I mean come on May will runs circles around this guy and to me this is an easy money making win win fight for May but since its another fight going toward the his record will it be accepted by the true boxing fans as the big 50th win????
First of all, of course it will. He'll parade as 50-0 and everyone will forget who made it 50.
Second of all. it doesn't really matter. He's not doing it for the boxing record, he's doing it for the spectacle of what would definitely be a once-in-a-lifetime promotion. Outside of the money he makes.
Whether some internet dudes think it should be counted as number 50 I doubt even enters his mind.
Should 49 count?
The fans who accept this rip off as being a real competition are nuts! This mma guy has NO Fights in boxing!!!!!
This is strictly promo crap and these guys will make money off suckers because their every where, especially here! :lame:

If MacGregor gets licenced in Nevada, it will count unless they call it exhibition,
which they probably won't. To real fans tho? Not a chance it is #50.
No, just no. This would be a fixed fight for an easy pay day for both. I'd rather watch Soulja Boy vs Chris Brown, that would be more entertaining than this bullshlt.
Numbers are merely important, why w'd he need to be 50-0 rather than 49-0? just because 50 looks cool because it's 5 time 10?
What makes sense is who you fight and your performance. Beating McGregor will mean nothing in the history books but it's the best bussiness move he can make: least risks, highest amount of money.
Some will accept it and some won't. I won't accept it because Conor isn't a pro boxer. Every one of Marciano's fights was with a pro boxer. About the only way Floyd could lose would be to trip on the way to the ring and injure himself or something like that. There is zero chance Conor could outfight Mayweather and beat him wearing boxing gloves. I would be more likely to count it as a real win if it happened at the start of Mayweather's pro career. Mayweather beating a non boxer as a veteran champion shouldn't count as a record breaking win any more than his wrestling match with Big Show. I always thought the 50 and 0 and then retire record wasn't that important anyway. Chavez went something like 80 and 0 and would have smashed the hell out of that record if he had retired then. The only reason he didn't break it was because he kept fighting past his prime.
Floyd himself has already stated that it's entertainment so I don't know why anyone else would consider it a legitimate boxing match. I don't and I definitely won't pay to see it.
what kind of retarded question is that? ofcourse it will, an official fight goes on your official record, simple as that.
it doesnt change anything of significance, its just a number. if he had another journeyman or bum on his ledger before ever fighting for his first title he would be at 50 right now and it wouldnt make him any better or worse.
edit: this is all in theory provided they come to terms (which i doubt) and sanctioned (which i doubt even more). at the end of the day the fight aint happening. but if somehow that ****show went down it would naturally go on his record.
but he can't beat conor. 49-1. selling his undefeated record for money
That's funny...if he did somehow lose, all the same people saying it was for #50 would suddenly be saying it doesn't count.
It would look like jones opponent a couple fights ago saying 'debut' on boxrec:lol1::lol1: these type of things should be sanctioned as exhibition only.
