I'm not sure either, I thought McGregor didn't win anything after round 3 for the record, but I'm no expert. Either way that's what it said, whoever put it together.
Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather | Again?
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date
Yeah definitely don't want the woman beater to be one laying there with his face 'torn open'.
This wasn't a sporting spectacle. It was a marketing gimmick. Obviously Mayweather wasn't going to lose to a guy who isn't even a boxer.
Its obviously not a disgrace to the sport. Check out the number of punches Conor landed against Floyd in contrast to Pacquiao and Canelo. He did nearly as well against Floyd as a good number of top contenders did in recent years.
I prefer one's where it's not certain that someone suffers damage.
From the guys who won! Bizarre.
"LOLZ McGregor got beat!!"
By one of the best ever. The worst are the cnuts going with the "Floyd's washed up, he's 40" nonsense.
But they were believed to have a chance of winning. The fight was arranged because people thought they could win. Not because people thought they could get punched for a while before inevitable loss.
He's never boxed. I don't see how it's defensible.
He didn't put 15k. Attention seeking.
To be fair, even as someone who thinks McGregor fared alright, a lot of his punches after the first few rounds weren't doing anything at all. Not sure it's the best stat to go by.
nah of course he didn't. why would you post about it if you did
The whole point of sports is not brain damage though is it? This sports very purpose seems to be to induce brain damage.
I don't think combat sports is your thing
If you thought that was violent, never watch MMA
I didn't see the fight so my opinion probably isn't valid but for a novice to go 10 rounds with one of the best ever and to also land more punches than Pacquiao is pretty fecking great honestly.
I dont care for either fighter but this loss does nothing to hurt McGregor.

LOL, I paid nothing. As said many times on here, after the hype of Amir Khan in his first big fight at Manchester Arena when Sky PPV'd it and charged me £15, him them letting the moment get to him and getting banged out in round 1, knocked down twice, there is no way I'll pay for it again. Not paying for a sports package or PPV's.
It amazes me how much people pay per month just to see sport and also polyfiller tv. But we've all been there.
One of the worst things about McGregor hype train is all the people who ride his dick constantly, but this thread is just showing that the ones who hate him are as bad, maybe even worse. Some people are really weird, I especially don't get that much anger when the guy you want to win won. What's going on in your own lives that gets you that way?
You are entirely correct. I only watch boxing because it's so popular and I feel I'm missing out if I don't.
I'd watch tiddlywinks if so many people cared.
The punches don't have to do damage, they just have to land. Floyd is considered one of the most defensively elusive fighters in the history of boxing and as you can see, Conor fared pretty well in that regard.
He has been competing in combat sports all his life including boxing. He is a game warrior. No one except @The Black Pearl expected him to win. He did it for the money. Worry about something else.
Thank God this fecking farce of a fight is over. Mayweather probably took his total earnings to over a billion USD and mcgregor double his networth overnight.
Now I don't have to hear about this anymore.
Now I don't have to hear about this anymore.
This is so tiresome.
"Hey guy who fights professionally for a living and in 4 years has gone from the dole to multi champion millionaire, would you like to fight this other absolute legend in a someway similar discipline for bags loads of cash and a slim, slim chance at immortality?
Yeah go on then.
McGregor would have felt he had a chance, he's sparked out a champ of 10 years + in 13 seconds amongst everything else, imagine what that does for your self belief. If nothing else it was to be iconoclastic and to make a bit of history, even with a loss.
Dunno on what planet that's difficult to understand.
Posting in this thread probably doesn't help with that mate
I'd say about 70 of them were harmless slaps to the back of Mayweather's head in clinches.
I worry about lots of things. This won't affect my ability to continue worrying about other things, I assure you.
Sure it looked like Connor had somethimg positive going for him in the first few rounds but it was all part of Mayweather's plan. He's a defensive boxer and he doesn't hide it. He played him perfectly. Just look at the interviews: McGregor was still gassed just talking, Mayweather looked like he just woke up from a nap. It was all about endurance and Mayweather didn't even break a sweat.
Regardless, McGregor had the quote of the night, "No one is taking these risks" - true as day. He came from nothing and wants to provide for his family, market himself and become a brand. He accomplished that already but another 100 million doesn't hurt. Say what you want but this loss doesn't take away from his reputation - and he got paid.

The hype and what actually happens are two different things. Prior to tonight, I thought this was a rather silly idea and was just being done for money. But after Conor's performance, I can see more of this sort of thing happening.
Watch round 9 again, how is that sport? A novice being ragdolled by a pro for 2 minutes is some colosseum shit. Primally it has something about it but morally indefensible.
This is surely an argument for why he wanted the fight. Not why he should've been allowed it?
Of course it doesn't. On paper it goes down as a stoppage but we all saw someone getting hit who was exhausted from joining a longer sport. He wasn't hurt or wobbled and still on his feet at the end despite being tired. Connor comes out looking like David Hayve v Bellew when he was injured before going into the fight then snapped his achilles.Mcgreggor did not all that much in the fight, had little power, but he was never really battered and in the UFC it would be a battering for Floyd, he would quit or be dazed out.
He can toddle off to UFC with even more hype, getting more money with his £100m to quite if he wants and do TV or something with his persona. For Floyd it was another easy $300m he can waste on Veyrons or $1m watches so he can end up like Mike Tyson or Borish Becker.
Wasn't planning on coming back until your quotePosting in this thread probably doesn't help with that mate
222m on Neymar seems completely justified when you see what these guys get for a fight like this. Mental!
If you think people beating each other up is morally indefensible then you should just avoid watching all combat sports.
It's been talked about since the Mendes fight:
I predicted Floyd to win via TKO in round 9, but it would take him a couple of rounds to adjust to McGregor's awkward style. When Floyd doesn't respect you, he'll come forward and box the head off you. I have to give McGregor credit, but he had no business (money talks) being in the ring with TBE. You could tell he wasn't confident about himself at the weigh-ins yesterday. There are levels to this shit.
Yet not one of them knocked a feather out of Mayweather. After being promised McGregor was going to deliver untold justice from his infamous powerful left and his unorthodox angles, it was a tad disappointing.
Clearly what he meant is beating each other up when one side is massively superior, it's like a grown man beating a teenager.
Was pretty funny listening to all that nonsense leading up to this fight. Chris van Heerden and Paulie Malignaggi weren't that impressed with McGregor's power. I think that says enough.
