    Heart my ass?? Then why won't Floyd fight Conor in the octagon? He is fighting Floyd in Floyds world. If you can't respect that then your nuthuggery for Floyd is even worse than everyone thought.

    Floyd is the money maker, not Conor. Floyd has made a bajillion dollars already and can do it fighting nearly anyone. Conor would only make this kind of money fighting Floyd. So Floyd can dictate the terms and Conor has to go along with it. Secondly, Conor is known more as a striker anyway whereas Floyd doesn't know the first thing about kicking or grappling and so a boxing match makes more sense. It's not about heart it's about money

    It's BECAUSE of This that REED Feels the POTENTIAL is There for Conor to Fuck w/Floyd, Mentally...

    Your Boy is INSECURE as Fuck, Sly...You Know it as Well as REED Does...The "Money May" Façade is Mere Camouflage for the Uncertain, Eager to Please CHILD Residing Deeeeeeeeeeeeeep Within Floyd...

    Let's Not Forget the Infamous RA the Rugged Man Interview...Or How Floyd Went Out of his Way to Show he Really WASN'T as Poor @ REEDing as Some Reported...Hell, the DELAY in Getting the Pac Fight Made was ALL about Floyd's Insecurity...

    But that's Just It, Now that the Mayweather-McGregor Contracts are Signed and the Press Dates are Set, Game's Over...1nce They're in the Moment, Floyd CANNOT Control What Conor SAYS...& McGregor's a Dude that RESEARCHES his Upcoming Opponents for Material to Berate Them w/...

    If/When McGregor is Garnering "Ooooohs" and LAUGHTER @ Floyd's Expense, that WON'T Sit Well w/Your Boy...And Again, Floyd has NEVER Faced a Dude Willing to Dig as Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeep, Pulling Scabs Off EVERY Scar, Like Conor McGregor Does...

    Literally, Floyd Surrounds Himself w/Dudes who Laugh ON CUE...REED Thinks You're Underestimating Just How UNCOMFORTABLE McGregor Could Potentially Make Him w/His Verbal Game...

    What do you expect from someone who is comparing Ortizs mental game with Conor's? Geez...

    I think most of you overrate the importance of insults and crap talk. It is done to sell fights, I doubt it means much, if anything, for the outcomes of those fights.

    At best, crap talk can make a fighter forget his strategy (a la Duran-Leonard 1), it doesn't make a fighter forget everything about boxing, which is what would be needed here.

    Ricky Hatton out-talked Floyd easily, PBF out-knocked him just as easily

    I'm not saying that it will have some huge effect on the fight. I just think it will be fun to watch Conor publicly humiliate Floyd and watch how Floyd reacts. I am fully aware that Floyd will easily win this fight.

    The best part was Hatton mocking Floyd's mitt routine. :D

    No One's Saying it'll Help McGregor BEAT Floyd...Clearly, it WON'T...

    But it COULD Lead to Floyd Fighting More AGGRESSIVELY than we've Grown Accustomed to Seeing...Looking to HURT the Loud Mouth, as Opposed to COASTING to Yet Another Boring, Overpriced Win...

    More Than Anything, Floyd Likes Being in CONTROL...Or @ Least the PRESUMPTION of Being in Control...But He Will have Never Been LESS in Control of a Situation than he Will Be in a Verbal Sparring Session w/Conor McGregor...

    If he's Getting CLOWNED & LAUGHED @ on Every Stop of the 4-City Press Tour, that'll Eat @ Floyd's Fragile, Insecure Mind...REED Could Even See Floyd Resorting to Hurling Money into the Crowd, in a Meek Attempt @ Getting Them Back on His 'Side', so to Speak...

    Bottom Line, Floyd LIKES the Idea of Having the "Biggest Dick" in the Room...He LIKES Being the Center of Attention...But he's NEVER Matched Wits w/a Dude Capable of STEALING his Spotlight, the Way McGregor ROUTINELY Does...

    The Press Tour Should Be INFINITELY More Entertaining than the Fight Itself...& in this Particular Regard, Floyd Should Take a DECISIVE "L"...

    Robert Guerrero's Dad must've talked a lot of his usual shit to turn Floyd into such a killer.

    McGregor's only chance is that Floyd is in fact completely shot. But for him to have any chance to even make a fight of it, he has to take the SPOTLIGHT from Floyd.

    Floyd loves the idea that he's the "A-side." He feels ENTITLED to it, and if McGregor can manage to outshine him in the press conferences and unnerve him by doing whatever he can to become the center of attention, that will possibly gnaw at Floyd's ego and sense of entitlement, thus we have a better chance of getting an actual FIGHT as opposed to a boring sparring match. And the way to do that is simple. "You gotta DOG him" as Duke told Tommy Gunn in Rocky 5.

    But also, during the fight ITSELF Conor has to do his own mental warfare version of the rope a dope. He's gotta have Floyd so fucked up psychologically that he makes him open up and take chances. And the chances are slim he can do that.

    The fight is Floyd's to win impressively if he wants. But if McGregor is punching a little harder than Floyd likes, he'll shamelessly hold, spoil, and pot shot his way to a boring UD, making people feel ripped off again.

    I can't see Conor punching as hard as guys like Canelo, De La Hoya, Cotto, Pacquiao or Judah and so I think his "power" is irrelevant. He's also slower than those guys. Unless Floyd is completely shot, he'd laugh at Conor's power. As for Conor getting into his head....again, this isn't Floyd's first rodeo. Lol.

    It looks like Money May once again is being hunted down by the IRS.

    Floyd could be fighting well into his 40s.

    This dumbass owes Uncle Sam and doesnt have the cash to pay. Yuppp, by 50 Floyd will be broke as Hell. He'll blow his fortune like Mike did.

    But unlike Tyson, Floyd will be really screwed, cause Mike will always be q marketable celebrity. Floyd will be forgotten and broke.

    And it's not likely to get any easier for Floyd. It's not like he's gonna turn over a new leaf and suddenly smarten up about his spending habits. And without fighting, it's not like he's got another major source of income. That paycheck from the Pac fight won't run that long at the rate he's going.

    Floyd will have no choice but to fight and by then he won't be able to hang with the top guys at 147-154 lbs.

    Hilarious...

    When the CORE of Your Existence is Predicated on the Presumption of Wealth, Repeated IRS Related Issues are Particularly HUMBLING...If Floyd Has Stacked Paper Like he BRAGS, He Shouldn't Have to Wait Until the McGregor Check Clears, to Pay Off his Debt...

    If he's Rocking T.B.E. or T.M.T. Gear @ the Pressers, McGregor Should Sport I.R.S. Shit...

    Same here.

    Mayweather trying to carefully choose an opponent that looks to be declining, only to find out that he himself has declined more, would be a very satisfying way to watch Floyd's first L.

    Whether or not he loses all his money and ends up broke, Floyd will still be one of the 5 best fighters that ever lived

    Sooo predictable...why isn't anyone surprised Floyd OWES more money than he has...the way it looks Money Mayweather stands to walk alway with little cash after this fight. Remember a substantial cut from the proceeds of this fight ALSO go to the IRS in addition to what is already owed.

    Idiot.

    Floyd's also a degenerate gambler, which will expedite his path to bankruptcy.

    Jordan's a big gambler too, but Mike has a lucrative revenue stream for the rest of his life... Floyd doesn't.
