Francis Ngannou's Impact on MMA Free Agency
TL;DR
Brendan Schaub raises concerns about the sustainability of Francis Ngannou's "game-changing" PFL contract, which guarantees his opponents $2 million, a portion of the gate, pay-per-view percentage, and guaranteed money. Schaub questions whether the PFL can sustain a business model giving Ngannou all this money and power, citing the history of leagues that threw all this money at fighters, such as Affliction, which are no longer around. Ngannou's contract makes him exclusive to PFL's upcoming PPV superfight events, and he will be the chairman and minority equity owner of PFL Africa.
