Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather (August 26th) - Page 80 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

It is sad that he would mar his 49 wins against actual professional boxers with a final clown shoe win over a novice boxer in a fight that should never have been sanctioned. Very true.

Sounds like you're pretty worried about Floyd's impending doom. I run a support group if you need help

They probably should, both are way too flat footed on the feet, go watch Nick diaz vs Carlos Condit, Nick couldn't even touch him.

uh, not sure why you would think that. The fight shouldn't have been sanctioned because Connor might get beaten to death before the ref can stop the fight.

Not sure if anyone saw Floyd on Kimmel last night but pretty good interview for a late night show.

Kimmel asked him if he would ever fight Conor in the octagon and Floyd said let's get past August 26th first. It got me thinking, why not?

Imagine if Floyd did that after this? He would make 500 million for that and the loss wouldn't even hurt his legacy.

I don't think it happens but that would sell like crazy on PPV. More than this fight even.

In no universe does he step into the octagon. You've got a better shot at seeing Elvis. Gotta hand it to both these guys, they're doing a great job selling this farce.

Why not though? For 4-500 million? Floyd finally gives people what they wanted all along, to see him defeated. But it happens in a way that is completely non-threatening to him.

He gets in there, loses in 2 minutes. No one really cares and everyone just says "Oh these 2 had a hell of a cash grab."

It's obviously a huge dog but I don't think it is drawing dead.

how to make 1 billion dollars:

step 1) lucky punch from CM knocks him out

step 2) floyd gets in octogon, wins some furiously controversial fight where he was 20 to 1 dog. Or even have CM win with some dirty move.

step 3) One of them wins in rematch 3 that's like some made up sports like diggstown where they do alternating rounds between box/mma or something

Both men clear 1B, love life

I mean if Jay Z and Beyonce can rig a whole cheating story to make 2 albums go super nova right as Jay Z's streaming company goes live and make them billions, anyone can do their version.

Floyd is many things, stupid is not one of them. I don't think he would ever seriously risk his health. Hell, just look at how he cherry picks when he chooses to fight in the boxing ring, where he is a master. The man is no fool, and I just don't see him ever stepping into the octagon for any amount of money.

I really don't understand why you people think people would care about a rematch, so much more interesting fights for Conor in the ufc or hell even boxing.

The fight will officially be in 8oz gloves as NSAC approved the request, Conor will now win in 2rounds instead, GG, can't wait for the boxing world to get shocked.

Watching the PPV commercial for the fight did nothing to excite me. Losing interest as we draw closer to this thing.

lol how in the world do 8 oz gloves help Connor anyway? Floyd has fought with 8 oz gloves many many times, they're the standard size for 147.

I have the biggest bet I've ever done on Mayweather at -625 from right around when markets opened. The website I used (I'm Australian) now has -400. I'm officially shook.
