While the piece mentions the figure in the very first line, it states the amount could be more than that. This means Ngannou could earn above $8 million for his clash with Tyson Fury. Daily Mirror wrote:&quot;[Ngannou] stands to earn more than $8 million (£6m) from his upcoming fight with Tyson Fury.&quot;The $8 million number originally surfaced after Dana White claimed to have offered Ngannou a contract bigger than Brock Lesnar's, which was $8 million. While fans initially slammed 'The Predator' for seemingly turning down a mega payday, Ngannou's coach Eric Nicksick subsequently cleared the air.Nicksick noted that the $8 million offer was for multiple fights instead of a solitary clash against Jon Jones. He also claimed that Ngannou's pay would have significantly dropped if he lost against 'Bones'.Eric Nicksick@Eric_XCMMAIt wasn’t 8 million PER fight. Had he lost to Jon, his pay would’ve significantly dropped. That was one of the hang ups in resigning, he had no protection if he lost to arguably the MMA GOAT.

Martin has stated that 'The Predator's' payday for fighting Tyson Fury will be 'multiples' of what he earned in all his UFC fights combined.
