Francis Ngannou, the current UFC heavyweight champion of the world, took to his Twitter account to share his disgust over the Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul boxing match. Cris Cyborg replied with a lucrative offer for Ngannou.

The match ended without a winner, but the fighters pulled in a lot of money from the event. Showtime signed the boxers for a fixed amount and a percent cut from the pay-per-view earnings.

‘The Predator’ is an impressive fighter today, but he had to face several poverty issues back in the day. Ngannou who is #1 in the UFC heavyweight division, his last match against Stipe Miocic earned him about $5,30,000. Logan Paul, who recently entered the boxing game, took home $20M from his fight.
