Conor McGregor can indeed legally book a Boxing match without Zuffas permission (proof inside)

[TheRassler]

Book Conor vs Nate in Boxing!!!

winner gets Floyd Mayweather and 30M+ payday.

 

[donfryeismyhero]

that looks interesting and I'm going to read it later. But as another solution, is there anything to stop McGregor retiring from mma, having a boxing match, then re-entering mma?

I think that's what Lesnar did with pro wrestling minus the return to mma so that could be possible I guess.

 

[b34stmode]

I'm baffled by the fact people actually want to see this in the first place.

Furthermore, if the contract is illegal does any hearing on it have to take place in Nevada as required by the (possibly illegal) contract? If not, then not only can another state preside over the dispute, but that state's laws can also come into play.

A finding by a court that a single term in a contract does not serve to render the entire contract invalid, unless that illegal term is so integral and essential to the contract that there's basically nothing left to enforce


I'm sure the UFC has choice of law/choice of venue clauses that are perfectly legal. Most likely, the dispute would be sent to arbitration. However, if and when the suit or its appeal come before state court, Conor would be able to remove it to federal court

Then Money May would make him look like a fool. He would lose validity as a fighter, after he already did by Nate. Many casuals would get off his nuts and his star wouldn't shine so bright. UFC would drop him, or not give him fights and he would end up being the real loser in the situation.

Why would he lose his validity as a fighter you noob, lol. Cause he lost to arguably the best boxer ever? Yea that makes sense. This might be the dumbest most butt hurt post I ever read.

Tons of Conor fans are bandwagon'ers that are just on his nuts as much as you because of his mystic ora and how he always wins. Those "noob" fans are on his nuts because of his star power. Most of those "noobs" aren't even MMA fans. Those "noob" fans are why he sells a million pay per's.They see him as a "fighter" and him talking the shit he would talk to Money then getting his arse served wouldn't see him the same way anymore. Yeah nut huggers like you would cup his nuts ever so gently regardless, but not everybody that is a "Conor" fan is ride or die. Get his life like penis cloned dong out your butt.

3.5 During the Term, ZUFFA shall have the exclusive right to promote all of Fighter's bouts and Fighter shall not participate in or render his services as a professional fighter or in any other capacity to any other mixed martial art, martial art, boxing, professional wrestling, or any other fighting competition or exhibition, except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement.

Step 1 would be for Conor McGregor to attain a boxing license, preferably in New York or California.


Step 2 would be for Mayweather and McGregor to book a match against each other. Again it was suggested that New York or California would be the preferable location.

As soon as it was announced that Mayweather vs McGregor was booked the UFC would likely file an injunction, claiming a breach of contract, with a court in Nevada. As all UFC contracts stipulate that all such disputes are to be settled in Nevada this is pretty much a given. But before they can do that it's recommended that McGregor move on to

Step 3 and immediately file for declaratory relief against the UFC citing the Muhammad Ali Reform Boxing Act's provision against coercive contracts to make the claim that the restrictive provision in the UFC's contract is restraining McGregor from boxing and that he is a licensed boxer under an applicable boxing commission falling under the jurisdiction of the ABC.

This might sound absurd, but remember as a licensed boxer McGregor would now (theoretically) be covered by the Ali Act. Sec. 10 of the Act offers protection from coercive provisions, and a provision that prevents someone from boxing at all could possibly be interpreted as a restraint of trade. This is reinforced by the fact that the promoter has a provision in their own contracts claiming exclusive rights over any "mixed martial art, martial art, boxing, professional wrestling, or any other fighting competition or exhibition" the fighter engages in. This would seem to make the UFC a promoter of all combat sports, including boxing. In which case, the contract would be illegal (or at least illegal in part) under existing Federal law.

Furthermore, if the contract is illegal does any hearing on it have to take place in Nevada as required by the (possibly illegal) contract? If not, then not only can another state preside over the dispute, but that state's laws can also come into play.

New York §208.17 has the following restrictions on contracts between a boxer and a promoter:

(a) No contract between a promoter and a boxer entered into on or after the effective date of this regulation shall be for a fixed term of more than three years, excluding any time that a boxer is unable to compete due to injury or other cause.

(b) No contract between a promoter and a boxer shall contain a provision permitting the contract to be automatically renewed or extended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such contracts may contain a provision granting the promoter an option to renew for a period not to exceed one year, excluding any time that a boxer is unable to compete due to injury or other cause. Such contracts may not contain more than two such options.

(c) In the event that a boxer's execution of an agreement with ...................

That's not how it works.

You cut a corner here. Can you develop a little more please.

didn't Nate outbox this IRA reject bum? floyd should be boxing nate

UFC would be obligated to offer him a fight every so often or else they would be breaching their contractual obligation and would get into even bigger shit because Connor could then sue them and seek financial relief without even having to fight.

 

[LukeSkyRutten]

And why do you want this to happen again?

Because the UFC needs to have a loss every now and then to remind them that they aren't God.

 

[BamaBoy91]

Here we go

 

[Bilbo Gaggins]

So, this act doesnt apply to MMA fighters normally?

He'd earn more in 1 boxing fight than these MMA dudes would earn in their entire careers, and then some....

More like he'll be a WINNER in this situation, while all of these other UFC fighters gets f'd over by Dana and the Lorenzo brothers by risking permanent brain damage to get paid chump change.

Mayweather's simply taking advantage of this UFC bum-ass pay situation. Win-win for both Connor and Mayweather.

These type of things happen when you pay your fighters like shyt.

 

[Takamine86]

Anderson was supposed to be setting up a Boxing match with Roy Jones Jr. before his loss to Weidman. So I believe.

 

[KOByFootStomp]

What athletic commission will sanction a bout between arguably the greatest boxer of all time against someone with no professional boxing experience whatsoever? This fight would be about as competitive as a professional soccer team playing the Super Bowl champs in an NFL football game. I would still watch for the laughs though, I can't imagine how lopsided the betting line would be.
