I remember him saying he will wrestle till he drops dead, he's still getting paid to do it so I see no issue with it

Hell no, son. I put into too much work this year to get anything less than Bs.
He retired for the 10th time last September. I feel like he'll do one more before he dies.
Let's start Strowman's legend killer run with Chainsaw Charlie.

Maybe WCPW gave them the Suzuki contact in return
When does his contract run out? Based by year? or by fights?

7 more fights, and Dana sincerely wants to do at least 1 of those

Roman's going over Sunday, so at least tonight we'll get a nice image of Strowman throwing a dumpster with Roman inside into a bigger dumpster.

Can someone remind me if Cena ever faced 3H in a championship match before?
7!!!!

The other 6 will never happen and they'll let Bellator or Rizin have him if he wants to be there, but he's successfully conned Dana into doing a second fight and they're looking for an opponent
So he's signed for the next 15 years

Dana White also seriously thinks he's about to close the deal between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor's fight, what a buffoon.

Mania, baby.
Did you see how much he thinks both would get? Damn crazy

I've went from thinking it'll never happen to thinking it'll happen and idiots will absolutely pay $200 on PPV to see it
Yall got conned into buying Floyd/Pacquiao for $100, don't tell me you think this won't be at least double that price
RecRoulette

To be honest, that fight would probably make it. People paid $100 for the PPV of Mayweather vs Pacquiao, and boxing is pretty much dead for the casual audience.
He said he hasn't even talked to Floyd's team yet, but thinks he can get it done with a 60/40 split.
Shit's going to be Inoki vs Ali II, a complete carnival. Surprised Vince hasn't tried to step in yet.

This isn't directed AT you, but why would anyone agree to that in something that's a one on one fight?
"Yeah, you're gonna get punched in the face a lot, but no matter what you're making less win or lose."
Seems shitty, haha.

Cena defeated HHH at Wrestlemnia 22
Damn. Was there at least a decent build?
I mean 3H could have or should have fought against Cena for the strap. I bet 3H is saving one last idea match for his retirement against Cena.
I just wish he would be honest with everyone and say its just about the money. I'm contemplating taking on a kickboxing or MMA fight myself and its not a small commitment. Its something you have to be fucking all in on.
UFC fighters can BJJ and submission grappling events.
Double the price for half the boxing? I'd rather go to a bar and pay for drinks. By the end of my second one the fight will probably be over.
It actually is ridiculous that some states are willing to sanction this.....

Who's this?
Connor will make more losing then he will in his whole UFC career.

This carnival shit happens all the time in boxing. A 60/40 split is fucking generous compared to some of the splits I've seen over the last few years. Boxers have to fight bigger names to get more exposure, but the bigger name was a huge share because they're drawing in all of the viewers.
That's not even factoring in the bigger name just ducking the fight because they might lose (See Canelo Alvarez vs GGG). Nothing against the fighters personally, just the shitty promoters they have.
In Conor's case, he's making WAY more from this fight than any UFC fight he'll do. So that's why I think Floyd giving him 40 is hilarious. Floyd has all the cards in this negotiation.

Conor's literally never made more than $6 mil for a single fight, and has been pretty clear and consistent in saying if he ever makes megabucks for one he's probably not sticking around. He absolutely doesn't want to do this forever and does want to make a stupid amount of money once before he goes
A scenario where $100 mil total is on the table and he makes literally $40 fucking million from it guaranteed is absolutely one he's not turning down. He hasn't even made that much in his whole career (Forbes says $22 mil total)

No, I understand that aspect of it, and I know it's a shitload of money, but it just seems shitty when you're as big as both of them to go "Well you're only worth 40% of a fight that you're 50% of".

Just looked through the episode guide for Season 3 and I'm afraid you're wrong. Learn to accept it and move on. Make a better man/woman of yourself. Chin up. Eyes wide. Shining bright. Be a star.

Oh yeah, I wasn't trying to say that concept is incorrect or shouldn't be fought for. Just that Conor's not the type to fight it or care about being the victim of it if he gets $40 mil/fuck you money out of it. He'd be looking up flights and island rentals well before a journalist finished asking him how he feels about the other guy being paid $60 mil
As for Floyd, he's made a living off of getting these kinds of deals for him vs these kinds of deals for opponents. He's been able to do it since he took a (comparatively smaller) big payday to fight the then-biggest name in the business, because he felt confident he'd win, and he did and made a career out of this shit because of that gamble.
The who on the what now?

60/40 for Mayweather fights is normal
He really could ask for a higher ratio if he wanted
