    No it wouldn't. It's almost unbelievable to see people like you who are ****** enough to believe that.

      This is basically that Rousey **** 2.0.
      No. Not even close. McGregor knocked out the long reigning champ of his division in 13 seconds on his first shot at a title after predicting just that. He's pretty much proven to be a bad a55 at that point. No dis*****g that.

        Every single UFC fan would buy/tune in to this this whereas many would not pay to watch Floyd fight otherwise.

        Give it a good 6-month promotional tour and this fight would be huge!

          Rousey tried the same stunt and look what happened to her against a competent boxer.
          Most UFC fights aren't Boxing or Kickboxing based fighters. So their striking is far from the prettiest. Ronda is a Judo based MMA fighter. Grappling. She started MMA and got in love with boxing. Tried to out box holly instead of using her grappling and got destroyed. That'll happen to almost anyone who abandons their strength and fights their opponents fight. Conor is a boxing and karate fighter. So he can box better than most UFC fighters but his grappling is suspect. He won't beat Floyd though. Lol He will just do it for the money. And just so u know, Dana has no control over McGregor. I see that relationship being strained real soon cuz Conor is bringing in good money and he wants most of it.

            I'd rather see McGregor vs Broner. The build up would be more fun.

              How doesn't Dana have control over McGregor?

              Money talks, but at the end of the day if McGregor is contracted by the UFC, a boxing match only happens with Dana's Yes or No.

                  How big is your house? How about your vehicles? Thing is Conor doesnt get the kind of money from his fights to have those things, so he must be getting paid and supplied at the same time. Stand up Sir!

                    Interesting opinion, were you there when Floyd was? Are you aware of how it was promoted and ran? Has there ever been an attempt for an event at any time? How many ppv buys did Floyd get in Russia?

                      It definitely would. Larger than May/Pac? probably not, but McGregor is a huge draw, Mayweather is a huge draw, and the idea of the top guy from two separate combat sports going head to head would create a huge spectacle that would suck in a lot of people.
