When asked which Pokemon he evolved into, Kamara pauses.

"Motherfucking, what's that big dragon shit? That orange motherfucker. Charizard."

Breaking news, I have also signed a contract to fight Floyd Mayweather, he is unaware of this contract and the details are ludicrously unfair to him, but I am under contract to fight him and if he doesn't sign he's a drat coward.

I don't think it surprising that Conor signed the fight he relentlessly pitched which will make him more in one fight that he will over his entire MMA career.

i mean, it took how many years for the pac fight and floyd made over 200m from it. if it does ever happen somehow, it'll take a long time i would imagine.

also i did a little bit of digging around projections vs performance of the pac vs floyd fight and people didn't have a clue how much it would do. i bet the UFC has some guesses but that's still tricky to negotiate.

That is a great article. The only things that might be a little off is that I recall that the UFC might have been able to negotiate a split better than 50/50 on their ppv deal awhile ago but like most of this stuff, no one really knows for sure. With numbers these big, I don't think anyone really knows anything for sure.

yeah i feel dumb but imagine mayweather more likely to turn it down than mcgregor not because of the whole 'he'll get sparked' mma thing but because floyd's old, rich as hell, and out cavorting with chechnyan war criminals which is a much easier payday

Could be the opposite too though. Be Mayweather's easiest fight of his career and potentially most lucrative.

I don't think Floyd would ever accept it, and I don't think Conor expects him to. He's doing it to keep his name out there while he's sitting out to have a baby

It's kind of funny when the fake middleweight belt probably has a lot more prestige than the real one.

I'm torn between being pissed about yet another goddamn interim title and being glad that middleweight is going to get an interim fight more legitimate than its actual championship

No.

Whittaker stops Romero, within 3 rounds. Which is a thing I never would have said 2 years ago

If Dad Kelly gets a title shot I can die happy. He just keeps rolling. Just a couple more wins. Put him against the fading Wideman to boost his popularity, I say.

'australian' is enough to get him by in the us. he just needs a few steve irwin-ish sound bites and he'll be fine.
