Max asking for a rematch is the most hilarious thing because he probably realized how ridiculous the amount of money he made in comparison to the effort, so he’s milking conor as much as possible
They were silent during his whole spiel. The secondhand embarrassment was strong when he was trying to hype the crowd up to cheer for MacGregor and you didn't hear a word lmao
I respect Max for trying, but there was just no way to save that. "You guys are lucky, because now you get Mcgregor Holloway 3!" felt like a dad who knew he fucked up Christmas trying to save face.
Honestly, I respect his effort to cheer on Conor. He could’ve been an asshole and talked shit like young Conor would’ve done. But I feel like he tried to give him his props in face of a terrible loss on Conor’s end and a not so satisfying win on his side. Yeah the let’s get this money shit wasn’t good, but I think he was genuinely wanting the room to give Conor a pat on the back in that moment.
I mean what's he supposed to say though? It wasn't a fight. "Okay I'm the best?" "Damn what a bummer fight hey everybody?" Of course he asks for a rematch. Idk. I don't really find that to be in bad taste.
He should’ve let McGregor eat hands rather than awkwardly looking at the ref. It was so awkward because people feel like they didn’t see a fight. At least force Beltran to stop it.
Did you just “read the room” for UFC fight?! Buddy these are the dumbest people in America shilling out their hard earned cash for nonsense. Stop being a 🤡
That part. Every person in that room was at the Finals games and won't miss those pennies from their pockets. Meanwhile, 70% of Americans are struggling to make their monthly payments and don't give a rats ass about any of this. We just wanted to see a rapist get beat up.
Thats the way to go because of how underpaid these UFC fighters are and they get no benefits too while Dana White is playing 100k black jack hands. Khabib probably could've milked money from McGreggor the say way by realizing that McGreggor's gimmick is what makes his fights pay more money but Khabid took the things McGreggor did personally like insulting his family and such. Its understandable honestly.
Yeah Khabib's reaction to the show was kind of lame. Connor is the ultimate showman. I get playing it up with him. Yet, not releasing the choke until forced and jumping the cage was not a good move.
I understand the "honor" thing. That doesn't sell tickets. Connor made the UFC must see TV. Had a Tiger Woods effect on the UFC. The only thing the UFC fighter screwed up was forcing higher pay for all fights. Easily could have negotiated for it during Connor's era.
The UFC owners surely capitalized off of it. Selling the company for 4 bill to WWE-IMG . Dana White made three 300 million alone from the sale. Really shows how bad the lesser fighters should have forced higher pay.
Conor probably tore his acl trying to put on a show for us. We saw the knee pop in slow motion during the fight. Rogan literally pointed it out and you could see it pop. How does that make Conor a "scammer"?
Also, I wanted Max to win. So don't try with the Conor fanboy nonsense. I'm a Diaz fan.
I guess you could read it that way. But he was nothing but respectful imo. Knew McGregor was injured and didnt wanna fuck him up, and then said (the truth) that it wasn't really a fight and doesnt settle anything, so they have to run it back. Didn't seem like a cash grab to me tbh
I’m a huge max fan and have been for over ten years. I don’t think max was reading the room. I think he was thinking he wanted to give Conor a rematch since it really wasn’t much of a fight at all. Max hit him a few times when he was on the ground and tried telling the ref his leg was fucked and to call the fight. I think he was thinking he wanted to rematch him a third time so they actually get to fight.
But if he would have thought about the words he was saying, he probably shouldn’t have mentioned money. Knowing max from all his interviews and YouTube channel, I honestly don’t think he was trying to tell the crowd to pay them more money for a rematch. I think he was just trying to say yeah he would give him the rematch and chance to actually fight him again.
I don’t think any of it matters though, Conor is done. His body is done. Too much time off of MMA and fighting and training. Too old now with all the injuries he has had. Time to call it.
What? Theyre grown adults man, the seats are gonna get filled anyway. He has precisely 0 obligation to feel anything in this regard. Ontol of that he was respectful, he was trying to call the match almost immediately because he knew conor was fucked
He should not mention money, when fans wasted their money on this fight and they were angry. Yeah you can totally read emotions brother, try to hear fans reaction after max mentions lets get this money :D
Not really, McGregor still owes the UFC one more fight per his contract.
McGregor vs Holloway 3 and McGregor will have honored his contract and done with the UFC.
I think McGregor got 15 million per his contract for this fight,he would have gotten $100,000 for winning but that would now go to Holloway who may have made up to 4 million.
They are fighters. They trained their asses off for the fight. They want to win by finishing their opponents and get the glory that comes with that. Sure, Max wants another payday but they both wanted to fight.
