Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
This is a proper fight. This is actually one for the purists. This is a fight that has much more in common with the spirit, history and legacy of boxing than any fight since Fury Schooled Wlad. For all the people chastising anyone who might watch it or lend it any credence I would suggest taking a deep breath before you reveal even more of your ignorance. This is prize fighting. This is what boxing is. A spectacle, a contest, a battle in which competitors take on all comers.
FAIRGROUND BOOTHS
GYSPIES
BARE KNUCKLE FIGHTING IN FIELDS
GRAPPLERS AGAINST DEFENSIVE WIZARDS
THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF THE NOBLE ART.
Jem Mace and Bob Fitzsimmons would have jumped at a similar opportunity and watched this one too if they were here.
Does McGregor stand much of a chance? Not really but UFC and MMA have a deep relationship with boxing. Boxing is a martial art and it has always evolved. The daft idea that you can hold it down and tame it and stick a label on it because of scientific progress and the growth of silly sanctioning bodies, is preposterous.
The whole thing is a throwback and yes by modern standards Floyd is avoiding a real challenge with so much quality in an around his weight in boxing...but
Legacy and actual achievements is a completely subjective thing anyway. Floyd could fight GGG and beat him handily and history might just write Golovkin off. History might look back with hindsight and think that the full circle was achieved by Floyd fighting McGregor.
Will i watch it ? Not sure
The biggest issue i have is with Oscar suggesting that boxing will not survive.
Boxing is bigger than Oscar, Bigger than Floyd and will continue to evolve, duck, dodge, weave and get back up however many times people suggest it is done for.

Hell if Floyd schools him then EA might make another Fight Night game and forget UFC.
#teamfloyd #boxingrules #impayingforthis etc
Oh fuck yeah, I've literally just switched fight night champion off, a new fight night would be awesome, I spunked out on a PS4 a few months ago and I barely ever touch it, as soon as I am having a few cans and listening to my music my PS3 goes on, I never play anything other than fight night...its only because it goes well with beer and music and its easy but that's not the point

Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
Oscar is just pissed because it will eclipse Cottos fight on the same night. And his fishnets are tight.
McGregor has all of the passes here. Oh he's not a boxer, oh he's handcuffed without full skills, Oh he didn't belong there in the first place. This shit belongs in a circus not a boxing ring.
What we need more of are geriatric Ray Mercers going over and knocking the shat out of some mma biguns.

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.
Not aimed at you, relax. :D
As for the 50-0, maybe they can invoke the asterisk thingy. Like when Barry Bonds broke all sorts of homerun records (baseball) with the help of steroids and whatnot. The asterisk is the establishment's way of cheapening the feat.

Isn't the 50-0 thing about retiring an undefeated reigning champion? Floyd will not be a champion. He will be a guy coming off a circus fight. And no matter how much people wish it will tarnish his legacy, it won't. What he has done is done. Just as if anyone would suggest it will enhance his legacy is wrong too. This fight means nothing but money. Unless he loses.

Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
The more I think about the fight, the more alright I am with it. It's a spectacle. It's like if you put the best college team against the best professional team. Sure, the pro team steamrolls them, but I would watch it nonetheless. It would just be interesting.
This fight is just interesting in that same regard. The main problem is that it costs money to watch it. I would stream it, but I can't imagine that I won't have people I know ordering it and I wouldn't mind throwing in $10.
This fight is a complete gimmick but I'm still interested in seeing it.

Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
To all the people that think that McGregor has a chance and that Floyd is just after the money
I just watched this with the sound off, the big fella had his number he was fucking smashing him, I mean they were literally carrying Floyd out of the ring but he showed heart, courage and absolute strength and he overcome someone twice the size of him, I've never seen this before but it just shows that Floyd isn't only the biggest star when it comes to boxing but he is the best when it comes to wrestling , he is already a cross over star, just wait until he choke slams McGregor and becomes the star of UFC, I can't wait
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua3nTNttHKw
I mean I'm a big lad but I don't reckon I could take the big fucker, Floyd showed some real balls there.

