Conor McGregor talking about Floyd on ESPN this morning

Hahaha floyd needa him thats laughable. Floyd could rematch pac and make another 100 million or more. He can rematch canelo and make a huge pay day he can fight cotto again and make a huge payday he can fight ggg and get a huge payday he can fight Danny and get a huge payday he can fight thurman porter winner and get a huge payday. Floyd calls the shots not McGregor. Im not even a floyd fan but id be rooting for floyd to ko this guy if this circus act actually happens. The thing is floyd doesnt want to rematch Pac since it's too scary for him to fight a healthy 2 armed Pac. Hence, he really needs Conor to duck Pacquiao. No Pacquiao, the next big money fight is Conor. Conor knows that.

GSP is listed at 5'10 which in reality he's probably 5'9. Connor looks about 2 inches shorter than GSP in the pic so what's your point? Besides, Pac is more like 5'4-5'5ish. I think you're the one who is high. pacquiao looks 5'6

This Connor dude is a straight up sideshow

Well thats off the table if it was ever on the table lol. I'd assume Floyd wanting $100M+, Conor wanting $100M + whatever piece of this the UFC would want makes you'd need to put sensible economics aside to make this happen. So Floyd stays retired & Conor will be at UFC 202 or 203 as anticipated. Good interview btw for the UFC vs Conor drama talk. Yep its not going to happen , but both will get some publicity out of it . Good interview Conner is down to earth , at the end of Floyds career you could see he was sick and tired of the millions of media interviews and promotions he was obligated to do , Conner is already having a hard time dealing with that , part of the fight game that must be very hard to handle when your on top and everybody wants a piece of you .

lol the guy can talk, it's too bad he can't box, cause he could've actually helped propel boxing to American fans.

And if you think McGregor is 5'7" standing next to GSP you are high as ****. http://cdn.mmanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/gsp-mcgregor.jpg GSP is listed at 5'10 which in reality he's probably 5'9.

Pac is only like 3 inches shorter than GSP. It's really not that much of a difference at all. And if you think McGregor is 5'7" standing next to GSP you are high as ****. http://cdn.mmanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/gsp-mcgregor.jpg

There is absolutely no way that the UFC is getting a promoters license to co-promote one fight. One fight isn't worth the trouble. I suspect you could throw them $10M-$20M & they'd be like good luck Conor lol & never have to lift a finger. They are making $250M+ a year profit in their own business & its getting better all the time. Getting another $10M-$20M for doing nothing from some sport they don't even eff with to boost up their own profit is win win for them. Well it's not really win though because if Conor did theoretically fight say early December against Floyd the UFC then loses out on Conor fighting for them in December. They can't do both at once. Conor could easily be pulling the UFC 1.5 million buys plus Gate, advertising, TV rights around the world...etc. Throwing the UFC 20 million isn't the same as a $100 million+ event that the UFC is looking at when Conor fights for them. UFC brass has historically tried to look good in the entire "boxing vs ufc" angle thats been going around forever. Thats part of the reason when James Toney fought in the UFC they matched him with the worst possible guy....a wrestler instead of making it a fun fight for the fans where Toney would have a little chance of winning. Agree the UFC plays hardball & are bullheaded with their business. But again this is something thats outside their realm like the WWE stuff, movie stuff UFC people are doing or DWTS & other mainstream things fair outside their area of expertise. Sure they were never gonna co-promote with M-1, Bellator or Pride, but that weakens their brand to co-promote with their direct competitors. Throwing a UFC guy into the boxing world potentially exposes MMA to a whole new audience that can bring people to UFC & broaden their brand. The UFC is usually willing to do something as long as it really doesn't make them look bad. WWE stuff wasn't negative, either was DWTS though Liddell was terrible as expected but he was retired at the time. UFC loses out on immediate gains when they don't copromote with competitors but I can't fault them as the long term play has worked out for them while their competitors have hurt. Though i'd much rather see them copromote things myself since MMA has missed out on a lot of superfights in the past. Granted you do have to factor in that if Conor gets KO'd in 2 or gets 0-12'd by Floyd that could have a negative outcome with bringing people to the UFC or people who've never been exposed to the UFC opinion about the UFC, but even doe its a long shot there is still the potential crazy upside if Conor were to land a lucky punch & win or I'd say even have some sort of moral victory that could be something as simple as a Wepner "KD" over Ali type moment or a Manny 4th round flurry-like moment or other things that could enhance peoples opinions on Conor & therefore the UFC. If Conor had some kind of decent chance it would be one thing. UFC guys are big boxing fans and they know Conor gets mauled bad. If Conor could at least look respectable it wouldn't be a bad thing but we all know Conor would look silly and the fight might be dangerous taking damage from Mayweather.

