In PPV draws as well I would say so too. Canelo's Mayweather fight has the most draws between all 3. Plus boxing doesn't structure their card like UFC. Conor has the benefit of being on some good cards. At least Ronda did Australia.
I had Conor winning, the first round was how I expected the fight to be, but I thought Conor was made of sterner stuff, he can't it tough it out during a rough patch
Who barely have any fights, that's what I say when mma is a flash in the pan business model
Holly Holm V.s. Ronda 2 was the only fight that was gonna be big, but now that's over with because Meisha tate beat holm so the interest won't be the same
Conor blew his load hyping this last one, the problem is, you can't lose when you take it to that level, his stock took a tremendous blow
unless Nate Diaz fights Robbie Lawler, there isn't any other match up that can possible draw interest other than a rematch with conor

You think he lacks heart?
He's just not that tough, he can't take any punishment, I didn't think he'd be that frail bodied

Ok I hear that but again do you think he lacks heart?
based on what happened I would have to say yes, he quit when shyt got tough

He tried to avoid Diaz's hands by diving for a takedown. I think in his dizziness he must've forgot Diaz is a OG black belt.
Does he lack heart? He doesn't lack all heart, but under fire he withered. He didn't have as much heart as I thought.
It makes me feel like he doesn't love to fight. He loves to show. He's a good fighter and a great talker. But he doesn't have the Wanderlei, Diaz bros., Anderson, Benson, Frankie Edgar, Jon Jones, Gustafsson, Dan Henderson, etc mentality where they're willing bite down and fight their way out of a situation.
Even Rashad Evans took that shyt like a man vs. Lyoto.
He def folded under pressure. He couldn't get that KO he was looking for, got put boxed and pretty much dove right into the L. He's a front runner for sure. Kinda like Vitor Belfort....mentally giving up if things don't go as planned.
He's a skilled combat athlete, but not a warrior. Him, and a whole lotta these fighters today couldn't have been able to gut out ten min first rounds in pride, especially with the brutal ruleset

Yeahh that's what it is. Breh is a good athlete but he doesn't have that warrior attitude. I hate using this term and I know it's ultra fukking cheesy but he doesn't have the just bleed gene
like many aggressive fighters who fall back when they realize they can't have their way
I wonder if he's gonna drop back down to 155 or still challenge for the 155 belt. Or what if Barao moves to 145 and fights him
then if McGregor wins he fights aldo who's moved up to 155
I think he'll go back to 145 but eventually move up as that cut starts becoming too difficult. Nate will probably have scared him away from 155 for the time beingYeahh that's what it is.
