There's something about MMA contracts that is enforceable. Rampage tried to fight with the UFC (he thought Bellator breached the contract, making him a free agent), but the court ruled that his contract with Bellator was still valid, and because it was still valid, the court prevented him from fighting with the UFC.

Someone brought up another fact on this silly Conor rumor. Even if he wasn't under contract, there is not an athletic commission in the United States that would sanction a bout between a 49-0 world champion, and a fighter with a record of 0-0.

But IMO this isn't about him boxing, it's about him trying to prove to the ufc they aren't the only way he would ever be in the position he's in right now financially.
Funny it's the same amount that he was getting for diaz... |

Dana laughed off the rumor in an interview and said its not true.
Some clever reporter contacted Bovada, and they said that if this fight actually happened, they would set the opening line at Floyd -2000, Conor +900

And it would still be a solid bet to put everything you own on Mayweather.

I would bet Mayweather at -50000. I highly doubt McGregor has boxing skills on par with the 50th ranked welterweight in the world, let alone Mayweather.

keep in mind, lines are set based on how they think people will bet. You gotta keep the stupid horde of Irish fans in mind, you might not need much more than +900 to attract money on his side.

They have a lot of time to kill now. This isn't scheduled to end for another 45 minutes, and they only have the main event left.

Overeem dropped Arlovski with a jumping front kick to the chin. All the Dutch fighters on the main card dominated, the crowd was going bananas.

Bigfoot needs to retire and Reem looks like a killing machine, def. think he gets the next HW title fight.
