Saw on a youtube video, Khabib and his team are asking for $10 million for the Conor fight.

In Conor v Nate 2:
Conor got $3 million plus $8-10 mill from PPV
Nate got $2 million plus around $1 mill from PPV

Can Khabib get this kind of money? I don't think the market will support that much. I believe he can get $5 mill guaranteed though, with no PPV. Conor will sell the fight and get PPV numbers up, and probably get a similar deal to his second fight with Nate.

No way he is that big of a draw

Whats the highlight of his career?

How much did this bring in total? This is absurd for him.

Khabib would kill McGregor

Says you.

But the average viewer has never seen him fight. He's a nobody in the grand scheme of sports. He's a very talented nobody though.

Watching how Conor picked apart Nate and Eddie, I'm very curious how Khabib gets inside for take down attempts without getting caught. I expect a lot of kicks right up the middle from Conor, and knees too, looking to catch Khabib coming in.

They are talking October 6th for the fight, I believe. That doesn't seem like enough time to market this to get the PPV numbers up. Maybe that's workable though.

No way, not guaranteed anyway.

UFC ppv numbers have been way down lately also.

Honestly I think Conor vs Ferguson sells just as many ppv as khabib.

Idk. Conor is a rare breed and Khabib doesn't have great defense.

Those aren't "Khabib would kill McGregor" odds.

He leaves that chin exposed too much. You can't make that mistake against McGregor

And Conor hasn't fought in a decade.
Figured it'd be worse than that.

Lol have you ever seen Khabib fight?

If he gets his hands on Connor he will maul him

Khabib's a hell of a guy to work out the kinks with. But I don't think Conor is a guy that takes anyone lightly. He comes ready to party every time.

Hopefully they make the fight before the end of the year. Maybe the NYE show, with Dustin v Tony featured on the main card, as well.

Every single one of his UFC fights. I'm a huge fan.

Maybe. And if Conor connects like he's been known to do, Khabib could get KO'd.

His defense isn’t that bad and he’s a smart fighter

He is a smart fighter, but his striking defense isn't very good. Leave your head high and dry against Conor and he'll put you on queer street.

If I had to give a prediction, I'd say Khabib via 2nd or 3rd round sub. But you can't count Conor out. He's get steel in his hands.
