Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather Jr

[westx]

Okay, so I am hearing a lot of "I ain't wasting my money"..... To me, I think it is worth it simply because it is a 1st in history type of event and think it will be fun and entertaining. I think Conor has a puncher's chance early on, but, that is it. If it lasts any kind of duration, Mayweather will toy with him. I have watched Conor in a couple of UFCs and he seems to get winded fairly easy.

I don't think 100 bucks it's a big deal go if you go in with some buddies or just pay the cover at a bar or something. I don't think McGregor has any chance though. I don't even give him much of a punchers chance because he isn't a boxer.

 

[LonghornMM]

I'm going to get the fight at my house. I don't care for either guy, but if I had to choose, I'd rather see McGregor win.

 

[Pumpedup55]

I also think mcgregor will get winded but will also have a hard time landing on mayweather.

 

[GuaranteedFresh!]

Complete upset of monumental proportions if Mayweather goes down. I hope that CM gets frustrated at chasing Floyd around and uses his MMA.
Could be the first time a boxer wins by getting caught in a rear naked choke. Hmm, a spinning roundhouse kick to the face would be nice too.

So you're inviting us over? Oh wait, you have Invited Harvey as well. Never mind.

Now that would be a $100 million dollar return on investment for the fans

If Mcgregor pulls any ufc stuff he forfeits his purse. He won't be losing 100 mil.

His only chance is to get mayweather to stand toe to toe with him and fight. Mayweather is too smart for that.

This will be a "boxing match", not a fight. Mayweather will put on a clinic and point Mcgregor to death.... while moving laps around the ring as not to be cut off. 12 round unanimous decision...Mayweather.

I can't stand either of these guys but I respect what mayweather does in the ring.

 

[LonghornMM]

I agree with you, clob. Mayweather will run all night, like he always does. IMO, one of McGregor's strategies should be to find a way to get in Mayweather's head, get him off of his game and frustrate him. I give McGregor virtually no chance. If he wins, it will have to be a knock out. No way he'll win a decision.

 

[swVAHorn]

Mayweather stops McGregor before the 8th round. It seems some don't know what BOXING is all about.......you HIT them and you DON'T let them hit you. Not rocket surgery on how to win.

 

[hookem777]

McGregor in 5 rounds ,if its not fixed.

 

[ryan_sublett]

If they were really fighting Conner would kill Floyd. In a boxing match? He's got no shot.

 

[hookem777]

Floyd came out and said this wont be a "PAC FIGHT" he wont run and dance he will go aggressive. IF and IF he does that i think Conor wins and KO'S. I dont see it happening though honestly. I think this fight is fixed and floyd wins by decision and its boring as hell.

 

[hookem777]

and thats why im watching it online for free, not paying 100$ for what i would bet is fixed.

I don't think the fight is fixed. The odds are stacked against McGregor because its a boxing-only match. If it were a MMA match, Mayweather would get destroyed.

Worked very well. Thank you. Mayweather did what he said.....he walked right straight ahead....wore him out and finished him. Connor should have had at least 2 points taken away for illegal punching. Mayweather showed a lot of class and he seems to have changed a lot.

Mayweather turns 41 early next year....McGregor was 29
Mayweather weighed 149.5....McGregor weighed 171 During fight.....

Corner actually did better than I thought he would...

How much is Floyd making from this like 500 mil? Wonder how long it is before he needs another pay day

Mayweather walked straight ahead. He could have made it boring and wore Connor out. Mayweather did not fight HIS normal fight. He made it exciting and he knew Connor could not hurt him.

Yeah. I mean he could of got a lucky shot in. But that was really his only hope.

I give conner props for making it 10 rounds but let's all remember......conner is 29 in his athletic prime. Mayweather is 41 and not..... and by round 5 Conners hands were dropping due to fatigue. Floyd went on the attack after he say this. And also remember, these were lighter gloves. How much earlier would conner have gotten tired with heavier gloves?

Look, it's simple-- a world class BOXER beat a world class "fighter" in a boxing match. Just because there's similarities doesn't mean they are similar.

A basketball is round.
A baseball is round.
Ask Michael Jordan in they are the same.

You are right Clob. They are two different sports and skill sets. UFC is 3 rounds like 3-4 mins each and doesn't go the distance much it seems. Just different conditioning needed.

Now if they really wanted to make it a truly competitive fight should of gave Conner a year to train. 1-2 warm up fights. They had done that he might of had a shot. Ovbiously Floyd wasn't going to agree to anything like that.

 

[LonghornMM]

Now, I'd like to see Mayweather fight McGregor in an MMA bout and see how it goes. I don't think Mayweather would fare too well.

Conor can train only boxing for the next 2 years and still will not be ELITE in boxing. These guys start out as kids. If you want to get down to the truth Conor should be fighting an Andre Ward type who is the same size as him....murder would have been committed. Mayweather is a TRUE 147lber. He walks around 2 to 4 lbs over. Conor is a true 168lber (for boxing) for mma he is a 155lber.

 

[CoachEmUp64]

I spent the money and came away pleasantly surprised by the fight. First off I wasn't expecting it to go that long, and I was also surprised at how well Conor was able to box. I'm not a boxing guru by any means, but I enjoyed it. I also drank way to much so that could've helped!

 

[diadevic]

I was surprised at McGregor's lack of power. After about 2 rounds it was obvious Conor was pawing with his punches, not letting loose. Floyd had no respect for him and charged. I thought the end was called too quickly, but the same result was inevitable if it had continued. And SWVA is correct - Floyd is not a KO guy, and KO'd him. If he Coner fought a middleweight, he'd been taken out much sooner and more violently. All that said - I loved the spectacle - well worth $100.

If all it took was a couple of years of training to beat one of the best boxers ever, then McGregor is wasting his time in MMA because the pay days are much bigger in boxing.

True.....A reporter asked Mayweather if he would let his son start boxing now....He said no, it is too late....the boy is still less than 20 years old.
