Jon Jones won’t fight Francis Ngannou for ‘way too low’ $8 million, but Derrick Lewis would

Just how much does Jon Jones want for a superfight with heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou? Well we don’t have a specific figure, but we know what he considers to be unacceptable.

In his latest string of tweets, Jones claimed that he spoke with UFC executive vice president and chief business officer Hunter Campbell, and told him that a payday in the range of $8-10 million isn’t good enough.

I had a brief phone meeting with UFC‘s lawyer Hunter a few days ago. As of right now I expressed to him that anywhere around eight to $10 million would be way too low for a fight of this magnitude.
