Stupid waste of time other than to get that cash grab... Strip Conor of the title & I'm more okay with it. LW feels non-existant right now. I care about MMA more than boxing...even if an MMA fighter is involved. Now i'm gonna repost my tweet about the fight cause that's all I got to say/need to say about the fight.
Floyd UD
Still. He hasn't been injured & has waited that long. I doubt he'll even fight again after this. He's just holding up the division now.As long as Conor fights at the MSG card (or ASAP after) it will still be only a year.
Also, yes it is a cash grab .... Prize Fighting is famous for that.
The only reason MMA/UFC was not like this earlier was bc there was very little cash to grab
Heck look at Bellator fights with Kimbo/Dada & the old man fights.
This is what Prize Fighting is my man
Still. He hasn't been injured & has waited that long. I doubt he'll even fight again after this. He's just holding up the division now.
& I never said Dada/Kimbo wasn't pathetic either...
1) MODs, can we please move all Floyd/Conor threads except this one, and any sequels, to their own forum. I come on here to read about MMA not see 10 pages of threads with 'Conor' in the title discussing boxing. Please stick to the boxing forum?!
2) As a big fan of CM, this is bittersweet. On the one hand, good on the man for getting the fight - who would've thought when he TKO'd Marcus Brimage he'd end up fighting the best boxer of all time for multi-millions. Also, we'll never see him in MMA again, win or lose: - who in their right mind would go from the biggest fight of all time and 50million quid or whatever, to 2million to fight Tony Ferguson in front of 15k fans? Nobody. Especially not a man who has repeated time and again he is all about getting in, getting rich and getting out.
Conor, you're a star mate and I loved your MMA career and good luck for the future, but here's where it ends in MMA terms
