Mayweather via massacre inside of 6. Referee stoppage.

Lets make it interesting and do a signature bet.

Loser has to put whatever the winner wants in their signature for one month.

I got Mayweather. Any takers?

What's the competition?

Plumbing stuff!

Sounds a bit one sided.

Nah, man. The electrician is seriously one of the best electricians out there!

Haha, well it's the electrician's fault to agreeing to a plumbing contest.

Floyd's gonna win the bout but from a financial stand-point both men will win.

Now who wants to bet on how long it'll take Floyd to blow through the purse? I say 2.5 year.

Well, Conor's MMA career was fun while it lasted.

No chance he fights Tony, Khabib or even Nate after cashing in 100M to get slapped around by Floyd.

Hell; FM & CM may become so enamoured with the money. They may be tempted to stretch it out to a trilogy / best of 3, if the first is 'viable' enough.

If a renowned puncher like Pacquiao couldn't come close given that it's his own sport, I don't see how McGregor stands a chance. If he can last 6 rounds he's doing well. Mayweather will wear him down over 4-6 rounds and then TKO him, and that's if McGregor keeps him on the defensive. If he can't do that it'll be over in three.

Everyone's a winner (unless you bet on McGregor).

Edit: Unless Mayweather goes down to create the biggest shock in sporting history, leading to an even more lucrative rematch...just saying...(it wouldn't affect his perfect record would it?)

Floyd is gaming us again.

In the mean-time, Conor will provide the entertainment :

That's Mayweather's father by the way...

For the record , in a pure boxing match, Mayweather's father wins.

It's an interesting one. Early days 'Pretty Boy' Floyd would absolutely smash him to pieces. Now, due to his hand trouble (and age perhaps), I expect a very easy points win. But, even with hand trouble—Floyd really should knock him out due to the sheer gulf in class.

It's an exhibition circus act, but I will most definitely watch.

Lot of haters out there but you have to tip your hat to Connor. That guy played his cards better than any MMA fighter before him. After this fight, he and his family are set for life. He has no need to ever work again. His child will have whatever it needs. Connor could even drift into the movies scene as a next Statham for action films.

Well done.

I think he's sorta mediocre as a fighter, but he's an awesome marketing case study.

I'm not a big fan of CM myself, but I actually respect that he makes so much of a scene before a fight that you're certain his opponent is getting paid because of those PPV numbers.

I'm a huge UFC fan, been watching it for decades, love Conor's trash-talking, the guy really gets how to sell a big fight better than anyone in the world, and he may be one of the best LWs ever at MMA....but no way can Conor be expected to win this.

This fight reminds me of that movie The Great White Hype, Floyd could probably come to the ring looking like Damon Wayans and still win.

Only in America



Oh what a sweet payday it will be though!

True, but Mayweather simply won't accept any fight where he has even a slim chance of losing. His reputation is his livelihood, and he's earned it. Not going to risk it all now, not even close.

I mean, good for both of these guys, especially Connor. This is nothing more than pure entertainment though.

It will be interesting to see what the sportsbooks do. In most events like this, they wouldn't even take any bets because the odds would be so long. However it is boxing...you can't just NOT have a betting market.

From following McGregor, I think he has full intention of winning the fight and causing an upset. It's in his nature to win and not take an L before the fight even starts. The final result would be the same of him making his biggest payday against Mayweather.

No idea on game plan for McGregor, doesn't really clinch and fight on the inside. Main weapon would be his left which he would need to set up somehow. They'll be using boxing gloves not mma gloves so his power may be reduced. His counter game could be the only option but against Mayweather who fights defensively it would be hard. I don't see McGregor rushing him either, will be interesting to see how this fight plays out.

Why is this even allowed? It's like a fight between an archer and a knight, except the knight is not allowed to use a shield or charge.

This fight Money Mayweather is doing 1 day after my birthday takes me back some 5 years ago when I was all over G Manifesto's site watching boxing videos of Mayweather and the awesome defensive show he puts on in his matches. The good ol' days.

Seriously though the guy is seriously hard to hit and his punches throughout each round accumulate into being to great to overcome. Some people call him a dancer but in reality he is just a defensive boxer that calculates not only when he wants to punch but also how and from what angle he takes his punches from.

Floyd must being paid to take a dive, there is no way McGregor could even win a boxing match with him.

This is what i'm thinking. The odd's will be insane, probably something like +1500 or so for Conor. Mayweather could take his entire purse of 100 million, put it on Conor and cash out a cool 1.5 billion. Then the inevitable rematch that would happen.

Post: #46

Yeah this is crazy. There's just no way McGregor could EVER stand toe to toe with Mayweather. Mayweather would absolutely decimate him methodically and with precision. He would make McGregor look like a FOOL.

Mayweather must be getting a NICE paycheck for this dog and pony show. If he's taking a dive he's probably getting paid hundreds of millions...

Last year, a video of McGregor sparing with former IBO welterweight champion Chris van Heerden appeared on the internet. Judging by the video, I don't rate McGregors chances too highly

(ignore the shit music)




Here's Chris talking about the sparing session.

I'm putting $1K on McGregor. Mayweather will be kissing the canvas in 5. Then McGregor will demand a piece of the UFC to fight again.

I want to cry at these $$$ figures. Its absolutely fascinating to me how Mayweather's mind works. The guy is basically illiterate but is making more money than 99% of literate people lol.
