Comments Thread For: UFC Prez: Mayweather-McGregor Will Be Tough To Get Done

[Scipio2009]

But Conor getting Humiliated or Ko'd backfires on the UFC no matter what amount of money received. IMAGE is so important these days for fan appeal and reputation. Floyd would embarrass and Humiliate little leprechaun Conor and probably knock a few tattoos off the big mouthIrish braggart.

Backing out of the fight now, with no one else to blame, would have a similar effect to Conor getting embarrassed, without the benefit of getting that money.

The UFC has tried to bill McGregor as the "baddest man on the planet"; if he runs from the Floyd fight (with Floyd going public with reasonable terms), and he ends up struggling in his next UFC fight (likely the third fight with Nate Diaz, to close out their trilogy; the biggest fight that UFc can make), the illusion gets popped even further.

The whole point is that there was never going to be a Conor-Floyd fight and it was all a publicity stunt for both men to get millions of free PUB. Which they both are getting the free PUBLICITY still. Nate Diaz was picked to fight Conor because Nate is a fringe fighter with a very average record and average skills for the UFC. This whole topic was a UFC hype job from the beginning. No MMA fighter stands a chance with the world's best fighters who are Pro Boxers. DUH? Tooth Fairy anyone or Easter Bunny?
