    I'd imagine they'd try a system like the one they have for WWE. Have PPVs on the regular channels with perhaps 3-4 a year on PPV. The bigger cards.

    It won't work though. The market is barely big enough to warrant boxing on PPV (in fact, they only recently reintroduced boxing on PPV after abandoning the model in 2011).

    In farness, the PPV model (for tv at least) will die a slow death due to the internet. Internet PPV is the way to go!

    The bastards would probably put McGregor cards PPV.

    Conor signed a blog type deal with independent.ie for run up to fight. Joe.ie looks to be too small for him now

    Yeah but per individual word. The way Conor repeats himself he'll be lucky to make €17!

    We've been through this before. Nobody has exposed me and I pity your self esteem if I'm considered a loser.

    Irish bookies will have a shorter price as the market will be flooded on McGregor. Vegas will have Jose fav I would say.

    Was watching a documentary on the division last night and they showed 8 of Aldos top fights.

    He really is a machine, so quick, of course conor is aware of this but I still can't make my mind up.

    Unless I'm misreading oddschecker, Jose Aldo is underdog with Betfair and Betfair only.

    He could have saved himself some effort by just writing “me, me, me" a few hundred times.

    Actually really liked the article. Didn't really learn anything new but I loved this quote

    "They pay their hard-earned money in the hope to one day seeing me face down in a pool of my own blood. I remain victorious, cash their hard-earned money and wipe my a** with it."
