Jon Jones Considers a Possible Move to Boxing
Follow Us
Jon Jones is having none of Dana White’s claims. The light heavyweight champion is exploring other options after a failed negotiation with the company.
Recently, Jon Jones demanded a massive fight from the UFC. “Bones” wanted to move up a weight class and take on Francis Ngannou. Unfortunately, the price was too high for the company. Although Jones denied asking a huge price, White begs to differ.
Seemingly frustrated with White, Jones went on a tirade. He unleashed a series of tweets aimed at the President of the UFC.

During the UFC on ESPN 9 press conference, White said:
“What do you do? What do you believe? It’s up to you guys. What do I gain out of lying about it? Why would I lie? It doesn’t matter.”

“Being the greatest of all time does not mean he will get $30 million. [It’s] being able to sell. In one of his tweets, he said I tarnished him [his image]. I tarnished you?! You’ve done a very good job of tarnishing [yourself]. I haven’t done that.”
An angry Jones responds
It is no brainer that top-ranked boxers are paid more than top-ranked mixed martial artists, even if they sell more pay-per-views. Fighter pay has been an issue in the UFC. Even Francis Ngannou stated his intentions of crossing over to boxing.
When a Twitter user suggested Jones to crossover to boxing, Jones said that he stands to make more money in his first boxing match than his next 3 UFC fights. He also stated a wide range of things he could do rather than fighting.

I’d probably make more in my first boxing match than my next three UFC fights combined. There’s real estate, acting, just kicking it and being a dad. No one needs to put up with Dana‘s lies https://t.co/YKYKhqfR47

Is this the final nail in the coffin?

Although, it may seem like “Jones was never a friend” of Dana, relationships are versatile in the fight game. When the time is right, Dana and Jones will settle their differences. Nevertheless, there are other promoters who are willing to sign him.
What do you think Jon Jones will do next?
