Poll: Floyd fighting Conor McGregor for 50 legitimate?
Collapse
-
The fight may not mean much in the grand scheme of things,
But the fact is, this is the 2 biggest PPv combat sport stars in the world
$$$$$$ talks....
It will be a boxing match, and would probably do so where between 2.4-4 million buys
Floyd would get 100 million plus,,, Conor would get 40-75 million for being a sacrificial lamb.. That's more money than all the other ufc fighters make in a year
Conor should take the boxing fight and the cash, get embarrassed and retire filthy rich ala buster douglas

He chose a circus show rather than a real 50 fight, since the only financially capable to pay him that much money Pacquiao of Conor. He chose Conor, because he knows a 2nd time with Pacquiao will be the end of him. He rather choose the path of less resistance

There was talk of RJJ fighting Anderson Silva at one time (Silva does have 5 or 6 pro fights iirc, but to fight a HOFer is still a mismatch). And I also believe Jeff Lacy was going to fight Nick Diaz at one point. This has all been discussed before & never have I seen it mentioned that the fight shouldn't count towards the boxers pro record.
Can you criticize Floyd's record if he were to fight Conor? Absolutely. People criticize his record now lol. Why would anything change?
Personally I feel if this fight were to get made to reach max potential it'd need to be some hybrid type match. I'd speculate for example it'd be boxing rules with MMA gloves or something like that perhaps. I doubt that'd be agreed to with Mayweather's hand issues, but just throwing that out for example. And in that case this wouldn't even be an actual pro boxing match & like BKB fights wouldn't play into Floyd being 50-0.
If you want to see a real fight that is fair between the 2. If this truly is a hybrid fight. It has 2 be a mix of boxing and MMA rules. That legitimizes the fight. Not for 50 but for bragging rights.
As you have mentioned, gloves. It should be MMA gloves since it at least show a trade off in boxing rules, since they are only going for striking game. In a cage, not in a ring. You can pin someone on the cage.
No ground game. No kicking, basically striking with MMA gloves. That to me will be enough to balance this rodeo.

That's like a moral victory. Also the expectation that McGregor will suck bad is so high, that if he is remotely close to competitive even in spots, that would also make Floyd and boxing look bad. Floyd would absolutely have to KO this guy, no ifs ands or buts, and he will not do that. If Floyd decides to dance around the ring versus an MMA fighter like he does to legit boxers, that would also look terrible
The only thing that would look good out of this is Floyd's bank account
But did you realize there is another fighter who can give him that kind of money. A rematch with Pacquiao. That is a legitimate win if he does and the amount off money it commands, but we all know he rather not. He rather fight someone easy. I wonder why...Last edited by Spoon23; 05-17-2016, 08:34 PM.

Floyd could fight Humpty Dumpty the last of the Cuban Eskimos and so long as he keeps winning he just rakes in squillions of dollars .
His legacy is engraved in stone already all he got to do is keep winning and rub it in their faces , no matter how many lame excuses the losers will come up with the record book says they couldnt beat him ,,,,,
He fcked you all the way because not only is the guy an ATG for real he is also super smart in marketing and capitalizing himself , the guy is a genius in being successful its not easy to do in any arena , and the bottom line is while you are spending your life hating on him he takes that hate and converts it to money , what is really at play here at the lowest denominator is he was born a winner you were born a loser both are great at it .
