“I Just Wanted To Be Treated Fair”-Jon Jones And Dana White Feud Heats Up

Jon Jones takes his feud with Dana White to the next level. He once again takes to twitter and rants about the disparity in the paycheck he receives.

Jon Jones and UFC president Dana White have been at it for a while now. The main focus on the conflict still remains centered around Jones asking for a larger paycheck and White refusing to oblige. And now things seem to have taken a turn for the worse.

Last week Jones requested to be released from his contractual agreement with the UFC. Him being denied the pay raise he asked for led to the eventual; request for release. And now, this week Jones puts Dana White on blast in yet another Twitter bashing.

Jones took to the social media platform and let Dana have it. Amalgamating what all the tweets read, it still falls back to the same argument. This time around Jones even came forward and asked for a chunk from the pay-per-view and box office take when he fights.

He said he isn’t looking for payback on what was wrongfully taken from him during his 20s, but he just wants what he deserves right now. He has long held the light heavyweight title and now is looking to make a jump up to the heavyweight division and wants to be paid the right amount for doing so.

Jon Jones puts out a number

If and when he makes this transition to the next division, Jon Jones will most likely take on Francis Ngannou. And for this fight, Jones has request a whopping $30 million or something in that neighborhood. Of course, that is a hefty amount.

And it looks larger when compared to what Jones was making back in his 20s. He on Monday said that he barely even racked up a quarter of that during his entire run in the UFC. He said he made around $2million a fight during his prime run.

Looking at how the payouts rack up in the field of boxing, Jones might even consider making the switch. So, what do you think? Will Jon Jones gets his fair share or will he actually have to walk away from the promotion?
