With all this "money fight" nonsense going on, it makes me wonder what you fellow sherdoggers feel makes a fighter qualified for "money fights."
In my recent memory:
BJ Penn vs St. Pierre- BJ was chasing 2 titles simultaneously. St. Pierre and Penn were already huge draws.
A. Silva vs St. Pierre- 2 dominant champs with relatively opposing styles, frames, and skill sets. #1 & 2 p4p going head to head brought intrigue.
McGregor vs RDA- Mcgregor was trying to do what BJ could not and be a dual title holder.
McGregor vs Diaz- Put together on 10 days notice. Diaz is a cult hero, McGregor was the UFC's golden goose.
Any others you guys can think of, feel free to add. But most important, what qualifies a fighter for a money fight?
