GSP vs. McGregor Bigger Than Mayweather vs. McGregor? Nope | Luke Thomas


Would Georges St-Pierre vs. Conor McGregor be a bigger pay-per-view success than the boxing-MMA crossover fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor? GSP’s coach Firas Zahabi believes it might be possible. In this clip from my radio show, I explain why the data likely doesn’t support that idea.

  1. Diaz vs McGregor 3 needs to be for a belt. No belt=1.5 million buys. belt=1.8 million buys. Ideally Conor fights the winner of Fergy and Khabib. God willing he wins that, he can fight Nate for the 155 lbs belt to complete the Trilogy. Nate would of couyrse have to also win a fight against a top 10 before that happens.

  2. Floyd x cm punk would be bigger. GSP x khabib is the most interesting potential gsp fight

  3. "Conor vs GSP is a competitive fight"
    I can't believe adult people with a degree of mma expertise aren't embarassed saying this

  4. Bigger for fightfans not a bigger PPV because casuals rule the PPV records and casuals only know Mayweather and McGregor as the biggest stars. They don't know who GSPis , the dude has only fought once in the past 5 years or so cmon, they had to be into the ufc years ago to recall who GSP is.
    GSP is a consistent huge draw for fight fans but when talking about records he isn't gonna deliver like Mayweather vs McGregor I'm sorry thats just a fucking lie.

  5. GSP VS MCGREGOR WOULD BE TERRIBLE. THERES SO MANY FANS THAT DONT CARE WETHER GEORGE IS FIGHTING OR NOT. AND SAME WITH CONOR.

  6. But why should we care about PPV buys? These conversations are getting tiresome.

  7. I think about the only Knockouts in GSP fights are him getting knocked out by Sarah
