The article implies that Conor could fight in March or April. "..Since learning the baby is due in May, not March as he originally thought, McGregor said he might not be taking much of a layoff after all..." The UFC didn't make any contact with him, set an "interim" lightweight title for March, and Dana said he is out for 10 months. The UFC are in a game of chicken with Conor. They know he doesn't like sitting around. They are hoping he cracks and asks for a fight, thus continuing on his old contract.

You' are another idiot, fuck me... You realize they aren't giving him shit, he is earning it. He stays and pulls huge numbers and makes the extra money or he goes the company don't have to give him anything and they lose a shit ton and by shit ton i mean he has pulled bigger numbers than the entire ufc roster last year by himself and probably this year also. He is asking for a larger chunk of the money HE is pulling in from the amount of asses he puts on seats. Instead of the 1.6mill+ ppv's and more sponsorship and bigger tv deals and more fans they can have less of everything just go back to 300-500k ppv bracket so they can avoid paying one dude what he is worth.
This has been my thought. Why would he want equity when he's the biggest draw. Once he's done fighting his stock in the company goes down.
you really arent perceptive are you? lol
You are clueless and delusional
Yeah, with a ton of promo and only being on like 10 PPV's before. That was Conor's second PPV and first headliner. Ronda's avg PPV total is like 500k or something. Conor is rocking 1.5M as an avg. I'll be surprised if she breaks the Holm benchmark of 1.1 or whatever....the aura is gone and she doesn;t have a nation rooting for, infact, she has a nation concerned for her. Conor is the first fighter that I know of that has done better numbers after a loss. Could be wrong tho....
Yeah, he has cray options too, doesn't need to ever fight again. Heck, 50M in the bank account or more? He doesn't ever need to even work again, nor would his kids or family. The only reason he too the 205 fight at 3.5M guaranteed (while he wanted 7 originally) was to become 'first ever two weight world champion', increase his bargaining power and demand. He could pull a May even, sit on the sidelines for years and hen he comes back, he will be worth ten times the amount.
