Who tf would want to go fight in a cage when you wake up on a lambo yacht
someone who wants to buy another yacht
@@handbrake7699😂😂😂 true
@@handbrake7699 He probably makes more money in a month from other business ventures and investments than he'd make from the Chandler fight 😂
It's insane that someone with that wealth still wants to fight in a cage.
Exactly. He should have retired a while ago. Mission more than accomplished. He got the titles, the fans, the millions. Only reason he keeps fighting is out of pride, but he shouldn't care about what people will say. He should retire cause there's no way he's as hungry as he was when he was coming up
"It's hard to wake up at 6am and run 2 miles when you're sleeping in silk sheets"
😂
You right but Floyd would go jogging after coming from a club while someone followed behind him in is rolls Royce 🤷
@demetrickcaldwell6124 he said it's hard not impossible. Floyd was different
Marvin Hagler rings a Bell.
Marvelous Marvin Hagler 💪🏾
100 mill will change anyone
Especially in the fight game
@@gilbertgarcia4965especially in a flip burger game 🤔
Money doesn’t change you. It only makes you more of what you already are.
Wouldn’t change me. Im one of the realest though.
Fasho💯😭🥳
Floyd never lost his discipline , Canelo hasn’t lost it either
Conor is a glorified street thug
true, as much of a crazy life floyd had, he had some of the best discipline in the sport history. I remember he waked up at 3 am or something lke that to run, some crazy stuff like that.
Facts I still see him in the gym
Yet he lives in an Arabian prison
Pacquiao as well.
Difference is Conor came from NOTHING. An unemployed plumber. Meanwhile, Brady goes to U of M, comes from great, supportive parents, grew up in Southern California. People that get rich when coming from nothing cannot manage their ego or finances. Brady had the luxury of love and support so money wasn’t everything.
@domwings4329 shut up!
Mgregor is from a decent working class family in Dublin. He had a good background and family.
What about floyd ?
That's not true of everyone that comes from nothing therefore it is not necessarily true here either
He’s from Northern California brotha, don’t disrespect the Bay like that again 😂
Heard Shannon sharpe say: money doesn’t change you it just makes you more of what your already were
Heard 50 Cent say: If money haven't changed you, then you just didn't make enough. LOL
Money is an amplifier
@@giftedimagesllc this is the truth
@@giftedimagesllc bingo💯😭😭
Money doesn't change you ,it reveals you .
"Dana, did getting $400M change you?"
"No.. I was always an a$$hole!"
😂😂😂
Dana is an awesome president.
$500M actually but yeah 🤣
Dana deserves that money
@@symbiote91 Yes that man is actually working really hard and it feels like he never having a free time.
Idc what they say bout Club Shay Shay. This is one of the most diverse interview platforms on YT. Salute 🫡
He avoided giving Floyd any credit
They can't help themselves and MAYWEATHER made more money and stayed more focused💯
Hate mayweather but his dedication is legendary ...facts
But let's not get it twisted it's a different game with less miles on the clock
Well Floyd beats on women so I wudnt either
@@40acresandatractorfocused on beating up women Lmaooo
@@7thswordsmenofthemist No doubt Dana beats women and Connor beats up old men and can't even do MMA anymore lmao🤣
Money changes the things you do in life, the things you tolerate. It doesn’t necessarily change you. It just amplifies who you were to begin with.
Training for the Mayweather fight changed Conor's fluid style. And the money definitely lost him focus
For sure I noticed that, you're one of few if any mention that
@@JDinero7023 literally everybody has mentioned that he lost that fluid bounce on his toes with that wide karate stance.
False…. Age and moving up weight class changed his style. Hard to bounce around for five rounds when you’re 10-20 pounds heavier. He would always gas out quickly.
He fought a flat footed “boxing style” TWICE vs Diaz which was before the Floyd fight.
One training camp doesn’t ruin your whole style. Using your logic, it would take only one training camp to get back to his old style.
@@fightsportspace7327You are right than a mf… I noticed as soon as he left featherweight, he stopped kicking almost entirely outside of occasional leg kicks… Great observation sir
@@fightsportspace7327 I don't think neither of those things are the reason. I think he just like the more boxing heavy style more and that's why he started to train it and using it more and more and than decided to have a boxing match. You're not gonna tell me 155 is too heavy to have a loose fight style lol. There are light heavy weights who fight like that.
