Rousey was great for the UFC's numbers. Conor is much better and making much more. I see him sticking around and pulling the same crap every single fight. The last bunch of trash talk was awesome and even though i don't like McGreggor much, that line on CNBC
Host: "lets talk about numbers" [payouts]
Conor "Yeah Nate, lets talk numbers, try to count to 5 for us"
and everything else was pretty funny. I kinda like him for that reason. He is over hyped as a fighter, he's nothing special really and will have to really pull it together and stop with the hands down, punching from the waist, wheel kicks etc.. but as a showman, he's doing great and its paid off for him in a huge way.
Diaz said it best "i've got 25 fights in the UFC and i am still wondering when its going to pay off".... that in itself tells you what a McGreggor is worth, vs a Diaz. It has little to do with a record and skill, for sure and a whole lot to do with who can fill seats. A terminally stoned trailer trash gangbanger who doesn't care about anyone or anything, can't make people want to watch fights and can't sell tickets.
