Comments Thread For: McGregor Feels Ali Act Can Prevent UFC Blocking Mayweather Deal

[WesternChamp]

you can't be serious

what sort of "fan" would prefer that money go to a promoter?

and not even a boxing promoter

i honestly dont care where the money goes. i was just pointing out what you said about dana trying to pocket in $200 mil while floyd is trying to do the same.

[WesternChamp]

not sure I should believe that LMAO

so you believe if floyd fought berto again he's gonna get $32 mil? lol. this fight wont even generate any interest for floyd to even get $3 mil let alone $32 mil.

Mayweather and Mcgregor are smart, don't have to be a genius to see what they aimin at.

both fight and make a fight which sells from 2 to 4 million (Honestly don't see it breaking Floyd vs Pacquia record) earning Floyd's second best check on his career and McGregor's best check on his career.

Floyd goes out there sayin "I beat the top p4p ufc guy" and retires with his 50-0.

McGregor retires gaining more money from this fight than he would earn on his whole MMA career. He wouldn't need to fight anymore, and could go like "I fought an all time great on his discipline and lost, nothing wrong with that".

Win-win situation for both, to me this is a freaking circus act but don't get me wrong, because these huge events are a thing on their own........................I'd pay for this mismatch

so that's even worst than what dana offer conor then lol.

Lol...You may be right, especially if the fight flops.

This fight will garner 6M-8M PPV buys! Just about TWICE as many as Mayweather/Pacquiao because MMA fans plus boxing fans will tune in to see which style is the best - pure boxing or MMA standup!

lmfao at floyd and manny! .. Two old has-beens begging for a fight with a ufc clown!

you mean conor mc tapout aka mc quitter the ufc employee is dreaming of being rich as floyd and manny one day hahahahahahaah

Ive seen people say that UFC maintains a contract on fighters for life until well past retirement. my understanding is that would be illegal.

Im sure he is doing something illegal, contracts should have a time limit and things like forcing them to extend their contract with every single fight so that they basically are indefinitely contracted are sketchy as chit.

but just because its illegal doesnt mean its easy to get out of, they will just tie chit up in courts. we have seen boxers sidelined for years trying to get out of contracts.

That's just not true. many fighters have let their contract run out and sign with Bellator (recent examples being Rory McDonald, Ben Henderson, Matt Mitrione). it's just most fighters agree to keep extending

so you believe if floyd fought berto again he's gonna get $32 mil? lol. this fight wont even generate any interest for floyd to even get $3 mil let alone $32 mil.

although I won't go anywhere near this fight, it's probably the only fight that Floyd could make now that would generate 1.5-2 mil buys bc of the ufc audience.

I seriously hate that McGregor and Mayweather are baiting fans into this snooze fest. Mayweather can't knock anyone out so it's just gonna be boring af.

if you pay for this garbage you are part of whads wrong with this sport
