Comments Thread For: Marquez: Mayweather-McGregor is an Insult To Boxing and UFC

[Eff Pandas]

Boxing is already a circus.

This is very sad for boxing. Boxings main fool is at it again making the sport we love a circus again.

Where was the out cry when Couture fought Toney? Or Mercer vs Silva? Is it different because they fought an MMA match instead of a boxing match?

Big fan of JMM inside the ring. Not so much outside. He is very critical of others and, if he truly cares about "respect", needs to mind his own fu.cking business.

Speaking of his business, when is he going to retire? It's not "respectful" to drag your fans along and then reject the biggest money fight (Pac 5) because he feels he cannot do any better. This JMM - great fighter - annoying outside the ring.

Mayweather jr. running and hugging style is an insult to boxing.

Must be a UFC fan.

To be fair, the UFC people started this when they claimed Ronda Rousey could beat Mayweather in a MMA match. Soon after, McGregor started taking shots at Mayweather. He called their bluff and said he would gladly fight McGregor but it would be a boxing match. I don't think this is as bad as Marquez says it is but I don't think we need to hear about this potential match every single day. Mayweather is partly responsible because he brings it up in every interview. I think there would be a lot of public interest if they fought but at the end of the day it be nothing more than a publicity stunt.

bruh, a lot of other fighters have come out and say they can beat floyd, yet floyd aint taking the same approach he is with them like he's doing with conor.

and i believe floyd spoke on conor first. something about how he's only getting all that attention because of his skin color.

I'm a massive Mayweather fan. But being a boxing and mma fan, this proposed contest pisses me off. It's not competitive and a circus event. Mcgreggor will definately at some point kick or takedown Floyd during the fight and if he does I'll laugh all day. Mayweather could fight a legit boxer like Thurman, Pacquiao or have a crack at GGG (brook did). Also Floyd is desperate for this payday, Mcgreggor is a nobody in the fight game outside UFC so he should shut his mouth and make his millions with them.

Just talk is all it is. Blah blah

UFC is an insult to actual martial arts and combat sports alike

Um, no.

If it wasn't for the UFC, people would still think playing tag in pajamas teaches you how to fight.
