PPV) will be closer to $25 million, partly due to the likely insane 2 million+ PPV's it would sell. But that's literally one opponent, two at best, that Conor can make more money with in boxing so the statement that there's "more money in boxing for Conor" is a flawed one. What people really mean by that is "the promoters take less of a cut in boxing". Conor is criminally underpaid in the UFC, to get $13.5 million total for the Diaz 2 fight with it selling 1.6 million PPV's is crazy talk, he should have been getting $25 million.

With Mayweather, it looks like everyone is laughing uncomfortably as their paycheque depends on it, very weird atmosphere. Even when he was with James Cordon and Cordon was joking around with him, Floyd seemed so fake in his laughing response, something very offputting about his personality (besides all the woman bating bit).

But seeing as I've never had to pay for a McG fight, part of me is tempted to throw €25 at his neverending money pot... Damn this hype. I'd pay it to see him proper rock Mayweather though. He losses this fight 999999 out of a million. Ugh I'm a sucker
