Can we get a :SadDanaWhite: smiley

[krexzen]

If anything Dana is relieved. Conor is about money and MMA money is nowhere near boxing money. If by some miracle Conor had won, then Coner probably would've tried to cash in on another boxing match.

Come to think of it, Dana's probably pissed Floyd ain't knock him out sooner.

Connor is a bigger star than the UFC.
He should definitely raise his pay day or he can go into any venture.

Not exactly, breh. Conor still needs the UFC to continue his relevancy, but he deserves bigger paydays and/or ownership stakes in there while he can still get it. Conor won't be able to sustain this level of superstardom he has right now unless he continues to fight, because he's not going to become a legitimate, successful boxer; there's an OUTSIDE shot of him becoming a Hollywood star but I can't see it. Let's be real here, as a fighter, even when you're at the top, you're two or three straight losses away from being yesterday's news, especially in MMA.

He won, took 50 percent from mcgregor

50? Conner signed to Cash Money Sports?

This how they get down in UFC?

Pic isn't good enough to make a smiley out of. Plus Dana probably eating good off this pay day.

I hope it sinks in that Conor McGregor is known as a hard hitter in MMA....and Floyd walked through his punches all night.

Conor didn't put his weight into 1 punch that entire fight. All arm punches.

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Perfect analogy...Conor is a dealer who got promoted to capo for one night and now hes going back to selling dime bags...

UFC Fighters = weed carriers

Conor = Omar Suarez

How many boxers are clearing 15-20mil a fight? Yall do know he gets a piece of his ppv fights right? He can most definitely make that in ufc.

hes bigger than the UFC but he has nowhere else to go right now,he cant go to boxing,he cant do hollywood right now...he still needs the UFC.

I meant people involved in combat sports.

Damn near every UFC fighter or person in front of a camera the last month said Conor would win....and even some went as far as to say KO.

The fight doesn't happen without their approval

Mcgregor could of sued and used the Ali act to get out of that part of the deal with the UFC under boxing but that possibly would of taken years

They had to.

You could tell the majority of them didn't even believe it, and some people were actively deluding themselves on some "Well, why CAN'T it happen?" type shyt. (I'm looking at you Ariel)

They did believe it,if you didnt truly think Conor could win you wouldnt try and break it down and analyze making urself looking stupid by suggesting his karate stance could be the difference.Unbelievably i heard than more than once from UFC people as a reason Conor could win....

Nah Breh UFC fighters DID believe Conor was going to win,most of these guys are so insecure when talked about against boxing...you hear the insecurity come out in the form of horrible talking points...

They had to say it, if Conor somehow won that might allow others to crossover to boxing

 

[Tony D'Amato]

He can fight Paulie and sell 1mil ppvs and keep the guap. And Al Hayman would promote it

Theres no crossover even if he won....hes seen as a superior UFC striker.most of these guys are wrestlers...

They might sell a million PPVs if its 10 bucks.Problem is he has a contract with the UFC.

Ali act says he can do boxing dolo. He chose to have ufc help promote this for some reason. Maybe cuz it was such a big fight. But he could do the Paulie fight dolo if he wants and the law is on his side. On St Patrick's day too
