Conor Mcgregor Was Offered The Lead Role In The Predator

... solid work for a hell of a lot of money, for three days. During that three day course, the people from Predator who are having this new Predator movie, a blockbuster…They came in and tried to the sell the whole shit. “We want you to be the main guy and you’re gonna fight [the] Predator” and I’m like “this sounds brilliant!

Khabib Nurmagomedov Has Interesting Plans For Conor Mcgregor In 2017

... 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 and become the undisputed, undefeated champion. This is my goal. A lot of people fight with [Mc Gregor] because of money. I can give him money if he needs money.". As is the case each year, Nurmagomedov will miss time during the Muslim observation of Ramadan. The monthlong period of fasting during daylight hours begins on May 26 in 2017 and extends until June 25. Mc Gregor is out indefinitely as he and his girlfriend await the birth of their first child. Nurmagomedov said he is not concerned that his own unavailability during the early summer would affect a potential fight against Mc Gregor. "Once I'm interim lightweight champion, what's he gonna do?" Nurmagomedov said. "Fight at welterweight? I don't think this is a good idea for him. Or go to a boxing match with [Floyd ...

Floyd Mayweather Says Conor Mcgregor Fight Is Only Thing To Get Him Out Of Retirement

... that Mc Gregor is the opponent most likely to drum up enough public interest to bring him the kind of paycheck that will entice him to put on the gloves again. “We tried to make the Conor Mc Gregor fight. They know what my number is,” Mayweather told the “First Take” panel. “My number was a guaranteed $100 million, that was my number. We’re the ‘A’ side, and I don’t really know how much money Conor Mc Gregor has made. I’m pretty sure he hasn’t even made $10 million in a MMA bout. “But we are willing to give him $15 million, and then we can talk about splitting the percentage, the back end percentage on pay-per-view. But of course, we’re the ‘A’ side. How can a guy talk about $20 or $30 million if he’s never even made $8 or $9 million?”. It is unclear exactly how much Mc Gregor has made in total for his fights over the past year, all of which were huge draws for the UFC. He got a $3 million purse for his ...

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

... 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 seem to be a bout that tops out at around a million sales, and it would be dependent upon a loaded undercard. • Welterweight champion Tyron Woodley would make for a big fight with Mc Gregor because of the historic nature of the bout. Mc Gregor would be bidding to become the first three-weight division champion in the sport’s history. If that occurred, it would do massive business, and a safe guess would be somewhere in the area of 1.5 million to 1.75 million. • A rubber match with Nate Diaz would seem to mean another 1.5 million sales at the minimum, but it’s a long way from there to 2 million. • A rematch with Jose Aldo, ...

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

... event of UFC on FOX 23 in Denver. The fighter known as “The Venezuelan Vixen” confirmed to MMA Fighting that she did, in fact turn down an offer to meet Shevchenko back at the UFC’s debut show at New York’s Madison Square Garden in 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 ...

Conor Mcgregor Stopped By Police In Mclaren Sports Car

... would receive $25 million apiece for a boxing match but Mc Gregor claimed his net worth far outweighs his rival. RELATED ARTICLES. Share this article. 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. UFC president Dan White is open to the idea of a fight between Mayweather and Mc Gregor. Floyd Mayweather is not willing to engage in negotiations at the current amount on the table. Mayweather posted a cutting message to Mc Gregor on his Instagram account on Thursday.

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

... 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 up again. Now that I’m old, I’m beginning to challenge everyone. Oh, I want to beat this dwarf… what’s the boy’s name again? Mc Gregor. It is not provocation. It’s just that I forget, I’m old. Old men know what it’s like. I have this urge to test myself against him. I think he’s a guy who has an unusual ability. I do not know if he would reach a weight of 178.5, 180.8, which is the weight I can get to, but it’s a guy I’d like to test myself before I end my career. Silva, who fights Derek Brunson on Feb. 11 at UFC 208 in Brooklyn, N. Y., has to let it go. Perhaps he needs the money, ...

Floyd Mayweather Jr. And Conor Mcgregor Continue To Talk Up A Superfight

... all set. By Cindy Boren By Cindy Boren January 29 at 3:14 PM Follow @cindyboren. Floyd Mayweather had an interesting comment while attending the Carl Frampton-Leo Santa Cruz fight Saturday in Las Vegas. (John Locher/Associated Press). Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor Mc Gregor are sounding like a couple of guys who getting closer to meeting in a superfight. “I believe the fight could happen. He’s a tough competitor and has proved throughout the years in the UFC that he can fight standing up,” Mayweather, the retired and undefeated boxing champion, said of Mc Gregor in an interview with Showtime ( via ESPN ) during a Saturday night boxing card in Las Vegas. “So we’ll just have to see what the future holds. “Hopefully we can make the fight happen.”. Earlier Saturday, Mc Gregor, the UFC champion, said ( via __link__ ) in England that the “fight is being more than explored. That fight has been in the works for a while now. Look, there’s a lot of steps to get through to get the fight going, but it’s the fight to make. It’s the fight the people want. It’s the fight I want. I know I’m confident going in there. “I’ve got the reach. I’ve got youth. I’ve got the confidence. I’ve ...

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

... have been great. I have no injuries and I’m ready to rock and roll.”. Should Holm win the featherweight strap, there’s just one woman standing in her way when it comes to accomplishing her longterm goal of wearing two belts at once — women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes. Not only is Nunes, who successfully defended her belt against Rousey last month, fearsome at the 135-pound mark, but like Holm, she also wants to follow in Mc Gregor’s footsteps and hold two belts at once. “I really look forward to this 145-pound belt,” the Brazilian told TMZ Sports (via Fox Sports ) earlier this month. “Maybe I’ll go up to fight for the 145-pound belt. We’ll see. Maybe I’m going to have two belts like Conor Mc Gregor.”. With Nunes’s star rising faster than Holm’s, it’s likely Nunes would get the first shot at holding two titles at once. Then again, the UFC can be unpredictable. Before Nunes beat Rousey, rumors circulated that the promotion actually ...
