Mayweather if it goes beyond 5-6 rounds. Connor needs to KO him early to have any chance

Do you think Mayweather will knock him out !! Been a long long time since he has. He only seems to do just enough to win. Slips punches and but doesn't capitalise on the advantage in the way a hungry fighter would.

I'm not saying McGregor will win but it could be very interesting.

Tbh, Floyd has faced many big punchers like Cotto, Pacquiao, Hatton, Mosley and Alvarez could all box, hit harder and move faster than McGregor in a boxing ring...

McGregor is an amazing MMA fighter but I think he'll run out of steam and tank out in Round 5.

McGreggor can't hit hard, He cant last long, and he isn't fast.

Mayweather has beaten people who have landed more punches to him, and done more damage to him than he has done to him.

If McGreggor wins, then its because Mayweather took the fight as a joke and didnt even bother to do the basic training. It happens boxers who come out of retirement all the time. They just lose their edge. It's always awful to see because it doesnt mean the new guy is good, it just means the old guy should have never come out of retirement.

Can I ask a more serious question. Who here thinks Conor would beat Frampton? I think he would be boxed out of the ring meeting any boxer in his prime.

Boxing has become a joke and sad to see! McGregor shouldn't be in there fighting in 1st place! Bit disrespectful for all the top boxers in that weight division to not be given a chance to take on mayweather again in some cases! And Frampton not making the weight for his fight! Disgrace that, both he and his camp very unprofessional to let that happen! Lucky for him the guy he was supposed to fight took a drive in the shower!

Well it hasn't sold out yet anyway. The Manni fight sold out quicker.

Although word is, these tickets are more expensive.

I agree with this if mayweather carries it passed 5 rounds he will carry it the distance slipping and landing punches, I like mcgregor but don't think he has enough experience in the boxing ring after 5 rounds

Dunno, according to the independent the fight sold out in minutes and quote "Only those who had signed up for Ticketmaster’s ‘verified fans’ scheme could purchase tickets in the sale, and only two tickets could be purchased at a time. " most other fights are always a free for all when it comes to ticket sales

how do you compare a leisure sport (golf) with a physically demanding sport (tennis)? and then compare the two to 2 combat sports? I get what you're trying to do but surely you could have used squash/racketball/badminton in your analogy instead of golf no?

Ideally it would be a 3 fight deal one boxing as per MoQ rules one in the octagon and the 3rd a street fight as per Rocky 5 perhaps?

Choice of sports as comparison is moot. Facts remain. 2 sportsmen from two similar, yet different, disciplines are fighting in a boxing match. The boxer has a huge advantage. Boxer wins.

Golf is not physically demanding. Really?

Why would Mayweather agree to this? MMA is a knackers sport, fought by nice guys in a controlled environment.

Let me see. Both can be played on grass. Both use a small ball being hit with an implement held in the hand(s). Both need high degree of swing accuracy and precision and timing. Both are very lucrative.

Yes I stand by my assessment that golf is not physically demanding in a sporting context,some people may find it difficult to walk a golf course but people like that would find any form of leisurely stroll taxing.I have played golf and found it quite relaxing very leisurely and in all honestly a bit of a doddle if you don't mind losing a ball or 12. I have also tried tennis and there is not one iota of a comparison in the level of physicality required for both. I have also boxed and fought in different disciplines so to compare golf/tennis to boxing/mma is a total non starter.As for asking why Mayweather would agree to MMA it's quite simple he is ego driven to almost the same extent as he is money driven,so if it were put to him that he cannot consider himself the superior fighter were he to win in a boxing match he may indeed feel the need to try and prove himself,that said if he lost in the boxing match then there would be no need for any other contest.

MCGregor will use dirty tactics and throw a few illegal elbows and maybe ground and pound him if he knocks him down. MCG is going in to fight and not box. That's all he knows.

I can see Mayweather getting knocked down at least once and MCG getting disqualified for illegal antics maybe!

You are telling me that if a 40 year old rtired boxer dancs McGreggor out of the ring its a good thing for MMA and MMA will prove its the best sport?

It does nothing but confirm UFC does not care about setting up the best fighters to face each other, and just wants a pay day.

It's really gone down hill from when everyone earned a title shot and got the title shot.

Oh dear. Boxing has a hell of a lot more rules than MMA. You can pin a guy down and repeatedly elbow him in the face perfectly legally. It is only when the red deems him to no longer capable of a reasonable defence is the fight stopped. This is barbaric. It is not sport. It's like a game from a dystopian movie we saw in the 90's that we never believed would come true. I mean, who the Fuck would want to see another human being beaten in this manner. Boxing is not the same, don't be facetious.

