Why A Potential Floyd Mayweather Bout Would Likely Be Conor Mcgregor's Last Fight

... who made Mc Gregor and Mayweather $25 million offers for the fight recently, has interest in the bout because it would be, well, big business. It’s a bout that could hit 3 million on pay-per-view, which would leave it as the second-highest selling match ever. Only the 2015 bout between Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, which did 4.6 million, is higher. View photos. Connor Mc Gregor has pulled no punches in prodding Floyd Mayweather on social media. (Getty). The UFC’s pay-per-view model is dramatically different than boxing’s, and it relies on the quality of the undercard a lot more than boxing. That said, there are few bouts imaginable for Mc Gregor in the UFC that would seem to be able to net 2 million or more buys. Take a look at the potential contenders. • The winner of the March 4 bout for the interim lightweight belt between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson. That would ...

Julianna Pena ‘didn’t Want To Share Spotlight With Conor Mcgregor’, Turned Down Ufc 205

... November. There were two reasons for this. The first, of course, was that Pena had been under the impression she was going to get a shot at UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes, and she wasn’t thrilled when Ronda Rousey got the nod instead. “She had came out and said I was going to be next if Ronda Rousey didn’t come back,” Pena said. “I was ready for a title shot. But then Ronda came back from her long-ass vacation and they give it to her and I wasn’t happy about that.”. At that point, it became about which fights made sense for Pena in the absence of a title shot and on which card. And the way Pena saw it, if she wasn’t going to get the meeting with Rousey, then she at least felt her next fight should be the center of attention. And that wasn’t likely to happen at UFC 205, which had three title fights and was headlined by then-featherweight champion Conor Mc Gregor’s attempt to win the lightweight title from Eddie Alvarez. “I didn’t want to share the spotlight with Conor Mc Gregor,” Pena said. “I’m realistic, I know that Conor is going to be the biggest thing that came out of UFC 205, for good reason. So if I wasn’t getting a title fight, why would I fight on ...

Like Conor Mcgregor, Holly Holm Also Wants To Hold Two Ufc Titles At Once

... 4:48 PM Follow @marissapayne. The new women’s featherweight title has Holly Holm immediate attention, but she’s got a bigger goal in the back of her mind. (Steve Marcus/Las Vegas Sun via AP). One belt is fine, but two belts? That appears to be the new goal for several UFC fighters ever since Conor Mc Gregor accomplished the feat last year by holding both the men’s featherweight and lightweight straps simultaneously. The latest fighter to aim for that goal is former women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm, who currently holds zero titles, but plans on picking up the newly created women’s featherweight title next month when she faces Germaine de Randamie at UFC 209. “I want both belts,” Holm said in a phone interview on Friday. “Not just because it would make history. That’s awesome, but because I had that ...

Khabib Nurmagomedov Has Interesting Plans For Conor Mcgregor In 2017

... deny Mc Gregor a fight. A victory over Ferguson - who has won nine in a row - is far from a guarantee. And even if things played out as Nurmagomedov has described, an immediate rematch against the sport's biggest star would be an incredibly lucrative offer. But Nurmagomedov, who famously argued with UFC president Dana White about Mc Gregor in the middle of his last fight in November, said his goals are winning the UFC title and fighting the best. Money does not dictate his career. " Nate Diaz is ranked No. 10? All top-level lightweight fighters beat him and [Mc Gregor] lost to him one time and their second fight was very close," Nurmagomedov said. "After that, he beat Eddie Alvarez , who has a 3-2 record in the UFC? He's never had a fight with the top-level lightweights. This is my opinion. "I came to the UFC to fight with top-level fighters ...

The American said this week that he would only consider facing MMA star Mc Gregor for a base purse of $100 m with his opponent taking home a career-high $15 m plus a minor cut of the pay-per-view receipts. Having dismissed White's offer out of hand, Mayweather has taken to social media to illustrate precisely why an additional $25 million would be of little appeal to him, given his astonishing wealth.

Anderson Silva Wants To Fight Conor Mcgregor, Must Have Been Hit Harder Than We Thought

... This is sheer lunacy, but it’s not the first time he’s brought it up. A couple of weeks after Mc Gregor was submitted by Nate Diaz in a welterweight bout at UFC 196, Silva told Brazlian outlet Combate that he wanted to fight Mc Gregor. Remember, Mc Gregor said after his two fights with Diaz, who has been a lightweight for most of his career, “I even had to fight a guy three times the size of me.”. Silva told Combate (story is in Portuguese) last year. I’ve never asked to fight anybody, but I would like to test my martial arts skills against Conor Mc Gregor. I would like that and a rematch with Nick Diaz and Michael Bisping. I think Mc Gregor is a great striker, but he didn’t do very well in his last fight because he played into Nate Diaz’s game and that’s really hard. Most assumed he was kidding and laughed it off. But apparently, he was not. He recently spoke to Globo, another Brazlian outlet, and brought it ...
