Essential The Official MMA Thread

[The Infamous]

Why

Like others have said, too many egos involved. The UFC/WME will of course want their big piece of the pie, they could easily ask for a bigger share than Floyd.

I just think that too many pieces have to fall perfectly into place for this fight to happen. Just my thoughts.

 

[LinusCaldwell]

Idk about them easily pricing themselves above Floyd that's a hard buy because they are in the entertainment/MMA world not boxing and Floyd + Haymon wouldn't let that happen.

Conor is going to get paid I would say $10-15mill for this fight while Floyd $100mill. That's without endorsements/PPV buys. Biggest payday Conor will see in 1 fight ever and he's not in it to fight very long. Conor probably has several fights max he wants to get in and get out. We probably have 2 more years for Conor in the sport I know he wants out by 30 and I feel he's not gonna stay around if he loses a couple of fights.

If it happens it's going to be sept or may of next year. I feel sept works

And that's where I see this fight falling apart. I don't see either side budging.

Conor is definitely going to want a bigger share.

Romero would've man-handled Silva, good thing it didn't happen. I don't see Anderson beating Gastelum either.




Great match-up, guaranteed fireworks

Mark Hunt slept with someone's wife...ok, he can win but getting Lewis after Overeem is BRUTAL.

 

[aceboon]

Hunt fighting just a few months after that faceplant KO is ridiculous, dude's brain is gonna be a mess in his later years

Everyone is someones wife

 

[LinusCaldwell]

I think they are feeding Hunt fights to keep his mouth shut.

 

[aceboon]

I just watched a replay of the Duffy fight, don't get the griping, he beat the shyt outta dude for 3 rounds and that guy has never been finished in his entire career. I hope he re-signs but if not oh well, I'll still watch where ever he goes, cleanest and smoothest boxing I've seen in MMA.

Especially after the Brock Lesnar thing

I actually think Lewis is a great opponent for Hunt.

Lewis isn't a technical striker and he likes to stand & bang. If he fights Hunt the way he fought Travis Browne he's going to get lit up.

It's going to be wired shut if they keep on putting him in these deathmatches.

I think they are feeding Hunt fights to keep his mouth shut.

Making it in New Zealand is really currying favour, he's gone mad quiet about the lawsuit too so something is up

Damn

This.

Lewis is the highest ranked fighter Hunt matches up well with.
