He taps fairly quickly, he doesn't really show much off his back, his three losses are all from grappling and submission, only has 1 submission the rest of his wins are by KO mostly from punches standing, might as well just stay in boxing with his funky style maybe he will confuse people with that wide stance since he doesn't have to worry about low kicks.
If he goes back to MMA he will get beaten by Khabib or Ferguson or another strong grappler with a good submission game and size, for a super massive paycut, even if he loses in his pro boxing debut if he goes the distance and puts up a competitive fight he can still fight an aging boxer like Manny Pacquiao or Miguel Cotto and make an average of 40 million a fight.
I can see Conor staying in boxing, he can fight Shane Mosley make an easy 20 million selling another million buys from casuals, he beats Mosley the casuals will get hyped again, he can then face someone like Timothy Bradley knock him out cold at 154, that fight will sell over 1 million buys, he will make at least 30 million there, then fight the winner of Horn vs Pacquiao rematch, that fight will probably do 2 .7 million buys and Mcgregor could wind up with 50 million plus for that fight if he fights Pacquiao he will probably knock him silly in 3 rounds, and then his final fight should be Canelo Alvarez or GGG whoever wins that fight, that fight will get him another 50 plus million with probably 3 million buy rate.
He won't make anywhere near that in UFC because UFC model doesnt allow the fighter to make that type of money since its a company based investment they do all the promotion and investing not the fighters.
