Or watching MMA fights (sure I like to see them once in a while but if there is not a better sport on)
BUT I would pay for this one. I would love to see Mayweather get messed up. Can McGregor fight his normal style or does he have to box?
And that's why this fight got made. Millions of people who are casual fans at best will forkover big bucks for this PT Barnum production.
If you want to see two of the best fighters watch Jon Jones vs Cormier soon
As far as this joke Connor is at a huge disadvantage. IMO Footwork. No kicks. Trying to adjust from whole career in MMA to just box a guy whose going to do everything he can not to get hit. Outer puncher vs counter puncher. Which in boxing is ok. There is not mythica title to lose. Not paying for this after I was dumb enough To shell out he $100 for the Manny Mayweather snoozefest.
that **could** knock Mayweather out...but the chances of Mayweather letting McGregor get anywhere near it are slim to none.
Another major factor - what size gloves will they use? MMA and boxing gloves are obviously vastly different, but I assume Mayweather is not agreeing to this with anything other than standard weight boxing gloves.
You know, guys who train at boxing all the time. What do you think he will do (if he wants to) to a guy who isn't nearly as skilled at boxing as those guys Floyd has toyed with?
Has made all time great boxers like Pacquiao, Marquez, and Mosley look foolish. How does a guy without even an amateur boxomg background seriously think he can contend with Mayweather? Anybody that is dumb enough to pay for this fight, I also have a bridge to sell you.
Has knocked out 2 people since 2007. He will most likely win this fight but by doing it the way he's fought most of his career. Dance, evade and decision. For you "boxing experts" saying that 40 year old Mayweather will destroy McGregor... You are fucking high.
McGregor definitely has a punchers chance and at +700 betting odds... I'll be placing my money on Conor.

He doesn't. This is a shameless WWE style money grab. What's sad is people will pony up for it. You can never underestimate the stupidity of People in this modern day hype machine world
No doubt more $$ than he'd ever make in a UFC fight. Im curious why Mayweather would. Will the money really that huge for him, compared to his big fights? Does he need the money?
I'm sure he'll toy with McGregor, but just seems like all downside to his legacy if McGregor somehow makes it a fight
has 3 losses in his own sport. Mayweather is undefeated in boxing. This is a money grab. Nothing more. Mayweather may be kind and play with him for a few rounds. But this will be more like an exhibition match.
I feel bad for anyone who wastes money thinking this will be a real fight.
? Like dana white said, if you don't want to buy it, don't buy it. Go watch a movie...
I don't think McGregor has a shot but I'm at least interested. Its not like mayweather was rushing out of retirement for anyone else and McGregor didnt seem like he was interested in getting back in th cage soon either. I think the lead up to the fight will be fantastic lol
I just don't understand why so many people feel the need to bitch so much. Who cares if they fight?

Mayweather is a huge favorite and will most likely win but using the 3 losses in mma to make your point is just dumb imo. Mcgregor has lost 1 time in 7 years and all three loses are by submission. I'm certain Floyd won't be putting him in an arm triangle to end this one.

So anyone who buys it is stupid?
If they think this is anything other than a side show yes. This is a publicity stunt. If you are happy shelling out a $100 to $150 bucks knowing that full well you are hoping for that 1 In a million shot of Connor landing that one big shot go ahead.
If you buy this a a legit boxing match. Yes. Stupid is apt

And in all of his wins Conor uses couptet punchinf and kicks as a big part of his wins. Pretty sure he won't be kicking. You think Floyd after years of riding his bike and jabbing guys to death will change up? Not to mention the size of the gloves which he will use to block. Commnor doesn't use a jab much either. So he's got to relearn that too.

Clearly u misunderstood my post.
I said Mayweather is and should be the heavy fav. He will most definitely win. But using Mcgregors 3 mma losses (2 of which are about 10 years ago) to make the argument for Mayweather is dumb.
A curiosity stand point, no doubt. I mean who hasn't wanted to see a boxer fight an MMA champ? I think people will pay to see what the skill level difference is on one fighters terms. I think it would be pretty cool if they fought a second time in the octagon.
But as I mentioned before I hope they take the fight serious and it's not like an exhibition charity event.
McGregor is without a doubt going to take it seriously.
isn't exactly in his prime at 40 years old and MGregor can certainly get lucky and maybe land a haymaker. Mayweather's style is mostly defensive and MGregor might not have a lot to fear from Mayweather's jabs.
Mayweather will likely dance around for the whole match and win easily, but I wouldn't mind throwing $100 on McGregor if i could find +1000 odds.
BUT I would pay for this one. I would love to see Mayweather get messed up. Can McGregor fight his normal style or does he have to box?

It will be a boxing match. Given that, I can't imagine it will be particularly interesting.
Not a real quote but that's how I feel about this fight
Dumbest thing ever. If Mayweather wants to he'll destroy McGregor.

Even if he doesn't he's got no shot.
Amen.

In an MMA fight McGregor would win in about 30 seconds tops. It wouldn't even be close. The only way they can fight is with boxing rules.
McGregor definitely has a punchers chance and at +700 betting odds... I'll be placing my money on Conor.

You'll be able to watch all 65 seconds of the actual fight on YouTube the next day...so probably yes.

Look at you all, sitting on your cloud of judgement, handing down life lessons...
I'm not going to drop money on this fight. I haven't bought a boxing or mma ppv in a long time but i don't think everyone who does is stupid either.
This. Blows my mind how many people are willing to fork over 100 bucks right now for this farce.
But as I mentioned before I hope they take the fight serious and it's not like an exhibition charity event.

Conor's power and accuracy will win this fight, by KO.

If that happens it's because Floyd put money on Connor.
