As if it is actually possible to bring embarrassment to a sport that had a guy take time out of keeping his dealer's pool warm to turn up to a press conference in a Batman costume and gave Audley Harrison a career.
Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather | Again?
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date
What a load of horseshit.
You let Mayweather away with just being a Semi retired boxer?!
And it's the McGregor crowd that's supposed to be unbearable then.
What did McGregor do that makes him a thug?
Eh?? McGregor is not a semi-retired boxer.
What are the odds these two will come back at same point next year to fight in octagon?
None. Floyds hands are too brittle
The marketing potential of that fight, after McGregor inevitably losing this year, would be great.
What are the odds on McGregor? I'm thinking of dropping $200 on him, stranger things have happened. Personally, I think they should have done a 2 fight deal. MMA fight after the boxing!
Despite what Floyd said in the first presser, he'd be petrified of entering the Octagon with McGregor. Won't ever happen.
Bookies must love you. This is why I love the build up. About to drop $200 on a 0-0 amateur boxer against one of the greatest.
Absolutely. McGregor will kill Mayweather in MMA and choke the fool out in round 1 but hands only, no grappling, no legs no elbows no floor work? Since this is a boxing match not an MMA fight, Mayweather would win this. Mayweather spent more than twice the time using his fists. Mayweather is not dumb enough to ruin his legend unless he is made a billionaire. After defeating McGregor, he will go down in history as he bests Rocky Marciano's 49-0 record.
And I love them too, I won a significant sum on Trump and Brexit. You win some, you lose some so I'm fine with giving them some back.
My money is on McGregor simply because I root for anyone to beat Mayweather because he's a 'dick'. Is that selfish?
I've love for it too happen. I don't know if there would be an arena big enough for McGregor's head if he did though! I have to respect the guys confidence though, when you hear him talking at the press conferences your heart tells you "Stick $200 on him" because he just sounds so convinced.Absolutely.

Yep. I've stuck a fairly big wager on him myself. Chances are I'll probably lose it but it won't bother me in the slightest as I've won a tidy some of cash on him in the last few years.
I see what you did there.
I want both of them to get knocked the feck out.
Surely this has happened in boxing before, no?

Paddy Power offer odds of 200/1 for a simultaneous knock-out.
I'd splash 10 quid on that if I could, or could be arsed to log in through a proxy.
Mayweather's obsession with money is crazy. I don't think it's all that uncommon for people to adore wealth, but he seems to take it another level. Everything he says he will always bring back to and justify by using the money he's made or his 'numbers'. I'm sure I've even seen a picture of him sleeping with a dollar duvet 
... Must be a psychological thing.
... Must be a psychological thing. this is a forum to actually express your opinions. If you like it, good for youSo this event is a mix of a wrestling and roasting or something like that?
Really? Mildly entertaining at best...
It needed more Oscar de la Hoya, Mario Lopez and mentions of sponsors...
No chance mate that Floyd will do MMA. Like others said McGregor would kick the shit out of him. Even the worst in the division would beat the shit out of Floyd.
Plus the transition from boxing to MMA is harder than MMA to boxing.
The key difference is that Floyd has never trained or competed in MMA in his life whereas Conor has trained and competed in boxing since being a child.
Just watched the Torronto second press conference and oh my god, soooo good. I'm not into UFC or the men love making on the floor whatever it is, only watched odd clips but McGreggor is awesome, he's up there with Fury, Naz Hammed and Ali.
I thought he completely owned Floyd in the first one but most of the US media seemed to think Floyd took it. I think Connor is just naturally more funny and confident than Mayweather. But damn, that second one, Connor killed him, he was choking up there when he went second like when Eminen choked in 8 mile. The comments about his clothing, saying F the Mayweathers, the swagger, picking up his bag of money after he picked up the Irish flag (like when he came out in a United shirt to win Hatton up in Manchester). Connor just topped him every time.
And then we cut back to Showtime 3 piece panel who admitted Connor McGreggor was out on top but tried to say their Showtime boy Floyd was almost as good, no he wasn't he got owned and embarrassed himself. The crowd owned him also. That dance when he came out, did someone who wanted money or one of his entourage arselickers tell him it was a good dance or something. Floyd playing the calm card, drinking his cup slow and that, he just looked scared to me.
Brilliant, loved it. Can't wait for the London one. Are they doing an Irish presser?

I love McGregor. He has absolutely no class, he's vulgar, he knows how to push buttons, he's rough as feck and just general scum. He knows that, and thrives on people knowing that. He's a showman and knows how to run the cash wagon that is the interviews/face-offs with Mayweather.
I just think he's hilarious for those reasons.
Don't like Mayweather.
Team McGregor.

No I don't think so, I'd be surprised if Mayweather even agreed to that. He would lose before it begins.
I'm enjoying how much it all seems to be annoying some people
It's an obvious set up and everyone is making obsene amounts of money from it.
I share your amusement
What time is today's?
His head's tooooo smaaaawwwlllll
What I will say is that Floyd looks huge, like 160lbs+. Strange for him.

11:30pm
Really? I don't think so.
Probably 12.30 then? Took Floyd an hour to actually show up.
Floyd said he was at weight now at the last presser.
Scared of what?!!
You could say exactly the same about Mayweather.
