‘Impossible’ Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight is on

[Bodha]

Watched the presser.

Mayweather seemed like he had some shtick ready. He had some lines prepared. He came off like a WWE wrestler "let me tell you something Mean Gene!".

Conor seemed completely unprepared to speak, however hes naturally a better talker than Mayweather so he still came off very funny. Had some killer barbs for Mayweather.

Crowd was overwhelmingly pro Conor, which is expected.

I haven't paid for a boxing match since Tyson vs Lennox Lewis. Never again.

my last one was Tyson V Holyfield....

I was upstairs playing video games through the entire undercard.... I paid for everything, the fight, the beer, the barbeque...had all the fellas over.
came downstairs for the fight....then,...the ear biting...fight over...money wasted.

saddest part was..Holyfield was not fighting a great fight,...had Tyson stayed patient I really think he could have won that fight.

the best bit for me was connor telling him he hasn't knocked anyone down in 20 years. and mayweather bringing up the octagon you could sense connor would not appreciate that if it was raw....idk if that stuff is or not.

But it was a good show!

Don't be shocked if paid gate on Aug. 26 for #MayweatherMcGregor exceeds $75 million and possibly $80 million. Record is $72mm from #MayPac

In hindsight, the Floyd-McGregor press tour probably could have been two cities. In the end, it devolved to two teens hurling lame insults.

 

[Finito]

First two were hilarious the last two were bad and not bad good but bad bad.

Holyfield was dominating Tyson the second fight. Biting his ear was Mikes way of quitting.

Mayweather hasn't knocked anyone out is many, many years... Now, at 40 years old, the experts say he's gonna knock out one of the toughest guys he's ever faced?? LOL...
Mayweather, if age hasn't caught him yet, will certainly win... But, it won't be by knockout.

Speaks more about what people think about MacGregor than Floyd IMO.

Nothing would be better if at the bell of round 1 Conor throws a spinning kick, intentionally not hitting Floyd, but just to freak him and everyone else out.

 

[Finito]

Anyone seen "the great white hype" pretty much what this is.

Floyd is a boxing computer he's damn near perfect and flat out impossible to hit clean.

Connor pretty much loses all his money if he tries anything out of the boxing rules in this fight don't expect to see any spinning back kicks.

Make no mistake Connor knows he has no chance he's here for the payday. He could fight for Dana White for 20 years and not make what he's gonna make in one night with Floyd

I cannot stand Mayweather and feel he has spent his career ducking real fights vs fighters in their prime... and I'd lump this into the same category. I'm excited for the fight because of the spectacle but I don't think McGregor has a prayer.

And I do think he gets knocked out. I know Mayweather is not a power puncher but I expect Conor to get frustrated by Mayweather's turtling defense and start to open himself up more and more to nasty counter punches. I'd bet on KO round 5 or 6.

Mike Tyson Says Conor McGregor Will 'Get Killed' in Floyd Mayweather Fight

Mike Tyson does not believe Conor McGregor stands a chance against Floyd Mayweather.

The former boxer revealed in an interview with podcast Pardon My Takethat he believes McGregor made a serious mistake agreeing to boxing rules for the fight (h/t Chris Chavez of SI.com):

"McGregor is going to get killed boxing. I got mad because I thought they were going to use MMA rules against boxing because that's what it's all about: Can the boxer beat the MMA guy? McConor [sic] put his dumba*** in a position where he's gonna get knocked out because this guy's been doing this all his life since he was a baby. McConor [sic] can't kick and grab and stuff so he won't stand much of a chance."

Floyd Mayweather Suggests He'll Make $300 Million for Conor McGregor Fight
Floyd Mayweather Jr. expects to make over $300 million for fighting Conor McGregor on Aug. 26.

Appearing on Showtime's All Access: Mayweather vs. McGregor, Money said he believes he can trump the mammoth payout he earned for his May 2015 superfight against Manny Pacquiao.

"I mean, am I the highest-paid athlete out there? And just coming back? We not talking about no contract," Mayweather said, according to TMZ Sports. "We not talking about no contract for no four years, or no contract for no five years. I can do it in 36 minutes. $300 (million) or better. In 36 minutes."
