why not use the 2500 as your main sequencer?

Exactly

The info I provided was to setup the MPC and the master and the Fantom as the slave. So disregard if that is not the way you want to work.

It will not do anything unless you construct a sequence.
First ensure that the Midi out A in connected to the midi in of the Fantom.
Second ensure that the out of the fantom is connected to the midi in 1.
I won't spoon feed you the rest. You should be able to figure the rest out. Read The Manual
