Conor: FMJ and GSP couldn’t draw like me at 26
“Do you think they’re on this level? Do you think at 26 years of age, they had all these records, all these numbers? Not even Floyd was 26 and drawing these numbers.”
Former UFC champion George St-Pierre was the undisputed king of PPV in mixed martial arts. Floyd Mayweather is the king of PPV, and the highest paid athlete in sports. However, according to UFC interim featherweight champion Conor McGregor, 26, they weren’t doing as well as he is when they were his age.
“As far as them searching for stars, since Georges and Anderson (left), bring Georges and Anderson back,” said McGregor as transcribed by Dave Doyle for MMAFighting.com. “Do you think they’re on this level? Do you think at 26 years of age, they had all these records, all these numbers? Not even Floyd was 26 and drawing these numbers.”
“I have the game in the palm of my hand, and I know it, and they know it, and they know I know it. So, it’s interesting times. Life is good.”
