Comments Thread For: Mayweather Tells Smith That McGregor Fight Very, Very Close'

[Joe Beamish]

I can't believe this fight will happen -- mostly because MMA and boxing are TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT SPORTS. Conor is going to look pathetic getting toyed with by a little old man who looks like an aging midget. Maybe he will blow his top, use his full skill set and kill Floyd in the ring, causing a hellish bloody riot. Maybe the whole thing is a fraud.

It's just unbelievable. I can't think it's going to happen.

Hahaha, "the fight is being held up because of a third party holdup".

The UFC, and Conor's contract with them, is one hell of a third party!

Isn't is sad, that Mayweather v McGregor is more likely to go ahead, than Canelo-GGG? That shows what a ****ing poor state boxing is in.

Pretty much.

This is just unreal lol. If this fight does go through expect more circus acts like this to take place in the future. Don't buy this crap tune in by all means but stream it don't reward these two clowns for this foolishness.

Tell GGG to sign. Thats all that is stopping that fight, triple g's signature. Its very simple, if gennady wants that fight, all he has to do is sign the contract.

I respect GGG's decision not to sign a contract that is completely unprecedented in boxing, and designed to funnel all of the cream into Canelo's coffers.

You might as well come out and say "GGG needs to be looking out for Canelo's best interests", because that's what you're asking for.

But you won't say that, because it's ****ing ****** and you know it. Or at least, I hope you do.

Unless you've got a direct response to my point, save us both time and don't bother typing.

Your point initially was you were crying about the sad state that boxing is in, then you talked about respecting a boxer who fights nobodies, he's 35 with NO big fights, we now know how he ducked the ward fight, we know how boxing works when you face the #1 PPV boxer, like floyd did vs oscar, he took the small money and even had to wear the gloves Oscar picked for him, he beat oscar and became a boxing superstar....Pac fought oscar also and look what it did for him.....Canelo fought Mayweather and now he's the face of boxing.....GGG is not the a-side in this fight, one person has sold millions of PPV's and the other sold 97k...GGG is the ONLY one holding this fight up. He says he wants a big fight, apparently not. He says he wants to fight "Mexican style" but dont want to fight a Mexican...we now know he ducked Ward like the plague but before it was anyone 154-168...Your point was what the state of boxing was, then you defended someone who hasnt sold many ppvs, trying to charge a kings ransom for his biggest fight, like floyd said, they're levels to this. You just dont jump to the big time, he's gotta pay his dues, like every other boxer before him, or does this boxer have some kind of special "privilege" that exempts him from this rite of passage to superstardom in boxing?

Did you know Ali did this, that other fighters have done this .

Have you ever seen celebrity Basketball or racing, what about WWE how do you figure that all this BS to the purist does so well at the box office ?

Human nature of the masses is to spend huge money on total BS, the entire world turns because of the idiots buying all hype and nothing in the guts of it, but its entertaining to them and we all watch some form of entertainment so the numbers for something like this is mind boggling, I think it could surpass Manny-Floyd in PPV buys, if they go hard to market this with Floyd and Conner it would go of the charts.

I think the appeal to the common man that knows fck all about either sport they just want to see a fight, man this type of consumer sucks hype like a vacuum cleaner.

This fight is purely about entertainment for the man in the street forget about a boxing contest its a Broadway Musical and will sell like crazy.

If you take a step back to absorb what I've said, rather than going straight to copy and paste your garbled spiel for the millionth time, you'll note that I am especially critical of Canelo trying to force GGG into accepting a flat fee - which, again, is pretty much unprecedented.

If you want to refer to Floyd-Oscar, fine with me - both fighters received PPV percentage revenue.

If you want to refer to Floyd-Canelo, fine with me - both fighters received PPV percentage revenue.

So in future, before you decide to talk, learn how to STFU and absorb information first - because it's embarrassing when your own examples blow up in your face.

I hope you don't have hurt feelings, Kid. Nothing personal.
