Comments Thread For: Roy Jones on Board: Mayweather-McGregor NOT Bad For Boxing

[marikudo]

This is a money grab as simple as that. It will be an easy work for mayweather. only mayweather fans will buy this circus.

[marikudo]

would love to see mayweather kicked in the head and choked into submission

Buy the PPV.

Get the fight in it's a win for both guys a massive pay day

[deathofaclown]

I don't think it's bad if people see it for what it is, just a money making racket. I don't blame them for doing it because it makes them huge money but that's all it's about. The fight in boxing terms is a joke.

this shlt isnt about boxing. its about $$$$$. no one cared about mcbeggor until he started yapping about may.

Right. That's why everyone wants to see it...its like the drunk guy that THINKS he's the tuff guy at the club trying to start with everyone until he gets laid-out.

I'm a Mayweather fan and will probably buy it because of the event and not because I'm a fan of Mayweather. I don't care if he wins or loses. I just want to see the event and I can afford to order it and would rather watch it live than to hear about it on the news or on this website. I can't afford to go to Vegas and pay for the tickets, but ordering this PPV event is not going to keep me from paying the mortgage or any other bills. I agree with Roy that it shouldn't hurt boxing. An event like this could probably bring in more money than the May v. Pac fight. I think Floyd may not be asking for enough money because he may make more in this fight than he did for the Pac fight. And McGregor should be able to get way more than $15mil for the fight. For me, this fight may have me, as well as others become fans of UFC or at least give it a shot. I don't watch it and I'm not interested in it, but this may draw me towards it. And the same may go for fans of UFC who don't watch boxing. This can also create more crossover fights. One's that are more competitive. After this fight, it would be great if someone like Khan, who says he is willing to do both, would sign a 2 fight contract with someone from the UFC where one fight would be under the boxing rules and the other under the UFC rules. But in order to get to that point, Mayweather v. McGregor has to happen and it has to be a success.

I agree, but what Dana White is talking is silly. He wants to pay them both flat fee's and take the rest for himself is ludicrous.

that is absurd, and White knows it
.
that is an absurd low-ball, intended to kill the fight

that is just as ridiculous as Eubank wanting to control the promotion with Hearn..... maybe even more so, so it will be amusing to see the tards flip-flop on that one

that would have to be a Mayweather promotion, with McGregor/UFC receiving a cut..... and White knows it

[aboutfkntime]

Really?? Shouldn't Dana just get like 3M to walk away??

they could EASILY pay him 20mil to look the other way

and they would need to imho

White knows how much McGregor is worth to him, he doesn't want his poster-boy losing any shine

[sicko]

Roy probably want himself vs Silva on the Undercard lol
