“For ‘Mr. Press Conference’ not to want to do a press conference is insane. They’re talking upwards of $8 (million), $9 million dollars he’s throwing away. I would literally ride a rocket ship to the moon for six months for $10 million to do a press conference.”
McGregor and his camp have argued that his job is to fight, not to promote. Cerrone disagrees. He feels that the media obligations are an important part of the sport.
“Our job is to entertain. That’s what we do; it’s part of the job. When you sign on the ‘X,’ I have to do all the media obligations for Ottawa (at UFC Fight Night 89). You think I want to? It’s just part of the job. It’s what we have to do.”Cerrone (29-7 MMA, 16-4 UFC) is scheduled to fight Patrick Cote (23-9 MMA, 10-9 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 89, but if Nate Diaz is looking for a opponent for UFC 200, Cowboy would be more than willing to be his dance partner.
“I’ll fight Diaz at 200, and I don’t need any more money."