Then let him get his money and be done with it. He'll get his millions... his fans will see him one more time... and everybody will be happy. But don't make a mockery of the sport and everyone else in it, by adding a tainted victory to your record. It's not a professional boxing match because one of the opponents is not a professional boxer.
If we're going to go that route, then let's legitimize RJJ's travesty win over Vyron Phillips. Oh wait... that was counted as a "W" also.
Never mind.
F*ck it. Bring out the cotton candy, jugglers, and rubber red noses..... and let's join the circus.

Ha, exactly, for as much we all despise this fight it is the biggest fight of the year, it'll eclipse GGG and ginger pubes, it'll break fucking records and as much as the boxing fans and the UFC fans despise the very essence of the fight and try to put it down it will happen, we can't do fuck all about it
boxing fans and UFC fans don't come into the mix here mate, it's being sold to the casual fan and unfortunately there is a lot more casual fans who are sold on big adverts and flashy slogans than there are real boxing and UFC fans and that is the market they are aiming for.
I'm sure the UFC forums hold exactly the same view as us.

Should we goback and erase all Sugar Ray Robinsons wins over guys making their debute or were winless? Because there are a lot of them. And some when he had over 100 fights. It doesn't change the great things SRR did, it just doesn't add to them. Embrace the circus like you said. In the end it is completely meaningless. Floyd is still retired, he's just collecting pension. Just don't give him your money, I won't because he's a POS

Debuts and winless records be damned..... they are professional boxers. McGregor isn't. ;)
You damn right the fight's meaningless. Like I said, Floyd and McGregor can meet in a boxing ring, a dark alley, chess match..... or oil themselves up and wrestle in an inflatable pool. Just don't insult other professional boxers out there by counting it as a win in your professional boxing record.
For the record, I hope Floyd dispatches him inside of 2 rounds. It'll frustrate the shit out of UFC fans who like to dis boxing. It's a spectacle, so let the guys get paid. None of that is the issue. My only issue is the "W". It's artificial and doesn't belong there.

Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
garbage fight is garbage, I don't care that it's a "spectacle" or whatever, it's a money grab and they won't be getting any from me. This garbage of a fight overshadows and gets ten times the attention ward kov 2, ggg- canelo, or cormier- jones 2 in the mma world get because the 2 are loudmouths and for some reason people care about that nonsense....its bullshit.

This is what you will read in all YouTube comments for years after the fight.
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
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.
I get a bit tired of hearing the money arguments all the time. Is that really what people think life and achievement is about? How much money you can make from doing as little as possible? There is such a thing as integrity.
If Floyd wasn't a pussy, then he would get in there and fight a ranked fighter. He is a charlatan. He fought Manny when his fire diminished, he took Marquez two weight classes up and wouldn't make weight, he fought Baldomir, he took Hatton up to WW, he fought Berto who was shot, and now this.
How many excuses will people make for this guy. At least have some integrity and fight a top WW and win, lose or draw know you didn't fleece the public.....again.

This.
It would make some sense if the supporters were in some way in on the deal, but they will be getting fleeced by seeing their favorite fighter fight a complete novice. Where is the satisfaction in that? Don't they at least want to see something with a little meaning? 'Floyd will make blah blah million dollars therefore it all makes sense!'
I have often said that I do not understand the human race and an event like this makes me stand by my declaration. I will have to retreat to the secret boards and comment on this issue no further.

