Ken Griffey Jr did it better

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Didn't realize Conor had his own promotion attached to this. Wonder if it's legit or not and if it'll become anything in the future

What are they gonna talk about in the next three press conferences 

Conor answered questions after and it was a little more entertaining than the presser. Said if Floyd didn't respect his name that he'd catch an elbow to the eyebrow or get strangled 

 

He also continued to iterate that he is not leaving MMA because he loves the feeling of true combat. I want to believe him because he sounds genuine but I won't set myself up for disappointment. MMA just isn't the same without him right now

Floyd is really a white belt at trash talk. You can tell he was dropping memorized / rehearsed lines.

We all know a teleprompter wouldn't help.

 

[chino905]

^ Gaethje also got an extra 100k for fight of the night and performance of the night. Total payout 300k

 

[thehealthinspector]

gray used to be near the top of the game

gray used to be near the top of the game

What's crazy is that his base pay is still higher than Michael Johnson, who is still very relevant and headlining 

 also Ed Herman has a higher base pay as well 

Conor is claiming Floyd told him MMA next 

 

 

[OTG]

i didn't even know gray fought teru this weekend.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Damn Overeem making money like that!?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

 
Damn Overeem making money like that!?

He's been getting paid big time in his recent fights. He was a free agent not long ago I believe 

 

[shenggg]

OH YEAH FLOYD YOU DO 4 OUNCE GLOVES LMFAO. 

 

[boxer15]

Anybody else chuckle when Dana announced McNugget as the reigning and defending 155lb champ?

I take it he doesn't understand the meaning of defending.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I always chuckle in general that Conor has never defended any of his belts

Dude is slick always getting out of it all the while making more money than anyone

 

[g money 87]

He's been getting paid big time in his recent fights. He was a free agent not long ago I believe 

Its why stipe had an issue w his pay after he beat reem

Also when they signed him it was worth it. Big fight w Brock off the bat and were looking to give him a title shot but he popped

Now, he shouldn't be getting paid that much, he's inconsistent and not a big draw

 

[freshbottoms]

Not a bad payday for pettis. His contract has to be close to up. He's at such a strange place in the division, but could see him make his way back up the ranks. Even sergio gonna get a title shot soon w another win or 2

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Would like to see Pettis fight Al Iaquinta or the winner of Darieush/Dunham 

Or... if Josie decides to move up to 155...

 

[P A Z]

Interesting that Browne is making more than Pettis who was a title challenger and former champ.

Maybe because Rhonda is no longer fighting, they're allowing Browne to cake up to take care of Dana's former BFF?

 

[freshbottoms]

Yea a Pettis/ laquinta would be a nice matchup. Or even a Kevin Lee type

 

[af1 1982]

Only reason Browne is still in the UFC is because he's Ronda's husband. Plain and simple

People have gotten cut for losing 2 straight

 

[deleted user 7639]

Seeing the money these guys are getting paid is sad.
90k base for pettis is insanely low. Granted he fell off. But damn.

Hopefully Whittaker and Romero got back end ppv money being they became headliners after ol girl got sick.

 

[droseph]

Is Edmund still in Browne's corner?

[af1 1982]

Gotta root for McGregor since he repping this sport. 

I know it's definitely a psychology game on his part but Floyd already looking defeated. Talking about how he's old and slow. And that this is 100% his last fight and his body can handle it anymore.
