And let's see how long Conor will last before doing something stupid by getting suspended or arrested.

This is the reason pro wrestling switched to fixed fights. The crowds would get pissed if a main even was short.
conor gets paid on the backend based on how it sells (and conor is big business) so it's probably closer to $50+ mil, which isn't a part of the disclosed payout you are listing.
And so they could fight every night with low risk of injury.

He loves money so I don't think he will retire any time soon.
Also has anyone tried the Irish whisky he promotes?
In an interview with Ariel Helwani he mentioned he is set to make around $80 million....
Lol you believe that? Nah, they're vastly inflating their numbers. $30-40 million seems a reasonable take for this fight, unless it magically did 1.5 mill sales, which seems impossible
I remember goin to parties for Tyson fights that would last less than 10 seconds. Like we want the party to keep goin, why mike gotta ice em like that.
Na Pro wrestling when it was shoot had fights go to long. Grappling matches lasting hours.
Now Pancrase in Japan in the 90's did do something due to fights ending too quickly. They told the top guys to carry their opponent to make the fight last longer even though the end result wasn't pre determined.
Aldo was the first and last Conor PPV party I held. I learned my lesson.
As demonstrated by the average wrestler living until the ripe old age of about 32.
Masvidal's KO of Ben Askren lasted like 5 seconds and it was the most satisfying, entertaining and talked about UFC finish of probably the last decade.
I'd like to see Masvidal - McGregor match up but I think Dana would axe that at every opportunity.

This. Would be best matchup
If Tony gets injured and we have McGregor v Khabib.... Well screw that noise.
The shoulder strikes also fucked up Cowboys eye. I was definitely impressed, but also surprised Conor came out guns blasting. Everything he threw were bombs.
And lmao at people saying Cowboy took a dive. GTFO with that shit or come with receipts. Have you seen his face? I've never seen anyone taking a dive for money getting destroyed like that and in what way? Getting destroyed by shoulder strikes that no fighter have utilized in that way. If Cowboy was paid to take a dive I expected the first left that Conor threw to connect and "KO" Cowboy within 5 seconds to make it even more spectacular. During the post fight interview Cowboy didn't even know what hit him and said the "elbow" that hit him. He was most likely concussed.
Haha can someone post the fight Conor had before Cowboy. I think it was UFC sponsored in a pub somewhere.
I'll site my source, the amazing David Shoemaker book. Apparently quick matches were bad for business once submissions became more common.
FightMetric had significant strikes in Conor's favor but old guy ended up with the decision
