Conor McGregor's next fight will probably be against Tony Ferguson in Las Vegas

It's probably going to be Tony Ferguson in Las Vegas. But we do want to do Croke Park. The reason we haven't done Croke Park yet with Conor is because we can't get it done over there... they have noise ordinances.

McGregor's next fight was actually against Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in October 2018. He never fought Tony Ferguson.

The Giants are probably better without Odell Beckham Jr.

Should we just embrace debate right now? Are the Giants better without Odell Beckham? Hmm. Probably.

The 2017 Giants finished 3-13. While they won their first game without Odell in this episode, they were historically worse without their star receiver.

Aaron Rodgers has become complacent and needs a backup to challenge him

Aaron Rodgers, I'm just going off my eyeballs here, he seems like a guy that can get complacent. That's just my working theory. So if he has someone who has taken the first four rounds behind him [Brett Hundley], then he has to show up on time.

Subjective opinion on Rodgers' mental state, but Rodgers continued to be the face of the franchise and arguably the league's best QB for several more years before any real 'complacency' narratives took hold in the 2020s.

The NFL is much worse without Aaron Rodgers

I do think the NFL is much worse without [Rodgers] because we already have a league with very few good quarterbacks, and Aaron Rodgers is probably the best one in the NFL.

General consensus among fans and analysts is that losing elite star talent degrades the quality of the league product.

Pay-per-view is definitely not dead

Pay-per-view isn't dead. I mean, I'm gonna do a pay-per-view this Saturday. And when we were doing this deal, you know, even with the streaming services that we were talking to all the different ones, some of them still had pay-per-view options. So pay-per-view is not dead. That's not true.

The health of the PPV industry is a complex economic reality that remains to be seen in the long term.

Fighter pay has increased with every new deal and will continue to go up with the Paramount Plus deal

Since 2001, the day we bought this company fighter pay has gone up. Every new deal that we've done, fight, pay has gone up and obviously fight or pay will go up for this deal. It's incredible for the fighters.

While total pay has increased as the business grows, critics often point to the percentage of revenue shared with fighters, making the 'increase' a point of debate.

Power Slap is the most successful business I have ever been part of in such a short time

The most successful business I've ever been a part of in such a short amount of time. [Power Slap]

Hard to verify without internal financials, but Dana has consistently staked his reputation on this claim.
