if McG officially becomes a full time boxer i wonder if he can wiggle out from under his UFC contract via the Ali act and then start negotiate with Mayweather directly. i would not be surprised if McG's management team uses that for leverage.

"happiness" is an arbitrary emotion when it comes to maximizing ones pay. even if he is "happy" he'll use whatever leverage he can during this current UFC/Mayweather/McG 3 way dance. it'll be interesting to see if he elects to use the Ali act for leverage.

DAMN so when I was talking about boxing have tons of champs still compared to boxing. You went to just the WBA and instead of it being 5x the champs the UFC has its like 4.8x the champs the ufc has. You showed me good.
So as long as we don't count the WBC, The IBF, Ring and so on you figure that UFC at 13 is close to boxing (WBA alone over 50)
Damn son you bringing that heat!

false, WBA has at most 50 champs when every interim title is filled and they never have because of how the interim title is awarded.
4X13 > 50 its not even 4 times. so your comment "5X the number and still have less" is false and its not even 4X.

Boxing orgs have lots more champs than the UFC; just leave it at that.

Lol basically Dana White is saying fuck u to Mayweather.
25 millions is like chump change for him. this is a good way to put this to rest though.

Except he said 25 million + a % of the PPV. Without them getting into the details about the % it doesn't really matter. Because that is how floyd makes his 300 million and shit per fight.

Exactly, people don't seem to understand this.

the most ppv buys ufc gets is about 1.5 millions with stacked cards.

its gonna be pretty hard to get 75 millions out of this and get McGregor his share no?

it'll be interesting to see what price they charge. an HD UFC PPV is $60. Mayweather's last fight was ~$70 and i think the Pac fight was $100. the UFC and Mayweather's management has a very good idea of what percentage of their audience never buys the other fighting type and how what percentage buy both. i think they'll come up with the optimum price point and milk McG's and Mayweather's respective fan bases for every possible dime.

I'm sure that is the sales/marketing departments goal, just like it is for every promotion and business. Why do you always make it sound evil? You do understand the UFC is a business right?

count your blessings man you are being educated by the wise JJR. He is sharing the knowledge of his introduction to economics course for free.