Brady wasn’t getting punched in the face.
Exactly
Not like he was getting tackled by 300lb men or anything lol
@@zezeisonI was just about to say that
@@zezeison ask Greg Hardy which sport is worst 😂
@@Dumebi7278 with pads on. How about getting your lights shut off with a shin bone to the head. Not saying football players ain’t tough but nothing compares to hand to hand combat.
Money doesn't change you. It exposes your true nature and character.
Wrong
@@GBULL1982 Nope
Facts
wow such brilliant insight.
it changes the people around you which causes you to change or adapt to the entitlement mindset & attitudes from others…so eventually you have to change or be everyones doormat or get finessed out your new found riches!!!
This man Dana really had the audacity to say Conor is on the same level as Ali smh
yeah he's deluded.
Connor has brought millions and millions of new viewers to the UFC and backed up the talk. Changed the game forever
I’d say he’s definitely up there in the same echelon as Ali whether you like it or not
@@tanner4693hell no everybody knows ali in every country
@@tanner4693… he could have been but as soon as he reached his peak in success, he started failing and took a steep decline in his career. Ali stayed on top for a long time, he didn’t start racking up loses until late in his career when he got old & slower. Mcgregor decline was in his prime and he had no business losing to Nate Diaz.
And clowns in the chat are agreeing smh
There’s very few people on this earth that wouldn’t change after 100M. Brady is a rare case, dudes got a crazy work ethic and a deep love for the game.
Uncle Shannon the most thorough sports commentating in the Bussiness hands down ! I can hear the love n enthusiasm in his voice! Salute on your accomplishment hear on club ShayShay and threw out the sports world!😊
Kinda shocked no network has thrown money at him to bring that show on.
@KNByam they probably have but he owns this. If you go with a network they now own the show and have control of who you have on and what you say.
I love Shannon too❤ proffesional and shay is humble too ❤❤my dog the big teammate!!!
@@Cashelda not after macafee show. They can pay to put his show on their network.
Dana: Its boxers who call UFC fighters out, not the second ones
Meanwhile: UFC fighters making more money for 1 boxing match than they ever gonna do in the UFC for their entire careers
That’s if they are a household name.
If paige vanzant never went UFC she would have never made her money in OF . If Francis never joined UFC he would have never got a boxing match
Ufc has 200 fighters imagine paying them all 5 to 10 mil each lol tho they do deserve more
@@simonlee498 200? lmao more like 500-600
And the promoter didn’t profit off that fight.
I respect Connor cus he came from nothing n now he is set for life
He had something
Floyd made that clown
Amazing. His life is really set now with your respect
@@tristonporter3524😂😂😂
I would have respected him if he didn’t become a violent loser. Assault cases against women and old men, assault against other UFC fighters outside the cage. Then he let the money ruin his gift for fighting, he lost his love for the sport.
Muhammad Ali said that if you are the same person after 30 years then you just wasted 30 years of life. Your suppose to change and changing for money isn’t always a bad thing.
Wish Shanon could have interviewed Kevin Samuel’s
That hurts.
Would have been THE big episode before Kat Williams.
That would’ve been big never thought of that
I think getting 100million and realize you do not have to be a bloody pulp vs being a protected qb and not changing because you know you are protected so much you can play into your 40s is two totally different scenarios that should not be compared
well said
Also during Tom's prime playing years, his wife was worth more money than him. It's easier to take paycuts and player friendly contracts where your wife is worth half a billion. All the other players and fighters don't have that luxury, most of the others is an expense.
Still credit to tom Brady bro.
Bunch of people might struggle to go up to a 9 to 5 after 1 million
Floyd stayed hungry 🤷🏿♂️
@@Bookerjj brady was taking pay cuts before gisele
Floyd got that man paid, like he did for Manny and plenty other people. Otherwise, Conor would've been fighting as we text.
Conor could sell a fight better than any fighter Floyd has faced
LMAO Manny was one of the highest paid athletes in the world already before Mayweather
In that fight, Mayweathers purse was huge also, and that was because his opponent was Manny. It wasn't a huge fight because Mayweather was there it was a huge boxing match because Mayweather and Manny were there.
