Calculating from attendance and ticket receipts, that 40 second fight meant attendees each paid an average of nearly $50,000/hour for the fight. | |||

Its January, Cowboys never win in January! Lol | |||

I figured Cowboy would lose but not that quickly. No champion lasts forever and it’s about time someone else comes along to force McGregor to retire for good. McGregor is arrogant, and that’s why I hate him, but he is good at exploiting his opponents. | |||

Go Vols! |
That Cowboy guy did not look like he came to win at all. He looked more like he was just there for the paycheck. | |||

Huge Cowboy fan but he often doesn't show up for big fights. Also, while he's a good striker, he's always had trouble with other good technical strikers. NRA Life Member Steak: Rare. Coffee: Black. Bourbon: Neat. | |||

Well, I'm glad I didn't pay to see this one! I thought McGregor would likely win, but I really thought it would be more of a fight. | |||

Not sure I could really call that a fight, seemed to be more like a beating than a fight. McGregor was really humble leading up to this. He had a lot of respect for Cowboy. Wonder what Cowboy's pay was like for this fight. _____________ | |||

Yeah, that was pretty savage. Seeing the kick to the jaw in slow-motion, it's kinda hard to believe he didn't go lights out right there. Everything that came after was just pounding on a ragdoll. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

Fighting the good fight |
$200,000 just for showing up to fight. Whereas McGregor got $3 million for showing up for the fight. Plus more for the win. He had recently boasted that he would take home $80 million total for a win, but that's likely inflated bragging. | |||

$200k to show $200k to win Probably a taste of the PPV plus any additional comp not disclosed tot he athletic commission. NRA Life Member Steak: Rare. Coffee: Black. Bourbon: Neat. | |||

Wonder if he even has 1/2 of that left after paying trainers, doctors, agent, etc. _____________ | |||

I imagine he has sponsors too so some of that would cover training expenses and whatnot | |||

LOL. My fiancee wanted to watch and nowhere close was playing it, so she bought it. We watched pretty much the whole thing except prelims and I asked if she thought it was worth $70 for about 1 minute of the McGregor fight. ---------------------------- Chuck Norris put the laughter in "manslaughter" Educating the youth of America, one declension at a time. | |||

I've seen it claimed that Mike Tyson is largely to blame for the death of pay-per-view boxing back in the day for much the same reason. People were dropping series coin to watch fights that went maybe a round or two, often much shorter. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||
