Comments Thread For: McGregor Warns UFC: I Want To Co-Promote, You Must Entice Me!

Mark my words, when a Diaz 2 scenario happens again McWelfare won't be getting the nod. No more fixed result.

When Conor was coming up, he was actually funny and entertaining - but now he's starting to just become non-funny and egotistical - just like Floyd. I think he's going to start to turn off his own fans. Nobody really cares about Conor unless he has a fight scheduled just like Floyd. Neither is relevant without a fight lined up.

Conor definitely will not resign with the UFC and he has four fights left on his deal - so he's either going to fight in the UFC or just retire. The UFC should start to consider stripping him of the title - it's been over a year of not defending the title. Everyday the Tony fight becomes a more interesting fight than Diaz 3. I'd say if Conor doesn't schedule a fight soon - just strip him and have Tony fight the Khabib-Edson winner for undisputed title.

Fans who don't want fighters to maximize earnings are horrible people!!!

not when their doing it to prevent the fight that we want to see from happening.

why does a fan have to care about a fighter's pockets? worrying about another man's pocket is generally some heaux shyt

I don't blame McGregor for angling for a bigger slice of the pie. He'd be a fool not to after the mayweather fight increased his profile so much

People risk their life!!!! No worries! I hope they make all the money possible because most likely they'll pay with their health as their career comes to an end!!!

The ego is unreal, the guy got his ass beat by a 40 year old man who hasnt been in the ring in ages. He's ducking a retired, fat Paulie because he knows Paulie likely stops him like Floyd did.

Normally that would be enough to humble a man but not this guy.

The man is somewhat of a clown, but what is he saying that is incorrect?

MMA fighters make dog sh/t money, Connor just made many times over his career earnings in one fight.

He has leverage, if the UFC offers him a slave deal, he should just go into boxing, fight 3 or 4 fights and walk.

But lets not hate, the man is maximizing his earning potential, I am a boxing guy but my hats off to him.

if he decide to come back to boxing. he's gonna have 1-2 big fights only. he just simply cant compete with the top guys in boxing and talking shiiet can only take him so far.

nobody is gonna pay to see conor vs some bum in boxing. he has 2 big fights maxed in boxing and im being nice here.

Why does he deserve respect, he came for the big money that's it, he knew he was going to lose. Lol at doing better, he was a joke and wont fight Paulie because he knows he will get exposed again.

How can I respect a guy who got stopped and then went out partying to celebrate a few hours later? Stop sucking up to these jokers.

Indeed. Anyone giving him any "respect" for his move to boxing is a fool. His "transition" was pretty much the same thing as when Toney went over to the UFC. It was easy money for Toney, he got 500k just to go in there and tap out. I don't see anyone giving any big respect to Toney for what he did. It was pretty much the same thing with Conor, he went in there with a retired boxer and the soon as it got tough for him the ref stopped it. It was a glorified sparring session.

I would respect Conor if he transitioned to boxing and started like any other prospect and went through some tough journeymen on the way up and then got championship fights because he would deserve them.

I'm a boxer, if someone offered me to fight a 25 pounds smaller retired guy in MMA (that would be GSP I guess) for tens of millions of dollars I would gladly do it. The worst thing that can happen is that he takes me down and I tap out. Big deal. No real damage and money in the bank. I don't see this would be worthy of respect though.

He's acting exactly like someone who cannot handle big money. All those side promotions will fade as soon as he's away from the sport. Why do you think Floyd continued to come back to boxing? Because Floyd couldn't make money doing anything else. As soon as Conor isn't fighting, his star will fade. He better make good investments if he's going to go the "I don't need anybody" route.

Yea but Conor will do commercials, endorsements, maybe movies. He will be able to do allot more than Floyd. Floyd could only do boxing, and club appearances.

this is what happens when you invest in someone, they turn on you.what a selfish piece of ****.
