So, this is Dana on Colin Cowherd’s FS1 show. He sticks to the story that this was all due to Conor refusing to not do a press tour. This seems odd because, like, they give away all that money over not doing some TV? If anything, you can sell it as, “Conor is so focused on winning that he won’t talk to anyone. The most talkative man ever only wants to speak with his fists.”
Dana seemed relatively calm, said Conor would fight for the UFC again, and that he isn’t mad. (Sure…) Anyways. Go ahead and watch, people who go ahead and watch!
Remember though, the real reason why Conor wouldn’t fight…
What an ass covering move.
The fighter who is best at promoting fights in order to maximize his PPV buys, suddenly refuses to do any promotion? And the UFC blows tens of millions in buys out the window on principle of Conor not wanting to come for a press conference?
Just admit he asked for more money than you want to pay him, and this is the result.
I think this fight happens. Does Dana blow 40 mill worth of buys over Conor wanting a raise from 5 mill to 10 mill? Not smart.
