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??

.... of course, you can almost predict who on here actually thinks it's legitimate.![]()

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
