MMA guys kill themselves to make weight. lots of them come from wrestling traditions, and unless you're a "main event" or a championship level fighter you only go 15 minutes max with a minute of rest twice. connor's probably brutally overtrained by boxing standards. just making 154 lbs is probably killing him, never mind all of the sparring he's gone through, the media obligations, etc.
or maybe that paulie power has him soft in the head now :lol1:
no. conor has nothing to lose. he threw his excuses out early on in the press already and his fans ate it all. he mention plenty of times about how he doesnt care about the fact that boxing have all these rules, they're trying to restrict him from doing all these things. this is the excuse he put out there and his fans bought it already. so if conor lose, expect to see a lot of, "he was not a pro boxer", "he was fighting against one of the best in boxing".
Fair play....
Look, Conor has already won.
No, I am not talking about the fight cuz Mayweather is going to lay a beating on him the likes we haven't seen since the Gatti fight.
I am talking about winning at life.
Conor is going to walk away with 100 million dollars.
By fighting in a sport he has zero experience in.
It's like someone seeing a guy sink 30 freethrows at the basketball kiosk at Dave & Busters and offering the guy 10 million to play game 7 of the NBA finals.
All because every idiot who saw him sink those kewpie doll throws swore they'd watch.
It's a major life coup and I aint hatin' on him for pulling it off.
Floyd fans IN PANIC trying to make up for Floyd looking nervous and scared in that press conference. The fear is real right now. I am loving it. 2 days and all of you will disappear.
if he was on welfare, that was his fault for not getting a regular 9-5 job like everyone else.
In the UK and Ireland, 'welfare' isn't anything as stigmatised as it is in the US. People get on and off benefits quickly and regularly when they're out of work or down-and-out or whatever. In the UK, back before Cameron, tens of thousands basically lived off the stuff for relatively little reason. You can't view it in (what I think of as) a US way as something awful and desperate.
so if conor lose, expect to see a lot of, "he was not a pro boxer", "he was fighting against one of the best in boxing".
Every person in world knows that, not only his fans.
I like Dana White and Conor. I hope he loses with dignity, say a decision in a competitive fight. The more I read about him and his upbringing from welfare recipient to UFC fight the more I respect him.
Because this is a bigger stage for him like never before, at some point you would realise how big something is and i can have an effect on you briefly.
Because he understands the magnitude of this event, Conor Mcgregor has a massive ego! And a defeat will dent his ego, forget all the money to be made? These men of raw competitors at heart, they are not business men even though they like to portray this image.
