McGregor gets paid more and is more famous than any active boxer right now. Fact.Because Conor is a C level athlete and Anthony is an A level athlete
A level athlete money is still a shocker to sherdog
Molina made Wilder do the chicken dance.He has never had a PPV in the states, I think Dana White is investing in his potential value, but AJ might be muscular but his chin is sketchy and his gas tank.
I dont see AJ reigning very long, I think Deontay Wilder knocks him out, and Wilder has horrible boxing skills but he has an iron chin and has legit one punch power.
Zuffa boxing isnt UFC. They wont have USADA.I absolutely love Joshua, but that fucker ain't passing USADA testing hahaha, we will be left with a deflated Reem version within a year.
so, did you see Wilder who barely weighs 214 pounds take all of Luis Ortiz flush power shots and not go down?Molina made Wilder do the chicken dance.
The point is Conor wasnt getting paid in UFC, he had to go to boxing to get paid in a one off spectacle.McGregor gets paid more and is more famous than any active boxer right now. Fact.
Also, Conor GOT paid 3.5mil. That is nickle and dimes to what he's worth now.
Good thread.
Da fuq is this shit?
You’ve got an entire division clogged up because you don’t wanna pay the man who brought major promotion to your company, and all of a sudden 500mil magically appears for a boxer that’s less popular than your best star??
Where’s all this money coming from!? What am I missing here??
EDIT:
Veteran combat sports journalist Gareth A. Davies on Wednesday reported in The Telegraph Joshua (20-0 boxing) is someone the UFC wants to sign to a multi-fight deal. That deal, Davies reported, would be worth in the neighborhood of $500 million when converted from British pounds to U.S. dollars.
The point is, WASN'T =/= isn't. He is now worth more. He is much more popular than AJ. He would sell much more PPV's than AJ. What ever Dana offers AJ, Conor will get much more because he is worth more. This is simply fact.The point is Conor wasnt getting paid in UFC, he had to go to boxing to get paid in a one off spectacle.
When he was in UFC he was renting lambos and fur coats and gullible idiots believed he was making 20 million a fight because they believe anything.
I absolutely love Joshua, but that fucker ain't passing USADA testing hahaha, we will be left with a deflated Reem version within a year.
If Dana is offering 500mil multi-fight contracts to fighters who barely draw 1million PPV buys, how do you think a fighter like McGregor will react when he is getting paid 3.5million and is three times the draw Joshua is.no it wont.
Thats all from shoveling sand and elephant meat brah.
Ah yes I forgot about the UFC Sports Institute back door.

I just read this
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/boxing/0/anthony-joshua-vs-joseph-parker-prize-money-much-fight-purse/
why would Joshua fight for 500 000 ?
Why?
Also, how would he pass by USADA?
