Say what you want about Conroy McClodagh but he is a clever businessman who knows how to promote and create attention.
Which is why he got the Floydweather fight so quickly.
In a short time, Clodagh went from a Plumber to Forbes
Feeling bad for all the real boxers who will never fight Mayweather does not mean that I resent Connor hitting the jackpot. I want everybody to succeed. When they do, not only do they benefit themselves but they benefit so many others. Connor not only generated get wealth for himself but for everybody involved in putting this show together. Not only that, he has brought real money into the sport just like Ali did for boxing and what Rhoda Rousey did for female MMA.
Many people resent when someone or something is successful. They think they got there by stepping on other people as they climb the ladder. That it's a zero-sum game. Their gain is someone else's loss. Walmart gets accused of putting the mom and pop shops out of business. LOL, they don't force anybody to shop at their stores or go in and shut down the mom and pop businesses. They are accused of hoarding and controlling the majority of the retail market share. Again, LOL. They don't control jack. We do. The consumers. If Walmart raised their prices 25% across the board then you'll see just how much they really control the "market share."
When a person or a business is successful it means they are providing a good or service that people want and are willing to pay for. It's win-win.
I always chuckle at the end of Connor's UFC debut. During his post-fight interview with Rogan when he yells out, "Dana, 60Gs baby!"
That never gets old.
