Connor once said he wasn't here to take part, he was here to take over. He looked very happy to have taken part during that interview. Happy to be here and double his net worth in one night.
Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather | Again?
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date
Mayweather won by TKO. So...yeah, it was.
I'm not sure whose scorecard that is, but that seems very generous.
Maybe its the accent but his excuses reminded me of Roy Keane. Everyone was crap in our team according to him when in reality he was the one who was walking on the pitch.
Conor won 3 rounds, maybe 4 rounds. Three of those rounds, the first 3, Floyd wasn't even fighting. Floyd only started towards the end of the 4th. So yea, it was close in that Conor won rounds when Floyd was standing in front of him and not throwing lol.
As expected.
I think he's just acting like that to make it a little more interesting, like Northug. With such a few matches during a year they really have to make the most out of everything else.
Has Floyd protected the good name of boxing with that win?
Rematch in an octagon or Floyd is a fanny.

I bet Carl Froch was disappointed by the birth of his kids because he wasn't involved. The man finds no joy in anything other than himself. Couldn't even find complimentary words for a boxing novice to land shots on the best boxer of this generation.
As there was argument over who won the 4th it's safe to say from the 5th round, this fight went exactly how every boxing fan thought it would.
Shouldn't be classified as a pro boxing match though. Fair play to both guys all the same.

So how much we going to read about how well McGregor did to last to round 10??
The length of the fight doesn't determine how well he has done, especially against a defensive boxer like Mayweather.. It was over from round 4.

Fair play, mate. Watching a big fight does get the blood pumping doesn't it.
Just relieved Floyd took him out. Would've been unbearable if Mcgregor had won - the BBC are talking now like he did win! It's bizarre.
I like that comparisonA pretty awful strategy if you ask me. Let the other guy gas and then start fighting.
A lot. Because both sports feel the need to defend the fact this nonsense happened.
"Is that a moral victory?"
No, love, it's a financial victory.

the fecker who put 15k on it can't be serious
This.
Floyd scouted for 2 rounds and then outclassed, outboxed and out thought him. Fair play to McGregor for getting in there but he had no right to share a ring with Mayweather and it showed.
After the fight I said, after.
McGregor knew he could take this fight, make a fortune and maintain his position in the UFC - worst possible scenario was he became a meme. I don't know what's to criticise when it's exactly what we expected.
Outcome was the best he could've expected really.
Bellew summed it up quite well.

This is quite a useful demonstration of what professional skill looks like when put up against rank amateur. Give them age and size advantage and the the novice will still look out of his depth. That level of skill is something you can't always appreciate when two pros go at it.
Make it a 6 rounds fight and Floyd would win all 6.
It's clear that Mayweather had no intention of making this obviously one sided from the start. The whole machine wanted a charade of a spectacle.
15K as in 15000 pounds?
Please tell me it's some currency with a significant exchange rate with Euro/Pound/DollarThat was actually fun for once. Boxing is a fecking awful spectator sport but get someone who isn't a traditional boxer in there and they actually start fighting each other instead of pawing at each others gloves and cuddling each other.
I fecking hate McGregor but fair fecks to him he did well and certainly surprised me. I'm not sure whether I buy Mayweather just letting him do his work in the first few rounds but it wouldn't surprise me. Being cynical you'd say Mayweather probably could've had him on his arse in 10 seconds but played the match out for the propaganda and spectacle.
Like McGregor said though, why not just let them continue the damn fight until he's out on the floor. If nothing else he deserves it for being a gigantic bellend.

I remember Lille did that to United years ago under Fergie. Think it ended 1-0 to them in france. They played tight while saving energy and towards the end they started attacking when United was tired.
I asked for predictions before the fight, almost everyone had Floyd by stoppage, nobody thought it would take that long.
Yeah, boxings shite and boring anyway, noone even got kicked in the face, ovenmitted wankers.
Conor lasted longer than Hatton did.
No he wasn't be disrespectful at all mate, he was very respectful. The ref may have been protecting him but he was knackered and wobbling from being tired, he never really looked hurt all fight IMO, despite taking a fair few shots. Mayweather just ain't got the power in these years of his career, hence why he's never properly KO'd anyone since Ricky.
Usually in USA they let the fighter take some real pain and go down a few times before stoppage, in the UK they are more known for early stoppage in boxing, IE Froch Grove 1.
How you lose 15k?
Absolutely mentalthe fecker who put 15k on it can't be serious
Like the result was ever in doubt. Mayweather coasted for a few rounds to avoid making this scam get exposed. Give him a bonus to double his purse money if he wins in the first round and we would actually have something worth watching instead of this.
Floyd was never in trouble. He toyed with McGregor, waited for him to tire himself out and then finished it in the tenth, though it could've been sooner.
The biggest victory was how they conned the gullible public into thinking this was going to be in any way competitive and parting them with their money.

is there a requirement for the ring girls to always be visible
I actually hate it
The fake smiling/grimacing for the whole time is kinda scaryMayweather wasn't 40.
McGregors and Keanes accents couldn't be anymore.different. Chalk & Cheese.
Belt away back to the football forums with your anti Keane shite.
Good lad.
I read that and tried to comprehend what he meant by 15k. Couldn't believe he was talking about a betthe fecker who put 15k on it can't be serious
