I'm not gonna lie I was more of a conor fan a year ago more then I am now. I hate to say it but the amazing confidence he had in himself has turned to full arrogance. I know some of it is an act but come on, we can tell he has changed. I'm still pulling for him to beat RDA but I would have been more upset if he had lost to aldo then, compared to now, if he loses to RDA. The over the top personality has lessened the allure he once possessed. When his remarks didn't seem pre planned and he wasn't trying to impressive everyone at every given opportunity. I could almost guarantee people close to him have noticed a change in him. He seemed real a year ago. Now everything seems fake or idk either way it has changed my view of him. I guess I enjoyed him more when he was striving for power, instead of now, where he is clearly in power. Maybe he has always been like this but I don't think so.
I also think he really doenst care any more if he loses. He was in this to get rich. So he HAD TO WIN, to get that money. He has millions now, win or lose on March 5th he is making millions. And even if he loses to RDA he'll make millions when he defends his featherweight. And i'm sure a title defense, or rematch if he loses will net him millions more. Either way he doesn't HAVE to win to be set for life any more. And I think that can change a fighter. I hope it doesn't and I hope he really wants to be the GOAT % wrong. But he could be thinking no matter what he has 5 fights left in his career and he'll have 25-30 million dollars and be done, no matter how it ends. In the end I think his fans care if he wins more then he does because He will make millions regardless.
