A few reasons why McGregor's claim of fighting Edgar makes no sense.

Not a fan of him and his litle game of holding up the division, but I truly believe Conor did offer to step in for that fight, he's offerd to do it before against Faber in Ireland when the main event fell out, He's done it with Diaz as well.

If you believe the names you listed actually took a pay cut you don’t understand contracts and cap moves in those sports.
 
So McGregor is looking for big paydays, waiting for the right moment and opponent to stand out and present itself...and that moment is a short notice Frankie Edgar fight?

I mean we all love Frankie, but he's even less of a casual draw than Khabib, Nate or Tony. Not to mention Holloway, who Conor could have jumped in against instead of Aldo should he have been so inclined to save a card.

Conor just wanted to get his name into circulation again and its working.

I don't ignore the numbers. That is why my arguments are very solid. Conor has 10 fights in the UFC, and I proved, with the truth, that half of them was against 3-and-something opponents and short notice opponents.

Of course, you can only beat whoever is front of you. But, how can you be compared with people who have beaten more champions and former champions than half the people you fought?
 
Whats surprising about Conor taking irrelevant fights that he turned down back in the day? He's an opportunist, not a warrior. Risking nothing against the smaller man, all while he has 2 fighter in Ferg and Khabib waiting to fight the real fight... Conor is a pussy for sure.

Where did I say I knew what he was asking for? You are the one clearly suggesting they aren't paying him his worth or accepting his demands without any proof. I am asking you for proof of what he's demanding. Give me some proof.

And my proof is exactly the same as yours that hes the one being unreasonable in what hes ask8ng for
We both agree 50%of overall spilt should go to all the guys on the card and im pretty sure they arent close to that at all

He only does it because he knows the answer from Dana will be no. Convinces his fans that he is a badass when in reality it is just for show.

Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen leaving huge contracts to play in Boston for a ring.

Kobe, Gary Payton, Shaq, and Karl Malone to play together took pay cuts.

Dwayne Wade, Lebron, and Chris Bosh in Miami took less money than they were making before.
