Zero chance his next fight is Woodley who is bigger, stronger, top wrestling pedigree and has mule kick power to put Conor to sleep. Conor wants Nate for the easy fight with good pay day, but might be forced to take Ferguson or vacate. Let's see if the UFC has grown a backbone and starts acting like a sport again...
Conor was responsible for over 50% of revenue in 2016...or something unreal like that..
Conor's boxing fight is the only reason UFC made great profits this year
Before Conor, the UFC was undergoing a massive decline
It was Conor who came along and single handedly saved the UFC
The UFC WILL do what EVER CONOR WANTS
Conor literally OWNS the UFC (Conor is bigger then MMA)
You don't think the UFC would love to do another 600million dollar Conor boxing match too?
The UFC would start promoting Conor vs Pacquioa right now IF that's what Conor wanted. As if the UFC wouldn't want to make big money lol
But here's a thought, Conor ACTUALLY WANTS TO FIGHT TONY
Did no one see Conor's interview event in Glasgow?
Conor said "I plan to defend and unify"
It's always been Conor's plan to fight Tony
But because Conor simply wanted to take a little time off, to rest, after making history against Floyd...impatient, self entirled people immediately started fiening faux outrage
Another reason is Conor has been in negotiations with the UFC to get his FAIR share. That was the true "hold up"
But I firmly believe Lorenzo has stepped in on behalf of Conor, and all things are getting resolved now
I expect Conor's highly anticipated glorious UFC return, to start being advertised soon. It's going to be massive news and headlines. Expect Conor vs Tony no later then May.
It's gonna be beyond massive
"Conor made history vs Floyd. Landed 113 punches and won 4 to 6 rounds over boxing's best, in his debut. It proved Conor has elite boxing. It made MMA look good. And NOW watch Conor make his glorious return to UFC. Conor's next opponent is in trouble. Conor is going to smash him and remind people all over again just how special he is. Tune in"
It's gonna be so lit. I expect Conor to get really close to 2 million buys
All the boxing fans who were impressed by Conor's performance against Floyd who became new Conor fans are gonna tune in to watch Conor smash his MMA opponent (which will be Tony)
I believe Conor has been given ownership stakes and equitity...but I believe a part of the deal is also that Conor can't talk about it in public
I also believe that Conor's base pay will now be around 15 million to 30 million. Conor even deserves more then that, but it's a better deal then before
I will be very interested to see his base pay for his next fight
What ever it is, it will 100% be history
I'm hoping Conor was able to get his base pay up to 25million plus the biggest PPV points ever
I believe Conor and UFC are happy as partners - both happy with the new deal, and are in a good place now
Anyway,
all these people who were crying about Conor simply taking a few months off are going to look insanely stupid, when not only does Conor fight Tony, but sparks Tony worse then he did Alvarez
Tony with his many gaping defensive flaws is tailor made to get his soul counter fucked by Conor
Alvarez is a better boxer then Tony
