Conor vs Paulie in his return UFC match.
Hahahahahaha
look how scared the fans of the "confident guy" are. Let's pretend Khabib doesn't fight mma anymore, let's pretend Tony doesn't fight mma anymore, so we can get the fop to fight Diaz again, oh who's been so active in the mma scene by the way. HahahahahahahIf I wasn't bored to do it, I'd go back in time and quote all you gullible guys being excited about the likes or Rhonda, Conor and Sage Northcut. So lame.

Lmao. Too real!
In a recent scrum, Dana was asked about whether he expects to have to negotiate a new deal w/ McGregor after this, which could include a stake in the company. Listen to what he says (time stamped).

Dana suddenly magnanimous and a deal maker now that the company is sold lol
That adds a whole new dimension I hadn't even thought of. The historic decision makers have changed. Maybe lots of new options available now
A lot of things on the table now. McGregor Promotions co-promoting his MMA events with Zuffa? Small ownership stake in the company? Zuffa Boxing co-promoting a boxing event with McGregor Promotions, with Conor headlining against someone like Malignaggi in New York?
As far as I'm aware you pay taxes where your residence is, rather than where you make your money. Either way, in Ireland he's looking at 40% too.
It's going to be tough for Conor to take an 80% paycut, when the winner of GGG/Canelo is calling him out.
If the winner of that fight calls out Conor then that's embarrassing.
I think he comes back to MMA for sure.
Interestingly I was watching a video with Amir Khan's thoughts after the fight and he said he should box Paulie next and believes Conor would beat him.I sort of want to see that fight but at the same time I think if Conor just ignores MMA training for another 6 months and focuses only on boxing it wouldn't be good for him. Then if he lost to Paulie he would take a big hit star power wise and would have to return to MMA 100%, but now it would be after focusing solely on boxing for a year. His other skills could diminish/not be quite as sharp upon his return, and if he's facing a wrestler like Khabib, that wouldn't be good.
I just think that he belongs in MMA and can really solidify a legacy as a defending champion if continues to devote himself to that sport. I think he will retire fairly young, but I see him beating most of the top guys at 155. I don't think he should go for the 170 belt at any point, he is just not big enough.

If you had an opportunity to fight a guy not on your skill level, with a bigger than average payday, whom his fans have decided can "hang" with one of boxing's GOATs. Why wouldn't you do it?
I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm saying it's embarrassing.
If Conor did manage to pull off the miracle last night then it would have made sense for Canelo/GGG to call him out.. but now, they would get so much hate for it, because about 80% of the boxing community perceives Conor to be a joke basically. Obviously I don't agree with this - Conor is an elite fighter and unique in ways we never thought we'd see in our sport.. but the crossover between MMA and boxing hardcores is not super high, I'd say it's about 20% who watch all the fights in both sports.
So, calling out Conor after the loss would be a bad look for them - the fight isn't going to get made no matter what and the boxing community would shit all over them for even asking for an 0-1 guy... who just lost to someone in a weight class below the one they are fighting at. So I think it's a lose-lose situation.

For whom?
For the integrity of boxing.
It hurts the integrity of MMA a lot more than it does boxing. That's honestly the elephant in the room that no one's addressing. Last night showcased how low level MMA striking actually is. Another night of Conor making him someone else's ATM just furthers the notion that MMA fighters are just as out of their elements in the individual disciplines of MMA as individual specialists are in MMA. It was Metamoris IV all over again.
Man, your posts are actually sad. Lol, you will never realize it due to a complete lack of self awareness, but anyone who roots so hard for people to fail and seemingly takes immense joy in when it happens is more than likely completely insecure and a failure themselves.Hahahahahaha

Ronda Rousey and Conor McGregor.. what failures they are. According to you, this = failure: Multiple world championship victories, millions of PPVs sold, worldwide fame, and tens of millions of dollars in their bank accounts. Hundreds of millions now in Conor's case with more to come.
You are so right, everyone else is gullible but you hold the key. You totally called that, bro and YES - Conor and Ronda are totally comparable to Sage Northcutt - a guy who has never beaten anyone in the top 15 of his weight class. Conor knocked out a 10 year long undefeated, all time great in 13 seconds and won the championship in two different weight classes.. but he's absolutely comparable to Sage Northcutt.
I can't imagine what leads someone to make these kind of statements, and actually believe them. It's like you live in an alternate universe. Making posts like this would make anyone who actually understands this sport take you for a fool and essentially disregard anything else you say due to what is just a clear lack of understanding and ignorance of what you are watching.
there's different tax rates in the US depending on how many days Conner has been here, I remember Manny Pacquiao had several large parts of his training camps in the Philippines to avoid the higher rate. Not sure if that's been changed since but I don't think it has
Hopefully he thinks he's bigger than the law, doesn't pay a dime, and ends up prison. That would make me happy.
