LFCMike Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Shame that Ward/Kovalev and Golovkin/Canelo won't get as much attention as this farce.
True Blue Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Not much better than WWE, only less entertaining.
True Blue Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Just now, Cannabis said: WWE is for grown men who sit in their flat eating Wotsits in their pants. Well this match is for fan boys who don't have a clue about either MMA or Boxing. Mayweather will ease to a win while Conor would win it by the MMA rules. They will both earn shit loads, Conor will get so much that he will probably never fight again.

Once the fight starts he tackles Mayweather to the ground and gets a good 3-4 punches in before he gets pulled off. It costs Conor a lot of money apparently. It's stipulated in the contract he'll lose millions if he throws s kick or elbow, Connor would rape him in mma. I think Floyd knows this, Conor will get beat but anything other than complete destruction from Mayweather is kind of a victory for McGregor.

The only thing keeping this on in Boxing is the aura McGregor has around him that he can do pretty much whatever he says he will. I'm not a boxing expert at all but Mayweather has fought some of the best boxers in the world and they've struggled to get near him. If anything it's an excuse to see the greatest P4P boxer have one more fight, that's all I'm looking forward to.
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted July 11, 2017 Subscriber Posted July 11, 2017 Anyone see the opening press conference? As a massive fan of both boxing and the UFC, I couldn't not watch. McGregror could sell absolutely anything, he's such a legend. Also check out his suit
Rick Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Press conference was shoddy as fuck, Showtime should have given the promotion job to Dana White and the UFC, at least it would have been entertai ing. The fact that McGregors mic was turned during Mayweathers speech was a joke.

UFC has to market itself and it's fights as it does because compared to Boxing nobody watches it, Boxing doesn't need that style of promotion and it'd just seem desperate.

The fight does sell itself, but I'd also like to see a bit of back and forth between the two fighters instead of them just being able to take pot shots while the other stays silent.

They're more "entertaining" than the fights for a start. They just sit there slagging each other off about random shit, I know boxers do it but that's not the point of the press conference. You don't need all of that with Boxing, it's one of the most marketable sports on the planet. Just let it happen naturally.
True Blue Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Floyd by murder hopefully, no in seriousness this should be a very easy job for Floyd. Pro boxing is a different world to MMA, and most semi pro boxers would make Conor look shit. Then again if Conor wins by any chance the fans boys will end this world.
Cicero Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Should be a two leg affair. One boxing and one MMA. But Mayweather would be too much of a pussy to do it.

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted July 12, 2017 Subscriber Posted July 12, 2017 He's selling the fight and he has to make people believe he may actually win.
UNORTHODOX Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 He will lose in spectacular fashion then try and be Floyd's best mate after the fight like he did with Diaz.
Danny Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 In fairness to McGregor he's generally respectful to his opponent whether he wins or loses. Like apologising to Aldo for how it ended.
Fairy In Boots Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Conor has slaughtered him so far in the slanging matches. I fucking love a bit of needle manufactured or not it's hugely entertaining.
Fairy In Boots Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 It's 95% guaranteed Mayweather victory, but I've had £5 on Conor in the 4th @ 25/1 because I've learned Conor is special. "Why have you got a school bag you can't even read" had me howling last night as did him telling the showtime executive he was a "fookin weasel" more entertaining than Floyds last 5 fights combined
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted July 14, 2017 Subscriber Posted July 14, 2017 Yeah but whatever any of you say... is there a more mentally strong and confident sportsman? I'm a boxing geek and I'm boxing over UFC but he's an absolute legend.
Machado Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Thrash fight. Non contest that shouldn't be added to either's record as it's going to be a sparring session and McGregor is not a boxer. For 100M$ I wouldn't mind getting humiliated in front of the world mind. How great would it be if Conor landed a spin kick to Floyd's face and got DQed though. Maybe that's what he means by "it won't last 4 rounds". It's what Floyd deserves for cherry picking this hard tbh. Anyway, it's funny the garbage you read on the internet. People thinking McGregor can actually KO Mayweather. I doubt he believes it himself.
Rick Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Connor murdered Mayweather in the Wembley press conference tonight...absolutely destroyed. I can't wait for this fight, and as stupid as it us to say, if McGregor catches Floyd with one sweet left hook....who knows, we know how strong Connor is.
LFCMike Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 If, if, if. Some of the best boxers over the last couple of decades couldn't get near Mayweather. Now people are thinking that there's a chance that the equivalent of a novice pro (at best) could? I'm amazed at how many get drawn in by the cringey build up and then think that there's a chance of this being some kind of contest.
Rick Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Listen, I know it's 99% gonna be a Mayweathers win but there's always a chance...always. if McGregor manages to avoid getting ko'd and somehow takes it to a decision then he will have achieved something amazing against one if the best ever. That however, is a big mountain to climb if Mayweather wants to prove a point.
LFCMike Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 If it goes the distance, it wouldn't be a surprise. Mayweather's last stoppage win was 2011 and you have to go back to 2007 before that. If it goes the distance, it doesn't necessarily means it's been a meaningful contest. It just means that Mayweather didn't go for the KO (or rather couldn't because of the state of his hands).
