There's no doubt McGregor is the biggest draw in combat sports, even more popular than Pac in 2009.

    Pacquiao's Asian fanbase alone is bigger then McGregor's global fanbase.

    My facebook feed was full of people talking about Mcgregor.
    UFC is owning boxing.

    Ward vs Kovalev next week won't do a fraction of what UFC 205 did.

    It's a new world

    It's because UFC has 90% of the best fighters in the world and they are forced to fight each other unlike in boxing where have fighters cherry picking and padding records instead of taking risks. Also because there are many ways to win or lose it causes the fights to get finished in exciting fashion a lot of the time

    If I am Dana White I am doing McGregor vs Woodley in March on Saint Patrick's Day weekend in NY or Boston. Would do huge numbers.

    It's many reasons not just that. We can love both sports. UFC will one be the number 1 combat sport in the world. But whilst boxing is still here we should all cherish it.

    UFC is popular because their fights are brutal and more entertaining than boxing. Thanks largely to VOid, Rungundeaux and WARD boxing has been boring. Although i have seen boring UFC fights.

    It's going to be the number 1 sport in the future for sure. The cauliflower ears fighters will be revered more than boxers in world. I don't mind it's OK.

    Conor wants his share of the company now and I don't blame him. He brings in the numbers and the fans.

    Wouldn't it be great if Golovkin had the same ballz and ambition as McGregor.

    What MaGragor achieved last night is greater than the Triple Ham's whole career. :chuck:

    A **** Mma fight is much worse than a **** boxing fight

    And a good boxing fight is much better than a good Mma fight

    How many countries would Mma be bigger than boxing?

    It certainly isn't in my country NZ

    There's no way they put him in with Woodley. Too much size difference. They wouldn't risk their star getting permanently damaged in a stupid fight like that where he doesn't have any shot at winning.

    I don't think it is that huge of Mismatch and Woodley is one dimensional. It would be huge money for everyone involved.

    Don't you mean Canelo? The guy is who is too scared to fight at 160 and wants to handpick Brit Bums nobody has heard of to fight?

    Not happening. As much as I would love to see it lol. Maybe if the perfect storm of events but not with a big bulky power wrestler like Woodley on top.
