Damn Cleverly the champ & getting $100K to Jack's $750K? I thought Cleverly was trying to get a nice $ deal? Wtf was they offering him before the $100K if that rumor was true lol.



Yea idk how he goes back to the UFC unless he just gets completely embarrassed & a 2nd boxing match is unrealistic.

And yea I think Ferguson or Lee both have a great chance of beating Conor for a fight where Conor is gonna see a hell of a lot less money then $30M BEFORE he gets his PPV points. In the UFC he's getting 7 digits guaranteed & maybe $10M-$15M after the PPV upside gets added in.

Sky Sports has the UK rights for the fight, fairly certain that Matchroom is going to kick him some of the upside from the UK take.

Espinoza must be getting nervous.
CBS must have spent millions of dollars in promoting this fight,
not to mention the huge guarantees they have to fulfill.
They have to sell millions of PPVs to break even.
It will be apparent if they made a profit or not by just looking at the
regular fights they'll be able to produce the rest of the year.
If they can barely come up with a few, that means 2015 is repeated again.

Let it go dude. The gate is apparently already over the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, and all of the talk about how the fight is tracking already put the projections on the fight at at least 4m PPV homes.

No one is nervous about anything at this point, lol

You guys realize that he is only making this amount because he is fighting Floyd. Against Paulie he makes maybe $4-5 mil if that

Against Paulie, you'd still have a PPV event that would draw near 1m homes. Add a sizable live turnout in NYC, and you'd still be talking about Zuffa/McGregor/Paulie splitting up at least $30m-$40m in proceeds off the fight.

It depends. If that sparring video is a one sided ass beating the public isn't buying near 1M of nothing. If its legit competitive then there might be something there. Once that tape gets released in the next week or the next month or so then how viable Conor vs Paulie is can be decided.

But I contend Conor isn't in this for Paulie fights. If he gets his ass beat today he's done. If he wins he's calling out the Canelo vs GGG winnner or Thurman or Spence or the Pacquiao vs Horn II winner maybe. If its something in between its anyones guess, but I highly doubt its Paulie despite Paulie & Showtime wanting that cuz I believe he sees Paulie as beneath him & unworthy of a legit fight. Sparring partner, fair play, a actual fight...I doubt it.

We'll see doe.

"You'll never beat the Irish"- LOL. pretty sure the British have been beating your green asses for hundreds of years

[TheReadyTimeBoy]

Floyd should come to the ring with members of the Orange order to trigger McGregor's ****** ass

[CLUBBER!]

Floyd should come to the ring with members of the Orange order to trigger McGregor's ****** ass

And Conor should come in with Floyd's ex that he beat up
