    I think a name change maybe in order Hater.
    Come off it mate, I have said before that I'm a may weather fan but the general consensus is that as far as boxing goes this UFC bloke doesn't deserve to be in the same arena as Floyd, if that is the case then he should have arranged his 50th fight against HHH or the fucking undertaker and really made in into a pantomime.

    Just because someone has marketability and some fools are willing to pay him 100 million notes for it doesn't make it a good fight, it is just Floyd laughing at everyone.

    That is if this fight isn't just complete horse shit that the press have made up

    Rocco is very protective and has his tongue firmly stuck up Floyd's ass.

    Mcgregor has little to no ground game. His stand up is good but really got over inflated with the Aldo KO. The diaz brothers are pretty good boxers but they're not elite professional boxers. The BJJ option is always there if theyre taking too many shots. The way Conor loads up shots, Mayweather would see everyone of those coming a mile away. Mcgregors best chance in this is to soften up the legs and keep the distance with the side kicks, then eventually go upstairs if they allow kicking.

    Without kicking, the wide stance and the footwork mystery is taken away from mcgregor as the distance is shortened. He will try to go rapid fire and probably meet some counters.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    Floyd Mayweather returning to box Conor McGregor? Dana White says no

    With Conor McGregor seemingly at odds with the UFC and with Floyd Mayweather hinting about ending his retirement, a report that emerged from The Sun, a U.K. tabloid, that Mayweather and McGregor were on the verge of a deal for a fight, was given an ever so slight bit of credibility.

    The Sun reported Mayweather would make $144 million while McGregor would get $10.1 million in U.S. dollars.

    But UFC president Dana White laughed when asked if the report was true. He said it is completely false.

    "It's not true; it's just a tabloid story," White said. "And as far as I knew, Floyd is retired and he's been on a world-wide vacation and hasn't even been thinking of fighting."

    Mayweather retired in September as the welterweight champion, at a weight limit of 147 pounds. McGregor holds the featherweight, or 145-pound, title in the UFC.

    Even without White's denial, the report made zero sense. Boxing and mixed martial arts are similar, but ultimately different sports. It’s like comparing baseball and softball, and suggesting that an MMA fighter could defeat a boxer in a boxing match would be like suggesting a slugger in softball could win a major league home run title. Or vice versa.

    The bottom line is that the story isn’t true, no matter how much people would love for it to be. There are no better trash talkers in sports than Mayweather and McGregor, and a promotion featuring them would be epic.
    The story said the fight would be in Las Vegas in the summer. But UFC 200 will be July 9 at the T-Mobile Arena, and the Olympics will take up most of August.

    The Mexican Independece Day weekend in September is always a popular weekend for a boxing pay-per-view, but Canelo Alvarez could take that slot if he defeats Amir Khan on Saturday.

    McGregor’s coach, John Kavanagh, fueled the breathless speculation with a clever tweet that included an intentional typo.

    Yahoo Sports reached out Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe for comment, but he hasn't responded.

    When Yahoo Sports spoke to White late Thursday, before the Sun story broke, and discussed McGregor. At that time, White said, “We have no problems with Conor. We’re totally cool.”

    White had yanked McGregor from a planned fight at UFC 200 on July 9 because McGregor didn’t want to fly to Las Vegas to participate in media and promotional activities.

    Mayweather left the door open for a return from his retirement during an interview on Showtime last week.

    But don’t start making plans to fly to Las Vegas to see this one, because, as White confirmed and anyone thinking rationally should have known, it isn’t going to happen.
