Conor McGregor drew twice (nearly triple)as many buys in 1 year than entire boxing s

[New England]

being a bigger star(cotto) and being heavily promoted(conor) are not the same thing

if they fought the same day....conor in ireland on vegas and cotto in new york...im sure cotto brings in more coin

look at their ppv #'s and purses...cotto is a bigger draw and star

i did look at their ppv #'s. mcgregor sh#ts all over cotto's. and cotto wasn't even the A side of his three biggest ppvs.


purse is not equal to drawing power. guys on the bottom of ufc undercards make a heck of a lot more money than guys on the bottom of a ppv undercard. some of those guys who are brought in as opponents agaisnt young fighters make a couple hundred bucks a round. UFC fighters sign multi fight deals typically, and they have health insurance and benefits.


you, as usual, genuinely know nothing, and are probably hating on mcgregor because he's white.


you're a transparent, petulant child.

Pretty sure Dana is protecting his cash cow (McGregor) from nurmagomedov

To be honest, Tony Ferguson vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov is probably a better contest anyway.

you're a little kid. this is how a 12 or 13 year old boy acts. even by the time you got to high school you'd start to get ridiculed for your immature behavior on this website.

i went to f#cking las vegas to see andre ward, you clown. i bet andre ward. i shouted SOG until my voice was sore. i shouted sog until i lost my f#cking voice! i don't care if you don't believe me because you're deluded, racist. i don't care if if you actually believe me but it helps to function to protect your fragile ego that relies on evidently on nothing but blackess for identity, so you act like you don't.


ask around this ****ing forum if i'm an andre ward hater . do you have any idea how dumb you sound? i don't mean just here, either. i mean everywhere.


did the same thing for floyd against canelo in vegas, without the shouting. but iwas there for floyd and i cheered for him and bet him.

call me what you want bro...im a kid but you hurl childish insults on a daily....stay butthurt, troll

blackess? wtf are you talking about....your deflection skills arent very good....stop projecting your insecurities on others little man. Inferiority Syndrome.

bro i lack insecurities...im young, handsome, work hard, and hit dimes on a daily basis when im not working, training, or spending time with my son. Get a life.

this is a boxing forum...do you really think i give two craps about your opinion of me. lay off the sauce and get out your feelings

[deathofaclown]

I did. And you talk about things that didn't challenge that at all.

He's made 4 million+ PPVs this year alone

No one can deny he's the biggest star in combat sports right now. No one draws like him, PPV, social media, gates, nothing.

I'm not much of a UFC fan but it seems a lot of boxing fans have a hard time admitting that this is the truth.

He is absolutely huge. He is almost a household name. Even my sisters know who he is and they don't even really know what UFC is properly, and they're certainly not interested in it.

Some boxers may earn more money, but no boxer right now touches Conor in terms of stardom at this moment.

He's just known how to market himself. People should take note of that. You get plenty of boxers who are completely dull and don't even attempt to market themselves and then wonder why they don't get recognition.

[Canelo and GGG]

In MMA also the best tend to fight the best. Not like boxing were frauds hide and protect the 0 against cherry-picked opposition.

Ward--Kovalev showed that best vs best is not draw itself

[Deevel916]

Rather than finding ways to criticize McGregor and Dana White, how about you boxing snobs focus on the real problem which is.....Boxing is going down the tubes because of greed, diva's and corruption.

You have morons like Broner who turns down $4mil to face Pacquiao because he feels he's worth more!

You have fighters abandoning titles and moving to other weight divisions to avoid having to fight the best in their division

You have champions who unless they're over compensated, refuse to face top level comp.

You have champs who fight 1 good opponent, then take the rest of the year off, only to come back to face 2 tuneups before taking on another decent opponent only to go on hiatus for another year.

You have fighters who dont want to put the work in, yet want to make millions for fighting tuneups or refuse to fight at all.

Brock Lesnar won the world title in his 4th MMA fight or something.

Can you name a boxing champ who did that?

Lomachenko... very early in his pro career. Sure he had a huge amatuer background.. but lesnar had a huge background in college and NCAA wrestling..

Levels. MMA currently does better than boxing to the wider sphere, and Conor ****s over any current boxer for notoriety on BOTH sides of the pond. (Im a brit)

[Deevel916]

Lomachenko...

It also has to do with boxers nowadays not facing a live dog or title holder until after their 20th or so pro fight.
