Mayweather vs McGregor official

[Spicoli]

Sad thing is all the real interest will be in stacking the undercard with promoted fighters. If we're lucky Gervonta Davis defends his belt against a clothes mannequin from 'Old Navy' or maybe Badou Jack spars a heavy bag while Floyd stands in front of the camera talking about himself. Micky Bey vs the son of Doink the Clown maybe Mayweather just renting out the sport with this trash. Floyd wins, yeh so what. Floyd loses..say a light fixture falls from ceiling..we'll never hear the end of it.

gimmicks like this make a fight fan very cynical. I'll be watching Cotto vs Kamegai

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

[Kirkland Laing]

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.

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.

Floyd Mayweather Jr 49-0-0 vs Conor McGregor 0-0-0


I really cannot tell you how much I dislike this fight

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.

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.

[Ron Swanson]

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.

But...b b but but but...if Floyd fought McGregor in a cage Mayweather wouldn't last 2 rounds, s s s so that means that Mayweather is a pussy bitch, he should fight him in the cage UFC ROOOOCCCCCKKKKKKKKKSSSSS

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.

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.

You will not be the first poster thinking he has a chance against Floyd.

[walrus]

Do u guys think this might actually happen. It's redicoulus, it would be like me and master fighting. I'd toy with him for three rounds
