Connor McGregor announces retirement

[Combat Talk Radio]

He wanted $10 million? What sport does he think this is? Boxing?

Please. TBE makes that amount just by walking into the MGM Grand. It's a joke - and Conor wasn't worth even that much after getting choked TF out.

Kovalev is a savage.

McGregor has the brash, ****y persona, but he's a genuinely nice guy according to virtually everyone who speaks about him. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if watching Carvalho get beat to death got to him.

i don't think so.........maybe it was a combination of losing and the death. but his response makes it seem like he just wanted to leave with the money and avoid the risk of being ko'd again "thanks for all of the cheese folks. see ya!"

RUmor going around is Conor is asking $10m and UFC said nah. Poor guy. He clearly deserves that money because he is currently 1 of the biggest combat sport athlete today despite coming off a loss.

Pacquiao made $20 mill in his fight against bradley that nobody watched lol. Pay the man!

floyd rubbed off on him. conor started thinking long term. his health was more important, nothing wrong with that, but he just went against everything he preach about! all that warrior code crap.

Dana (just interviewed) said the UFC pulled Conor from UFC 200. He definitely made sure Conor knew who the alpha was in the equation.
I was never a big Mayweather fan, but that dude laid bare the blueprint to PPV stardom. I mean, Conor has followed it chapter & verse. So...
If you can't see Conor playing chess here, then look again. Dude is going to WWE to make bank (and it will be massive). He'll come back to the UFC knowing that they'll be salivating by that time, and will be in an even more commanding seat at the negotiating table bc he'll have generated a new fan base. And Dana will grab his own ankles bc he'll have to.
They both know it.
Floyd did exactly this. And it was brilliant.