McGegor was making about 4 mil per fight in the UFC before Floyd. Stop talking nonsense.
Considering he’s worth over 200 million, he’d still be fine without Floyd
Conor became a character he built which eventually caused his demise in the sport. Khabib finished his career.
It wasn't his Denise, he just wasn't that good
@@malcolmkeith816& he was smart enough to realize hes not 1 of the best so he started leveraging his personality soon as he got a chance, he been on point since the beginning
Regardless of his skills, he took the ufc to heights they’d never seen before. Period.
I think Connor won in life
After Khabib this man was never the same
Mr. Sharpe I had your jersey growing up, some of my earliest memories are of sitting around the TV after church with the family watching you and our Broncos winning back to back chip seasons. I was devastated when you went to the Ravens cause I was young and didn't understand the business element of it. I put up with your previous co-host just to hear your takes and I am so happy to see your success in the commentary space. The entire NFL fanbase is better off for it. Keep at it Shay Shay!
As a Mexican fan, thank you for putting this together and recognizing our fight culture, Dana 🙏🏽🇲🇽
I noticed that 🙏🏼
A fan of Mexicans?😂...just joking😂
I think the lost to Khabib changed Mcgregor
I actually think it started with his encounters against Nate Diaz
Agree ! it'S what made him the woman he is today
Casual
@@itsyoboigucci7578 enlighten us casuals then, oh so mighty lord of ufc
as a casual MMA fan that casually watches UFC headliner fights, i know for a 100% fact that getting tapped out by Diaz was the beginning of Conman McTapper's decline
George Forman I believe made more money outside of boxing than he did while boxing
Foreman made more money just from the foreman grill.
Different times
Right
He got lucky, Hulk Hogan was suppose to do it.
This has nothing to do with nothing😂
reading this title got me wondering how I missed the Floyd v Tom Brady bout!
Right 😂
Equating things that aren’t even equal 💀that’s crazy
@@Char.Ad23he’s speaking on their character goofies
Shannon you're great! I only watched Undisputed because of you. Glad you have your own channel now.
Obviously, Dana was not interested in replying to the Francis Ngannou question.
Ali influence was next level in comparison 2 Connor McGregor
He's not comparing there influence though is he .
The way Conor managed to cook ever opponent verbally and make it hilarious to watch is definitely up there, he was so funny and witty he could’ve been a comedian let alone a fighter
Ironically the closest to Ali in magnitude is actually khabib not Conor. Khabib is a man of principle and not afraid to speak sense same way Ali was. I hate the comparison of Conor to Ali, it's so disrespectful to Ali to compare him to some beligrant uneducated alcoholic.
If you make $100M and still “act like you’re broke” then that’s how greed begins 💀
Nicely put.
Or maybe you think about your legacy
Not really. It's called keeping your ego in check
Nah
True sometimes
NFL kickers making more than a UFC star
Thank you!
One is the number one sport in the nation, the other is not 😂
And that's surprising to you????
You must be delusional number 1😂@@charleskavoukjian3441
Kickers have harder training camps bro
Money doesn't change someone, it simply amplifies certain characteristics of the person.
Shannon is an excellent interviewer. Asks the question and lets the interviewee answer without constant interruption. Like two buddies having a conversation.
His laugh is so cute too
Money doesn’t change you. You have to change to get the money.
Never heard it like this before but it’s true.
Money just will make you more of what you already are
That makes no sense.. in regards to Conor, he was always a brash, arrogant kid who loved fighting and training.. once he made all of his money, he became an alcoholic, an addict, all bark but no bite.. people literally feel sorry for who he has become, despite all of the money
@@andyw8064the 100m got him more money though with the other deals he had I have said it countless times that Conor should retire he has lost the desire
That’s true for some, false for some. Mcgregor grew up fighting and made it a career, he never had to change his ways. What you are talking about is more for the average person working a regular 9 to 5 looking to earn more money.
Tom Brady had a wife who made bank. He had a unique situation. I don't think that option is open to most athletes. They have to provide for their family.
