So why did he want out so, so badly? Didn't he want a rematch?

my only problem with Ariel is his Expos hat.

Sonnen weighs in with some good insights...

http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/4/20/11465682/morning-report-chael-sonnen-thinks-conor-mcgregor-made-a-big-mistake

"Conor has a contract, he made a deal, somewhere he didn't sign it. Let the promotion go out, let the money get spent and then realized ‘I've got the upper hand. Now I can come back and renegotiate. Who's going to tell me no when the advertising is already done?' That's what he did. Guaranteed. With no inside knowledge, guaranteed that's what happened."

according to Helwani and Sonnen he was scheduled to make more than 10 million for UFC 200.
the disagreement still may have been about money but this post doesn't add any evidence to that theory.

source: Sonnen states it in my link in this post and Helwani discussed McG's pay for UFC 200 on the Tim&Sid show.

it might have been about money.. or it may be some other issue.,, i'm leaning towards Sonnen's theory.

Here is a conspiracy theory for you.

Mayweather wants to get into to promoting MMA. He says look Conner I made 100 million per fight. People come to watch you not the ufc let me promote your fights and you will make 50 million or more! No one cares about the undercard anyways we can just throw a bunch of your buddies on it.

Conner see's $$ and says Dana pay up or I'm outtie don't you know how much these suits cost?


OR! Conor got busted for steroids and this is UFCs and McGregors secret plan for him to leave 'quietly'!

Its about money , he is right as well , they are not paying enough to the fighters in the UFC , boxing pays more for less gate/rating in a lot of cases , also UFC builds is brand using those fighters as well , Boxing is beyond that , boxers are the brand not the organisation which is how it should be when ppl are getting their head smashed in , pay the fighters more across the board not just the elite , UFC is a sweat shop in the fighting world.

Boxers are the brand and most people can't name more than two yet there are like 40 championship belts.

paying McG more isn't going to change what the 5th ranked middleweight makes. lots of boxers getting paid next to nothing. the only thing that changes this is a union and collective bargaining.

if we are to believe Dana White and Conor Mcgregor then the issue is how much promo time McG must engage in. Dana covered that in his interview on "The Herd" saying a promo in the USA is reasonable because they were 3 months away from the fight and not 3 weeks away from the fight.

When McG signed on for the UFC 200 fight did he also agree to the promo tour and all it entails?
the devil is in the details.

it doesn't look like McG is asking for more money.


Before Conor released his facebook statement Dana White stated "Conor Mcgregor's window is pretty much closed"

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2016/4/21/11476998/ufc-video-dana-white-says-conor-mcgregor-window-is-pretty-much-closed

This is an interesting stand-off.

MCG was taken off of UFC 200 before he tweeted that he was retiered. Dana white didn't take kindly to him skipping out on the promotional workouts without notice. They're probably playing hardball with eachother but honestly Dana white has all the cards. He already has the fight lined up if MCG doesn't fight at ufc 200 and a ton of other stars willing to take a fight.
A wise man will say that he knows nothing. We're gona party like its 2752 Hail Dark Brandon
