Conor McGregor vs Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr - BIG MONEY FIGHT
My opinion on this fight first of all...
Conor McGregor has NO CHANCE at beating Floyd Mayweather at boxing
Whether Conor McGregor knows it or not, he is being paid to lose a boxing match. This payment will be very big, possibly $100 million for him win or lose. So it appears to be a win win situation for Conor McGregor.
Floyd Mayweather is in an exhibition fight which could be worth $1 billion
This is nothing more an an exhibition match similar to Ali vs Inaki. But this will be a fun exhibition match and because it will be fun people will pay to see it. It is not going to effect the legacy of Mayweather and I'm not even sure if the fight will be in the official rankings, but it will be entertaining I think and will make a lot of money.
Yes agreed. Everyone would love to fight floyd for 100 millions. It's riskier for Floyd so he will be paid more. Fair enough. I am guessing Floyd win by Decision. Don't wanna KO Conor too early, to keep the chances of MMA fighters beating boxers, so there will be some more fights like this in the future worth billions
I think we'll be surprised! I feel like Conor's going to have an awkward enough style to put Floyd in some uncomforatble positions. The power and size advantage falls into Conors ballpark.
I've done a few posts about it if you would like to check my page out!
Hi king-crypto. Yes I hope Conor wins. Younger, bigger, and more exciting to watch
Me too! He really has proven to be the most exciting personality to watch in the last couple of years!
I bet on Conor. Get more return, just for fun
What about taking Mayweather KO by round 4?
i say connor will lose
Yes I agree. I believe Connor will get knocked out by the sixth round. Did you see any of his sparring sessions yet? He looks awful
I would love to see this match :)
Love boxing
Interesting. Most people that love boxing that I know are hating this fight. They think it's disrespectful to boxing.
Given the terms of the contract restricting them to boxing (as I have heard it), it is kind of like the NBA Champion Golden State Warriors taking on the 8th seed in the East's bench players only.
I can see that argument, but I'll be watching.
Yeah, it's not like they won't be watching either, right. Haha. It's just that most boxers will never even be able to sniff Floyd's boxers, and yet this 'amateur' boxer is being given the opportunity.
It will be interesting to see if McGregor can resist using other MMA techniques and just box.
In the fight contract, there are financial penalties imposed upon McGregor if he uses MMA moves.
I imagine for him, MMA is like muscle memory.
It's like trying not to blink when something comes close to your eye.
Which may make him "tight" in the ring. He doesn't want to do anything that puts his $100MM payday at risk!
Joe Rogan was musing on that on his podcast. He was saying that if it DID happen, Floyd would get messed up like he's never been.
It'd definitely be a spectacle to behold.
id love to see a real match but this would be as fixed as the WWE..no chance id pay for it
I wholeheartedly agree that Mcgregor has no chance in a boxing match, Floyd is way too slick, too fast, and too skillful. I think Mcgregor will go to throw a punch and Floyd just won't be there. BUT, if Conor does by some miracle land that left of his, it could be tickets for Floyd - and if there is anyone in the world that could pull off such a miracle - that would be Mcgregor. Upvoted & following.
Conner will definitely be frustrated. Might slip in a leg kick lol you heard it here first
The chances of McGregor winning are vanishingly small. Its basically like putting a champion crossfitter against a champion weightlifter in a weightlifting competition. Barring a complete fluke the crossfitter would never win. Same with McGregor. It's not even a competition.
This fight is the same as if Terrell Owens played basketball against micheal Jordan it's a cash grab I don't think mcgregor can't go toe to toe with mayweather in boxing ring but that goes vice versa mayweather would get tooled on in a mma fight
I'm hoping to make some money off of the no-thinking, betting-with-their-heart folks who put money on McGregor early. The betting line for Mayweather got pushed down quickly early, because of the MMA-fan, Irish-prider, simply-racist, or simply not-too-smart bettors getting in early and often. Now, it appears as though the line has settled down.
Right now might be a good time to put some money on Mayweather (line is at -600 at Bovada at the time of this posting), before the smart money comes in and makes his line more expensive again. This is simply a money grab for both guys, and everyone knows it. Might as well grab some money for myself while we're at it!
