Joe Rogan on McGregor/Mayweather PPV Numbers "I Imagine Conor Will Box Again"

Hello freak bitches. Well it becomes a thing like with Floyd Mayweather You know like a big thing about Floyd Mayweather is how much money he makes it's not just that he's a great boxer It's that he's gonna make 300 million dollars apparently it's gonna be even more than that you see the the pay-per-view numbers They're talking about 6.5 million pay-per-view buys Wow, so it's more than 2 million more than the Manny Pacquiao fight. That's insane Does that include potential refunds? That's a good question Well to me for he did nickname himself money Mayweather Well, he did after he was pretty boy Floyd. He changed it, but yeah, then he built the persona around I spend money He doesn't have to do I mean it's it's cool and good for him But he did make a big thing about spending money that one time he showed up like a hundred million Dollar check you remember that like wait. Why is that on like a regular ass check? Yeah, it was just like a regular Chase Bank check It wasn't even a big cardboard one not even that or print it out or print it out on a Or even a wire or something. I would get that wired. Yeah, laminate that thing That's real. He's really holding on to a 100 million dollar check But it was just a regular ass check that you would buy groceries on in the 80s. Yeah. Yeah that 100 million yeah, I guess he wrote it to himself so is Mayweather promotions general Yeah, yeah, you got a hundred million in a Bank of America. I guess so it seems like he just holds on to it, too Hey, he doesn't cash it. That's a weird Yeah, I saw but I mean why is he hanging on that why does it you should probably cash that well It is other account anyways as many weather promotions account who cares so the Mayweather personal account the checking So he's probably gonna make more than 300 million dollars from this last fight sure yeah Amazing I can't imagine that they won't do that again that him and Connor won't do it again with a figure If a con I can figure out how to not get tired Yeah, if he can convince people Like say if he fights Paulie Malinagy, he's gonna beat the shit out of Paulie Malinagy and then says Freud Let's do it one more fucking time And I think Come on we did that already. I know that's what starts thinking about that money Could probably if you could figure out a way to get people excited about it Connor could get somehow somehow another get more people to pay attention because it was an interesting fight for the first three or four rounds It made it he made it look interesting, but it really wasn't interested I thought it was interested, but then when I thought back it wasn't interested well He caught for clean you know he caught him with an uppercut in the first round Nobody hits Floyd clean like that Lloyd underestimated him I also Wasn't he wasn't doing that shoulder roll no he was because he wanted to He didn't believe in Connor's power so Floyd usually boxes you think that's what it is When you always see him boxing that like he box canelo and he does that and right and he goes off for that counter I don't think that's what it was I think he knew that Connor was gonna get tired if he was backing up you know that Connor has endurance problems and As long as he wasn't throwing a lot of punches which Floyd wasn't he's constantly faking and moving he's got Connor backing up He could be what it's way easier to be defensive if you're not being offensive So if you're not thinking about hitting the guy if you're constantly like fainting and you got your hands up you're moving forward But really what you're thinking about is what he's throwing Yeah You can get away with a lot and you could press forward a lot more because you're gonna see the punches coming because you're not Really thinking too much about throwing your own punches unless he's like a clear wide opening So for the first couple of rounds, he's mostly like putting pressure on him sizing him up When I watched it after the fight, it became way more obvious. Like why you're watching you're like what's gonna happen? What's gonna happen once you already know what's good what's happened then then I watched it and I said, oh I could see exactly He's doing he's fainting putting a lot of pressure on Connor and he's making kind of back up a lot which is Exhausting and then also Connor's not very efficient. He's not a boxer. So like there's a lot of energy being wasted He's gonna get tired more easily and he doesn't run so he doesn't have the same kind of endurance of Floyd has It's a lot a lot of factors in there. Yeah, it was a hundred eleven punches, but some of them were like, yeah The ones that Connor landed you mean? Yeah, there was a few over there were like little mm-hmm. Yeah Yeah, they're also like weird ones like patty little patty pack punches to the side of the head Yeah in the back of the head. This is one meme that is so kind of like this and it says fork this box and Well, you know you get used to that in MMA, you know, you get used to hammer fists Well, I think that's what I saw I was talking about and a lot of other people were just wondering if muscle memory is gonna just kick in and he was gonna Do some weird information and it did kick in a little bit, but it net to the extreme Yeah, I think there was some massive penalties for any so if he had any sort of Point deduction or anything that they did is something illegal. I think he had a massive penalty More than a million dollars for each thing. He fucked up with 10 mil 10 mil makes for each one That makes sense that 10 mil might make you get your shit together As long as he doesn't get disqualified. It might be worth it like 10 million for one fucking knee to the body
