He'd be a fool not to. To hell with MMA. Some of the world's best soccer players are currently playing for nobody teams in a nothing China league. These players grew up dreaming of playing for Barcelona and winning the champions league so what are they doing in China? More money.

So why should Conor turn down bigger paydays, when unlike Chinese soccer, boxing is also MORE popular and brings greater exposure than MMA? Should he stay just to appease his haters who will NEVER be a fan of his?

Remember, these same haters were bashing him relentlessly when he was one of the most active fighters in the UFC, so don't buy their outrage over his inactivity. They hated him when he took Mendes and Diaz on short notice too, putting shots at the title on hold and in jeopardy.

Go back to boxing Conor and crack Manny's already destroyed chin, beat the bus driver Horn for the title and rematch Floyd, bring Paulie back for more sparring and the endless entertainment that delivers,
retire a billionaire.

Or take a pay cut to $30m to put another beating on Max Holloway to appease haters that won't even have the decency to credit your performance.
 
He won't get a $60 million + payday in boxing anymore.
 
Part of the draw was an mma guy in boxing. If he quits mma entirely he’s just another boxer, probably a low level boxer.

That’s like Rousey quitting mma to do movies, when they only want her because of the mma aspect.
 
Conor doesn't stand any chance vs boxing elite as we saw with May/Mac. His best bet is to come back and try to unify the lw belt against Fergie.
 
Highly unlikely. Mayweather is a bit of an anomaly.

The biggest boxing fight is against Pacquaio which is a huge fight but might only do like half the buys that Mayweather did. Then if he loses that his stock drops even more and there are no more huge fights for him.

Lomachenko got $1.2 million and Rigo got $400k.
 
He’ll never beat a relevant boxer.

Maybe he has one more big payday fight, maybe.

That’s it. Nobody will pay to see him box again after that.
 
Lol @ 60m

he didn't even get 60m from the Floyd fight but it's cool to pretend your worth more and fool the average fan

it's how he got his fan base to grow
ufc pimped him with rented cars/mansions/suits, had him go magazine covers, interviews.

it worked for them and conor winning helped them
but conor is a fraud

There aren't any big name boxers McGregor could actually beat. Even De la Hoya would KO him. Why do you want your boy to get embarrassed?
 
Nobody will pay him that much to lose to actual boxers
 
I'd rather he didn't just let one boxer after another beat his brains in for a larger paycheck. He's actually great at MMA and seems to have more of a passion for it than boxing (hence him following a career path in MMA instead of boxing), so ya. He's better off there in the long run. Maybe he can take another boxing match down the road when or if he feels confident enough in his improved boxing skills.

60 Million? LMAO. Conor has only 2 or 3 fights left. Conor is not getting out of bed for less then 100 Million including the UFC.

I disagree. Oscar would struggle with a 170 pound Conor.

Those guys are past their prime...thats why they are in China...China pays for their name and not because they are prime players...

Even if he retires hes still under contract with the ufc.

Simple business knowledge

In correct, yes them same players might be lacking ambition to win the top trophies etc etc and are very much happy to just follow the money but most come from the top leagues in Europe, are in their prime and aren't 36 plus.
