Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather (August 26th) - Page 39 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

After McGregor beats Floyd, how can he really do anything other than fighting the Canelo/GGG winner?

If Conor really has only made at best 3 mil for a single fight for the UFC, hopefully there is way where he can simply buy out of the UFC contract for 12 mil for four fights, or whatever the prorated amount would be.

He made between 12-15 for the rematch with Nate.

The 3 was before PPV share.

He will get paid big for UFC fights going forward.

After this Floyd fight he is going to be a bigger star than ever.

That's what I figured too besides Diaz trilogy but his UFC fights probably do 2m+ after this regardless of who the opponent is.

He's just such a megastar. He could be a billionaire when all is said and done.

Is he still a megastar if Floyd destroys him?

Hard to keep talking trash after consecutive losses in two diff sports...

Really good question.

Tough to say how much a Floyd highlight reel KO would damage his brand.

If he can just be half ass respectable/Floyd doesn't want to embarrass him too badly in there then he probably fades that problem though.

And then destroyed Eddie Alvarez for the LW belt.

Likely this match never happens if RDA didn't hurt himself.

RDA really struggled with his last 2 weight cuts at 155. Not sure if he beats Conor that night. If Eddie is KOing him then I'm guessing Conor's left finds a home.

I'd bet against it if we could go back in time.

I've got 5k on Floyd cause I thin it's lolfreemoney but man ..... CONOR is just such a great personality.

I was shocked that they were doing this thing at the Amphitheatre on short notice and sure enough they get a huge crowd.

Would love to see FLOYD go heel when they cross the pond. I mean this is the guy who trolled De La Hoya with his entrance costume, he can play the bad guy.

If Floyd embarrasses him it will hurt his brand for sure, if Conor looks respectable though even if he doesn't win his star rises.

ESPN had a feature on how he almost died from the weight cuts for the Ferguson and Alvarez fights. So I guess he is done fighting at 155 for now.

**** this fight, would rather just have Mayweather and McGregor talk **** to each other for 12 rounds.

The pressers have been great imo.

Lol u if you think there is a greater chance of Mc adjusting to boxing better than Floyd would adjust to 4 ****ing oz gloves. Just gives the boxer with perfect timing an even greater advantage. Jfc.

He punches girls and doesn't pay his taxes . How often do you see him on commercials or promoting during his peak relevancy?

Rda clearly was on stuff, he looked legit like the best fighter ever for like a 4-5 fight stretch & then looked slow & sloppy the last 2-3 fights. Unless he had some serious injury it's 100% he was juiced to the gills.
