All good points,it would have been wild had you made that post a few days prior to the fight....with Mayweather,Showtime and McGregor getting the lion's share of the profits I just how much Dana White's take was.Rigged as in I personally think the outcome and how long it went was decided by Dana White long before the fight started IMO.
I just think Dana White is two things...
#1 A GREAT business man, he took UFC from basement crap to a HUGE multi mullion dollar monster, and has complete control over UFC to the point he does not even allow mangers for any UFC fighters because he knows managers = money loss.
#2 A money hungry do anything for a buck screw his own Mother SOB
I could be wrong, but my opinion ...this whole fight was set up from day one by Dana as a money maker for him. I told my buddy whos a UFC fan as I am that it would go no less than 10 rds because for the cost of the PPV ($100) if it went less then people would feel screwed, and it went....10 rds lol. I told him Mayweather would win because thats is just how it has to be....life long Champ boxer trained for years against a crowd fav likable guy that trained MMA but only trained boxing for 8 months.
Played out exactly how I told my buddy it would, go 10 rds, long enough to make it seem "okay" to PPV fans, Conor would win the first half so his fans woul feel good, then NO KO because that would not set well, but either TKO or Decision for Mayweather. Which 10rd TKO is how it ended. I called it months ago, even called the TKO and RD! lol
I dunno, just my opinion I guess, I love UFC, Huge Conor fan, hell I'm a Floyd Jr fan too always liked the guy. Just think the whole thing was a Dana money maker from day one though if ya ask me. Could be wrong, just my opinion though.
I understand White really had no role in the fight and pretty much temporarily handed Conor over to Showtime.
