So realistically -- what's McGregor's game plan?

His strategy is to be in that ring when the first bell rings and his strategy 'pays' off. Very simple and anybody who buys it is a dumb ass sucker.

I agree with some of the others. Go dirty dirty dirty as possible and come In as big as possible (he's the bigger man right) No way try box. He needs to mma as much as he legally can lol

And how bad is this dude going to potentially look? He barely registers at an amateur boxing level, and if you go by some of the dude's shadow boxing clips that have surfaced -- jeezus, man. It's possible that he's not even at an amateur level for f**k's sake. Going up against the best boxer of this generation, and very arguably, the most prolific defensive boxer in the entire history of the sport. Only thing that McGregor has advantage wise is age. How old is Floyd now? 41? So what's this guy's game plan? Just disregard defense entirely and attempt to walk Floyd down and just throw as many hail mary bombs as he can and hope he hits the lottery? I mean obviously if he tried to box him, lmao, it might very well be the most embarrassing display of "boxing" that we've ever seen at this level of the sport. If you're in McGregor's corner how are you approaching this? He gon come for the KO

Plan is to make a ton of money and give Dana the middle finger. Also, over/under the # of times he 'accidentally' kicks Floyd?

Pull an Andre Dirrell/Montell Griffin & try to get hit after bell or when he is knocked down. Then pretend to be knocked out to get the W.

McGregor's game plan.. 1) He should forget it is a boxing match & land a knee to the head once in a while.. 2) He should lie on the floor & invite Floyd to come at him (no h0mo) so that he can put on a shoulder lock.. It would stop Floyd from doing that shoulder roll he copied from Berto.. 3) He should get his corner men also into the ring on 4 vs 1 assault WWE style.. 4) Last but not least.. He should get his old plumbing tools(wrench, plunger & sh1t) & beat Floyd up..

LOL. Ref will ensure that Conor McGregor stays within range as long as it lasts.

lol Conor's not going to come in throwing wild Hail Marys like some are suggesting. Conor is a shrewd and calculated operator. Apart from the first Diaz fight, Conor has shown to be patient and is primarily a counter sniper. He will target Floyd's body and will look to maximise his reach advantage with that straight as an arrow left hand to Floyd's head. He will use his superior strength and MMA clinch experience to bully Floyd physically, he will push him around and look to unsettle Floyd on his feet.

Feint, draw Floyd in for a counter and then counter the counter with a straight left and watch Floyd go to sleep most likely.

Gameplan: Collect a big ass check & leave Combat sports.

That's hilarious lol Honestly to this day it's stuck with me. I've seen crazy things at fights and gyms but this one really stands out. By the fourth fight he was totally knackered, as you might expect and alas couldn't pull his moves no more. I was with a to become WC and he had no idea what he'd do.

If you're in McGregor's corner how are you approaching this? If he legit wants to win, as in making it about a 1 in 1000 chance versus his 1 in 10,000 chance of winning, I would focus on foot work. Like Gambler said in the first post, Conor will have to make it ugly because the only advantages he has on Floyd are his strength and size. So if I was running his camp, I would focus on trying to corner Floyd, tie up, and pray to land something big eventually.

I once saw a guy at a national amateur event win three fights by fighting in a way that could best be described as a kangaroo meets gazelle. Employing tactics such as double fisted jabs. Jumping and punching down. It confused the **** out of everyone including the refs. Now obviously Mayweather as serious ring IQ but if Connor does something bat **** crazy might take a few rounds and maybe if he has enough bat **** crazy ideas who knows. That's hilarious lol

He literally has no chance besides landing a Hail Mary punch. And he'll have to do so within 2-3 rounds to have any chance. He won't last 12 unless Mayweather wants him to. His only actual chance is if they're going to WWE this sh*t and have Mayweather take a dive. Which I suppose is very possible.

To "win" all McGregor has to do is not get KOd. The. He can just claim Floyd ran away from him the whole fight and refused to engage, and all his partisans will agree..

He's gonna need an oxygen mask by the fourth round. In his own word "He'll do nothing!"

How do you out-think the greatest mind in the sport of boxing? You don't. In fact, McGregor's best chance may be to stop thinking. You see, Mayweather expects his opponents to have plans. But what if McGregor himself doesn't know what the hell he's going to do? What if the bell rings and he goes completely apeshit? That's what he must do. Floyd only knows how to fight humans. You've got to be a lion, or a wildebeest. Now, now, no need to talk about headshots mom like that

His gameplan is go in, get made to look like the amateur he is and pick up a huge amount of money and just fall back on the excuse that he isn't a boxer. Simple as that really. In the extremely unlikely one in a billion chance he lands some shot that KO's Floyd, then that's just a bonus, but the objective is the payday.