Except GSP makes Manny look like a midget and Floyd doesnt. http://prommanow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/1n1-e1285702690113.jpghttp://cdn.mmaweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Georges-St-Pierre-Freddie-Roach-Manny-Paquiao-750.jpg https://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2015/5/3/1430629640012/41894536-5a65-43b9-97e9-4871336c727d-620x372.jpeg Pac is only like 3 inches shorter than GSP. It's really not that much of a difference at all.

He says he's taller than Floyd but Connor is 5'7 tops while Floyd is a solid 5'8 1/2 ish. Both GSP and Connor are listed taller than what they really are. It's the same in the NBA. Guys are never truly the height that they are listed at. Connor is 5'7...DEAL WITH IT Except GSP makes Manny look like a midget and Floyd doesnt. http://prommanow.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/1n1-e1285702690113.jpghttp://cdn.mmaweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Georges-St-Pierre-Freddie-Roach-Manny-Paquiao-750.jpg https://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2015/5/3/1430629640012/41894536-5a65-43b9-97e9-4871336c727d-620x372.jpeg

if he's really getting a $50 million dollar offer for a boxing match he should take it. that is a ludicrous offer. Thing is, he's contracted to the UFC and they probably need to sanction any event of this nature. If the Fertittas are willing to kill a McGregor PPV over a press tour dispute, they are willing to pass on a circus like this. As ruthless as they are, you have to admire their vision. Conor being embarrassed by Floyd might be a nice little money spinner, but it does nothing for the UFC.

There is no way in hell McGregor is 5'7". He has a 74" wingspan, He was 168lbs against Diaz. Floyd would have a gut at 168lbs. Here he is next to Georges St Pierre who is shredded at 185lbs http://halfguarded.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/image81.jpeg Both GSP and Connor are listed taller than what they really are. It's the same in the NBA. Guys are never truly the height that they are listed at. Connor is 5'7...DEAL WITH IT

YES, and more of a risk along with that 100 million. This is why we know that Floyd is concerned more about eliminating risk than making money. He is not desperate for Money. He doesn't need the money, he just wants the money. So how does he make money and eliminate risk? By calling out MMA fighters who aren't world class Boxers. That wasnt the point. If u watched the video connor said floyd doesnt have anymore opponents that can get him 100 mill payday cause if he fights a boxer hed be getting 15 mill. If he fights ggg canelo pac danny cotto thurman porter even bronner gets him 50 mill or more. Some of these guys will make him 100 mill now he can make the same amount with connor i agree and with 0 risk because all those fighters all present a higher risk than connor in boxing but floyd probably beats all of them with the exception of ggg who might be way too big imo. All im saying is even if this fight doesnt happen floyd can still make 3 the same amount or more with some of these opponents or more while this is connors only chance of getting anything even remotely close to this.

Although I'd suspect the UFC would demand less of a cut then 50/50 with Floyd cuz they've let people do WWE **** for 6 digits or a mill in the past & those things surely helped generate way more than mid 6 digits to 2M in value for the WWE. And it probably helps get some WWE people ordering UFC PPV's in the future. Ronda did some WWE **** & her PPV's have blown up since. UFC would never let someone like Floyd get over on them without a legit co-promotion. This is not like letting Ronda spend 20 secs at Wrestlemania throwing a couple people. You are talking about letting your biggest star complete in a mega fight. Dana White even a week ago fight could never take place because of the money split. UFC doesn't **** around with copromotions. They missed out on giant fights in the past when it came to copromotions. They have no problem axing something where they don't come out on top of. There is a reason Fedor Emelianenko never fought with them. UFC is very bullheaded in these things. They had no problem pulling Conor off UFC 200 when he didn't fly out to LA for the presser.

Conor should gladly accept the 50 mil. Thats already more than hes made in his whole career.

WAR MCGREGOR!!!! I love this guy. He'd break floyd in half.

Conor is actually in a tough spot at the moment. 145 is a horrific cut for him at this point, and even if he can still make that weight Frankie Edgar might be waiting for him. But going by the Diaz fight, RDA could tear him to pieces at 155. And it is hard to pick him over Nate after the speed with which Nate finished him once he got on top. I don't really think any of this Floyd-Conor stuff is serious but if anything was possible it might not be a bad option for Conor. If he loses two in a row the show could be over. if he's really getting a $50 million dollar offer for a boxing match he should take it. that is a ludicrous offer.
