Floyd, anyone saying anything different is lying to themselves and truly is just a "hater". The dude just lost, not including his guarantees have never been more than 3 maybe 4 million. He should be excited for 15 million with PPV upside. Especially since Floyd would just wire him his cut up front, outside of the PPV. Anyone who nows boxing knows hes barely got a punchers chance. Also it doesnt hurt Mcgregors image because he was "man enough" to go to boxing and tangle with the "TBE". He could then challenge Floyd to come to MMA and every intelligent person knows hes not going to go to MMA. But there arent alot of us out there so idiot casuals would eat it up. Conor comes off looking good, then defend his UFC belt against so high profile chump and BAM retire off into the sunset.
The man coming out of retirement that has already earned way more in his career. Conor is currently active in combat sports and makes less but is very popular. If the fight does get made, it shouldn't be an official match.
Floyd in the first, Connor in the rematch when Mayweather is attempting to avenge his defeat as Conor will demand VADA testing and the wheels come off for Floyd.
There is always one that is unable to grasp the intended meaning of a thread. I suggest you try reading the thread again. I never implied that Manny was the draw. Floyd has a negative attraction factor going for him in any fight. People gave Manny a very good chance of winning that fight. It was obviously the combination of both fighters (as it will be for the Mcgregor fight), that generated record breaking revenues.
Has to be 60-40 Floyd if it does. He drew 300K vs Berto. If the McGregor fight does 3+ mil then it's not logical to think their guarantees would be so far apart
Im not really clued up on MMA. Are the PPV number just for CMC, or are they because the cards are decent/stacked? Either way FM is the highest earner in boxing, as this 'fight' would be a boxing match, FM should get the lions share IMO.
Black belt karate man!!!! Damn, I should have used that as my name on here instead of Braindamage! LOL
the fight can ONLY happen in the boxing ring at this moment as Floyd does not hold a MMA licence but Connor has already applied for and gained a boxing licence.
This is a great event, not competitive sport. none should make more than the other. It should be for charity or else it is just a waste of time.
