Francis is objectively a bigger name than Mike Perry.
The draw would be Francis being a huge heavyweight on the tail-end of his prime/just out of his prime who was UFC champ just a few years ago.

I agree. The smart play is to pack it in and live his best life. Fighting is bad for your health. But most guys simply can’t walk away from big paydays and being “the man.” I think it’s possible Frances doesn’t want to fight anymore.

It makes no sense because he doesn’t wanna throw the fight.

Frances turns down a carnival fight and you say it makes no sense for him to do that? 
Yes I say that. He’s a prize fighter, this is a lucrative fight with a lot of potential attention that seems very winnable. He’s a serious threat he’s not serious about boxing. If he was, he’d be fighting regularly. Instead he’s got one foot in mma and one foot in boxing and he’s quite inactive in both. He’s a special attraction type fighter.

Fighting Jake Paul is retire money. I would do it no matter what. Francis should jump at this opportunity and flatline that broccoli head.

Why would he throw it then? Lol jake cant put out a contract that says francis only gets paid if he loses. Its illegal and wouldn’t be enforceable.
Any arrangement would have to be behind the scenes and why the fuck wouls Francis care just go knock him out anyway.
Its not like jake paul is the mob hes a youtube nerd.

Francis could legit win a boxing HW title at some point with a little luck in the ring and in matchmaking.
Jake Paul doesn’t move him toward that goal, so he is passing it up.
It is an interesting decision, because the Paul fight looks like an easy in-ring option on the surface. Promoting that sort of thing may not be on brand for Francis at this point in his perspective.

I doubt it. I think Fury took him lightly. No one is making that mistake again. No disrespect to the man, he’s an absolute terror. There is film on him now which makes it another disadvantage to him. He is too inactive and the top guys (especially Usyk) are too skilled.

No way Jake Paul fights Ngannau. I like Paul, he is ballsey as hell, but no way he takes this fight LOL. I’d love to be wrong though! But I won’t be LOL.

I agree, it probably won’t happen. But while unlikely it is definitely in the realm of things that COULD happen.
