Are u being serious?

U are aware that boxing is bigger world wide?
There is no way Mayweather is as popular in Europe, Asia, South America, and wherever else than Conor McGregor. No fukkin way. Im not even sure he's more popular in America than Conor.

What Im saying is, there's a difference between being known and being popular. Companies are trying to get McGregor to endorse product for a reason.

What was Mayweather's last ppv buy numbers? If he's going to quadruple that, its not becuz he got exciting all of a sudden.

Known, popular.. same thing.

His last ppv buys were low due to low quality opp, a fight no one cared to see.

not exciting?... why do u think Floyd has shattered so many ppv records and continues to do so?

Because he is more infamous than popular. He is fortunate to be in this era where they're no personalities in boxing. More people buy his fights hoping he'll lose than people buy em to see him win. De La Hoya in his era would be ppv king. Floyd was just fortunate to come along where there's so many ways to buy a fight. Its easier now to access ppv. U dont even have to have cable or dish to buy ppv now.

Being known and popular is 2 different things. OJ is known, Steph Curry is popular.

U giving Floyd no credit, a lot of people do buy his fights to see him lose but HE created that.. No one is able to duplicate that cuz they end up losing. Broner was trying to be that but he couldn't.

Floyd does have a personality, u either love it or hate it.

Honestly him and Conor are the same when it comes to there personality, I honestly feel like Conor is trying to be like Floyd and took his blueprint of being that loud mouth bad guy, but with Conor being white he gets loved.

Conor is fighting in this era and his fights are not breaking floyds records,why is that if u say it's so easy in this era. he had to come to Floyd for a big pay day. Theresa reason why Floyd is the A side and it's taking place in the boxing ring.

Your acting like Conor is doing him a favor.

I have never heard Floyd say anything remotely funny.



11min-12min. This dude is like comedian funny.

Ufc is still growing. People are use to buying boxing. I guarantee a McGregor/Diaz 3 does at least 2mil ppv buys.

Conor is fighting in a boxing ring for money, and thats it. Its easier to make money in boxing.

The bolded is why I think Floyd want's 8 oz., he want to break Conor's fukking jaw. Swagger jacking to the nth degree and Floyd ain't here for the bullshyt.



Conor tries to do Floyd. He called Gatti a C+ fighter and he's going to dog him, then did just that.



Floyd gets hated for the same thing that people love Conor for.

Floyd was on his Jadakiss shyt

I run through the industry looking for enemies

Conor ain't built like Floyd, he'll learn in a week.

Obviously I have Floyd winning big, but to play scenarios is Conor winning a bad thing for Dana White? I think so. If Conor won, what incentive would there be to go back to UFC...at least until he started losing back to back boxing matches. He could become a temporary full time boxer, sell a shyt ton of PPV's and exclude or limit the amount White eats off of him, make a lot more money than he would in the UFC.

If he loses vs. Floyd, McGregor would likely want to make a triumphant return to MMA to prove that he still has it vs. opponents of his own discipline.

Just thinking put loud. IMO for many reasons it is actually better for McGregor to lose if I were Dana White.

I've thought about this too, I would THINK he wants him to win the same way he wanted Rhonda to beat holly. His pride.

But I im wrong, he damn well knows he's going to lose. To prove to conor like see u belong to ufc(me).. I'm sure Conor has threaten to leave to boxing.

You know, I've tried to even figure out the incentive for Dana, it isn't money, he got over 300 million from the UFC buyout. I think that this is for legitimacy here. Let's be clear, there was Pride, there is Bellator and other outfits but to the masses UFC = MMA. This is still his baby, he's built this from the ground up. The UFC's problem is that they burn through fighters too quickly. Only a few fighters reigned for any length of time and only a few of those that we really know like GSP, Anderson Silva and Jon Jones, Chuck Lidell as well as Fedor. Ain't nobody trying to watch a PPV with Cub Swanson or Yoel Romero. I think that Dana knows that most people that buy UFC fights are like former No Limit CD buyers, they are just addicted to the brand and have attention spans the size of gnats. They've largely still not evolved from this.

Look at their fights, many people call Floyd fights boring, I think that they are exciting due to the fact that a boxer can show supreme superiority over you for 12 rounds and you can't do nothing about it. I liked watching GSP fight, people complained, said it lay and pray. Well, it's not his fukking fault the other guy can't stop it. If there isn't blood or a KO, it's considered a shytty fight in UFC Power is not a skill, it is an attribute. Look at Tyron's last fight, dude fought against someone that only tried to take it to the ground, that is all Damian Maia did. I can't fault Tyron for his gameplan, but UFC fans said, this is boring, this is boring.

So, for Dana, I think it is legitimacy so that he can stamp his brand of fighting as the dominant brand of fighting out there.
