I know boxing is big business but the UFC is now a major sporting event, especially over the pond. Love him or hate him but Conor ' The Notorious ' McGregor is pure box office. He sells more tickets than any other fighter and his following guarantees massive pay per view figures fo those who can't travel across the pond. UFC 205 is a new milestone with a full card of champions and former champions and for the first time ever it is being staged at Madison Square Garden. Just watch this press conference before the worlds press and it's almost embarassing. All elite level fighters but all the questions are directed at McGregor. Tyson Fury could learn a lot from this guy.

He has said it is there to be made but it will only happen if Fury is stripped of his belts and they are on the table, Klitschko is desperate for it apparently as time is running out for him and Fury has cocked him up with his 2 withdrawals.
