The Unknown Poster Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 13 hours ago, FrostyWinnipeg said: But it is boxing where many a fight has been predetermined by a man in a fedora hat. Let's not forget that in 1994 George Foreman at age 45, regained a portion of the heavyweight championship by knocking out 27-year-old Michael Moorer to win the unified WBA, IBF, and lineal titles. and Holyfield-Lewis 1. I watched that fight on PPV. Foreman was an enigma. A very talented fighter who altered his style with age, could absorb an enormous amount opf punishment. The odds were better for Foreman than McGregor. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like when people say Connor is a world class striker... no he isn't. The Kimbo/Brock Lesnar cross over can work because in MMA the heavyweight division is so thin on talent that their may only be 10 really good guys and fringe big men can make it in easily. Even saying that, Kimbo was a joke in MMA. Brock was actually a world class wrestler with ridiculous strength, power and speed. And even sayng that, if Brock boxed someone, he'd get knocked out. He did get knocked silly by guys with far less talent. Connor is a world class striker in MMA. Not in boxing. If this was an MMA fight, Mayweather wouldn't last 30 seconds. I think mcGregor's only chance is a major boner on Mayweather's part (figuratively) or he bum rushes Maywaeather immediately, shocks him and lands a miraculous flurry. Which wont happen.

SpeedFlex27 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I hope Mayweather gets the you know what beaten out of him. It'll be a boxing match so it won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the all time great achievements in boxing. And a pretty dang good fight too. Punchers chance and not much more then that is what mcg has. Against floyd, itd basically be like the phantom punch. The only less probable out come of that fight is floyd KOing mcg. 45 minutes ago, Fraser said: McGregor is gonna get destroyed If by destroyed you mean have a marathon ran around him get tapped by glass hands in massive pillows and be really really tired then yes.

Fraser Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) You have about zero idea what you're talking about. McGregor is going to be so outclassed he's gonna taking a nap. This is going to go about as well as mayweather Hatton if it started in the 7th round. Edited June 17, 2017 by Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes a good bit smaller then mcg, and fights even more cautiously with his hands in the last few fights then ever before. Floyd back then and prior could ko mcg. And probably would in the later rounds when he is gassed. But today? you couldnt be more wrong. floyds only chance of a ko is if mcg gasses worse then dada 5000. And that wont happen, he isnt gonna be half past dead going into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCon Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 McG may be in phenomenal shape going in but he's never boxed before. 5 rounds of MMA is gruelling but surviving 12 rounds of boxing is different. You have to pace yourself differently. I could totally see McG struggling to pace himself, throwing punches at Mayweather, gassing himself by the 8th round. It will be interesting, which, again, is why I want to see this fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Pop Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 The only sure thing of this fight: it's going to massively underwhelm the fight fans, and be even worse for casual fans. Atomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Some money info coming in unofficially. Mayweather claims the gate was $80 million. Dana White claims 6.5 million PPV buys. If true it will mean about $300 million for Mayweather, $100 million for Conner and $50 million for the UFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 That sounds about right, big money for everyone involved. I don't see any other fight in the near future generating that kind of revenue in any of the sports... bigg jay and SPuDS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigg jay Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 It will be a long time before we see that kind of money fight again (which is why the made the fight in the 1st place). There are much better fights coming up (like Canelo vs GGG) but nothing that will sell & bring in casual fans. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
