    On the topic of dicks getting attention, I read the Pauli Mallignaggi training fight is coming to Netflix in a 3 part documentary presumably by end of the year after production wrapped up in July. Some stories coming out from people who were there saying it went exactly as McGregor tells it has me believing they are reviving the story to create some hype before the Netflix release.

    :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Diego Sanchez? Haha.. Worse than the Cowboy fight. I'm almost certain he said he was ready to hop in as a replacement for the Tony Khabib fight.. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

    Do you think there's any chance that they don't want to give him a big name until the fans are back in?

    Hmmm, wonder if he's trying to establish cause for a "free me to box w/out Zuffa-UFC" clause/release argument? ie showing intent to fight named fighters etc? Going full on Dana like that usually doesn't end terribly well or bode well for future relationship with UFC

    Maybe
    But Dana mentioned recently he'd announce something big for boxing soon and also something for conor too. Could be conor drumming up some publicity too. Either way, a manny fight would make huge dough even without fans in attendance. And maybe there could be fans in the middle east..

    The exchange was from Feb. He wanted to fight sooner than July. But I think the events of Feb to July we’re pretty unforeseen

    Surely more McGregor fights are better for the UFC. Just because he fights once without fans doesn't exclude him from fighting again when the fans are allowed back in.

    Circus act at this stage. Either do a fight or stop talking about it on twitter.

    From those messages it looks like he is trying his best to fight but the UFC are holding out on him.

    Let him fight Pacquio for all I care. Atleast he's not a champion this time so he isn't holding up any divisions.

    Can't see anyone really caring if he fights Manny. There was a lot of excitement around the Mayweather fight. Just can't see the appetite for another foray into boxing. Although there's a 99% chance he's just talking ****e on Twitter as usual.

    Hasn't Dana said that this is the case, or at least said it in a roundabout way...

    I know Frank Warren has said Fury won't be fighting Joshua until crowds are left back in as they'd be leaving too much money on the table.

    Manny licking his lips at the chance to make big bucks in a walk in the park circus fight...

    And you can bet, he won’t take ten rds and look ridiculously awkward and sloppy, like Floyd did. If Manny is in a hurry, be over in 1 round.

    Imagine only ever having 2 professional boxing bouts in your career and they are against Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao!!

    It's silly saying nobody will care. I buy every ufc ppv, but i wouldn't pay for Manny vs McGregor. I'd still be interested in what happens. I'm not a big enough fan of boxing to pay for one fight. No way it does Mayweather numbers or anything though.
    Dana's pissed about him sharing the messages. I thought sharing Dana's answer to the Diego suggestion was classless. If he left that out, the rest was fine.

    Can’t see that much appetite in this part of the world for the fight, surely less than 50% of the PPVs that the Mayweather one sold. McGregor’s trash talk won’t sell the fight to anything like the extent it did then.
    He’s making a fool of himself, why bother when you have ur money made.
