Sounds like a dick move but let's be real. He is THE draw on whatever card he fights on. I can see him not wanting them to put a fly, bw, or ww title fight on the card to pad it, when nobody is tuning in for that.
I don't like the guy but he makes sense here.
Yeah I get it, but Conor pulls in far above what anyone else does. Even Brock. And more media and promotion responsibility is put on Conor than anyone else.Definitely it makes sense. But as someone who talks about empathizing and wanting to help other fighters its going the other way on this one. And other big stars like Brock and Ronda who carried cards by themselves would take a lot from the company but never went that far. Like i recall DC saying that for UFC 200, Brock texted him saying 'merry christmas' because he knew that daniel was gonna get paid out.

Well, I look at it like the more money I have and can get, the more I can help out the people around me I genuinely care about, such as family and close friends. And I care a lot more about them than I do the other fighters on the card trying to make it. So because of that I'd definitely always try and position myself to get the best deal possible. Even if I was already a multi-millionaire.
He dresses like Nick Nolte or Gary Busy lol
It does that’s the point, there are only so many ppv points to go around and the ufc still turn a profit and keep the shareholders happy.As long as it doesn't have anything to do with his payout, why should he care?
And neither will you fanboys. Quit living vicariously through him. Besides, who wants to be a fucking ugly Irish manlet with a tiny Wang?Thats why you will never be Conor lol
what the fuck is Leslee smith going to do about Conor demanding the only ppv points as part of his contract? This is a fucking contracted sport, bud. If you think there is any legal merit to sue over a fighter not being offered ppv points undercard for a different fighter you are tripping balls, son.If you don't know who or what I'm referring to then you are showing your posting age.
Easy to say when it's hypothetical. In reality, across all fields, very few people are ever willing to just give a cut of money they've earned to someone else. Very, very few people.The ppv points in the other fighters contracts are likely very low. If I was Conor getting 10-20 million guaranteed plus many more millions in ppv and backroom bonuses, there’s no way I could take another million or two (if that) from other fighters and still sleep at night. I already comfortably take care of my family and those close to me, and I make way less than Conor.
You can.Forgot he used to be on welfare. Forgot the opportunites he got from people willing to defend their belts. You cant teach humility.
