Lol floyd is a household name and has for the past 10 years had everyone hating him and has made 250 million in one fight. Id say floyd is better at marketing himself. The whole money persona and making himself a villain was an act to make money and it worked beautifully.Comment

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.Comment

if he's really getting a $50 million dollar offer for a boxing match he should take it. that is a ludicrous offer.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.

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?

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

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.
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 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.Comment

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.YES, and more of a risk along with that 100 million.
