Conor McGregor, the Needle Mover vs. UFC, the Bad Promoters

[Meduza]

With a few key-strokes, McGregor lit the MMA world on fire.

McGregor, "I'm retiring young, LOL!!!"

Entire MMA Community "Oh my god, what the fuck!? Honey, did you see McGregor's post!?!?!?!"

Meanwhile at the UFC, they are monitoring social media activity and the needle is just jumping through the roof:

Dana and Lorenzo get together and try to discuss how they gonna deal with this guy:

So you want to be a fucking Promoter!? Tuck your motherfucking pea-sized TRTesticles between your legs and think with your fucking Brain for a minute.

It's this fucking simple:

When a fighter becomes such a huge star that their contract entails getting a percentage of the PPV sales, they no longer have to agree to the same terms as other fighters when it comes to promoting. At that point their NAME alone brings in the sales.


FUCK!!!

Conor played a game and the brass called his bluff. The ball's in Conor's court now.

Why do Conor fan's insist on making the same thread over and over and over? Lorenzo pulled the plug, he isn't fighting on 200 and most people are happy with it. No go back to your corner to cry some more.

I wanted to see the fight though, and pay for it

Go tell Rory, the winner of Fight of the Year 2015, the same thing.



This isn't just about the fans.

So much effort ... so little laughs

Conor needz to start working on his diet watching meals he's gonna need to squeeze his body back down to 145 after July which will be no easy task after spending so long walking around heavy...

I wanted to see Conor get smoked again by Nate but since Conor found a way to duck Nate, he can go blabber on while the rest of the fighters show up on UFC 200.

So because he had the fight of the year he knows what he is talking about? Imagine if he won the fight he would be a presidential candidate.

Don't know why Rory would be complaining if you feel you're worth more don't sign the contract simple. Conor signed his contract all he needed to do was what all fighters do, you do the dog & pony show for the newz, sports, & entertainment media, wish my life was that hard...

 

[ChangeIsComing]

Really too bad Conor and many others that have issues with UFC are in iron clad contracts....would be great to see them move to another organization...fuck the UFC, last few years has been way over the top on the scumbaggery level.

 

[bat_country]

Connor who? The guy Diaz made his bitch? Why are we still talking about him?

I am trying to understand your point of view. I always thought it was weird to see people support billionaires in this argument of millionaires vs billionaires in sports.Whenever there was a strike with player unions and such. Most fighters are not millionaires tho and nor do they have unions to support them. You can relate to the athletes and believe that their life is "easy" compared to your shitty life while the billionaires are behind the cameras and you cant ever dream to be in their position.

As to the argument of just dont sign the contract.Leaving the UFC is a huge blow to their athletic careers, UFC is a monopoly the other organizations cant effectively compete with them. This allows them to take advantage of their fighters.
