Comments Thread For: Conor McGregor Rips UFC, Vows To Fight Floyd Mayweather

[Real King Kong]

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.

That's true...it's a great risk to reward ratio, but he still has to fight another man in a sport he'll be significantly outclassed in. That takes balls any way you slice it. In the end, the damage to his ego will probably effect him more than any physical damage.

does is even matter how mcgregor actually performs?

He's going gert balls to the walls rich from the one fight, it'll attract maywather-pacman type numbers!!!Retirment type earningd

UFC ran out of big names for McGregor to fight.

McGregor made one thing clear, he's neither the A side or B side, he's on the ****** side. LOL He's falling right into Mayweather's trap. McGregor can talk up a storm about how he can beat Floyd in a cage with no rules but he's the one agreeing to fight under boxing rules, and once the contract is signed he's a beaten man. I can honestly say that Mcgregor knows he can't win but he's taking this fight just to stick it to Dana White and the UFC. If Mcgregor was really serious about being successful in boxing he would take on a lesser opponent before taking a beating from Mayweather. Hell he's a few years away from even being competitive against a C level type fighter...Mcgregor's plan is to cash out on this fight with Floyd and then have Dana White begging him to come back to the UFC because people will always pay to see a freak sideshow.

If that fight will ever happen, Mayweather need to pull out his **** right in the ring in front of everybody and slap that ****** beard off McGregor face with it. After Floyd schooling, Dana need to kick that Irish ass out of UFC, send him to Bellator, he's talking like he's on the same level with Floyd, man, Floyd was dominating that sport for more than a decade and got scalp of almost every relevant fighter he could get. Floyd started talking like he's GOAT after years of dominance, that position was earned and he was walking the walk. Unlike Floyd, McGregor been hot for only few years, he got few good wins in his resume. Woodley can whoop that ass with ease, and he got only lucky punch chance against Ferguson and Khabib, after Mayweather fight his stocks will drop real bad, and his relation ships with Dana is already ruined, so that's not the smartest move on his part - Dana White don't need his ass, he can find another McGregor for UFC, same personality but different name

It's not about sport and competition anymore, it's all about money and show. Khabib will mop the ring with that fool so hard, all these janitors who work in UFC gonna have a day off

After that, it'll be a right time for Conor to get back to plumbing

Get your money McGregor.........

Mcgregor is just beginnning to understand the business side and his worth. Which is why I hope people are really beginning to understand part of the reason Floyd was hated so much is because he took the control from the promoters and made it into a partnership as opposed to an employee type relationship. Floyd can make $100 mil and Conor can make $15 mil guarantee with money on the back end. So will say he hauls in $30 mil for one night. The fight will do at least 2.5 mil PPV, I'm going low ball and at $60 so that's $150 mil. That's not including merchandising, international rights, gate, movie theaters, bars. So the fight will do $200 mil without breaking a sweat. Conor will walk away with $30 mil worst case scenario but wouldn't be shocked if he made upwards of $60 mil.

Wtf! So Mc thinks he can beat Mayweather in any form of fighting? Man if Big Show can't beat Floyd so you really think Mc can win this? No way. Floyd Joy Mayweather Jr is unbeatable in any form of fighting.

[Dana White Sr]

You guys love to eat this bull***** up. You guys think after that stunt Randy Couture pulled years ago that the UFC wouldn't be prepared for something like this to happen again. Those guys that the ufc allow to do those jiu jitsu tournaments, who are they? None of those guys bring in the revenue Mcgregor does and they aren't the star Mcgregor is. whats the risk of ufc letting some #15 ranked undercard fighter participate in some judo tournament? "loopholes" in mcgregor contract :lol: mcgregor will get dealt with like all these others fighters that go against ufc.

This fight ain't happening, period. i respect connor and he knows his worth but he's way over his head with this bull****. he needs to man up and fight that russian.
