MCG is just negotiating UFC 200 pay

[yeguiza]

Good strategy, Diaz followed him.

They are showing together that Dana needs them.

Maybe I´m wrong, but money wise it makes sense

I'd wager to bet it's another knee injury.

 

[Deleted member 502383]

I'm disappointed... Really disappointed.

That is all.

 

[SRTtoZ]

He most likely was getting paid big and signed a contract already though right? This is more likely a significant injury.

Could be, but I doubt they would risk losing him over money. They are making enough profit from it to let his ways, he's not going to fight for long.

Or he's going to UFC205 NY.

Since he lost against Diaz, he can't really ask for more money, can he? I doubt that UFC 200 will sell much more than UFC 196 more than the last card and if it do it will have alot to due with it being a much stronger card than UFC 196 with fights like Cain vs Travis Browne, Aldo vs Edgar etc.

Why not ask for more money.

You think RDA-Nate 2 will draw more than 400K?

Conor-Nate 2 does 1.5 or more.

i think the fact that the ppv numbers crushed it is what matters here. win or lose if you can set ppv records, you deserve a raise

i suspect this is a negotiating tactic but maybe its just a joke. the fact that nate was quick to respond with hes retiring also leads me to believe its possibly a negotiation thing since both sides would be knowledgeable of whats going on with contracts etc

could be totally unrelated but nates reaction fits the theory

That seems like a terrible tactic considering the shit storm its causing.

Nope. A dude like Conor has people testing him at all times to make sure he'll pass all USADA tests. They informed him he was gonna fail. If he claims injury or anything else USADA can still test him. The only way he can be outside of USADA's testing is if he " retires " for a short while.

Pretty clear. Nothing else makes sense.

So your saying hes on the juice ?

If he seriously retired I think they would make RDA vs Khabib 2 and make Nate fight he winner of Pettis vs Barboza. But ok, RDA vs Khabib wouldn't make much more than 400 000 either.

I'm just saying, we don't know much about UFCs budgeting, or marginals, at some point McGregor isn't worth it anymore. And I don't think the rematch will make 1,5 million buys at all. The card itself might do it but alot of it will be due to a strong card and not Conor directly.

My guesses for his tweet:

1. He's just kidding around with a possible hint that he will not take too many more fights.
2. He thinks this is some savvy business move.
3. He is just a little f*cked in the head after that loss.
4. He think USADA might got a positive sample.
5. He hurt his knee.

Breake their banks

This has been said in almost every topic in the last 4 hours.

But Dana doesn't need them. The UFC would be just fine if both of them decided to quit. Sure, short term they wouldn't earn as much money, but it's not like they are financially dependent on Conor.

 

[FlyingKimurabar]

I highly doubt this is a negotiating tactic. I think a lot of fans, especially irish fans, would turn on him if he suckered them, lied to them, and used them to get more money. Conor is smart enough to know this.

 

[The guest]

Brilliant. Wasn't this fight just signed in the last few weeks ? I'm pretty sure money would have been discussed. And if it wasn't enough I'm sure Conor wouldn't have signed.

Why would he pull this shit ?

It's not a tactic people. Better brace yourselves if you think this is about money.

This whole charade he's doing now is retarded lol he's a little boy seeking attention or he failed his pecker test
