Currently even if it happened it'd be at an unknown location, because Floyd won't leave Nevada and hasn't fought in CA in over 13 years, and Conor still hasn't paid the fine Nevada gave him

Getting a boxing licence is a pretty genius move though, Conor can get himself massive pay raises by using it as leverage

Traditionally it should be alternating rounds of MMA and boxing, and one of them has to dress up like an anime.

DumbWhiteGuy posted:I never thought they'd put James Toney in the UFC either though. They kind of did it in the most humiliating possible way for Toney/Boxing in general. Put him in there with a similarly aged guy so casuals think it's a fair fight, and have that guy be well known for strategy and discipline and making fights ugly. It's almost the exact opposite of sending the biggest star in the UFC to go look like an idiot for 3 rounds, gas horribly and become the rarest thing in pro boxing - the victim of a Mayweather KO/TKO. Conor won't care as he will make a shitload of money, but unless the UFC get at least as much money themselves there's not a lot for them to gain from this.

mistakinder posted:Conor is a mixed martial artist and Floyd is a boxer. It is unreasonable for either man to fight the other on their terms. I propose that Dana gets cracking on a special TUF Coaches Challenge as a compromise, they could play each other at tennis or off-road buggy racing or maybe paintball. Boxing rules, but MMA gloves.

im not sure if you guys missed it but two things. - Bjorn said that the reason they are not unionizing is that they dont want to spend the next 4-5 years in court with ufc. - gsps lawyer James Quinn is involved in this.. no matter what you think of the Free agent bs, he is the real deal quote:James W. Quinn

https://youtube.com/c/powerfuljre/live Jon Jones is going live soon on JRE. Has the NSAC ruled on his suspension yet? I know USADA gave him a year. If I was his lawyer I'd keep him from talking until everything has been handed out. He's a dummy.

fatherdog posted:It's really too bad because a genuine fighter's union would really help fighters across the board, so I kinda want to support this, but everything about it seems extremely shady. I think all or most of the fighters are probably genuine in their desire for this to work, but they're getting very bad advice from Bjorn, and it's hard to say whether that's from malice or incompetence. They are getting advice taht serves bjorns purposes. So neither incompetent nor malicious. Just greedy

TheCool69 posted:im not sure if you guys missed it but two things. That does not change the fact that an association is a stupid idea if your goal is to force the UFC to negotiate a CBA, as they claimed they wanted to do. If their goal was to somehow help rival promotions rise to the level of the UFC to get more competition and/or bring down the UFC with some kind of anti-trust lawsuit then an association makes more sense, but that does not sound like what they want.

my favourite bjorn rebney moment was when he got sued because in emails with ken pavia about stealing ufc contracts he laid out his master plans for no reason like cobra commander or some poo poo http://www.cagepotato.com/zuffa-sues-agent-ken-pavia-and-bellator-over-theft-trade-secrets/

Jesus, this story about him crashing into the pregnant woman is probably even worse than it initially sounded on his part. He did a runner without even looking at the car he crashed into, he just assumed they'd be okay because he was and he hosed off because he stunk like booze and was still not fully clear from the night before.

I know, for example, you don't need to be an electrician to be in the IBEW. I wonder if there is anything stopping them from joining any other already established union (besides bjorn related bullshit).

I'm not 100% sure but I think that would just get you any health or affinity benefits they receive and would have no impact whatsoever on an ability to negotiate with UFC.
