8 ounce gloves being requested by Floyd/McGregor: rules say 10 ounce!

[Primo Carnera]

This fight is so God damned retarded.....this is like if the India Cricket team played the Boston Red Sox in baseball. It would be like the All Blacks or the Springboks took on the New England Patriots in Football.


IT WILL NOT BE CLOSE UNLESS FLOYD WANTS IT TO BE CLOSE.



I don't blame Connor for taking the fight because it'll be amazing amounts of money for him, but he's going to be embarrassed and it's an embarrassment for Floyd to even allow this fight to happen. All this fight does is show off what a cheap troll Floyd Mayweather Jr is.

I'm with you 100% on the first half of your post, but if it's ok for MacGregor to take the dough, then surely the same applies to Mayweather, no?
As far as I'm concerned, they're both a pair of twats, but I don't blame them, I blame every single person (including me) who are making this fight relevant by talking about it!
You had the right idea boycotting it, but nobody's got the balls or common sense to follow that.

The UFC takes it's cut from it's fighters ergo all of their fighters pretty much have a ceiling of how much they will make in boxing you don't have that, you have individual promoters and guys promoting themselves which Floyd does and has done quite well to him as a businessman......HOWEVER....Floyd should be getting this big of a payday for fighting NOT a boxer in a BOXING match? There's my issue with it.


Make money all day long, do it up! Flash the cash, go wild! Be the biggest Money May you can ever be.......but don't be looking my way when the conversation turns to All-Time greats.




This fight doesn't make Floyd a great boxer it makes him a great con artist. The only risk he's taking is that people WON'T be dumb enough to buy the fight but he's getting paid regardless so this is quite possibly the EASIEST MONEY a boxer has ever or will ever make.

Conor McGregor will destroy Floyd Mayweather you are all wrong

[GaMo]

Didn't Margarito and Cotto wear 8oz gloves for their first fight? Cotto and De La Hoya made Floyd wear big gloves if my memory serves me.

[Ron Swanson]

154 used to have the option betweeon 10 or 8 I believe. Cotto/Margarita 1 definitely would have been in 8s because it was at 147

For some strange reason McGregor thinks with smaller gloves it will halve the time he sparkos Floyd.

Yeah, he said he'll do it in four in 10oz gloves
And it'll only take two if he's wearing 8oz gloves
Apparently 2oz equal two rounds in Conor's world.

He actually believes he's going to shock the world
And show us all something new. I thought he was here to get paid
But he actually believes what he says (I think) and that's worse.

I saw him working the heavybag and it was fucking embarrasing
He had his hands low and his head high and he was dancing around the bag
I don't think he expects to get hit back and he's in for a shock.

How many punches has he actually taken in his career?
Wonder how he'll respond to getting hit 40 times per round
This fight is not going the distance!