I cant stand when people bring brady up as if everyone has these same circumstances like its ridiculous
@@Keithwilsonjr757hate is very strong word but I get it
And brady was still make 20+ mil a year in football while taking "discounts" to help the team. So he wasnt sacrifiing financially at all
Ya, I'm sure their families will die of poverty if they only take the 100 million dollar contract as opposed to holding out for 110 million.
but so did he. The other athletes choose not to marry rich women because their stupid.
Floyd literally did this. Made more than Brady and McGregor combined and never let it go to his head.
Wrong. Money change Floyd.
@@vaughnreedjr6592maybe his ego but NEVER his work ethic hater
Facts he stayed grinding
@@rrosedalechonies9437get off his meat
Ufc ain't boxing you don't pick and chop who you want to fight if floyd was in conor position to fight a khabib he won't fight him
Such a great interview. This channel delivers some of the best interviews nowadays. Shannon and Joe Rogan are Top Tier. Ain't nobody touching them.
TERRANCE OUT
Great questions shannon you inspire me with the interviews i do to ask the questions most people dont - love the how do you find location venues - God bless brother!
1:08 it did help that his wife was worth $500 million
Whose wife
@@crazypato3752Slap Jesus
@@crazypato3752probably referring to Tom Brady’s wife
I mean he was a millionaire before her
@@DonaldMeyers-v8c is true that she cheated on him with her BJJ coach ?
Conor made the UFC must watch. If he wants to hang it up and enjoy life, good for him
Connor made more in that 1 fight then he did his whole UFC career Dana just cant handle Boxing making a come back most intrest its had in a while now the UFC slowing down
I agree, well my interest has gone away from UFC anyway
How do you get keyboards with no punctuation keys? Everyone I've ever had has them.
Shannon shape has shown a lot of improvement as a journalist. I remember when he first started in television. It shows he puts in work and takes it serious
I just bought a vibrating bed...now you haven't slept until you've been vibrated to sleep. Now, i need silk sheets to top it off!😅😅😅😅
Great interview SHAY
People forget about Chael Sonnen. He gave Conor the blueprint
Ok
I'm willing to bet my George Forman grill. Someone else has been able to make more outside the ring 😅
I see what u did
That's even more money in today's world
Dana knew Floyd fight will end Conors UFC superstardom, he had no choice but to sign off on it.
Money doesn’t change people, it brings out who they Truly are
It is possible not to change.... But money shows the real side off a human who they are !!
Floyd made way more than that and kept going.
Unc. I would love to see you get Lauren London on and do a special with her on the late GREAT Nipsey Hussle. His song is so iconic to start your epic show each time. I think a full thought out piece immortalizing him and giving his flowers would be a Masterpiece. Much love and respect to you, the show is Excellent.
This needs to be top comment.
Thing is Floyd and Brady had the same big pay cheques to go to. Mcgregor made more than 90% of his money outside the UFC. Why would he return.
The amount of energy Dana has, is immeasurable!
DANA ASKS FOR THE “SPEAR”. SO THE SPHERE IS PROBABLY STILL AVAILABLE.
good one
He asked for the Spear and Diddy walked in the room.
LeBron,Tom,Floyd the list is short
Jordan
Tom to me is not like the others. Lebron,Floyd need more skill sets and have more control over the game. Tom is only as good as his team and just has a good arm.
Messi
LeBron 😂 Sorry, can't take this take serious...Jordan is the pure definition of success!!!
Ronaldo, Messi
$100m did not change him…it magnified what he was
When you prioritize money.. kills motivation to be physically great when that greatness causes lots of pain
So he made under 100 million for 14 UFC fights? And Dana got the nerve to brag about UFC doing way better numbers than boxing???
Make it make sense.
Did Dana compared McGregor to Ali? Huh... This guy Dana must be high.
Comparing them On trash talking and mental warfare.
Chael Sonnen is up there, too, for hyping up a fight
3:35 last fight was in July 2021 against Dustin Poirier
Yea I peeped that too
Money dosent change people, it simply reveals who they really are.
Conner did a great job in the Roadhouse remake!!
He carried the whole movie.
Whos Conner? Never heard of that guy
Dana hates Floyd
Be hatin on that mane
I hate when people say money changes people, no it doesn’t it just amplifies who you already are as a person
What if 100 mil fell in your lap?
