The UFC is going to show Mcgregor who really runs things and strip his belt.

Regarding his UFC career, he lived fast, he died young, and it's a shame about his face, because he's supposed to leave a good looking corpse.

Dude got way too big headed and as much of a draw as he is the UFC won't risk losing control of the rest of the fighters and will make an example of him. They will strip his belt and crush him just to prove who is boss.

Wow you must be 15
 
No fighter is above the company, period.

Regardless if this rumors of him retiring are true or not, it'll always be that way.

As for him trying to set a precedent... If he threats to go to Bellator, we all saw what happened when Randy tried to fight Fedor outside the UFC.

Dude, I just told you how obvious it is that you are overestimating how valuable Conor is to the UFC. If four fighters can match what Conor can bring in for less cost than Conor is taking then it makes sense. There will always be other stars and I'm pretty sure Conor is your boy, you've got that Braveheart pic as your icon and although Scotland is different from Ireland, they aren't that different.

It isn't braveheart it's game of thrones you idiot, stop acting like you know everything when you clearly don't. Ronda won't be around until November, nobody else can draw more than 500k apart from maybe Jones vs. DC II.
 
Anderson did show up, lost to Bisping. Only fights left for Anderson that the fans want to see is Anderson vs Vitor or Anderson vs GSP.

How will they lose more money than Conor. They will plug someone into Conor's spot and lose 500-600k PPV buys. So if that's for every fight Conor would have been in, the UFC loses a little over 1/3 of their perspective earnings for those shows, Conor loses 100%.

Ok, i'll explain it.

If Conor makes the UFC for example $100m a year, then without him they will lose $100m a year.
Conor himself will lose whatever his fight purse's for that year would be lets say roughly $25-30m.

Therefore the UFC will lose considerably more money than Conor.

Conor already has enough money to enjoy the rest of his life without any worries, so yes he will lose out but he doesn't need the UFC.

No. That was McGregor.

Tate and Holm are not pulling 300k unique buyers. Diaz isn't a secret PPV draw.

Why can't he have what he wants?

300k PPV buys 3 times a year isn't worth compromising a successful business plan. I laid it out in another post but the gist of it is that if you can pay another fighter 1.8 million less than Conor and still get around 300k less PPV buys then paying Conor doesn't even make sense, if you couple that with the fact Conor is trying to re-write your business philosophy then you're definitely not going to do business with him and he can't seek employment elsewhere.

To figure out "what Conor makes them" is a very complicated process and it's not close to one hundred million dollars. If the PPV makes 25 million you don't say Conor made the UFC 25 million dollars. There were other fighters there that would have sold PPV buys and seats themselves. Your explanation was simple but it was incredibly inaccurate.

He's pulling well over 300k. I meant 300k aren't going to be tuning in to see Tate who weren't watching anyway.

I also just realised that McGregor's teammate was just in a fight with a guy who died soon after; and McGregor has in the past mentioned that he almost retired after seeing one of his friends have problwms due to severe head trauma.

I wonder if maybe that's got something to do with it.
 
Dana will now fix any contract issues with Gsp and give him whatever he wants to return

Rise of the king
Gsp bless

Ah, another sherdog economist.

When will people learn that celebrities with Conor's level of fame barely even pay for most of the luxuries they have in life, a tweet here, an appearance their covers most of it and even when they do, they can usually afford to pay for it on interest alone.

Yep, just ask Mike Tyson.
 
If they do that, Conor is the real champion and people won't forget that. There's a lot of Conor hate right now just like there was for Jones but give it a year from now, people will miss him and call whomever has the belt the paper champion.

People have been calling Conor the paper champ since before he retired. Everyone knows he loses to Edgar.
