The biggest star in boxing is now an MMA fighter. Thanks Floyd! lol

No the biggest star in combat sports is undoubtedly floyd mayweather

Heis my favorite boxer of all time. The excitement he brought to this sport, I had never experienced before. His charisma, personality, attitude, fight style. Just one of a kind. The best thing that happened to boxing. He resurrected the sport.

Well actually he was currently the biggest PPV Star In Combat Sports before the Mayweather fight. He does way better number than anybody in Boxing those are just FACTS! :dunno: McGregor will draw no matter what he does next, either box Paulie next or go back to the UFC and fight Nate Diaz again!

They did a great job marketing that fight but every time they mentioned McGregor it was always in conjunction with Mayweather. Unless he fights another big boxing star, I don't see anyone paying attention to him as boxer. However, the next he fight in the UFC, mark my word, they will milk the Mayweather fight.

He isn't a big boxing star now. He won a few rounds with a weird style and pitty pat punches but the famous power he bragged of never showed up. Mayweather was never bothered by any punch he landed. Once the very sluggish, sloppy sup par Mayweather got warmed up he walked right through him. Conor ended up exhausted, defenseless and running away unable to fight back. He found out he isn't the new king of boxing and even old retired pro boxing champions are more than he can handle. Boxing fans can see he is not and never will be a threat to any top boxer under boxing rules. The fight made so much money partly because Conor had that mystery factor about how good he might be as a boxer since he dropped those chinny MMA guys like flies. Conor did a good job of selling himself. That's gone now. He has been exposed as a mediocre boxer and few will pay to see him fight again under boxing rules. I doubt we will ever see Conor in a boxing ring again. He will return to the UFC because he prefers winning to losing.

What makes you say that? When is the last time Diaz fought? Seems like they're keeping him inactive. Yeah they kinda are but at the sametime Diaz is keeping himself inactive too. Either way though, 1 thing these MMA guys dont like to admit is boxing is a fundamental to their game as wrestling is (wrestling moreso of course) and Mcgregor just went through a training camp to box one of the best boxers ever. I also think Byrd saved Mcgregor too, had Floyd put another 1minutes worth of beating on him, it may have made him punchy, but I truly feel the boxing camp + the early stoppage will help McG in MMA more than anything. Diaz spars with Andre Ward but I really think its moreso for Ward to work distance and range in a training camp with a tall lanky guy.

. I can foresee him actually stopping Diaz the next time they fight, with a KO win over Diaz. What makes you say that? When is the last time Diaz fought? Seems like they're keeping him inactive.

Hes not the biggest but McGregor has nothing to lose. He has the Pacquiao gift now. Meaning that he can lose in any fashion and the fans won't care. They will just use excuses like he's not a boxer or that he'd win in a streetfight. So why wouldn't he do it again when he can make loads of $ just for getting beat up?

You just KNOW they will set McG up against someone that he can batter soon and try and develop him as a boxing star off the back of "he went to the later rounds with one of the best of all time". Who will McGregor sign up to fight next? Paulie? I think McGregor goes back to MMA but I will say this, McG will be A LOT better now because of all the boxing he has been doing. I can foresee him actually stopping Diaz the next time they fight, with a KO win over Diaz I can see McG coming back to boxing against Malanaggi. The hype will be real again.

Is anyone even still talking about Conor? Yea but not in a good way lol

Is anyone even still talking about Conor? I've never seen social media hype go from so high, to so low, quicker than this. The fight already feels like it was 6 months ago.

With those numbers they would be mad not to have McGregor fight another boxer, Broner or something. The normal everyday person bought into the hype of that fight hook line and sinker.
