Just because it's truth doesn't mean life is fair thus he'll get a fair share. These guys chose to punch and get punched in the face for a living, not too many people pay you millions for that so what they pay is what they pay.Originally Posted by NaturalBornHustler
The problem then lies in him wanting ~30% of the gross. That will lead to Conor wanting 50% of the gross. Those are revenue figures before the venue is paid, the ppv providers are paid, the other figures are paid, promoting the fights etc. You are correct on the fact that mma fighters have been underpaid historically, but to make up for it by overpaying that mongoloid is unthinkable.
I don't even know why Conor is going to bother going back to MMA at this point. It's going to feel really awful only making 5-10 mill for a fight.
When GSP beats Bisbing maybe he can fight him for that belt.
If I'm the UFC, I want him defending belts and fighting 2x per year to help boost PPVs. But I just don't see it happening.
The flip side is now Conor has more leverage than he has ever had before.
Oh you wan't me to fight in the UFC? Pay me. No? OK I'll go box and make triple what I make in the octagon. Your move Dana.
conor also genuinely loves to fight.

This...
the guy is 29 in his prime and loves to fight. He could very well continue to fight for the next ten years.
This idea that Conor can box and make a lot more than he makes in the UFC won't workout for two reasons. First, the UFC has him under contract and wont allow it. Second, he isn't a good enough boxer. The top young guys will destroy him, maybe he could sneak one more payday out of an old pillow fisted guy like Malignaggi but no chance McGregor steps in the ring with guys like GGG and Canelo and that's where the paydays are at. There are no paydays for Conor in boxing other than Floyd.

De la Hoya yapping he would knock McGregor out in 2 rounds.
AKA he wants in on the money truck, but I don't see it happening.
This PPV wasn't worth half the standard price and now they should just cancel it being on PPV outright calling up their friends at Fox Sports about having them air it even if it's on FS2.
I've watched a ton of shitty UFC cards over the years but this is one not even worth my time to go find links for cuz it's that bad.

Card's not that bad. PPV worthy? Perhaps not, on paper.

It was arguably an interesting UFN based on the Nunes fight, and even Dana swore Nunes would never headline again.

lol I have never seen anything like this for a PPV card. This is barely even Fox Sports worthy . Will be the worst PPV numbers the UFC has even seem in its modern era
JFC is WMMA a joke.
How does anybody get submitted from there? McMann, who actually fought for the title at one point, is a fucking joke just like all WMMA.

Just got friend (casual fan) text me asking if I am watching the fights tonight. Had no idea what they were. Apparently he wants to see nunes lose. WMMA title fights are clearly big with casuals...
Melendez got some weak legs and leg kick defense.
i love all the suckdicking @ jeremy they do because hes soooooo great at beating up a guy with one leg for 12 minutes.

lol yea they said he fought the perfect fight yet he couldn't finish a guy gimping around for a majority of the fight.
Melendez got heart I'll give him that but Jeremy should have definitely took him out.
Cejudo looked good tonight in the midget division
