MICHAEL BISPING said Tyson Fury and Jon Jones could make the same huge sums that Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor did.
McGregor put his UFC career on hold in 2017 to cross over to the boxing ring to fight Mayweather.

Jon Jones is the UFC heavyweight champion
It sold 4.3million pay-per-views in the US, with Mayweather, 46, believed to have earned £300m with McGregor, 34, taking around £100m.
And now Jones and Fury – who reign over the heavyweight division in MMA and boxing – are going back and forth over a fight.
Bisping said on his YouTube channel: “Apparently Floyd Mayweather made a gigantic $280million. I mean, that is insane.
“Poor old Conor, he had to get by with just $130 million. Would Tyson Fury and Jon Jones do similar numbers? I’m gonna say it would.”
Fury, 34, claimed he would only fight Jones, 35, in the boxing ring despite flirting with an MMA move in the past.
But UFC president Dana White is seriously interested in making it in octagon.
Fury saw an undisputed title decider against Oleksandr Usyk, 36, this year collapse amid a row over the split for a potential rematch.
Meanwhile Jones looks less likely to face ex-champion Stipe Miocic, 40, so Bisping is ready to see the boxing and MMA worlds collide again.
He said: “Hypothetically speaking, this would be a very hard fight to make.
“It’s hard enough getting Tyson Fury in a ring with Oleksandr Usyk or Anthony Joshua or any of the other fighters he’s talking about.
“Usyk should be the fight. Stipe should be the fight for Jon Jones, but I’m telling you, just as a fan, I would love to see it. I am intrigued.”
