Fans replied to Bronsteter’s tweet congratulating the fighter saying.

Replies like “Haters are real quiet now fumbling the bag they said“, “Francis not fumbling the bag is the best news I’ve heard all month. Good for Champ” and “Glad to see he got a great deal AND kept to helping his fellow fighters.” showed that some he has real supporters who will stick by him through thick and thin. One commented, “Francis got the whole entire bag.. kudos to him” while another commented “Wow minimum salary of 1 mn for his opponent! Good on Francis. He got what he wanted.. persistence pays.” Another fan jumped in saying, “I like the fact that whoever his opponent is will have a minimum salary just to fight him.

Firebacks like “This is gonna lose the PFL a hell of a lot of money“, “He got paid, but at what cost?” and “He has absolutely no “must see” fights in PFL and his name isn’t exactly “household” so it’s not like it will bring in casual fans.” proved beyond doubt that not all fans of the sport were pleased with his decision.
