Francis Ngannou recently waved off Dana White’s disparaging comments regarding his boxing earnings.

In January 2023, "The Predator" relinquished his UFC heavyweight title and parted ways with the promotion after a heated contractual dispute with the UFC CEO. The primary point of contention was Ngannou's desire to compete in boxing matches, which his UFC contract did not permit.

Although his high-profile bouts against former champions Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua didn’t deliver the outcomes he had hoped for, Ngannou still walked away with a pair of hefty paychecks.

White recently downplayed the belief that Ngannou earned more from two boxing matches than he would have with the UFC, dismissing the concept of massive payouts in the sport as merely "a myth."

Ngannou Challenges Validity Of White's Statements

During a recent interview, "The Predator" dismissed White’s remarks that belittled his boxing earnings and urged him not to fall for the narrative spun by the UFC's head honcho. Ngannou further asserted that his earnings far exceeded what he could have ever achieved in the UFC.

Personally, at this point, it’s been a while since I’ve taken anything from Dana White as credible," Ngannou said. "I don’t give any importance because the things that he says a lot of times cannot make sense. But just for this statement, I will say for everything that I left the UFC for—every single thing—I have had more. Way more. Everything. Name it. Just say I have had everything way more.
