At the small cost of the legitimacy of the lightweight division and actual lightweight title fights.

Those two things are of immense benefit to Conor. I'm asking about the benefit to the sport. Because PPV buys outside of him and Ronda are down and the title picture in half the divisions is either hosed or dire.

surprising you have this many tears left after you shed so many for mighty mouse

I goddamn hate Mayweather, but McGregor has a worse chance to win his fight than CM Punk did against Gall, right? Like, we're going to see McGregor get loving slaughtered.

Also, will there be other fights on the card before this one? I definitely want to throw or attend a party for this, but people are gonna be loving pissed if there isn't at least one competitive fight on the card.

id say he has a better chance than cm punk since he's actually good at fighting at a basic level

Unless the punishment is he loses his entire purse than the possibility can't be totally discounted.

man conor / floyd in a boxing match is way more of a mismatch than cm punk and mickey gall in mma. it's hard to verbalise how much of a competitive fight this is not.

"Although the taxpayer has substantial assets, those assets are restricted and primarily illiquid," the petition said, according to the legal website Law360. "The taxpayer has a significant liquidity event scheduled in about 60 days from which he intends to pay the balance of the 2015 tax liability due and outstanding."