It'll change where you live, what you drive, where you vacation, where you eat, how others look at you and are perceived. Saying money doesn't change you, is one of those stupid clichés that dummies puke up... because they're dummies.
People saying Floyd never lost his discipline; he came from a family of Boxers. It's in his blood and he'll do it until he can't anymore.
Conor came from a completely different path of life.
Marvin Hagler said it best it's hard to get up at 5am to do road work when you just climbed out of silk sheets
Unc is killin it...
A blind man could tell you that
He last fought July 2021.
Regardless of how crazy he is now, he was so important to changing MMA pay for the better, from the way fighters are paid per main events, to more spectacle dream match-ups, fighters getting more side deals in movies, and commercials, and appearance fees, plus what he's done for boxers getting more crossover fight money. People fill UFC events in person exponentially more than before Conor came into the game too.
Dana White versus Joe Rogan, make it happen!
Dana doesn’t want that
So Floyd is not an example
I think he was probably cocky BeFORE the 100M
Yes he was. Look at the build up against Poirer part 1 Denis Siver Chad Mendes and Aldo
Incredible interview, but hold up for 1 sec. Connor and Ali were NOT the same level of trash talk. Ali was on another level
Floyd Mayweather should be the shining example of this. A combat sport for 20 years, fought other hall of fame fighter regularly into his late 30s already with loads of money, tougher competition than Canelo fought. Stayed maniacally dedicated for two decades. Canelo, Cotto, Pacquiao at the end , and two wars with a violent fighter like Maidana… underrated
Money doesn't change people. It reveals who they really are and the amount magnifies who you really are
Unc…fighting in a cage is far more dangerous to your health than playing QB.
A lot of people would quit after getting 100 Million and enjoy life.
MMA, UfC is not playing football. One kick or one punch and you end in a wheelchair.
its hard to stay motivated when you reached the top. became a double champ in UFC then earned 100 million in 1 boxing fight. there is nothing left to prove.
Any body acting like receiving $100million wouldn't change them, is a fool.
$100 million bottle of Gatorade would probably quench my thirst too...
Hey…..Conor lived in like the richest part of Lucan since he was 10 years old. He 100% isn’t from the getho. His family got out along time before Conor made it in the UFC
Money doesn’t change you it just amplifies who you really are
One day somebody will interview Al Haymon. He has been flying under the radar for over 40 years making millions of dollars in the sports and entertainment industry. The guy is a ghost to the average person.
Dana White is a man's man! I love the way he spoke in this interview, minus all the causing.
One hundred million changes everything. You can do what you want, when you want, where you want.
If Conor still has stock in his Liquor company then that’s just another reason why Conor might feel like he doesn’t need UFC anymore
Big difference between leading a team and throwing a football and getting tackled every so often versus getting punched and kicked in the face and choked out.
100m doesn't change anyone. It only reveals who you truly are.
Floyd Mayweather made 100m almost every fight ever since he left Golden Boy and stayed disciplined and undefeated but people hate Floyd so much they wont give him the credit.
Floyd cherry picked all his fights. He never fought anyone dangerous n they prime. Don’t give Floyd’s record any respect he ran 80% had numerous cheap shots where he gained an advantage n won. He made his money give him that but his boxing career was cherry picked
Floyd fought business Smart ...
He didn't want head trauma the rest of his life !! He was very smart ; fight iq was levels above everyone else
Dana : MGM is the greatest arena ever built! / Colosseum : Sigh...
Theres a big difference between the NFL, getting tackle, and 1v1 cage fighting at the absolute highest level.
I use to dislike Dana a lot when I was younger. Always thought he was really egotistical, but as I've gotten older I've learned to respect him. His a really intelligent dude and has done so much for the sport. I think I was too young to understand his thoughts and why he carried himself the way he did.
Dana White is a beast. Respect for all the things this man is able to overcome and deliver. A true giant of mankind.
Floyd got the ultimate gift of gab. You got to compare him first. He made me want to really watch a whole fight early
The difference between a Mcgregor and a Brady is the motivation. Mcgregor was motivated by the money, Brady was motivated by the rings.
Dana is the man!!! He’s done so much for the sports world!!! And continues to come up with new ways to entertain us!!!!
I hate the TB comparison because the QB is the most protected person on the field and barely get touched..
