While I agree with what you said, Conor is the one that other fighters are trying to replicate with their words and actions leading up to and right after fights. So even though he's not the one who determines how competition happens, he's had a part in how it's currently going at the moment with the entitlement factor that all fighters think they have
You know what I think: the problem are the fans. The fans that tune in for the loud mouth, for the arrogant idiot and so on. It's the mass of stupid people who buy into this type of behaviour that create all this crap. Check Rumble's post fight interview when he KOd Glover: he specifically said "we don't need this crap to deliver amazing KOs", referring to all the ridiculous build up of Diaz-Conor 2.
In the end, it's the mass of idiots that flock around bad behaviour that turn the sport into sh*t. Conor is just a narcissist who is profiting from the abundance of idiocy in the public: other fighter will be forced to imitate.