I'll not be getting fleeced I said earlier that I'll only be watching it if it's a stellar undercard and I can't see that happening.
Just because I'm not fuming about it doesn't mean I'm a supporter of it.
And to the post before, yes unfortunately money is what makes the world go round, like it or not that's the way it is, nothing that you or I can do is going to change that

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.
I get a bit tired of hearing the money arguments all the time. Is that really what people think life and achievement is about? How much money you can make from doing as little as possible? There is such a thing as integrity.
If Floyd wasn't a pussy, then he would get in there and fight a ranked fighter. He is a charlatan. He fought Manny when his fire diminished, he took Marquez two weight classes up and wouldn't make weight, he fought Baldomir, he took Hatton up to WW, he fought Berto who was shot, and now this.
How many excuses will people make for this guy. At least have some integrity and fight a top WW and win, lose or draw know you didn't fleece the public.....again.
#BoycottMayweather
This.
It would make some sense if the supporters were in some way in on the deal, but they will be getting fleeced by seeing their favorite fighter fight a complete novice. Where is the satisfaction in that? Don't they at least want to see something with a little meaning? 'Floyd will make blah blah million dollars therefore it all makes sense!'
I have often said that I do not understand the human race and an event like this makes me stand by my declaration. I will have to retreat to the secret boards and comment on this issue no further.
I'll not be getting fleeced I said earlier that I'll only be watching it if it's a stellar undercard and I can't see that happening.
Just because I'm not fuming about it doesn't mean I'm a supporter of it.
And to the post before,
yes unfortunately money is what makes the world go round, like it or not that's the way it is, nothing that you or I can do is going to change that
I disagree. I think if people stand together and do the right thing then con artists, bankers and governments will fall. It has happened before and it will happen again. #BoycottMayweather #VoteforCorbyn #AndrewJackson #Mandela #Mylifematterstoo #GeoffreyBoycott

Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
Every second McGregor is still in the ring against Floyd is a victory for him. the longer the fight goes on the better his achievement.
This is a novelty fight like Haye v Bellew, so anything can happen, but more absurd and freakish.
Watching both fighters trying to justify the fight is going to be the best bit of the fight.
Love it. :)

I have a twitter account after tam seddon persuaded me to have one. I get boxing links on my email and try and post relevant ones like the john Murray interview which was interesting.

Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
will it count of floyds record?
will he go to 50-0?
surely there should be some rules around that?
-
Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
you know like the dubious goals committee in football
bunch of dudes sit about and decide if someone actually scored or it was an own goal or deflected off someone or something
could be the dubious bouts committee, to decide whether a bout should count on a record or not
I mean if A Josh fought @Master in a professional ring, would that count?

If I got a license then yes it would.
Realistically if a MMA heavyweight wanted to fight AJ and there was enough interest and money it would be made.

Re: Mayweather vs McGregor official
Dana White argues Conor McGregor losing to Floyd Mayweather doesn't hurt him or the UFC
Conor McGregor has been gunning for a fight with Floyd Mayweather and now he’s finally got his wish as the two combat sports superstars meet on Aug. 26 in Las Vegas.
Odds for the rumored fight have been swirling for over a year with Mayweather consistently sitting as a massive favorite over McGregor, who has never boxed professionally, and now he’s stepping into the ring with one of the best to ever do it.
Many boxing analysts have said that McGregor will get schooled in a fight with Mayweather, and mixed martial arts experts don’t seem to be giving him a much better chance than that either.
So what happens if McGregor goes into the ring with Mayweather and just gets dominated for 12 rounds or even suffers a knockout to the multi-time boxing champion? Does it hurt McGregor’s status as one of the top fighters in the world? Does it damage the UFC to see one of its champions getting slaughtered on a big stage for a fight of this magnitude?
“No, absolutely not,” White said about a potential McGregor loss impacting him or the UFC long term. “At the end of the day, these two guys wanted this fight, the fans wanted this fight and Conor is a mixed martial artist. He’s going into a boxing match with arguably the greatest boxer of all time.
“I don’t think it damages the brand or Conor McGregor at all. I think it actually elevates Conor McGregor.”
White argues that McGregor even taking this fight is a huge reason why people love watching him compete so much because he shows no fear in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
“The fact that this kid who has so much to lose is willing to step in and is absolutely confident that he will win this fight. I think it’s one of the many reasons that people love Conor McGregor,” White explained.
“Win, lose or draw it’ll be one of the reasons people will continue to love Conor McGregor.”
As far as McGregor’s chances go, White isn’t going to pretend that the reigning UFC lightweight champion is going to pick up enough skills over the next two months to simply out box Mayweather over 12 rounds.
Instead, White looks at specific weapons that McGregor possesses that could give Mayweather headaches once they step into the ring together.“
Is he at the level of a Floyd Mayweather as far as boxing standards go? No,” White said. “But the kid first of all is a southpaw.
People can argue one way or another, Floyd traditionally, if you ever wanted to say there’s ever been a kink in the armor with that kid, it’s with southpaw and Conor McGregor is an absolute knockout artist. When he hits you, you go. “So it’s part of the fun of this fight. Is Conor McGregor in a 12-round fight gonna be able to touch Floyd Mayweather?”
While White says a loss won’t hurt McGregor, he does believe that pulling off a win against Mayweather will shoot his star status to another level than he’s ever experienced before.
It’s part of the reason why White loves that McGregor wanted this matchup and that Mayweather accepted — both fighters are putting everything on the line.
“If you look at how big this fight is and you look at how big both of these athletes are that are involved in this fight, if Conor does knock Floyd Mayweather out, he is the biggest athlete on Earth. He’s the biggest athlete anywhere, on other planets he’s the biggest athlete. It’s pretty crazy,” White said.
“But it’s one of the things I always say about Conor and now you can say it about Floyd too, when you go out and you put everything on the line, I’ve said this about Floyd for many years — he loves money but that record is actually more important than money. For him to go out and risk that 49-0 against a guy like Conor, props to both guys for making the fight.”

