Diaz - McGregor: Rubber match or not?

If McGregor wins there will be 3rd, not right away but McGregor will push it to happen.

There won't be a 3rd if Nate wins.
 
If it goes 1-1 there's a rubber match for sure.

That's where the money is so it'd be dumb as fuck not to.
 
Question - Does winning the rematch with McGregor make Nate even bigger, or does a loss to McGregor and potential trilogy series mean bigger business for Nate?
Why talk about this with a fun card in right now?
 
Conor stated more than once he wants a third fight with Diaz if he wins this one. He will probably defend his belt at 145 first though I agree with that.
There won't be a 3rd fight, trust me. Conor's schtick has been taken over. He tried to take everything Diaz worked for.

I don't buy into Nate needing to lose for financial reasons. I think being the man who stopped the sport's biggest star twice in a row will turn Nate into a huge draw independent of Conor. Hell, the first win probably has already gone a long way to doing that.
 
If the fighters are talking about a potential trilogy and the money it might generate for them both then that just smells bad. Would Diaz take a dive for big rubber match money? We shall see.
