Maybe it is my bias.
I don't think he made what was reported. The UFC took a chunk of that 100m. Otherwise they wouldn't have promoted it. Did he make more than what he made in a UFC fight up until to that Point? Yes. But he probably made 50m or so. Still a lot of money, but I don't that he was comfortable with the money. Maybe comfortable reaching the pinnacle maybe made him complacent. I don't think money did.
I'm not saying it as a Khabib fan. I was a conor fan at that time too and didn't want neither of them to lose. I noticed the dark shift even back then like other fans tried to ignore it and tried to reason with myself that he will come around after the loss like he did with nate. He didn't really ever come to that point.I truly believe he would have come back sooner if it wasn't for Tony or Khabib. If Max Holloway got the belt, he would have came back sooner. If Eddie regained the belt, he would have came back sooner. Even with the drugs.
Did you forget after the Khabib loss, there was a rumor/conspiracy theory he stopped fucking with SBG/Kavangh for awhile? He started visiting other gyms, John downplayed it and encouraged Conor to do so. This is after Conor came talking about Loyalty etc.
If the rumors were true, maybe it was due to the party and lack of discipline that had him fed up, but since he's going other places to train and John being coy, Eh I doubt that. If the rumors aren't true and he just went to get work somewhere else, he honestly should have just continued to get work somewhere else lol. Probably a better career move.
That's why I think it's after the khabib loss, not because of I'm a fan, but how his life started to spiral after the loss, more so than the floyd loss. He started questioning the people around him.
