If they really gonna do this, then this is still a great offer to McGregor. Like... a fantastic offer. He would be dumb not to take it. Compare his boxing experience and skills with the opportunity he got here and the money he can make. Fighters who are a lot more skilled and accomplished didn't earn this much. idk who was the last fighter before Pac who earned 15m + PPV slice against Maywether.

I'm not that interested in this though... May UD 12-0 or maybe even a May stoppage...

I've never really understood this

Like how his UFC contract can block him from fighting in another sport? If it blocks him from competing in Bellator or any other MMA promotion that would make sense cause it's the same sport, in boxing there are also exclusive contracts but I'd be surprised if the influence of these contracts would be expanded to other sports as well. Two sports are two different worlds with different ruled and etc... I would be surprised for example if Golovkin couldn't just fight an MMA fight if he wills so with his exclusive HBO boxing deal or if Crawford couldn't fight in the MMA if he would want so without involving his boxing promoter, Arum...

That shyt seems illogical to me

The contract probably reads "combat sports" not MMA or boxing.

Edit: I'm of the opinion that UFC is violating the Ali act.

He has excellent conditioning but he ain't beating triple G. I do however think that he should work with Virgil Hill. I feel like Virgil can help his style a ton.

He needs to step up his comp, I think he's coming off a elbow surgery.


And both father and son made a series of provocative claims about the 34-year-old that angered many in the boxing community.

“When you’re speaking of fighters like Gennady Golokvin, these knockout artists that everybody rates and says are the best – in my opinion he’s slow," Eubank Jr said.

“For every one punch he would throw at me, I’m gonna throw five, six, seven punches. I know I have a chin, I know I can take a shot. So if he’s not gonna knock me out, he’s not gonna beat me.”

And his father doubled down on the stunning proclamation in predictably flamboyant fashion. “Golovkin would get wrecked,” Eubank Snr began.

“But the world I live in is crazy, people say I’m crazy. Well of course I am, you have to be. You can’t make world champion if you’re not crazy.

“The sense that I see is that he wrecks Golovkin. He doesn’t have anything on Junior. Nothing. He doesn’t have the speed, he doesn’t have the power, he doesn’t have the DNA.”
