Conor McGregor reacted to the UFC continuing to hold him off the UFC 200 card on Friday, responding on Twitter while the press conference was on-going.

Penick’s Analysis: It’s a salient point from McGregor (though the number is significantly inflated), and is why it shouldn’t matter in this moment whether it’s “fair” or “right” to the other fighters who flew in for the press event.
