Hard to tell, he was slated to receive the proposal by Friday.
So receiving it Thursday jives with the information given by Jones earlier this week.
The timeline makes it difficult to say for sure. DW wasn't expected to deliver the proposal personally-- maybe he did though. I could see him wanting to patch things up after everything that happened in the media. I'm super skeptical though.
Let's say he did receive the proposal and it's garbage. No way he'd crack a joke about being undervalued by UFC. He was dead serious and going hard on UFC all week. I'm split 50/50 on it being real.

Just not sure I see Dana willingly playing along with an April fools joke around fighter pay the day after Jones was opening bitching about it.

Jon Jones and Dana White troll fans with Francis Ngannou fight announcement
Jon Jones tweeted about his very public and high profile negotiations with the UFC, seemingly announcing that the Francis Ngannou bout is finally on.

seems like trolling to me when read in context

Jon Jones coach thinks matchup with Francis Ngannou worth ‘$50 million’ payday
No one knows exactly what number Jon Jones wants to see on a contract to fight Francis Ngannou, but his coach Mike Winkeljohn thinks it could be massive.

Man, Whitaker just seems like such an overmatch for Gastelum, but every time I think that about Gastelum, he shocks the hell out of me. Pretty excited for that fight.

Agreed. I thought this was a weird matchup. Seems like a stepdown for Whitaker but not at the same time.

Some Jones fan in the comments said Deontay Wilder clears 50m purse....
There's just no fucking way that's true. I have Deontay at 20m-30m and that's maybe just on a single event. I felt he was more 15m purse with PPV cut included already in that.
And I swore one of his total hauls was 12m.
Does anyone here have evidence that Wilder cleared a 50m purse? Or even approached 50m? These Jones fans are doing math gymnastics to make him sound rational. It's mentally ill.
