Despite being promised to win the right to compete for the Heavyweight championship with Francis Ngannou, Jon Jones and the UFC Organizing Committee have not yet agreed on the remuneration for this match. Jones once suggested that the figure of $ 30 million, but was rejected by the organizers because this amount was too high.
According to Daniel Cormier, Jon Jones can only receive about 8 to 10 million USD. But if Jon Jones wants to require a total income of tens of millions of dollars, it is an unrealistic thought.
“Does Jones deserve to receive the same remuneration as Khabib? I think there's it, if the number of 8 to 10 million USD is positive. But I don't think Jones deserves to be favored as McGregor,” Cormier said on DC and Helwani Podcast.
“The value of Jones in UFC cannot be compared with McGregor. I firmly believe that UFC is likely to spend $ 10 million on Jones. He once said he wanted $ 5 million for each match, so now we double that money so that Jones can play with nunnou.”
Last month, UFC asked Jon Jones to accept a hard salary from 8 to 10 million USD for the match against the nunnou. However, Jones said this money was too low and rejected bluntly. Currently, UFC is thinking about giving Derrick Lewis painting with nunnou instead of Jones.
Anyway, $ 10 million is also a large amount of money. If Jon Jones did not quickly close the contract, he would be very difficult for him to have a second chance.
