Francis Ngannou has a very strong claim to being ‘the baddest man on the planet’ and he wants to get paid accordingly.<\/p>\n

The UFC heavyweight champion will defend his belt against Ciryl Gane at UFC 270, but he will earn significantly less in that fight than his boxing counterparts. The Cameroonian recently appeared on the MMA hour,<\/a> where he was asked if he was unhappy that the likes of Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder scored a much bigger payday. To which he replied,<\/p>\n

“Well, it [MMA] is more difficult [than boxing]. I feel I should not be needing to borrow money for my training camp. At some point, I’m gonna go after those money. I’m gonna go to that boxing for sure… I’m not challenging the system, I’m just saying my right,” said Ngannou. (h\/t SportsKeeda<\/a>)<\/p>\n

According to sportsdaily.com,<\/a> Ngannou has accumulated a total of $2,737,500 USD in his career so far including $58,000 USD for his title-winning fight with Stipe Miocic<\/a> at UFC 260.<\/a><\/p>\n

As per the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Fury and Wilder have a guaranteed purse of five million dollars plus the proceeds from the Pay-Per-View. After all that is taken into account plus additional sponsor revenue – it is estimated that Fury will take around $30,000,000 USD and Wilder will earn close to $20,000,000 USD.<\/p>\n
