    It's interesting seeing this all play out between different fan bases. Boxing fans hate this and think it's a disgrace. They'll rip on Dana White and praise Floyd for being his own Boss. MMA fans seem to hate this too because they think McGregor needs to be defending his UFC belt or be stripped. They don't seem to care that much about a Mayweather boxing match. But then I go to work and talk to casual fans who aren't hardcore in to boxing or MMA and they're all over this. They all want to see the fight happen and think it's great.

    Fascinating
    LOL, but you nailed it. And the ones that matter in the PPV world is those casual guys & that's why this is at the point its at regardless if it ever happens or not.

    Definitely fascinating & I'm honestly insanely curious if in 10 years we'll be talking about "that Mayweather vs MMA guy fight back in the day" or if this will just be some weird footnote that half of us will forget about cuz it didn't happen.

      I think Conor found out first hand he can't box like he thought he could and doesn't want to do it anymore.

        Doesn't seem like they're serious about making this fight if they "forgot" to reserve the date. Billion dollar industries don't "forget" anything.

          Dana White is a minority owner, and is no longer best buds with the majority ownership group - they sold up. He's a sometimes mouthpiece and a PR figure - the board of directors decides yes or no, and drives the direction of the company.

          The fact that people think Dana is legitimately in the drivers seat, is a testament to how well the UFC has done in molding and shaping the Dana character.

            why do you think ufc will take a hit if conor loses? is floyd fighting mcgregor under ufc rules?

                Yeah I am thinking the same thing. 10 years from now McGregor could even go on to do greater things in mma and we all wonder why he ever wasted his time trying to box even though that's not where his tallents lie. He could also go on to do nothing in mma and we all go "remember how hyped up that conor guy was?" So many ways this could go. Almost zero chance he actually beats Floyd though. To be fair though Floyd would never win an mma match against mcgregor either. They're just different sports. It's like comparing football and rugby. Yeah there's similarities but it's not the same thing
