these contracts also include lucrative bouts scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia in 2023. The YouTuber was defeated by Tommy Fury in Diriyah earlier this year, but disclosed that he netted a hefty $30 million from the fight. Meanwhile, the former UFC champion from Cameroon-France, Ngannou, is on track to confront Tyson Fury on October 28 in Riyadh and is expected to be remunerated with a similarly impressive sum. Nonetheless, recent rumors indicating that Ngannou will only be pocketing $8 million have left the YouTuber agitated. In reality, it has been verified that Ngannou will be earning a more significant amount from the Fury match than the $8 million deal he turned down from the UFC earlier this year. Some media sources, however, have ambiguously reported that he will be making "more than $8 million", causing some confusion. Given the history of large payouts associated with Saudi site fees, it's clear that Ngannou's remuneration will greatly exceed this figure. In response to these rumors, the YouTuber clarified on social media: "Francis didn't sign for $8 million. He signed for an eight-figure deal. Understand the difference." He further emphasized, "For the ones finding it hard to comprehend, eight figures implies $10,000,000 or more, and Francis is worth every penny." While the precise earnings of Fury and Ngannou remain undisclosed, it's crucial to remember that Saudi site fees have previously reached eye-watering amounts. For instance, Fury and Anthony Joshua were each slated to bag $75 million for their proposed 2021 match, which unfortunately had to be cancelled.
