Adam Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 THE FIGHT IS ON. pic.twitter.com/KhW0u3jRft — Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) June 14, 2017 IT'S OFFICIAL!!! https://t.co/ND07Ixugs2 pic.twitter.com/JpqFW5WbcB — Floyd Mayweather (@FloydMayweather) June 14, 2017 I figured, why not give this its own thread? It isn't UFC, it isn't really Boxing...yet it's both! So to save confusion, let's post about it separately from the usual threads covering those sports. Especially because this fight will draw in viewers who probably rarely if ever watch either sport. Fight of the century on hype and intrigue alone, this August. Also...just picture all the dollars flying about this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFF Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 RIP McGregor* *Unless Mayweather's age has finally caught up to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Lineker Posted June 14, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 I think this is pretty silly tbh. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Buscher Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 I'd say McGregor's going to be embarrassed, but it's hard to be embarrassed after guaranteeing the biggest pay day of your life to be in what will be an extended sparring match for Mayweather. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDK Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 If this is a straight up boxing match then McGregor is going to get destroyed. Mayweather has fought boxers who have trained their whole lives to box and he was undefeated, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted June 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Gonna say, McGregor has nothing to lose. If (when) Mayweather beats him, he can just go "well I gave it a shot. I'm not a boxer and he's the greatest ever" and pocket $100mil. If he wins, its unbelievable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paton Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 6 rounds. Mayweather wins by TKO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meacon Keaton Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Is this boxing? If it's boxing, Mayweather destroys him. But I can't get an answer on whether it's boxing or a fight where Connor can tackle to the ground and lock in a submission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your Mom Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 This is ridiculous. I don't really like Boxing. I barely watch any UFC anymore. Yes I am going to order it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apsham Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 TMZ Sportz (ugh) have an article up claiming they spoke to Dana white and it's going to be: Quote a 12 round boxing match. Both guys will use 10 ounce gloves. They will fight at 154 pounds. He wouldn't give anything specific but assumed that McGregor would be making in the realm of 100 million for the fight.

Meacon Keaton Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Also who is the old guy in Connor's tweet? Looks like Mayweather's grandfather or something. I hope he didn't think he was going to box that guy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forky Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Yeah I think it's always been pushed as a boxing match. That's why Conor went and got his boxing license. I don't know about commissions and all that but I think it's kind of crazy that this even got sanctioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apsham Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 McGregor has made it more than clear that he's only out for a pay day, regardless of what he says in between. This is pretty much the closest thing to a no lose situation for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUKIE Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 I'm just waiting for McGregor to buy a perpetual motion machine and an island to complete his transformation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraKaiEnTai Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 So is Mayweather gonna hug him the whole fight like he did with Pacquiao? I just want someone to beat Mayweather, I don't care who it is. Ok, well I'd be happy with Mayweather winning if he was fighting Donald Trump, but that's about it.

Pooker Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 It would be awesome if half way through it, McGregor just says screw it and takes him down and locks in a submission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colly Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 First round boxing, second round MMA, third round equestrian. Repeat until there's a winner. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
