Joe Rogan would like to see UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou take on WBC king Tyson Fury
Fury previously said that he would fight the Cameroonian heavyweight champion in boxing, but with UFC gloves.
Fury agreed with Rogan that Ngannou would make a lot of money. He stated that he wanted to see Ngannou take home a giant chunk'.
On a recent episode, Joe Rogan discussed the possibility dust-up with Floyd Mayweather's August 2017 win over Conor McGregor.
Rogan stated: "I want him to box because I want him to get a huge chunk of cash - like Conor McGregor-style Floyd Mayweather chunks of money.
"Because Conor fought Floyd Mayweather he made $100 million [PS74m]. That's a nice thing. That would be awesome.
"How much money could (Ngannou), fight Tyson Fury?"

It's not what they could sell. It would need to be extremely marketable, obviously. Tyson Fury can be very marketable.
"Francis Ngannou, a UFC heavyweight champion, is highly marketable. He will be fighting in boxing.
"It would be strange to see Tyson Fury as a legitimate five-inch taller than Francis Ngannou.
Tyson Fury (6'9") is a 6-foot-9. I believe Francis is either 6-foot-4 or 6-foot-5. I am not certain.
UFC middleweight Sean Strickland recently exhorted Fury to "man the f***up" and face Ngannou with 4oz gloves.
Helen Yee Sports was told by him: "At end of the day we're MMA fighters. It's not boxers, there is a clear distinction. Tyson Fury, I believe, should be a man of integrity.
He's a "Gypsy King", he loves to wear bare-knuckle. He should make changes to the rules and do four-ounce gloves.
"Because that is what you say, show it off to the world with Francis, then he will be able to make the 'go to f*** yourself,' money and everyone will be happy.
"But I believe that if this is the case, Francis has a legitimate chance at knocking out The Gypsy King'."
