    In Norway almost nobody has heard of Mayweather, and the few who has, know him as "the guy who fought that asian dude"..

    Almost everyone I know knows who McGregor is.

    The national newspapers over here cover everything McGregor does and barely anything Mayweather does.

    I don't have a horse in this race just stating the facts

      Perfect undercard would be:
      Nate Diaz vs Antonio Margarito
      &
      Roy Jones vs Nick Diaz

      The UFC should just take what Floyds offering. Floyds rich already. Mcgregor would have a great career if he only made a quarter of what Floyds worth & hed definitely be the richest mmartist ever.

          I would only support that undercard if we get to see Mickey Gall vs. Chris Algieri, and Roy Jones faced Jon Bones Jones.

          Only then.

            Why are you acting like I said it was a criticism? You guys and your little forum wars... FFS..
            I like the way they make cards. I don't like boxing ppvs being so expensive for 1 or 2 guys, whether they be Floyd or anyone else.

            Doesn't change the facts I stated though. Floyd was able to do amazing numbers by himself. The fans were the ones who made that happen. Might be an inconvenient, or even unpleasant (for some) fact but it's a fact none the less.

              More than likely has a lot more followers on Facebook aswell.

              When has McGregor gone to a country like South Africa or Russia etc and got the turn out Mayweather did when he visited those countries?
              Dude has such an issue with Floyd, it's clouded his judgement.

                  He's just a fan of McGregor. I get it, that's how flavours of the month work. He's big at the moment.

                  Question is for how long? It's only a matter of time before he falls into obscurity. We just watched this same movie with Ronda Rousey.

                  Floyd's was a big star for a long time man, he was the world's highest earning sports star for quite a few years right? Top 5 for a long time. What's McGregor? #40 or something?

                    The key to your post is " Almost everyone I know "
                    which is less than a grain of sand within world opinion !

                      That's because Norwegians are racist, close-minded eurosceptics who still think they're Vikings
