NEWSFLASH!
FIFA have decided to change the rules for the 2018 World Cup. Reigning Champions Germany will go straight into a Final and can choose their opponents. They have decided to defend their title against the New Zealand All Blacks Rugby team.
FIFA representative Mr. Smashuppio from the republic of Cuckoo land said "This is great news for Football as it will generate billions of pounds and is being played under Football rules."
Other "experts" and "Fans"have said "New Zealand are a major force in their sport and have iconic status, this will generate unheralded interest from around the Globe, and MAYBE, just maybe, the All Blake will knock them out!"
That all sounds reasonable enough, doesn't it?
You fucking bunch of MUGS!
Mugs is a bit strong so wind your fucking neck in
I have already stated that this is a "Joke Fight" and one that Floyd could win "One Armed" so that's what my thoughts on this "Event" say about me which is the same view as most purists like yourself.
What i have also said is that this "Miss Match" is Massive in terms of being an Event/Spectacle and will eclipse any Boxing PPV in History and also generate more money than any other Boxing event in History.
When i say it is good for Boxing i mean it because it is, UFC slaughters Boxings viewing figures and has done for years now and this will massively raise the profile of some of Boxings current World Champions such as Gervonta Davis and serve him up to an audience way way bigger than anything he could be purely in Boxing circles.
Like i have already said..... This is purely about $$$$$$$ and Business and Floyd has made everything in favour of Boxing and Not UFC.
You need to see this for what it is and realise Boxing is a business first and a sport second, always has been and always will be ;)
If you don't like it then do a "Geoffrey" @Gandalf and don't watch it.

Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
I've got no interest in the fight, I'll order it if it has a good undercard and a few fights I don't want to miss but if it is nobodies I've never heard of I won't be buying it just to watch the main event.

ive read in places people slagging "boxing purists" for slagging this fight
ive seen mcgreggor spar, fair enough just one video, but from that I don't think he would make it to championship level
might get a bit of luck and fight for and maybe win a irish or commonwealth title
only way mcgreggor can make it an interesting fight if he just goes for it big time, a few rounds of windmills till he gets caught
at least that would be funny

Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
mcgreggor hasn't even got any size advantage

I would love it if McGregor does go wild on Floyd, just love it.
It will be fun watching Floyd justifying this fight, saying the world demanded it and it is what fight fans wanted.

Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
Speaking last month, boxing legend Oscar de la Hoya said the contest was "a farce" and "a circus" and feared the impact it would have on the sport.
"My interest is in the health of boxing as a whole," said De la Hoya, who won world titles in six different weight categories, in an open letter posted on Facebook.
"Floyd's and Conor's motivation is clear. It's money. In fact, they don't even pretend it's not.
"When the fight ends up being the disaster that is predicted, afterwards neither of them will need [boxing] any more. Floyd will go back to retirement and Conor will go back to the UFC. It's a win-win for them. It's a lose-lose for us.
"If you thought Mayweather/Pacquiao was a black eye for our sport - a match-up between two of the best pound-for-pound fighters that simply didn't deliver - just wait until the best boxer of a generation dismantles someone who has never boxed competitively at any level - amateur or professional.
"Our sport might not ever recover." :o

Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
The betting odds are utterly ridiculous.
Floyd is 1/7 with Paddy Power. For some perspective - that is virtually the same price as Eubank jr to beat Abraham or Zeuge to beat Smith or for an even more nuts comparison Joshua is 1/25 to beat Parker!!!
A fella making his boxing debut has the same chance of beating Floyd as proven world champions do of upsetting their next opponents. What?
-
Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
The reaction is interesting. Experts "Connor won't win but I want to see what happens", but I'm just amazed at MMA fans because they have no clue. They have no idea how much better boxers are with their hands. "He's been training boxing for years", so has my fiancé but that doesn't mean she can f'n box.

Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
Joke of a fight, but what else would you expect from Mayweather? It's all sizzle no steak, this is 100% about the build up for all the fucking idiot fans of trash talk :shakehead:
May as well just watch some old school pro wrestling, at least that is entertaining
-
Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
I don't know shit about this UFC lark but i'm gathering this chop suey's punching power is frightening? I'm pretty sure Floyd's sparko percentage would be a little higher if he fought in those knuckle dusters.

I watched a short video a while back which was exploring the power advantages over bigger gloves all the way down to bare knuckle, the difference wasn't as great as you'd expect.

Maybe or maybe he'd break his hands more often as he did early on in his career.

Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
If Mayweather goes to 50-0 because of this, boxing should be abolished once and for all.

Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
I see they're wearing ten ounce gloves just in case the leprechaun does manage to land something half decent. I'll still be watching though. There'll be at least two half decent fights on the undercard.

