Conor aims to beat $ record set by ‘old motherf@$%ers’ MayPac
Conor McGregor on breaking record set by MayPac: “I’m only 27. Them old motherf@$%ers were 40 before they got that. I’m only warming up!”
UFC feathwerweight champion Conor McGregor predicted he would beat Jose Aldo via left counter to a hard right, within four minutes. He beat Jose Aldo via a left counter to a hard right, in 13 seconds.
At the post-fight press conference, Mystic Mac made another prediction. It was in fact the second post-fight press conference. At the first one, UFC head of PR Dave Sholler ran the media questions for a panel of main event fighters.
Then everyone left and Conor McGregor take over, by himself. He began by thanking the UFC for having done such a good job behind the scenes, adding that they don’t get enough credit for it.
He then predicted that he would surpass the fight revenue numbers set when the now retired undefeated boxer Floyd MayweatherJr. fought eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao in May.
“I’m catching up. I’m only 27,” said McGregor, as transcribed by Miguel Vasquez. “Them old motherf—ers were 40 before they got that. I’m only warming up!”
“At 27 years of age, I stand here, the unified world champion. Back-to-back MGM gate records. This is trending as the highest pay-per-view, Sholler I believe said, of all time for the UFC.”
