If they work it out it will be Connor giving money on his end to smooth things out and include UFC in the event. I promise you the money won't come out of floyds end.

And what does that matter somebody is generally getting the lions share and Floyd is always in the A seat nothing new here thats just the way it is .

No it doesn't it just takes money out of floyds pocket. Floyd has put on big ppv events without ufc that broke records. UFC as a brand is strong but they are ripping off fighters that's why their top stars complaining about money, getting boxing licenses, threatening to retire ect. Connor wants to make a deal directly with Floyd to fight and maximize his pay. Floyd will not share any money with UFC. If Connor wants to give up his money so UFC gets a cut amd can pay Floyd more then UFC can be involved. but Connor don't seem like he wants to take pennies on the dollar. That leaves UFC out in the cold.

Yes but Goldenboy and Top Rank promoted those events. The only event that he put on himself did 350k buys. Mayweather Promotions is an extremely average promotional company and quite frankly don't really seem to be knowing all that much about promotion.

The UFC do better fight promotion than anyone in boxing, period. They would undoubtedly help the fight get to the next level which in turn would help Floyd.

It matters because UFC can't afford to be involved and pay Floyd what he wants UNLESS they rob conner blind and that's the issue. Connor wants to be paid more but if he is happy with UFC taking a huge cut of his money to keep ufc in the loop cool. But as you heard by the offer from ufc they tried to take money from Floyd offering only 25m. That needs to change or UFC can't be in the loop.

With this kinda money Dana will work a deal with Conor he is not going to lose Conor for good by playing dictator over one circus fight, and Conor is not ****** enough to try and blow the UFC off.

This is all very big business and what goes on behind closed doors will be a lot different than all the bravado sht talking too the media.

Maybe. But there is a lot of speculation that the Muhammad Ali Act is an out for MMA fighters since the UFC contracts would be deemed illegal under the MAA. And Conor specifically mentioned the MAA during his PPV talk thing the other day so I'm assuming he's delved a lil deeper with legal consultants about it.

If that holds water in court is the main question & one that could be a sh^tstorm for the UFC if it got proven right publicly so it might be in the benefit of the UFC to bend a lil more than usual with Conor on this one if this is his true aim.

That whole deal is more interesting to me than the fight as a fan of both sports. But I love Conor's ability to sell the fight already. Stole Roger's line. "Most people don't know sh^t about fighting". "My fist is bigger than his head". "People been laughing at me for years & I keep proving them wrong". Etc & so on. This is legit gonna be huge & maybe the first billion dollar fight as Conor said if it does actually happen.

What kind of slave contracts do the UFC make their fighters sign that prevent them from competing in a completely different sport? SMH. It's only a matter of time before one of their big stars ****s them off and goes it alone with this bull**** along with the slave wages.

Yup . It actually seems like Floyd is trying to talk some business sense into McGregor . Obviously Floyds doing what's best for Floyd but there's a big $$$ incentive for McGregor in fighting Floyd and seems like the Dana and the UFC don't like that they're possibly gonna be left outta the party .

He just wants a piece of that check.

Investors pay the money not the UFC, the financial experts will go over the projected figures , if the numbers add up it will be open to investors to buy in, different partys will share the pie, who knows Floyd might finance it himself.

Says the guy who admitted he doesn't watch much MMA at all lol If they were so good at promoting, why is it that you hardly watch the sport and only know a few of the champions?

And Mayweather promotions was lead promoter on several of his big fights including the Pacquiao and Canelo fights. Also Floyd's PPVs have outdone UFC PPVs when they were being held on the same night! So your facts are all misplaced.
