Everybody Here Realizes That Conor...

[BRaVo cHoKe]

Sherdog can hate it all they like, but the TS is right.

The Mayweather fight showed that Conor is a draw and a promotional juggernaut by himself. Contracts can and should always be renegotiated if you feel you are outperforming your current one which he is.

 

[Ananth]

His personality and devastating finishes would have made him a star regardless.

His performance vs Holloway never deserved a headliner in Dublin. UFC needed a star and Conor fit the criterion. UFC's were growing themselves, so if not for him, they would have found a different person and different marketing angle.

 

[MuddyFugger]

Shit thread, shit poster.

You're just making baseless assumptions.

Yes.. thank you..

I've noticed that TS has really gone out of his way to say the dumbest shit lately

 

[snackgod]

Dana said Conor wanted this fight and asked for it.

dana also said jon jones fights in 2018 as well. well know that not happening.

conor said he wanted to fight khabib in Russia 2 and where still waiting on that 2.

it safe to say when conor opens his mouth he lying and with dana 50% of the time it not true as well.

 

[snackgod]

I've gone through this before on Sherdog. Most losers on here will never have a valued ability which lets them name their price, that's why they completely fail to understand Conor asking for more money. In their jobs at Starbucks they know if they demand more money, they'll just get fired.

For people who actually have a valuable ability it's different. You can name your price if you want and negotiate. Furthermore Conor knows the UFC can't draw shit these days, no more GSP, Anderson, Jones, Rhonda, Chael, etc. He knows he has the ace in the hole and is holding WME over the coals until he gets the lion share of the prize which he feels he deserves, this is exactly what Mayweather did to guys back in the day and was why the Pacquiao fight took so long to arrange.

Like I said, lots of losers on here who don't understand that as they'll never be in that position. The idea of asking for more money for their paltry set of skills is so alien to them it's like trying to explain Pythagoras' Theorem to a bird.

and the ufc will say hey conor u have 2 fights left on a contract he was more than happy to sign.

 

[snackgod]

he already the highest paid on the roster. so ufc will be fine sit on your ass at home doing nothing.

 

[Death By Samson]

Pricing yourself out of a fight is a convenient way to duck while attempting to still save face.

 

[IloveTHIS]

simple truth. a lot of butthurt kids are going to respond in this thread. they let emotion overtake rational thought. they want everyone to know how much THEY HATE CONOR OMG HE SUCKS so they just shitpost over and over.

Conor is a pro fighter and a double champion. He called out Aldo when he was the p4p#1 guy. He not only called him out but he mocked him endlessly for a year.

After he starched Aldo he called out then LW champ RDA, who was on a fucking tear. People were terrified of the guy and saying he was climbing the p4p list rapidly too. Everyone thought he was on some new mystical gear because of how scary he was. Conor still called him out, called him a bum etc etc and it was RDA who pulled out of the fight, for a hurt toe.....Conor was ready to fuck him up.

Point is, Conor is not scared of any LW and below fighter. Why would he be? To think he is is just shameless emotional shitposting.

Conor is waiting to paid what his time and potentially his health is worth to him. Simple as. When Conor gets bored and the UFC forks over a contract that reflects Conors actual worth, he will sign that shit and knock another dudes head off his shoulders.

End.

We know he said he wanted to fight Edgar. Dana also said he wanted o fight Edgar. I don’t believe either one but coming from both of them? At this point Conor is not set to fight anyone and he has shown no interest in either khabib or Tony (the two top guys in the division he is the champion of).

He did show interest in fighting Edgar. Keep in mind that 99% of his fights are against smaller fighters. His best asset is his size advantage. I think his fight with Diaz was an eye opener for him. Wait and see what Tony and khabib do to him.

Again, you are sounding like someone who has no skills to offer. Contracts get broken all the time when there is significant change in circumstances, such as becoming the biggest PPV draw in the world. A guy like Conor is only going to deal with the UFC on a fight by fight basis in reality, way too big a star to expect him to sign 3 fight contracts. In reality, Conor could just play hardball and cite injury or other concerns, he can't be forced to fight and WME would rather he fought than didn't as he contributes huge amounts of revenues to their coffers so will be willing to accommodate that.

