Good luck man getting a ticket will be next to impossible I'd say been the first event in new York.

Any idea when tickets will be going on sale? I imagine they'll be extortionate price wise but feck it! Don't even mind if Mc Gregor fights as long as it's a solid card

Tickets out on the 28th for Fight Club.

Same as when a punch is thrown and is missed. The technique was off or their judgement or distance or timing.

Or the wind, or the ground or the bounce.

I'm not saying it was lucky or anything like it. he pretty much flagged what Aldo's undoing was going to be.

But all those variables outside of your control don't always come together to make the perfect storm.

Do you think it will be difficult to get tickets even with the Fight Club presale code?

Haven't bought a COD since Black Ops 1 bit of he had sound bites in the game abs you can throw cans of Monster instead of grenades, then it's an insta purchase from me.

Also, it's sad how a war game can make a more realistic looking Conor than the actual UFC game.

That wargame probably has a budget of 200 Million and better mo-cap equipment and software than any Hollywood studio

EA Sports developed the UFC game. They're hardly impoverished amateurs.

Just like not every movie from the same studio has the same budget, not every game from the same studio has the same budget.

FPS games like COD/Battle field and sports sims like FIFA/NBA Live would have budgets that are multiples of titles like UFC 2 and several times more staff working on them, they have a far bigger playerbase and generate infinitely more money for the company.


That picture above isn't an in game image anyway, he won't look like that when you're playing.

Is McGregor actually going to feature in a playable part of the game?? I figured we'd just see him in the cut sequences between levels.

That's true, but they didn't make their fortune spending millions on games that'll bring in thousands.

Never thought I'd see the day Conor McGregor and Jon Snow are in the same videogame, and a shooter at that. :pac:

Cant see it myself. Dont remember ever playing a COD multiplayer game as a specific ''character'' or ''persona''.

Seems to me he is appearing in a sort of guest star role, similar to Kevin Spacey.

But EA got a lot of fighters spot on. I have a feeling Conor never bothered showing up for the face/body scan like other fighters did. Coitus be completely wrong but it would make sense if he didn't. They have to get their cover star right but i remember a few backhand remarks from him about EA giving the cover to winner of him vs Aldo. Id say he was pissed off he wasn't being offered it straight up after what happened to Ronda.

Anyway, yeah, contractually he had to be in the UFC game so wouldn't have been too much money where as Activision arrived to his door with a truckload of cash.

Love it so much ya said it twice

Not a prayer on earth this is announced tonight on a tiny UFC card. The fight will be announced by Dana White on ESPN next week. Both lads are in camp already. Conor was rolling with Richie Smullen and grappling already this week. Eddie is in camp. It's going down....just when Dana agrees the money.

I've a feeling the problem is on Eddies end. He'll be looking for Nate Diaz money (2 million disclosed and PPV points) and the UFC are probably saying 'stall the ball here you're not Nate Diaz and without Conor you don't draw'.

So i think it'll be a case of Eddie coming down to accepting 750k disclosed, 1 million tops, plus some PPV points.

Thats what I thought too, But it is on FS1 and you'd imagine their sick of big announcements going to ESPN.

I'd say there's as much chance of them announcing it during a NFL game then tonight.

If it's a money thing, Eddie deserves at least $1million+ PPV points, he's the champion, he has the belt, Conor is the one looking for the easy route to a shot at a belt in a division he's never even fought in. Why should Eddie facilitate that without getting compensated fairly.

Whoever wins between Eddie and Conor is on a hiding to nothing anyway, Khabib will just ragdoll them.

Well that's your opinion, i think Conor and Eddie can both KO Khabib. But that's another debate.

I've no problem with Eddie getting $1mil + PPV points. I've no problem with him getting $2 mil. Not my money!

Conor and the UFC hold all the leverage, Eddie has very little. If i were him, i'd take $1 million + PPV points in a heartbeat because the alternative is 300 or 400 grand, no PPV points and a Ferguson/RDA/Khabib match-up.

Eddie has the belt, Conor wants the belt. Dana will say he'll make Conor fight Aldo but we all know at this stage Conor will get the title shot because Dana cares more about the show than he does about the sport, otherwise there wouldn't even be talk of Conor getting an instant title shot, he'd have a mandatory defence of his title is Dana wasn't playing Vince McMahon lite.

Paully D

The thought of Eddie Alvarez getting $1m+ and a cut of PPV's. :pac:

He's overpaid on his current $150,000 to show with no win bonus deal.

yeah but im saying from eddies pov hes playing a dangerous game, they can just as easily put aldo-mcgregor on 205 and it'll be a massive fight still, reckon eddie does numbers on his own? belt or no belt he doesnt hit 200 on ppv unless the card is stacked
