Jon Jones manager: Jon Jones gick miste om åttasiffrig lön

Jon Jones testade positivt inför titelmatchen mot mästaren Daniel Cormier, och gick därmed miste om en rejäl lön. Enligt Jones manager Malki Kawa var han nämligen lovad ett åttasiffrigt belopp för mötet, och detta hade Malki att säga via ”The MMA Hour”:

It was heartbreaking. It was really heartbreaking, because you tell him this and he’s looking at me like, ‘what are you talking about?’ He thought that it couldn’t be for real. This can’t happening. The team thought the same thing.

Everybody was just excited, we’re going through fight week, things are going as planned, everything is great, the weight cut is awesome, he’s in great spirits, the team is fired up, everybody is around him, we’re doing our thing, and basically I walk out into the hallway and have to break the news to everybody that we’re not fighting. It went from excitement to as if I told somebody that somebody died. It was that quiet.

You’re talking about an eight-figure payday. Eight figures. Conor McGregor can talk about whatever he gets and all of that, Jon is by far the highest paid guy in the UFC, and the numbers that were shown that day for everybody from Brock Lesnar and the way down, Jon was making more than all of that. So for me, we lost out on an eight-figure payday.

Jon har testat positivt för två otillåtna substanser, och riskerar i dagsläget hela två års avstängning.