Like I said, if you work a wage slave job you'll never understand this. Reality is Conor can do what the fuck he wants at this juncture and UFC/WME will swallow it because to them some bottom line is better than no bottom line. That's how business works, son.

 

[markg171]

I guess he was ok with a last minute fight with Frank Edgar? Apparently going down to fight a smaller guy that is not a champion makes all these contract negotiations right as rain. He wants nothing to do with Khabib or Tony.

If you haven’t realized that one of Conor’s biggest sticking points is that he doesn’t want to do the amount of media the UFC wants him to do nowadays, even though he literally said that was why he was interested in stepping in short notice against Edgar, then there’s no helping you.

Conor will fight anyone. He just doesn’t want to fly back and forth across the country/globe doing interviews for shitty low budget MMA “radio shows” when he doesn’t actually get paid for this.

 

[Just Creed]

Both eli5 and mixedfights out with the random shit threads tonight.

 

[Gilday]

With this thread and your pfp I think you might be Dana himself

This guy is really going for the sherdog "Cretin of the month" award.

I wonder if he was inspired by the guy on the $400 thread posting his stocks and shares. Maybe he's related to the guy with "multiple businesses".

Ironically it's you who sounds like the loser, as you're too much of a dullard to fully comprehend the dynamic of the situation.

You think if Conor demands his 100mil Floyd paycheque is matched the UFC is just going to roll over and go, "Oh ok" <Lmaoo>

The UFC has a monopoly on MMA, and therefore ultimately holds all the cards. Yes Conor is a draw and yes they obviously want him to continue fighting and earning them big money, but if he retires, the UFC is going to carry on trucking, and carry on making a profit. It's hardly going to break them.

So what does Conor do if the UFC doesn't bend to his greedy demands? Go to Bellator and demand they pay him 50 or 100 million a fight?

Start his own promotion? And fight who? Some random Russians, or Artem maybe?

Go back to boxing? Unlikely, as everyone now knows he'd get battered by any elite boxer.

If Conor wants to be an MMA fighter, he needs the UFC more than they need him. The UFC is his employer, and his means of making the money he's demanding. Ultimately the UFC holds the cards.

UFC doesn't hold all the cards you dope, again, with your wage slave mentality. He didn't need the UFC for the Floyd fight, they basically leeched off the current contract but all of the hard work was done by Showtime and Mayweather promotions. How much work do you think it takes to set up a cage or ring in an arena and film it you moron?

Problem with fools like you is you see the UFC as the be all and end all of MMA. A few years ago people thought you needed Don King to put on a big boxing show, but guess what? Floyd proved them wrong. Have no illusions, that is what Conor wants to do, cut out the UFC middle man completely, he's enough of a draw now that he can do it too. It's sad you have such a neutered slave mentality that you hate on a guy for having the ambition to do this, but just because you're some low expectation having motherfucker, it don't mean the rest of us have to be.

It's funny how after years of fans bitching and whining about fighters not getting paid that the second one does turn it around on the UFC, you all hate on him anyway. Negative, shitty personalities. Go crawl back under your rock.

 

[Spacelord13]

Yeah....thats why I was rooting for BJ penn against GSP and have been a fan for over 12 years.

Conor haters are just pathetic obsessed divas.

You’re just a retarded GSP hater at heart. I knew there had to be some reason for such blatant crotch hugging of a complete joker.

Floyd had a multi fight contract with Showtime you fucking clueless dork. It's how he amassed most of his fortune.

So much for "Such a big star would never sign a multi fight deal!".

Admit you have no idea what you're talking about, and move along.

 

[VVarhead]

He didn't need the UFC for the Floyd fight

It's time to stop posting.
You have no clue what you are talking about.

It would've been ILLEGAL to fight Floyd without the approval and involvement of the UFC.

 

[Blonde Mousasi]

Your are not champ until you beat the champ. Until then your a paper champ.

Deal will be done IMO to fight in the Fall. Then Khapullout can get face planted in Russia.

It sure won't be Conor, with his shit cardio, shit wrestling and shit clinch.
