I am paid to fight. I am not yet paid to promote.
I have become lost in the game of promotion and forgot about the art of fighting.

It is time to be selfish with my training again. It is the only way.
I feel the $400million I have generated for the company in my last three events, all inside 8 months, is enough to get me this slight leeway.
I am still ready to go for UFC 200.

For USADA and for the UFC and my contract stipulations -
I AM NOT RETIRED.

McGregor > more of a man than all of boxing combined (except a few like Gennady, Margarito, and such)

The UFC has to stop being little beaches and give him respect, he has made the UFC, he took it to a whole new level. THEY MUST understand him and allow him to do this.

UFC 200 will make HUGE MONEY because of McGregor.

an this

just looks like standard ego clash/contract stuff

conor wanted to train, UFC wanted him to do a promo tour, he said no, they cancelled the fight & he tweeted that he's retired

Looks like this is what it is. I had my doubts cuz it seemed like such a small thing.

Seems like another issue where the UFC is throwing out the baby with the bath water. I'd say Conor on a closed circuit feed from Iceland at this presser is more entertaining then any two current UFC fighters so that would be a easy compromise to make. Obviously the UFC gots their method which is when Toby tries to escape from the plantation his foot needs to be cut off as to teach a lesson to all the other ****** more or less.

Why is ShoulderRoll not in here parading for the thread to get moved?

So he got retired by a drunk Mexican brawler who took the fight on a few weeks notice? That's one way to go I guess.

Our current UFC face of the company everyone.

If you read his diatribe you see he's nothing but an entitled little bytch who doesn't recognize that promotion is the very reason he is who he is. I rarely side with "the company" but McGregor comes off as someone who makes great efforts to sound deep and ponderous, but really has a poor sense of perspective. They sheltered him and he still managed to lose.

Let him throw his tantrums. He's been exposed as a hype job and can't handle not being daddy's little princess anymore. Ha ha.

That's a great channel. Don't think there's anything comparable in boxing.
