“Of all the possible fighters, the last one I expected to hear 'no' from was Francis Ngannou. It's some kind of madness. In the end, the whole sport is about money. We are all professional fighters. The best way to make someone respect you is to punch them in the jaw and knock them out. You'll even get paid for it, they'll pay you!

I'm talking about an amount where you stop thinking about money altogether. So he's probably already earning very well because I don't understand this. If boxers and fighters are tired of Jake Paul supposedly ruining boxing, it's time to beat him up!” — Buckley's words are quoted by Bloody Elbow.
