I actually disagree with the “hurting the business” angle.

 

dows it make them look bad, sure...will it create more PPV buys, absolutely.

 

the only way it truly hurts is if Fox doesn’t want to be Associated with those types of spectacles anymore 

And as we all know, Fox doesn't care about spectacles as long as they can make money off of it. ;)

And you keep ignoring the actual debate so ill just take it as you backing off your absurd claim that ufc fighters getting hurt outside the ring is a bugger deal than paying customers being put in danger.

Hospitalizing someone is absolutely worse than a theoretical danger that doesn’t cause any harm.

 

Ray Borg being a UFC fighter doesn’t make it okay for him to have glass in his eye and lose his payday.

Cant stand Lesnar but I see nothing wrong with it. Purely promotional. Thats how you build fights and make money. Everyone is trying to follow Conors blueprint now. Dude said he went from four figures in his bank account to around $150M by marketing himself, and being a solid fighter as well. Don’t get why he gets so much hate for that. He’s the definition of a normal joe making it. He created a persona that was entertaining. People literally love his character or hate it and it made him multi millions. And no, it’s not his real personality by any means. 

This

 

Hes Mayweather level of promoting himself....he’s just not a complete scum bag in real life.

You already lost the actual debate. What Conor did was worse for the UFC's business than what Khabib did. There's no arguing that. Look at the buzz the UFC is getting. What Khabib did might actually help their business. It was a bad thing to do, but it might have a positive result. And as far as I know, no fan got injured. On the other hand, Conor injured both UFC fighters and the UFC's business.

cool that you just decided that you won the debate. this is the same as saying "we were joking around and shooting at eachothers feet but no one got hurt so it was safe", regardless if someone actually got hurt the threat was there. 

 

What business did the ufc lose, conors pulled a bs, unacceptable move but that made this fight even bigger. Do you have any #'s to back up what youre saying on as far as the money goes?

GSP at 185 has no gas tank.. at 155 I think he’s the worst possible matchup for Khabib. 

I just think he’s been gone too long. His body, no matter how much training, will never be back to what it was imo. That weight cut would take years to do properly and get the cardio up, and even then it wouldn’t be the same as his prime.

doesnt make it ok, but from a business aspect having customers in danger is worse than youre own employees being in danger/hurt.
