Connor McGregor: From the welfare line to 100 million dollar payday

[lparm]

why should he go back to the ufc after getting paid 100million? he can just retire and live a long healthy life

Connor is a true warrior. He doesn't care about records he loves real combat. He will fight until he's 40 at least because the instinct to fight was born in him. Floyd fights for money. Connor fights for his people.

I actually don't think he will fight again after this. Maybe one more in the UFC, he probably did a deal with them if they allow this, he will come back for 1 more big UFC fight.

This is his cashing out fight and he landed a huge fight. UFC are cashing out on Conor too, they know this fight probably makes them as much as 4 McGregor PPV's, maybe more worldwide, and its probably unlikely he was ever going to stick around that long, plus another loss in UFC might put a dent in his drawing power.

Dana and the UFC know he can't win. They openly never wanted him in this fight at all until the money was too good to turn down, knowing he would probably be on his way out sooner rather than later anyway.

Wrong.

Connor put himself in that position. Do you think mayweather would fight an unknown UFC fighter? No he's fighting the biggest name in all of combat sports. Connor is the A side too which is why this fight is happening.

Do you think McGregor could make $100M fighting any other boxer?

Mayweather made this fight happen. He goaded the UFC, it's fans, and McGregor into stepping in the ring. He picked the biggest MMA fighter to maximize his returns. McGregor wouldn't be in this position if Mayweather doesn't give him the opportunity.

Let's be honest about this lads. Even if Connor doesn't fight Floyd in 2 years he's the biggest star in any combat sport by far. He'd be the megastar with or without Floyd but this fight has sped up the process. It was inevitable Connor was going to be bigger than the UFC, bigger than mma, bigger than boxing.

Connor is well known for his generosity. I guarantee he'd willingly give Dana White money because he's his friend.

His sparring partners might disagree since he kept them in a roach infested hostel and all lol

[johnm is...]

I dislike Conor as much as anyone, but what he's done is nothing short of brilliant.

The guy was cashing $250 welfare checks 3 years ago.

He's about to fight the best boxer in the world, in boxing, for $100 million, and he's NEVER had a pro boxing match.

It's impressive. I don't care how much of it the UFC gets.

You don't know how Floyd grew up. And nobody gives a **** how Conor grew up either. They have both become successful at what they do only Floyd never got knocked out while Conor tapped out. All you know is what you've read or heard about the two. You don't really know how they grew up.

The biggest action fight floyd's ever been in was against the mother of his children while forcing them to watch, though.

Connor knows the struggle of humble beginnings. Floyd for all his posturing can't relate. His dad made decent money in boxing and you never hear about Floyd being a welfare child. Connor is from more humble background and it shows in his fighting style. He fights for his family and his people. Reading How tough he had it and how he made it big makes me respect him even more.