Well I disagree with that, I do think Floyd Mayweather Jr has done himself and his legacy no favors at all with this fight....if he decided to fight Conor in the Octagon then fuckin more power to the guy, not saying he'd HAVE to grapple but to go on another fighter's turf and beat him is different than inviting him to your turf and beating him.
If Floyd believes he is the greatest of all-time then he'd be better served fighting GGG (win, lose, or draw) than Conor Mac fullstop!

Here's hoping Conor eats his Lucky Charms before this bout, I ain't paying a single penny for it, but I'll be cheering once again for a Floyd loss because the fucking audacity that bastard has to think this is a real honest to God fight and not a sparring session....this is going to be less competitive than the Ray Robinson vs Willie Pep exhibition bout.

Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
Fuck me.....
What sort of idiots truly believe that Floyd is doing this for any other reason than to make a shitload of dollar?
He's using/playing McGregor like a fool here.
Everything about this is Boxing not UFC... Floyd is completely running the show from the undercard that is only featuring boxers to the fact that it's at Floyds chosen weight and under the Queensbury rules with huge gloves if your CM.
The pair of them are hoodwinking everyone big time.
Circus - Yes
Entertainment factor - Massive.
This is an Event to make money not a competitive Boxing match.

Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
Floyd Mayweather Jr 49-0-0 vs Conor McGregor 0-0-0
I really cannot tell you how much I dislike this fight
-
Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
I'm thrilled this fight is happening!
A guy at work is willing to wager $500 even payout with me that McGregor wins.
Watching this fight in a bar full of UFC chumps who are expecting McGregor to steamroller Floyd will be the cherry on top of the summer! Almost as satisfying as watching Floyd school Pac in front of a bunch of dumbass Pactards with no concept of greatness or skill.
-
Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
I'm starting to look forward to it too Rocco. Watching people give legitimacy to irrelevant things "if Floyd goes 50-0...." who cares about 50-0, it's meaningless?
"People are being hoodwinked" actually they aren't. Floyd and Connor are completely up front with the fact it is only about money. If they were saying Connor is the 2nd best boxer in the world they would be being hoodwinked. Hell, I haven't even heard anyone say Floyd is the best now. Just the best of his generation and that is obvious.
Everyone is saying Connor will lose but it will be fun. That's as straightforward as you can be.
But UFC fans really think Connor will win. They need to learn. This will teach them. And then the comparisons will stop and it will be "two different sports" as it always should have been until UFC fans lost their minds.

If they are seriously that dumb to bet like that then they deserve losing their money. My 10 year old nephew said the same thing, which shows you the mental age of these MMA fans.

You are forgetting Floyd is a powder puff puncher and has not stopped anyone legally for many years.

McGregor will go the same way as Hatton.
I still don't see why they can't have two fights.

Mayweather has had 49 professional boxing matches...Conor McGregor has had 0.....yes that makes Floyd a bit of a puss. Showman, good fighter, but in this specific bout, yes he's a pussy

Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
Floyd and McGregor can do oil wrestling in an inflatable pool for all I care.
It shouldn't, and doesn't have to count on his professional boxing record.
What about this is so hard to understand??

I'm not advocating the fight, far from it in fact.
But the fight doesn't make Floyd a pussy, someone has told him he can get the 50 by fighting someone who has never had a professional bout and he can earn 100 million or whatever, bit of a no brainer for him.
On the other hand, you can fight him in a cage with tiny little gloves and get a real beat down, Floyd says "no thanks I'm a boxer not a UFC fighter, I'll sit on the millions I already have and keep my teeth thankyou very much"
Fight doesn't make sense but it is an easy nights work for more money than you me or either of our families will make in several lifetimes.

We all know Floyd only took on McGregor 'cause Ronda up and got two losses on her record. Otherwise, it'd be her.

If he takes the win as his 50th career professional boxing victory, he's legitimizing it. And his followers will be right behind him. ;)

Oh wait hahaha was it aimed at me for my "someone has told him he can get the 50 by fighting someone who has never had a professional bout" comment?
If so, I hate to say it but I wasn't the one who told him that, unfortunately it looks like someone else is writing his name in the history books and not me, do I agree with it? nope, will me disagreeing with it change it? Nope, regardless of how farcical the fight is will the 50-0 record stand? Yep
I'd much rather see him in a proper fight but it is what it is, someone somewhere has decided this is worthy of another notch on his bedpost and there ain't much that anyone can do other than go with the flow.

Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
I've just been reading random UFC forums with idiots who honestly believe mcgregor will do floyd- early ko for the most.
Fuck this. It's now boxing v UFC and a chance for floyd to make him look pathetic.
I'm right behind this now. Come on Floyd!!!
Hell if Floyd schools him then EA might make another Fight Night game and forget UFC.
