OFFICIAL DISCUSSION: Floyd Mayweather Vs. Conor McGregor |August 26 2017

A zero fight am beating a 49-0 pro who is probably the best of our generation looks pretty bad to me. I am no Conor fan, the guy's ego is already out of control. He will be insufferable if he won and so will his fans. That's another downside.

 

It's not like people will go oh wow boxers are not as good as I thought...im done with the sport...ill start watching something else...maybe darts.

 

Yeah, if Conor wins, then maybe there are some things in boxing that we'd have to rethink. Perhaps it would prove that physical training can be done better than now, maybe it would prove that some boxing techniques are ineffective, at which point they would be developed. Both would actually make boxing better

Plus, Conor doesnt win

 

Anthony, we have absolutely NO WAY of knowing that McGregor's MMA power will transfer over to boxing. It's also pretty ambitious to predict that a man who's never scored a stoppage in a boxing match can KO a man who's never been dropped, and has one of the top defenses of all time.

It doesn't HAVE TO BE the Gatti version of Floyd to win this fight by stoppage. The Gatti version of Floyd is long gone... but on Saturday, he's in with a man who by ALL logic, appears to have SUAR boxing skill.

 

Well, at this point, fuck it! No need in even debating it, cause we're not months out. We'll find out in 4 days.

 

Canelo/Chavez Jr did 1 million PPV buys. I think Canelo vs McGregor in Mexico would do well.

 

McGregor will crush thus blllllack tomato-can in the first quarter of the fight.

 

European Fighters Typically TRAVEL Well when Fighting in Vegas...Big Deal...

Dwell on Floyd-Berto @ Your Leisure; FACT is, the 3 Highest Selling PPV's in Combative Sports History All Have 1 Thing in Common...

Floyd Mayweather....

It's Comical how a Handful of You MMA Guys are Trying to Make This ALL About McGregor, as if Floyd DOESN'T Have the 3 Highest Selling PPV's Ever...

And if Mayweather-McGregor Surpasses Those 3, Floyd Will Have STILL Been the Headliner...

Not Even Sure What's Being Debated Here...






REED

 

Damn Shame the Company McGregor ACTUALLY Fights For WON'T Pay him as Much as Boxing Will...

If He's This DRAW You and Others INSIST He Is, WHYtheFUCK is he Boxing???...

And WHYtheFUCK is the Same Company, that WON'T Pay Him What Boxing Will, Getting a CUT of his Boxing Purse???...






REED

 

Good points by REED.

 

UFC is cheap as fuck that's for sure. If Conor fought Floyd in UFC (without the boxing alternative) the pay would literally go something like this 10 mill for Floyd 10 mill for Conor 500 mill for the UFC.

 

It'll be a blow to the credibility of boxing to the casual fan...if the supposed best fighter in boxing (which is what the casual fan thinks of Floyd) loses to an MMA guy who's a novice at boxing. It's simple logic....don't overanalyze it.

 

McGregor is under contract with the UFC and they're not going to allow him to leave. They'll get everything they can out of him no matter what.

 

Agreed.

Floyd will wipe him out in any case, possibly v early.

 

Oh they would still pay that's for sure. Just as mma fans are not generally knowledgeable about boxing, boxing fans are not knowledgeable about mma. A fight is a fight. It's us vs them mentality. Wherever this shit landed it would sell.

 

If the class action lawsuit goes though, UFC will be forced to open the books and expose just how much money was stolen from the fighters.

 

By Your OWN Admission, "The Diaz Brothers are Draws", So You Can Scratch McGregor's Top 2 PPV's, Using the Same Premise You're Trying to Use AGAINST Floyd...

And the Alvarez Fight was an Unbelievably STACKED UFC Card, Which Again, By Your OWN Admission Shouldn't Be Attributed to Any Single Fighter...

Even UFC 194 Had an UNDEFEATED Chris Weidman ("The Anderson Silva Killer") on the Undercard...

S0000, Using the SAME "Logic" You're Using Against Floyd, What EXACTLY Has McGregor Done PPV Wise???...

Can't Have it Both Ways...





REED

 

It would sell. Casual fans by far are the majority. Shit talking sells. Conor would promise to keep it on the feet a video would "leak" of Floyd ourwrestling a wrestler and grappling with a Gracie...card would be stacked...are you kidding me??? By far it would do the best UFC numbers ever...by far...i think you underestimate how much people hate Floyd...thats why they tune in...you think they will tune in because they expect a great fight Saturday? Wake up man it's the popular kid vs the most hated kid and everyone's watching

 

You're wrong on this one. If it was a 1 fight ppv and on one hand Floyd vs a scrub and on the other Conor vs a scrub...conor does better numbers. Conor sells the shit out of fights. Floyd just shows up. People tune in to see him lose. If they perceive his opponent as a non threat they tune out AKA the berto fight.

 

No, REED's Point Is, Why Hasn't UFC Shelled Out Boxing Type Money to ANY MMAist Ever, PARTICULARLY Conor???...

@ NO Point has REED Suggested UFC Pay 100mil Apiece for Floyd-McGregor in the Octagon...Not Sure WHERE You're Pulling That From...

REED is Calling UFC's Pay Scale in it's ENTIRETY to the Carpet...The Same Way Randy Couture and Jon Jones Have, PRIOR to Conor...

If McGregor's This Draw Ya'll Say he Is, Then he SHOULDN'T have to BOX to Generate a Career High Payday, Should He???...

This Idea of UFC "Eventually Surpassing" Boxing is Being DEFECATED Upon by the Biggest UFC Star, in History, Engaging in a BOXING Match...And You Know BETTER than REED that Competition or a 'Challenge' has NATHAN to Do w/It...

It's SOLELY Based on the FACT UFC has Clearly Demonstrated to Conor that he WON'T Make Boxing Money as an MMAist...





REED

 

Now You're CONTRADICTING Yourself...

Until THIS Particular Debate, You've Stated Numerous Times (Int his Same Thread) that "Stacked UFC Cards Sell Well", Yet when McGregor's on a "Stacked UFC Card", he CARRIED that Card, All of a Sudden???...

Woodley was Coming Off a VERY Impressive KO of the Very Popular Robbie Lawler...More than that, Wonderboy was Being Built as Some REAL LIFE, Freakish, Undefeated, Streetfighter 2 Type of CURIOSITY...

Beyond that, There was Another Title Fight on the Card, the Weidman-Romero Fight, Meisha Tate, w/Frankie Edgar and Numagomedov vs Johnson on the Prelims...

You Know Good and Fucking Well McGregor DIDN'T "Carry" that Card, Dude...UFC INTENTIONALLY STACKED it because it was @ MSG...

You Know MORE About MMA than REED Ever Will, but REED Knows MORE Than Enough about it to Fall for Bullshit Like You're Trying to Pull...
