Joe Rogan finds himself in an interesting spot as he works for the UFC but has always said he is on the side of the fighters. He recently spoke about Francis Ngannou and his unique situation, especially with him wanting to box Tyson Fury.

Joe Rogan recently spoke out on the fantasy matchup on his podcast. The UFC commentator wants to see it happen for a very unique reason.

“I want to see him box because I want to see him get a giant chunk of money – like, Conor McGregor-style, Floyd Mayweather chunk of money,” Rogan said, speaking on his podcast. “Because when Conor fought Floyd Mayweather, he made $100 million. … I think that’s nice. I’d love to see that. If (Ngannou) fought Tyson Fury, how much money would they be able to make?”

“I don’t know [how much]. It’s off the pay-per-view. It’s off what they could sell. Obviously, it would have to be very marketable. Tyson Fury is very marketable. Francis Ngannou is very marketable, especially as a UFC heavyweight champion going up to fight in boxing … It would be weird to see Tyson Fury like a legit 5 inches taller than Francis Ngannou. Oh yeah, Tyson Fury is 6-(foot)-9. I think Francis is 6-(foot)-4 or 6-(foot)-5. I’m not sure.”

It would be an interesting fight but not one that could happen until Francis Ngannou figures out his situation with the UFC. Tyson Fury has expressed interest in the boxing match but nothing has come of it yet. Joe Rogan shares the opinion of many people that want to see fighters get paid more.
