Ido was right in what he said, people who think Conor has nothing to lose don't know what they're talking about. It'll be a crushing defeat for him if he loses because he *genuinely* believes he's got the tools to stop Floyd. The focus on the money is understandable but the $100 million will change very little for Conor. He's already rich beyond most of our wildest dreams, getting even richer won't change his life very much. A crushing defeat would be hard to overcome, so he's taking a big risk putting himself out there to potentially be humiliated.

Mcgregir doesn't care if he wins ir loses all he want is money In fact he is turning into a caricature of mayweather Why would he care if mayweather beats him If he cared about legacy he would fight a live boxer Not an old retired 40 year old

.ak wrote: » That defeat absolutely ate him, most fighters would've forgotten about fighting Diaz at 170 again... I think Ido was spot on with what he says, McGregor will be devastated if he loses this. The money is just the business side of things, and whilst Conor is good at that part he seems to keep the two things separate once he steps into a ring to compete. He won't be thinking 'Ah its grand, I got me 100 mill' when he's eating counter punches from Floyd.... He'll be thinking how he's going to batter yer man.
.ak wrote: » All of that is fair enough, but I think you're forgetting just how obsessive/competitive McGregor is. IF he loses it's because another human being beat him at something. The other stuff won't register. It will consume him and he'll want a rematch at some stage.

At the height of Conor's fame in the UFC, post-Aldo, he turned down dozens of movie offers. At the time of those offers, Conor was getting paid $500,000 + PPV points for the Aldo fight. He probably cleared around $3 million for the Aldo contest. If he wanted to, I'm certain in my mind he could have walked away from the sport and made $20 million in Hollywood popping up in all sorts of movie roles throwing flashy capoeira kicks and delivering bad lines. Basically the Irish Jean Claude van Damme. We're viewing Conor's career with the benefit of hindsight. We KNOW he challenged RDA, we know he pulled out, we know he lost to Nate, returned to beat Nate, and outclassed Eddie. We know he has gone from earning $3 million a fight to around $12 million a fight. Look at Ronda. All it takes is 2 devastating defeats back-to-back and all those movie offers go away. That lead role in Road House? Gonzo. Cameos in huge Hollywood films? Gonzo. Conor passed up earning a lot more money in Hollywood, safe money that doesn't involve being kicked in the face, and instead he knuckled down in the gym. He took the RDA fight and, ultimately, the Alvarez fight because he wanted to be the first to simultaneously hold belts in 2-weight-classes. He eyed up the Woodley fight because he wants to be the first to be a 3-weight-world-champion in the UFC. People focus on the money but he has consistently turned down easy money to chase harder athletic challenges. RDA was no joke. Rematching Nate at 170 was no joke. Eddie Alvarez is no joke. Fighting Floyd Mayweather in a boxing ring is no joke. There comes a point in rich peoples lives where the money ceases to matter as much as you think it does. $100 million changes nothing in Conor's life, he can already buy any car, watch, house, boat, plane he wants. His family want for nothing. He's fighting Floyd because he believes he's the best fighter in the world. He's fighting him because he wants to go down as a legend of combat sports. Conor is a prize-fighter but the key word is fighter.
