Mayweather vs McGregor official

[Ron Swanson]

.... of course, you can almost predict who on here actually thinks it's legitimate.

Who has said it's legitimate? More false arguments

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.

Not aimed at you, relax.


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.

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.

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.

[armin]

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.

[Gandalf]

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

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.

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

[ruthless rocco]

Is professional prize fighting all about money??!!!
No!! It's just amusement for you keyboard and armchair warriors to bitch about.

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

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.
