They'll probably buy it back for half in a few years too.

From what I've read, UFC is still expected to get 3-4x the 115 million that they got from the previous FOX deal. That deal expires in 2018.

Mayweather Promotions also booked the MGM for the 29th of July.

meh apparently #BP means Bobbi Parka, some clothing store, so it could be a sponsorship announcement or something.

august 26th sounds close, this fight needs months upon months of promotion & several press conferenes etc, only way they will get the #'s they want. If this isn't a promotional circus with the two best shiiit talkers in combat sports then this probably does 2.5m tops, hope they keep that in mind cause i'm anticipating the circus more than the fight itself.

Sure, that & max kellerman hosting face off, but i think they need even more than that. Can't wait for the circus though, the fight game needs Mcgregor, mma been boring without it this year due to all the injuries.

So this is getting retweeted a fair bit on my timeline

Is this dude legit or just trying to jump on McGregors tweet?

Helen Yee confirmed it as well, there's a new video of Mayweather running outside last night, Jeff Mayweather says they could fight anywhere from 147 to 152 pounds.

I would be shocked they fight in August, that is no time to train and promote.

Bellator signed Mike Goldberg and Mauro Ranallo fwiw. Not sure how they work together since both are more play by play guys.

They already confirmed they won't be working together on the mic.

Oh ok, makes sense.

Speaking of Bellator, that PPV next week is a decent card but I really don't know why they want to put on a PPV. It isn't going to make a ton more $ than a free card and the audience will be like 5-10% of what a free card would.

Should just put it on Spike and continue trying to grow the audience. PPV is dying anyway, UFC can't even sell PPV's.

Trying to get into PPV in 2017 seems like buying a chain of blockbusters 15 years ago.

Dana was always full of hot takes, this is nothing compared to the stuff he was saying back in PRIDE glory days

I don't mind it. Jones has 1 fight in the last 2.5 years.

I guess it is MM but not like he beat anyone close to Aldo and he didn't win belts in 2 weight classes either.

I know lol MMAth but Ben Nguyen got Tim Elliott out of there in less than a minute by outclassing him all over the place.

The same Tim Elliott that MM went all 5 with recently. OTOH Conor dispatched Aldo and Alvarez like they were nothing.
