Floyd is 40 and still showed a great showing even with his slowing reflexs.
The greatest fighters li Ray Leonard and Ali were long ago shells of themselves at much earlier in their lives like in their mid 30s.
Floyd carried dude likely could have done be more. But yeah no shyt younger fighters would have got him out quicker.
Conor looked like how the klitschko's looked fighting most of their opponents. I was actually shocked how much bigger McGregor was over Floyd. Didn't matter though.
It was a real dumb move. He made 1 million off of his last fight. That 40 million 4 year contract would almost be up now and he got have chased the pay days he felt he deserved. Broner may have made 5-7 million in earnings sense then, if that.
This. People can clown McGregor all they want but he was a mma fighter that was welfare in Ireland just 4 years ago and has manage to position himself as the current biggest draw in combat sports and landed himself in the biggest boxing fight of all time without ever having boxed. You couldn't even write a movie script that ridiculous. His self belief is probably better than anything I've seen in sports. I get a kick out of people trying to clown on him. He's figured out how to hack the system and level jump in life.
This fool wasn't on welfare.
Did you see his parents, they seemed pretty well off to me. And I'm not talking about "oh conor takes care of them now" no you can tell when I person has been raised a certainly way based of their vocabulary, cadence and presentation. Conor grew up middle class.
Paulie just trying to get some of that Connor money.
Now McG is in boxing he has them lining up to fight him for their biggest paydays.
It would be a great payday for both. Better than what Conor would get in the UFC fighting whoever they line up for him.