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.
I don't think he thinks it's a serious fight either. I don't think he gives a fuck about his legacy. It's about money. He'd fight Britney Spears if the purse was big enough.

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.
McGregor is no fool. Another loss or two in UFC, and it could happen in consecutive fights, and he's just another fighter earning rubbish UFC money. This fight sets him up for life. Everybody says when he loses ah he was fighting the greatest boxer of his generation and one of the best all time and that's that, he goes back to UFC with his star power probably increased if anything but definitely financially alright.

This is what boxing is. A spectacle, a contest, a battle in which competitors take on all comers.
FAIRGROUND BOOTHS
GYSPIES
BARE KNUCKLE FIGHTING IN FIELDS
GRAPPLERS AGAINST DEFENSIVE WIZARDS
THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF THE NOBLE ART.
Jem Mace and Bob Fitzsimmons would have jumped at a similar opportunity and watched this one too if they were here.
Does McGregor stand much of a chance? Not really but UFC and MMA have a deep relationship with boxing. Boxing is a martial art and it has always evolved. The daft idea that you can hold it down and tame it and stick a label on it because of scientific progress and the growth of silly sanctioning bodies, is preposterous.
The whole thing is a throwback and yes by modern standards Floyd is avoiding a real challenge with so much quality in an around his weight in boxing...but
Legacy and actual achievements is a completely subjective thing anyway. Floyd could fight GGG and beat him handily and history might just write Golovkin off. History might look back with hindsight and think that the full circle was achieved by Floyd fighting McGregor.
Will i watch it ? Not sure
The biggest issue i have is with Oscar suggesting that boxing will not survive.
Boxing is bigger than Oscar, Bigger than Floyd and will continue to evolve, duck, dodge, weave and get back up however many times people suggest it is done for.
:-X
Oscar is furious that this fight is happening three weeks before his big promotion and will hoover up all the money that casual fans might spend on PPVs around that time. It'll also be a publicity juggernaut and take all the spotlight away from his promotion.

McGregor has all of the passes here. Oh he's not a boxer, oh he's handcuffed without full skills, Oh he didn't belong there in the first place. This shit belongs in a circus not a boxing ring.
What we need more of are geriatric Ray Mercers going over and knocking the shat out of some mma biguns.
Oh yeah, it fucks up the Cotto fight as well. I'd forgotten about that one. :)
