Also, they are fighting at 154 with 10 oz gloves. Of course Floyd is great but that is dangerous. Conor is much bigger and has some special abilities. If he even grazes Floyd with that left, Floyd will be on Queer Street. He is a pure fighter. He is being told non stop tgat he is the equivalent of floyd fighting a child. You think he doesn't care to win?? Are you familiar with the male alpha ego?

What are these "special abilities that will help him box? Do you understand that some of the best punchers that have boxed their entire life, couldn't hit Floyd, right? Floyd's entire approach is to defend and NOT get hit. Hitting back is secondary in his tactics. Connor will be crying like a pussy after the fight saying that Floyd wouldn't engage in a fist fight. He simply doesn't understand the art of boxing. He will be tired, swollen, and a bitch. I actually predict at some point he will be do frustrated he will do something illegal and be dq'd. And you speak of this great left bomb he throws. Now picture that same punch, with gloves 3 times the weight, against possibly the greatest defensive fighter ever. And on the bizarre chance he lands one, the padding is 4 times as thick as UFC gear. What part if this fight do you think favors a guy like him? I'll go a step further. Let's say CM decides to go pro at boxing and does only boxing. In his weight class, he would be rated probably below #50. What do you think Floyd would do to the 50th rated fighter in his class? There's your answer

So no one here has even a lick of sense or actual correct info on this whole thing despite access to the internet. conor is fighting to win. He has and his coach have already said that coming off this fight he will want to have another UFC fight before the years end. He didn't hold any divisions hostage. The UFC just makes interim champions like it's no big deal. As far as betting....why would you bet on an -1100 favorite. You are all idiots.

I despise FM, but I hope he knocks CM's head off

Mayweather runs backward, get two shots in per round, wins the decision. Nothing to see here.

Mcgregor doesn't care if he wins or loses, he did all this for the money. He is getting his big pay day that the ufc couldn't provide. He is done after this fight. the man made his money, thats all he wanted to do.

Sadly, I agree. And he's held 2 weight classes in the UFC for hostage.

ShamelessPel•82 months

You think the guy that trained hard enough to pull off winning in two different weight classes in the UFC is going to coast into a boxing match where he can quite literally shake the sports world by being the 1 in 49-1? McGregor's ego is too much to allow him to "not care" if he wins or loses, much less the man himself.

@ShamelessPel - I think he'll give it everything he has but at the end of that evening, I think he's retiring from boxing/ufc. He's done after this and so to a degree, if he gets winded and he's in the 9th round, I think "frick it, I'm rich" will creep in his thoughts.

I'm not paying for this shite. The way I see it is if Mayweather wins, it shuts McGregor up some. If McGregor wins, it effectively kills boxing. It's a win-win in my book.

This is boxing. This is going to be boring.

TigerSpray•82 months

So Fight # 2 will be MMA between the two? I'm all in for THAT!!!!!

GeeOH•82 months

No, Floyd isn't a moron like CM. He knows competing in CM"s world is stupid. Too bad CM isn't smart enough to know better. This is a clown show.

Mcgregor will "win" This fight is fixed more than wwe. Floyd is doing this for more money and to put mcgregor over.

BlackPot•82 months

I want to see Mcgregor win, but if money was on the line, I'd probably pick Mayweather.
