Name dropping

Floyd is doing exactly what Mcgregor and Rousey name dropping the opposite sports biggest name. Well played Floyd.

You don't pay attention to UFC ****? As a guy who's seen Conor's 3 year UFC run it definitely is.

Conor's whole act is being an Irish Mayweather with better **** talking + more comedy involved. Maybe I could see it described like a Mayweather/Fury hybrid act.

Yea i follow UFC it's that I'm pretty sure Floyd said that same line many times he's using Floyds own quotes verbatim and sh**

coward mcgregor! "i need more time to train" .. what happen to "a warrior stays ready to go anytime"???

"he's getting old now, he needs me more than i need him"

floyd fans gonna start sending coward mcgregor death threats now.

The amount of TV, radio and online coverage of this by ESPN has been huge only because its two outspoken athletes, both popular and proven money earners in their discipline, both polarizing, one black and one white. I get espn is about ratings and this stuff is ratings gold.

However, when "boxing" fans dedicate the same amount of energy to this you have to wonder WTF is going on.

Floyd needs you? Last I read Floyd was worth just over 1 billion dollars. I think he'll be fine.

in terms of an opponent that will make $100+ mil, yes. floyd does need someone like mcgregor. get over it, floyd is not a draw unless he's fighting another big name.

Wow!! Really?! You don't say! Could have fooled me. I was positive that he and Floyd were going to fight.

Never would have guessed it all to be fake promotion.

McGregor to Floyd $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$????????????????????????????

[_original_]

First Conor ducks a Diaz rematch and now a Floyd boxing match. This dude is gonna get beat again anyways and become irrelevant.

Bad analogy. Floyd is a fighter and so is Connor.

The bigger handicap would have been having Connor fight Floyd in a boxing match where he can only utilize one of his fighting styles that he's not even a master of. Floyd is a master boxer while Connor is an all around mma fighter. Would have been more interesting to see if Floyd's skills would be able to overcome Connor's skills or vice versa.

In a boxing match Connor had absolutely zero chance.

I'm just happy its not happening as it would have proved nothing.

Not really, could you imagine a football player trying to fight a hockey player on ice! You want to guess who wins that?

You're right, it proves nothing at all.

Wow so no McGregor mayweather fight? Wow I thought it would go through even though McGregor is under contract with the UFC.
