Why doesn't Conor fight out his UFC contract then take the Paul/ Mayweather/ Pacquaio fights?

All these fights are big money that he'd have, or has already had to, split with the UFC. He could have done these by himself already and kept all the money if fought out his contract. But he just retired for a few years. Why isn't he doing this?
 
Also Logan Paul is 6'2 220 lbs ripped @ 25 years old and has a boxing record. Mayweather is 5'7" 149 lbs and 43 years old. My point is he's not some guy walking off the streets. He's a huge 220 lb guy that actually trains. Mayweather is being way too cocky here by not even taking him seriously.. My gut instinct says he's getting KOd like Serra vs GSP.
 
Because at the end of the day Conor is not some gimmck circle show, hes a real fighter. He only fought Floyd because he truly thought he could beat him, which was foolish ofc, but I do not think Conor is in dire need of money

He still wants to be UFC Champion. He will still box either as UFC Champion or if he doesn't get the belt or gets some losses he can retire from UFC/mma and pursue the boxing super fights only. Of course there will be more hype with him in the boxing fights as a UFC Champion. I think he is trying to go out on top, so right now his goal is the belt.

Seems unlikely. He already had two belts, and without Khabib winning the LW belt again doesn't do much for him I don't think. I think he's trying to reestablish his brand as the killer he was once was, in order to promote fights outside the UFC.
Also, good god Pacquiao would absolutely destroy him, hurt him badly. They should not make that fight.

Lets not forget that pacquiao turns 42 in two days, and has been in a lot of wars. Prime pacquiao does destroy connor, Pacman did have a great 2019, but the longer he stays out the game, same goes for conor, the less likely at the age he is for a mauling, I still think pacman outpoints connor but Conor with some focus is a threat in any fighting sport.

Even old pac murders Conor. He won't play around before putting him away like floyd either. Conor will get hurt and his power is back.

He's 0-1 to another YouTuber...
 
You know Conor respects the hands of "insert name of random youtuber"

Wow when you put it like that, it makes me realise that Logan Paul is actually a tougher opponent than Floyd Mayweather.

Pacqiao's age makes no difference against Conor. He would fuck Conor up badly.
 
Conor doesnt have the same pull w boxing that he does w mma. He would be smart to stick to what hes better at

Of course Floyd is better than Paul, but he's not a god. Any 5'7" 150 lb guy in his mid 40s, even if he's Floyd, treating a 6'2" 220 lb ripped 25 year old that knows basic boxing and trains regularly as a complete joke, is inviting a huge risk of embarrassment. That's the stuff that moments like Mercer vs Sylvia and Aoki vs Nagashima are made out of. If Floyd just sits on the couch drinking beer for 6 months while Logan Paul trains his ass off, Floyd can definitely get knocked out.

Floyd is 5’8 and there’s much more to boxing then muscles. Logan can’t box, he’s going to get worked
 
Because they’d make him fight people that would beat him.

I'm actually the exact same height/ weight as Floyd. No matter how good he is, he has trouble coming to him if he thinks he can just treat a guy that big as a joke. The size/ performance difference between 150 and +6" and 220 lbs is just too much to not take seriously.

I disagree that winning the LW belt without beating Khabib doesn't do much for him. Conor is an egomaniac, and I think flashing that belt around again would mean a lot to him. Not as much as beating Khabib would have meant, but it's still a major accomplishment to hold the belt in arguably the UFC's toughest division.
