What drives Conor McGregor now?

So you are saying Proper 12 isn't doing well? It's obviously doing well. Most celebs that have liquor does very well. Diddy and Jay Z for example and they target a completely different market. Proper 12 targets everybody so it's more widescale and a cheaper price point and is available in almost every liquor store. You can't compare whiskey vs beer but yes they will be following a similar marketing strategy to Budweiser and other liquor companies for longevity.

You have proof? lol it's gonna bomb or already did...you don't even know how running a manufacturing business works. you need machineries, people, accounting, HR, etc etc...Proper 12 was backed by a liquor manufacturer. Conor doesn't own it. He probably get 50% and put his name on it. but it's a partnership...and if he did invest his money to it. it's tied up with it and he can't spend it easily.

He will still challenge Khabib, and it all depends on total accomplishments. Conor still has done a bit more in total accomplishments and challenged himself more by not being in just one weight class, but being in 3 weight classes and winning a belt in 2 different weight divisions. So depending on what other accomplishments he is able to do with the rest of his career, his overall career can be better than Khabib even though Khabib beat him.

Just like Mayweather and Pacquaio, people feel Pacquaio has the better overall career even though he lost vs Mayweather due to his overall accomplishments. Both PAC and Conor want a rematch.

Do you know Conor's net worth? It's not hard to google, that is a far cry from thinking he is in need of money. Yes the business is the long game, he doesn't need to fight with his liquor business. Last time I checked it was doing very well and is continuing to do so. They wouldn't be spending that much money on advertising if they couldn't afford it or if the company was doing bad. Their advertising is everywhere so they are apparently doing very well to be able to afford all the promo.

Challenged? he never defended any belt. zero defense. ZERO, throw that legacy out the window. Don't even compare Money-pac...to Conor Khabib...one was competitive. one was not.

Agree but is this fight really for the best? It's like 2 mice are going to fight because the Cat is gone...

Happens any time in combat sports when a dominate champ leaves for whatever reason. Frazier winning the belt after Ali was suspended is the most obvious example (although Frazier legitimized himself after beating Ali when he returned). Whoever wins the belt at LW next will be mostly seen as a paper champ. Right or wrong thats what will happen

Which one was competitive lol?

 

[613]

Al lost to Cerrone. Khabib that fought Conor is better than the Khabib that fought Al. He fixed those holes that made that fight that competitive as evident in the Justin Gaethje fight.

If Conor was easy money they would take the fight because it's easy money. They understand the risk and even though it's a high pay day there's a lot of risk involved with fighting Conor.

Maybe Khabib doesn't give a fuck about money. He lives a simple life. Beating Conor again does NOTHING for his legacy. Everyone expects him to beat Conor including Conor. Hell you may be the only person who legit thinks Conor has a chance

What drives Conor McGregor now?

I'd say something expensive

Renting more cars and mansions to live out his Floyd Money life obsession?

Compare Conors performances to Justin and Dustin. Conor did better in it but yes he still ultimately got his ass beat

Depends how you look t it. Dustin landed way better strikes to Khabib and had a good guillotine attempt. Conor won a round were nothing happened

New flash all big business isn't owned by one person. It's always split percentage. You do know how much it cost to have promo on the ring in a major sporting event right? In boxing and in UFC? You always see Proper 12 there on there as one of the main sponsors for every event. Now add that all up. Tell me a company not making profit would be able to spend that kind of money on promo. Their promo easily cost more then what their employees are getting paid a year. So their payroll overall isn't a big deal compared to what they spend on promo.

Of course they pay for manufacturing but it's bulk pricing, that's how they make profit off sales.

What's a harder accomplishment? A few title defense vs contenders or winning a belt in a higher division by beating the defending champion? But don't worry, if Conor wins the belt he'll be defending it this time. He won't be challenging for the welterweight belt unless Masvidal ends up becoming champ.

It's not about money but I think the only people that can make Khabib come out of retirement to fight is GSP and Conor. Everyone is capable of losing, Conor is capable of beating Khabib and Khabib is capable of beating Conor again. They both have ways they can win the fight. It's foolish to think someone can't win a fight in mma when there are so many ways to lose. Khabib showed some holes in his game with the Gathje fight that a lot of people probably didn't notice. But to the people analyzing his game, I'm sure those people noticed it.
