Official Conor McGregor thread (part 3) *Updated Warning in 1st Post Re:Boxing match
The last thread was nearing the 10k post limit so here's part 4.

The same rules as the last thread apply here. People seem to have strong opinions either way when it comes to McGregor and threads here tend to get a bit heated from time to time. Please keep it civil and discuss all things Conor in a mature way.

Any name-calling, trolling, baiting, or being a general ass-hat will earn you a ban from the thread and possibly the forum.
If you have an issue with a post, please use the report post function.

Any off topic posts will be deleted.
Any "Do you even train Bro?" or "I'm an mma fan longer than you" type posts are not permitted either. They only make you look like a fool and as a result, everyone hates you. Yes everyone.

**Upate with Mayweather vs McGregor announced**

Lads consider this the one and only warning - big fight with a lot of hype around it. It brings new fans to the forum as well as the regulars so try and get along. Any trolling or nonsense and people will find themselves on a break from the forum and that applies to everyone.

Can't wait until McGregor has his ass handed to him.

He will be damaged.

Gob****e to get in a ring with Mayweather. What's new? Disfigured and mutilated face is not worth the money. Then there is the sheer embarrassment.

Mod: Enjoy some time off - no place for this nonsense about any fighter

Conor gets a guaranteed purse of only 30 million dollars.

Floyd gets a guaranteed purse of 100 million dollars.

This is a 77-23 split.

This to me seems like a horrible deal for McGregor especially when he is the A side in terms of promoting the fight and popularity.

Does Conor not have to pay a chunk of money from his guaranteed purse to the UFC?

Conor could be lucky to clear 15 million while Floyd is going to clear 250 million.

The disparity is sickening.

I don't believe Conor can do the impossible and get rematch on more favourable terms.

I don't watch this stuff but just want to get this straight:

This McGregor chap, with no professional boxing experience whatsoever, is going to get in to a ring with one of the world's top boxers and he is suppose to stand a chance!!?

lol

Good luck with that. The guy is going to get his face smashed. No way it's lasting a round.

UFC won't get a cut from his guaranteed purse, they get a slice of the PPV. I'd imagine the PPV cut is more even and if the fight breaks 4m buys he's looking at $100m total even with the UFC cut.

FYI the guaranteed purse for him his bigger than the total amount he's ever made from a UFC fight including PPV buys.

How in any sense is Conor the 'A' side in this?
Lord almighty..

It's promoted by Mayweather promotions.
It's on Showtime.
It's BOXING?!!

49-0
0-0

Mayweather is most certainly the A and rightly so

But but but CONOR!!

Floyd the A side on boxing talent.

But all eyes are on Conor. He is the A side on terms of popularity and he has been the one selling the fight. Floyd against a traditional boxer would not be doing these numbers.

So I guess that my point is that I am surprised that Conor is putting his brand and his health at risk for only 30 million guaranteed.

Ignoring the fact it might even break mayPac on PPV numbers.

Conor in mma doesn't do these numbers..
They need eachother for this to work,
But Floyd is rightly getting more money..

I think Conor can win, but Floyd is the A side..

Hard not get sucked in!

Just to put his purse into perspective. Mayweather received a disclosed $32 million purse when he fought Cotto in 2012. He was 35. McGregor getting a $30mil purse (before PPV points) at his age with a 0-0 record is nothing short of phenomenal and this isnt even taking into account the huge amounts of money he's getting from sponsors. Begrudgers gonna begrudge tho :pac:

Saw this on reddit a while back, funny stuff.

I wouldn't describe it as 'funny'. It was more of an emotional moment for Floyd. If you know the history of his relationship with his dad, you know they have gone through some very rough times. But dispite all that, The love is there.

I'm not begrudging anyone! I just think Conor's guaranteed purse is low. People are rightly saying about his variable income such as sponsorships and PPV points, but that's variable not guaranteed.

Looked a tough cut for Conor he looked alot better at 154.5 for the Alvarez fight. Fairly big difference in weight come fight time.

Because without Conor this fight wouldn't have half the draw.

Floyd vs GGG wouldn't reach what has been achieved here.

Story emerging that Mayweather has fallen and cut himself badly in his hotel bathroom, looks like the fight may be off.

Mayweather's purse was always going to dwarf McGregor's. It's a boxing match after all where one guy is making his debut

What do you mean his PPV points aren't guaranteed? Of course they are. All that remains to be seen is exactly how much this will be worth to him. His PPV points are guaranteed to put at least another €50m on top of that €30m. And if all the talk is correct it will actually net him €70m+ on top.
