Renan Ferreira: Francis Ngannou ‘has my respect’ for negotiating $2 million pay for PFL opponents

Francis Ngannou negotiated a unique deal when he joined PFL after his championship stint in the UFC, and Renan Ferreira will benefit greatly from it.

Ngannou’s contract with the promotion includes equity in the company, a role on the PFL board of directors and as chairman of PFL Africa, plus the freedom to box. He also not only negotiated a seven-figure deal for himself, but also made sure to request a guaranteed $2 million purse for each of his PFL opponents.