As I said, I am a pacifist.

I think boxing as a sport is entertaining. MMA is barbaric. Don't like it. Or anyone involved in it. so a punch in the face from a boxer is entertaining but a punch in the face from an mma fighter is barbaric..you dont make many valid points..as for your dislike off mma and everyone involved im sure they are gutted..Oh dear. Boxing has a hell of a lot more rules than MMA. You can pin a guy down and repeatedly elbow him in the face perfectly legally. It is only when the red deems him to no longer capable of a reasonable defence is the fight stopped. This is barbaric. It is not sport. It's like a game from a dystopian movie we saw in the 90's that we never believed would come true. I mean, who the Fuck would want to see another human being beaten in this manner. Boxing is not the same, don't be facetious.

As I said, I am a pacifist. "

what has you been a pacifist got to do with it..?

As a former competitive boxer and kickboxer aswell as an mma fan my opinion is that mayweather wins this "exhibition" whenever and however he chooses to. The best boxers of his generation struggle to land a punch on him and he will embarrass mcgregor.

Put them in the octagon and pretty boy doesn't last a round. Their bank accounts are the winners and after this we may never see mcgregor fight again, his future will be secure

"Mma will be the winner in all this. Another nail in boxings coffin

The publicity has put mcgregor and mma on a whole new level and brought it mainstream.

Mma was taking over from boxing anyway this just will speed it up

You are telling me that if a 40 year old rtired boxer dancs McGreggor out of the ring its a good thing for MMA and MMA will prove its the best sport?

It does nothing but confirm UFC does not care about setting up the best fighters to face each other, and just wants a pay day.

It's really gone down hill from when everyone earned a title shot and got the title shot."

It's not boxing vs mma. It's a boxing match.if mcgregor loses it doesn't hurt him or UFC.

My point is this publicity brings mcgregor and mma to a whole new audience and his personality has won a lot of new fans.

Yeah, kinda like the time Floyd Mayweather decided to wrestle Big Show at Wrestlemania... only more of a circus

The bookies and all the sense in the world says Mayweather.

That said the last couple of years in sport and politics and so on there are numerous instances where the underdog by a long shot comes out on top.

Leicester city winning the prem league at 5,000/1. Trump winning the presidency. Brexit coming in. Ireland beating the all blacks in chicago. The cubs winning the world series after 100 years or something. Yes most of these are long shots within the same strata but Trump as a reality tv character was laughed at when he first mentioned about running for the presidency.

For those who hate McGregor , is it a hate of the character he portrays in the press conferences to sell tickets or a deeper personal knowledge of the man. I don't know the chap at all but admire his work ethic and his tenacity to get to where he is today. His persona is all part of it. It helps sell tickets/ppv's. Floyd was the same for years and he is a massive draw as besides his unbeaten record plenty of people despise him as a person. That possibly does have to do with revelations about his personal life but all the same he is a huge ppv attraction.

More power to the two men in the fight for getting to a stage in their careers where they will male the money they stand to on the night. They are doing it for the money. Abspolutely they are. Same as footballers who take a hike to China . Footballing purists may not like the idea but sportsmen and women want decent paydays from their careers.

I will watch it as a spectacle. I will watch it as entertainment. I would love to see McGregor win personally. I know a guy who used go to the gym with him a few years back and he'd know a reasonable amount of the McGregor not known by the media. Not for me to divulge stories but he has some very likeable characteristics to him behind closed doors from what I've heard.

Who knows... Floyd may snap an achilles like David Haye did in the Bellew fight. He may snap an ankle in an off balance moment. Conor may catch him and if he does Floyd may be on his back before he knows it.

Hard to disagree with that ! Showtime in the states will make an absolute fortune.

Mayweather is an old grandad, be serious. Manny is 2 years younger and cant win anymore.

Mcgreggor was clever, he could win.

Lets face it, Mayweather is one of the most over rated boxers out there. Nearly every pro cant understand how he keeps winning on points and rarely does the boxing community think he won fair and square.

McGreggor could knock him out, he could fall over and brake a hip getting in the ring. Every round Maweather lasts connors chances go down.

Unless McGregor comes out in the 1st like a wild bull, sprinting across the ring when the bell goes, it will be an easy nights work for floyd
