But it is weird to me that you seem to be setting it up as though McGregor wouldn't be the overwhelming favorite in a street fight.
Whomever had the concealed carry permit would be my favorite in the street fight

Thats why the biggest star in MMA history had to go into boxing to get a huge payday



Or you could argue that boxing biggest payday needed someone who wasn't a boxer

MMA is what actual fighting looks like. Boxing isn't fighting.

Okay, so tonight was a boxing match and Mcgregor got beat. End of story.



Yeah but what does that mean for boxing

Luster is lost in my opinion

I still think it is

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm guessing like 80 percent of households that bought this fight fall into "want something to do that everyone will be talking about while getting drunk with my friends" category, rather than some far narrower category of very invested boxing fans.

"street fight" basically implies a fight where (1) more than hands can be used and (2) when you clinch, a 3rd party doesn't show up to break you up

Street fight with no weapons, then. . .

You think Money lasts more than a minute against McGregor?

Unarmed combat, dude. As in hand-to-hand. Seriously this point is stupid.

Maybe - not sure

Wife was McGregor fan I wanted to see if he could hang with boxer

I still think a lot of us bought into how would MMA do vs boxer. Eventhough the real question is how boxer would do in MMA
