UFC got a big problem they making a lot of money but the fighters are about to start a mutiny with the noney they making for UFC but top fighters are paid less then boxing prospects? that's why their stars are calling out boxers getting boxing licenses and threatening to retire etc. Mcgregor gets his azzz whooped in a ring against avg boxers let along floyd. This is about him getting a paycheck. But if he wants the fight he needs to work with dana to get out his contract because floyd got his own promotion company he don't need UFC and 25mil offer is joke when floyd made more the that against berto. Dana will fight this tooth and nail to prevent mcgregor from fighting outside UFC but that's the only way that fight is happening under Mayweather promotions.

man.. so many people dont read the article. mc gregor said this will not be a ufc/dana white concern if the fight happen in boxing ring. dana only handle Mcgregor in MMA match.

well dana still can be part of the fight i guess,, if he play nicely..

This fight would be bigger than Mayweather-McGregor itself. UFC's reputation would be on the line. It would be one thing for Golovkin, Kovalev, or Wilder to stop a UFC champion in the ring, but for Mayweather to lay waste to UFC's cash cow? Man... Dana is gonna need to get paid for him to disgrace MMA like that..

LOL right. I hate all the glass half empty all the time boxing fans. Not to say there isn't sh^t to dislike in boxing, but the focus on the negative by far too many fans is comical to me its so predictable.

Its not THAT bad. Anyone who moves the needle &/or sells tickets is making 6 digits worse case. And McGregor is taking down 8 digits when his PPV points are added up. The Spence caliber prospects are usually the only prospects who ever make 6 figures before they turn into legit contenders. Plus its a totally different model so its kinda unfair to make a apples to apples comparison truth be told. I mean if the NFL worked like pro boxing the top players would probably be making double what they are now without the team owners taking their cuts.

But if he wants the fight he needs to work with dana to get out his contract because floyd got his own promotion company he don't need UFC and 25mil offer is joke when floyd made more the that against berto.

This is the most interesting part. There is a theory that a boxer, of which Conor now is in Cali, who is under the Muhammad Ali Act as all pro boxers are would be protected from the alleged unfair &/or illegal UFC contract. That would arguably allow the Floyd fight &/or allow him to break free of his UFC contract, which is something he's expressed interest in doing before as he wants to promote his own fights, or so he claimed. And now he is saying he's started McGregor Promotions so from a legal standpoint in sports this might be getting interesting for Conor & other UFC fighters under these alleged, unfair &/or illegal contracts.

So what?? just like McGregor said if dana can't stop his other fighters compete profesionally in other combat sports like jiu-jitsu then he can't stop McGregor fight in boxing ring.If McGregor contract have a loophole like that, then fck Dana white.

McGregor already said Fck UFC!! and he has already his own promotion banner. For me personally is ****** for McGregor to alienate UFC/Dana white since he need them after getting embrassed by Floyd. but on the other hand Dana can't control him if the fight happen in boxing ring.

Is this supposed to be under normal boxing rules ?

Its a complete mismatch if so.

This is nothing more than a cash grab circus. Gotta give it to mcgregor tho...he's got balls stepping into someone else's world. Not in a million years would floyd step into his.

McGregor stands to earn 10-20x his total career earnings in one fight if this goes down. He's not being brave, he's a business man.
