McGregor: DQ Clause in Mayweather Fight Was $10 Million

[Ruthless-RKO]

CONOR MCGREGOR has revealed he would've forfeited a large portion of his purse for fighting Floyd Mayweather had he been disqualified.

UFC president Dana White repeatedly allayed those fears during the build-up to the contest, claiming McGregor would suffer a huge financial blow if he'd kicked, kneed or elbowed Mayweather.

According to McGregor, had he opted to use an illegal blow he would've been fined $10 million.

Speaking at a Q&A session in Glasgow, the UFC lightweight champion said: "Here's when I knew I was up against it: The ref was like, even if I lift my leg up, it's a point deduction. I'm like, 'How is that a point deduction without even a warning?'

“So they're telling me they're going to deduct points straight off the bat. And if I do get disqualified for any reason, it was a $10 million fine. Ten million f***ing dollars."

In McGregor's eyes, Mayweather's team had the stipulation put into the contract as they didn't believe he was taking the contest seriously.

He added: "They were making up all these f***ing stipulations like I wasn't taking it seriously. Like I didn't have a hall-of-fame referee at my camp present at every single spar. Do you know what I mean?

"I had a boxing referee in Ireland, a great boxing referee in Ireland and then Joe Cortez in Vegas, every single spar. I put in so much work and had given so much respect to the rule set and the discipline, I was kind of expecting it back."

McGregor was upset with the outcome of his professional boxing debut and believes a rematch would see a different result.

He said: "I know if I went another go with him, under boxing rules, I'd get that win, I know that. I know by the feeling of him in the first fight.
"He had to change his whole approach. He fought completely than he (usually) fought, he couldn't figure out what I was doing early on. I feel with the lessons I learned from that first fight, if I had another go around, I'd get him."

I know folk who were at his. He said he'd have beaten Mayweather if the fight went longer. He was apparently coked out of his head, during and after the show. My pal who took his 16yr old son said he came across as fidgety and very insecure.

Did you see his reaction to the press when he posed with Cristiano Ronaldo? Someone pointed out a Ronaldo looked in better shape, as he would the guys a beast, and McGregor started prattling on about how he'd destroy Ronaldo in the octagon.

Yup, on about slapping the head off him etc. I'm sure Ronaldo didn't have the same issues, in fact his gaydar was likely pinging when next to Mac I'm not going to lie, I envy his wealth but the guy is a grade A fanny.

Cristiano Ronaldo is taller and better looking than McGregor... more clean cut and clean shaved... is in a more sensible sport...and gets more girls...

Maybe he's not as rich at the combat athletes -- but I'd say he has it over Mayweather as well.. Floyd has trouble keeping babes loyal and in line.

They get the money and material things they can off of Floyd -- and head off for the Cristiano Ronaldo's of the world to get their real needs met.

I would guess Ronaldo could buy McGregor several times over.

Don't know why Floyd is missing. He's top ten this year and in his last active year. Lol at Kalans ladykiller assessment of Gaynaldo.

Ronaldo only made 100 million so how did he do better than Floyd who made 300 million off the McGregor Fight??? ... Or is this for last year???

Tell me Ronaldo isn't gay... All that youth, money, fame, good looks and GAY???... What a fuking waste when you could line the girls up round the block.
