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

[kafkod]

only manny the ****** makes those 3 million purses for fighting bums like vargas.... Even today floyd would get 5 times more for berto than manny got for vargas hahahahahahahah.....

LMFAO at Floyd and Manny! .. Two old has-beens begging for a fight with a UFC clown!

why you gotta put Mexicans down like that though lol.. why cant it just be "fight a tough kid with a record of 4-6"?

lol it was a compliment. The young mexicans that get put up against more high profile prospects, usually give a good account of themselves, have some skills, a pro style, and don't have fear.

isn't that what Floyd is trying to do?

If I'm not mistaken, Floyd said, he had already offered Conor 15mill and a percentage of the pay per view.

Dana doesn't want this fight to happen - period. Losing in embarrassing fashion hurts McGregor's reputation, which with the lose of Rousey, is basically the last Triple A bankable name in the UFC Brand. Now don't get me wrong, the UFC brand is probably the most valuable company brand in the fighting world (better than GBP, TR, or Mayweather) - because they have proven time and again, their fans will tune in at respectable numbers for whoever is promoted. Boxing lives and dies on the shoulders of a select few. So I'm not suggesting that UFC is going to shrivel and die without Connor. But they still don't want to see the goose laying golden eggs get slaughtered on the alter of boxing.

At the end of the day, if Dana and the UFC think they have closed the Ali Act loophole, than I'm inclined to believe them. They have a proven track record of not only winning law suits, but scrubbing certain fighters from their history on a whim to prove a point that no one fighter is bigger than the UFC Brand...and I doubt McGregor is the one who's going to bring the promotion titan to their knees.

Great Post.

ahhh.. so dana gets to keep it then.

you can't be serious

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

and not even a boxing promoter

[aboutfkntime]

It is always a Loop Hole in this Contracts, will take a GREAT LAWYERS to find it but if they do then the fight will happen.

Dana White don't want the fight because he thinks his star losing Mayweather is bad for his sport but that is not the case at all, if anything win or lose it will make McGregor a even BIGGER star when he goes back to MMA

UFC have Multiple Stars and more in the Rise with Cody Garbrandt and a MONSTER HEAVYWEIGHT in Francis Ngannou so trying to stop McGregor from pursing big money with Mayweather only makes them look BAD

Considering the amount of money both could make, I would say a Lawsuit might be worth it for McGregor to get that 25-50 Million

I think so too

and McGregor could make more than that

[aboutfkntime]

Floyd needs a big name opponent to make money now. The days when he could earn $30million for fighting TBA are over. If he fought Berto again, he'd be lucky to get $3million for it.

not sure I should believe that LMAO

Here we go....

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

Such a sweet, sweet boy. Favorite UFC fighter, but he's hallucinating if he thinks he's more than a fart in a stiff wind in the boxing world, albeit to Mayweather. Floyd puts him down in 4. Otherwise, McGregor self destructs and throws a leg kick once he knows he's done.
