Here’s Why The UFC Says Jon Jones Isn’t Getting 30 Million Dollars Anymore

Jon Anik, a UFC employee who helps out with broadcasting and calling fights for events where Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg aren’t around, recently tossed out some numbers in terms of what Jon Jones stands to lose thanks to his fondness for taking estrogen blockers.




It was previously reported that Jones missed out on a potential 8-figure pay day for missing UFC 200, thanks to his PPV points that he would have gotten based on how many people bought the fight, which was a lot and could have potentially been a lot more.

Anik hosts a podcast with former fighter and fellow current broadcaster Kenny Florian, and here’s the quote where Jon Anik talks about how much money Jones is missing out on:

“The financial swing for Jones here is absolutely incredible. I’m sure for fans that’s not their foremost concern, but we’re sort of advancing the story a little bit here or at least talking about this several days after it happened. Antoine Walker, former Boston Celtic, made over $100 million in the NBA and blew all of it. Jon Jones is almost the opposite of that. The untold millions he isn’t realizing because he can’t make the walk in certain spots in his career. Now, they say he might have made from UFC 200 alone, so if he’s suspended for 12 months or 24 months, Kenny, that might be like a 25 or $30 million loss by ingesting whatever supplement he popped for.”

Anik is legit. After saying that he would have a “209” tattoo if Nate Diaz beat Conor McGregor, he actually went ahead and did it.

That’s a lot of cheddar to walk away from. Continue to the next page:
