Turning 2 million into 4 billion and counting is cool as fornicate.

Fair point, but it was much more open for one dominant organisation to take control in comparison to the fragmented landscape of boxing in 2017.SaadOffTheDeck wrote: ↑09 Nov 2017, 16:46Mma was quite messy, it had been banned it most states.ElJefe wrote: ↑09 Nov 2017, 15:15 It'll definitely be a different challenge than his start in MMA.

Sure, because nobody else thought it would ever go anywhere. Huge risk, much bigger than anything they did in boxing now.ElJefe wrote: ↑09 Nov 2017, 17:09Fair point, but it was much more open for one dominant organisation to take control in comparison to the fragmented landscape of boxing in 2017.SaadOffTheDeck wrote: ↑09 Nov 2017, 16:46Mma was quite messy, it had been banned it most states.ElJefe wrote: ↑09 Nov 2017, 15:15 It'll definitely be a different challenge than his start in MMA.

Considering I'm a fan of MMA, it's not.SaadOffTheDeck wrote: ↑09 Nov 2017, 12:27He doesn't pay peanuts. That's a boxing fan myth. There are certainly plenty of fighters that want. And some that deserve, more but that's any business that's going right. Boxing needs more 'peanut' purses.TheGingerBomber wrote: ↑09 Nov 2017, 10:28Maybe he has that in mind, but given he pays majority of his fighters peanuts, can't imagine any top fighters joining a closed promotion. His best bet is to operate in the same way as every other promotion in boxing, at least for now.

Hopefully we're not dealing with another reported income poster. Last week someone was claiming Conor made 9 million in his whole career.
