It's finally happening I just knew it was going to happen after the Usyk negotiation collapsed, Joshua and another Wilder fight are not attractive and profitable, he's been talking about this option and Ngannou is very much willing to sit down and have it done, both fighters have very long inactivity but that doesn't mean that both fighters cannot give us an entertaining fight.
I'm sure Fury will get the biggest share of the deal since he is the champion and the one that will attract attention since this is a boxing match Fury will be the overwhelming favorite because Ngannou's expertise inside the ring is more on grappling and he lacks ring generalship in boxing because we all know MMA fighters are flatfooted.
I can't wait to see the media promotion it is going to be Fury all over and will do all the talking just like he always does in all his previous fights
News has it that Francis Ngannou will be paid more for his Tyson Fury clash. Not as you might have assumed(Tyson Fury having the biggest share).
The amount of money to be given to Francis Ngannou at the end of the clash will be bigger than all the UFC fight combined. That's the funniest part of it.
Whether Tyson Fury beats Francis Ngannou in 3rd or 4th around of the clash as the champion of boxing, Francis Ngannou will still walk away with a large sum of money, more than all of the UFC fights combined, according to Francis Ngannou's management.

https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/1496508/francis-ngannou-paid-tyson-fury-ufc-fight/amp/I read somewhere it's 50M guaranteed for Fury and 20M for Ngannou. This is besides the money to be earned AFAIK. 20M is more than the amount of money that Ngannou earn in all his UFC career. So even if he loses this fight, it is way worth it for first timer boxer.
And it could be right that he may not win actually. Fury is a champ in the heavyweight division and has all the skills to outsmart Ngannou. His footwork alone will not give Ngannou any advantage. Ngannou has a lot to learn but its good that the schedule is still months away.
Win or lose, Ngannou is already a winner when it comes to his purse earnings for this fight.
It maybe a cherry pick for Fury, but who knows, Ngannou will show a toe-to-toe fight because he wants to show a good one.
At least, not give disappointment to boxing fans, and maybe, get another good fight in the boxing sports.
Clearly, Fury is the favorite here. But we can't totally disregard the possibility of upset.
But I am happy for Ngannou here, earning good amount of money in boxing in just one fight as compared to all the years of his hard work on his UFC career
