My response was that whether or not it would be a good career move is a moot point because there is no way he will pull and I gave the reasons why. That is all.

It is this mentality that separates him from the pack to be fair. 2) Look at how many Irish people (including myself) are heading over for the fight - there is no way he will let down the fans by pulling out. 3) He stands to earn a lot of money for this fight, even if the PPV buys are down, what he will earn for this fight is substantially more than most people will earn in our entire lifetime of working (if reports on what he has earned previously are to be believed)!!! 4) If he pulls, the UFC stand to lose a bus load of money - the card is far from being the best card UFC have ever put together and McGregor is the big draw. Without him, the card is nothing.

But for him personally he would be better just pulling out,no matter who he fights they will use the short notice excuse and nearly every one of the people mentioned is super dangerous there just isn't enough upside for me to make any of the fights with any of the names being bandied about. But like someone mentioned it looks like he is going ahead and fighting,Pettis and Cowboy seem to be the frontrunners at the minute both very dangerous fights.
