You need to base your opinion of boxing on more than just these glorified exhibitions.

that wasn't a boxing match, that was a boxer making $150 million carrying a Irishman for 45 minutes

Dead how?

Mayweather and McGregor just combined to make more than the entire UFC roster makes in a calendar year iirc

Nah, this won't kill boxing.

In fact, I expect the rematch in 2 years to easily beat tonight's number.

And when McGregor officially switches over to boxing permanently? Look out!

This wasn't a boxing match. This was a guy dancing around a wheezing irish man until he felt dizzy and was falling over. You have to be able to go 12 on stamina alone before you can step in the ring with an all time great. Nice easy money for Mayweather. Had a good time though laughing at the idiot noobs who thought the first 2 rounds were important.

How much money do UFC fighters make for getting bodies wrecked? That's a sport for people that couldn't hack it in other sports. Just like professional wrestlers.

Canelo and Trip. G is going to be a good one..until GGG knocks Canelo's head off his shoulders.

Fights in the 80's were great. Some real hitters even at the lower weights. Boom Boom, Hearns, etc.

Ward vs. Gatti was great.

Ever since the K bros came into the HW title - it's been all paddy-cake defensive fighting.

Too bad Connor didn't raise up MMA but showed the same paddy-cake mentality when he had his best shot in the first 3 rounds.

So, lets not pat MMA on the back.

Their big hero flaked out and never attacked.

I think this revitalized boxing.

Can't wait for the next prize fight

McGregor took Mayweather's back in 30 seconds and did so repeatedly throughout fight. You know what happens outside those ropes? Mayweather in an ambulance. So spare me with the rules, in pure unfiltered combat McGregor would gauntlet the top 5 boxers in one night and meet his mates in the bar for a few pints after to celebrate.

No UFC fighter fears a one dimensionally trained boxer.

I know someone who has never seen the Thrilla in Manila.

Or watch the Marvin Hagler vs Sugar Ray Leonard fight.

Caveman? Tell that to tohe Olympic champions of boxing - boxing is a skill and an art - no where close to the brutal status of caveman like MMA action
