    Honestly I really don’t care. I have no hate or dislike of either guy. Just call it as I see it.
    A champion as great as Conor will get a rematch if he wants it. Money talks.

        I don’t disagree. That said based on his actual performance in that fight he isn’t worthy. But yeah money talks.

          I’ve seen champions in both boxing and MMA get their asses whipped one-sidedly and come back and win the rematch. This isn’t one of those permanent “he can’t win” type of fights.

            I can't think of too many times were that happened in boxing. The one that comes to mind was Lewis vs. Rahman. I didn't remember much of the details of the first fight. It was competitive up until the KO. But it was well known, and I do remember this, that Lewis took Rahman totally for granted and was ill prepared for the altitude. Rahman was a huge underdog. Lewis was hoping for Tyson but he got suspended. I can understand why Lewis overlooked Rahman (though this isn't a justification for losing).

            I don't think McGregor can say anything of the kind. This was a big fight and he should have been prepared. That fight wasn't competitive in any way. This wasn't some underdog who beat his butt this was the champion. He can't use the he wasn't prepared or he overlook him excuse.

            If Conor has another fight or two and looks good then go for it, get back in the ring and show the world what he is made of. But based on what we saw in that fight a rematch isn't needed at this point. Not saying it won't happen right away because of the money but on its merits absolutely not.

              great figures, mostly based on mcgregor before he made millions boxing but hes unproven now, that performance was poor and he needs to fight a contender or two to re establish himself but since money talks he may get his rematch immediately, but i think he needs a fight or two, he looks rusty in there to me, no sharpness, too easy to takedown

                The fight did just under 2.4 M Buys. According to Dave Meltzer https://www.mmafighting.com/2018/10/...-pay-per-views

                This cements McGregor as the biggest combat sports star in the world, with Mayweather retired. But even if Mayweather comes back, a rematch with Pacquiao wouldn't even be able to sniff these numbers.

                Canelo vs. Golovkin couldn't put up these numbers either.

                  The only fight that could potentially surpass Pac-Mayweather would be McGregor vs Mayweather in an MMA match (exact same rules no exceptions).

                  No fight out there right now in either boxing or UFC that will beat FM-Pac or even McGregor-FM.

                    There are many. Simon Brown/Terry Norris comes to mind. Many in MMA too...!!! McGregor was out of the octagon since 2016. It took Khabib the wrestler 4 rounds to submit him. If Conor wants an immediate rematch he will get it. But I agree with a lot of what you say.

                      This is true. Mcgregor is the A side PPV Star for combat sports like it or not. If khabib and mcgregor rematch it will sell even more than the first time. I read somewhere that khabib gained 8 MILLION new instagram followers in 48 hours.
