Rumored Insider claims Conor/ Chandler already "booked", will counter Frank/ Fury

[Poatan Power]

lol Power Slap got more viewers than TUF 31. Even if the fight is finally made, which I doubt...Conor is DONE.

Conor's done when he wants to be done. The dude is a PPV gold mine.

Tyson has sold far more PPVs over the last 2 years than Conor.

Conor is old news and his TUF ratings suck.

What? Fury isn't even breaking 1,000,000 buys as the best heavyweight boxer in the world. Conor will do that fighting...anyone.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Yes!!!! Please believe!!

 

[Bobby Boulders]

It means if they can get something for $50 then they ain't paying $100.

Right. Lineal champ vs lineal champ, as it's already being marketed, isn't the $50 bill, bud.

 

[Jawth]

Both are shitty fights as far as PPV headliners.

Conor and his one win in seven years vs. second best guy from Bellator.

And a squash match where Ngganou will get toyed with and make MMA look like crap.

 

[R3D DEV1L]

Lol at trying to counter Ngannou vs Fury with washed up ass Con Man and Chandler who's lost in the UFC 3x now.

 

[The Big Babou]

He works combat sports media in Vegas, very close w/ Ngannou's reps



Will Conor vs Chandler go over Fury vs Francis?

I'm relieved to read this... thought that Francis was representing himself. It's nice to know he has professionals working with him.

Couldn't give a rat's rectum about Conor tho

 

[Simple Southerner]

What a circus mma & boxing.

That's TUF. Not one of his fights.

Or anything else. His interviews get millions within a week lol.

No fight he's ever had has flopped. The fight, whatever fight - will be huge. Whenever it is, and whoever it's against.

 

[Mr. Super Necessary]

I actually don’t think Conor/Chandler will sell as much as most seem to think. Like I think 1 million buys is a fantasy. Conor’s shine is heavily diminished after being destroyed twice in a row in recent memory.

That said, Fury/Francis is probably gonna do like 200k buys max and also lose a ton of money.

His shine isn't diminished like you think. He's like mike tyson - can lose 100 times, it doesn't matter... he's a spectacle and people will always watch. No matter what they say.

1 mil is nowhere near a fantasy.

1.5 is realistic.

The pink goof would LOVE to do this, but Conor is not nearly reliable enough at this point.

Put your money on the GIGANTIC comeback fight Diego Sanchez vs Cowboy Cerrone.

 

[Deleted member 110072]

Jones/Stipe is a couple of weeks latter, the UFC rarely put on two big PPV's that close together as they'd be leaving a lot of money on the table.

I don't really see the logic to it either besides simply being vindictive, when they countered previously it was rival MMA orgs looking to build market share but this is just an ex UFC guy having a boxing match he will likely loose.

DO NOT EVER use this guy as a source! Hes had SO MANY conspiracy theories that of course NEVER come to fruition. He is a super douche. Insider my ass, more like a dildo that tries to make content every day thus he makes up "theories" on the regular. I for reals HATE this guy.

DO BETTER OP

And a squash match where Ngganou will get toyed with and make MMA look like crap.

MMA already looks like crap since the HW champ on its premiere promotion has to chase boxers in order to get payed decently. The result inside the ring is irrelevant.

 

[Willie]

lol Jesse on Fire is such a douche, click bait is all he does. I am very surprised to know he's a friend of Molly Whoopery, apparently.

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

Big PPV numbers are not driving by hardcore fans...they are driven by interest extending to the broader public. If this is marketed and priced properly, it should do very well.

Fury is not big outside of boxing fans , ngannou minimal fans in MMA, look at Jake Paul. After his first match interest dropped each fight. People are getting tired of these

 

[m249viking]

Right. Lineal champ vs lineal champ, as it's already being marketed, isn't the $50 bill, bud.

It's an exhibition match....its the $50

 

[PavlovsCat]

If Dana thinks this fight will counter and beat Fury-Francis he will be severely disappointed. Conor is a shell of his former self who honestly is not that great of a fighter. He can drum up hype with his antics but his skills aren't that great. A fluke shot against Aldo, a win over short-notice Mendes, a win over way past prime Cerrone, and a decision (that he actually lost) in a rematch vs Diaz. Conor has a puncher's chance. Great fighters have more than a puncher's chance. If Dana was smart he would feed Conor to the up-and-comers and build new stars while Conor's is flaming out fast. Plus Conor hasn't been in the testing pool.

lol Jesse on Fire is such a douche, click bait is all he does. I am very surprised to know he's a friend of Molly Whoopery, apparently.

And such a stupid name too.

 

[BigGucci]

Wow this will be a good night of fights, I'll buy frank/fury and stream mcgregor/chandler at the same time!

 

[Coconutwater]

This is true.


Not to mention the boxing fanbase is more educated than the MMA fanbase, a lot of them are not going to buy that glorified exhibition match and Francis isn’t anywhere near as big of a name as Conor to carry casual MMA viewers to buy.

It might however attract a bunch of people willing to see how many rounds it takes for Fury to KO Francis. That said, yes, it won’t attract the same amount of interest because boxing fans know it’s a circus match between a pro and a wannabe.
