    And I'm hearing all over Connor will make 100 million. Would Floyd allow that. He always cites his opponents as having their pay day but to me this 100 million thing sounds like bullshit, yet I'm hearing it again and again but usually from the mma fans.

    I just can't see it. I also can't see Connor touching Floyd unless Floyd for some strange reason decided to go toe to toe which I don't see happening. I can hear Floyd after saying what a champion Connor was and how he put up a great fight after Connor spent the night chasing Floyd and taking those Floyd shots that suck the wind out of him. The outcome is not in doubt but I am really curious about Conor's cut.

    The opening projections that are usually rather accurate suggested this fight would gross 606 million. If the initial projections are right then yes, he will get 100 million.

    Because Floyd is looking at 200 million. If he fought GGG he gets 30 million. If he fights Connor he gets 200.(assuming it meets projections. It would be hilarious if it flopped). Connor gets money because he will help sell more than any other fighter. Floyd can let Connor sell it, which he is no longer interested in doing. And it's an easy fight. Exactly what a retired guy wants.

    The entire marketing strategy is "what would happen if...." for as great as boxing is doing this year it isn't selling particularly well. So they sell something else. A curiosity. It really should be staged in Atlantic City for nostalgia.

    It's hard to pin down exactly what the most Connor has made from a fight before is. I've seen as little as 3 million on one thing and as high as 16 million on another. But remember, the 100 for Connor, 200 for Floyd could be BS. The projections could be BS. Trying to convince everyone that everyone else is interested so others are interested. So far the boxing fans reject it. But boxing fans aren't the desired audience, they want the casuals and those that tune into events. MMA fans are eating it up.

    I thought put all the crap in one place.

    I would love to see this fight not sell.

    You've gone mad man . Unfortunately today you can wrap a bow on a turd and they'll always be those who are convinced of it's value.

    I watched a vid of Conner "sparring" other day. He looked like a guy trying to put on a jacket 3 sizes too small that was on fire.

    And I guess the mma fans are understandably excited. They are very into it, at least the guys I know although they seem more interested in excitement not skill but hey that's what makes the world go round. It's strikes me as odd Floyd is letting an opponent get so much. A lot of his recent, for lack of a better word) opponents got under 10 million and thanked him. Who knows maybe this will hit expectations, I think I might be jealous hearing those figures thrown around
