would fighting mcgregor be the biggest cherry pick of all time?

I lost respect for Floyd when berto was announced instead of a even 10x higher payday rematch of PAC.

How was he supposed to fight Manny that September?

[GhostofDempsey]

Yes it is. Because it gives him a 50th win and an 8 or 9-digit paycheck, against an opponent whose record is 0-0 in professional boxing matches. Show me a bigger mismatch in all of boxing.

Fights like this shouldnt even be allowed on their records. Boxing is such a joke its not even funny. Barely any rules and top guys can fight cab drivers if they wanted to, its embarassing. Conor doesnt even know how to fight with boxing gloves on and he gets to come in and make a huge payday against Floyd? Meanwhile, other guys busted their asses for years for that big payday and they dont get rewarded for it. Ridiculous.

Other than some BS that "the fans want it", there is no other reason why this fight is happening. All of a sudden the fans matter? Maybe the clueless MMA fans who know nothing about fighting but the real boxing fans know better. Hopefully even they can see what a terrible joke this is

Seriously Jeff frigging Horn would beat McGregor's ass in a boxing match

For that matter Rod Salka would too

As far as boxing goes McGregor would probably grade out as a low level amateur at his absolute best

The guy doesn't even belong in a boxing ring against the most mediocre boxers in the sport, let alone the best of the generation

That said, I don't blame Floyd at all. Boxing, like anything else is a business. Anything that makes dollars makes sense and regardless of how big of a farce and circus side show this **** is, it's going to generate A LOT of f**king money

Like so many of the motherf**kers who spend all day on here hating fighters and acting like they know what's best for them as they sit there behind their computer screen, I ain't about to hate on Floyd for this...Floyd gonna clean up (once again) when it comes to the $$$ on this

People can trash it all they want but Floyd will be the one laughing all the way to the bank, just like Manny will after he fills up that 55K seat stadium in Brisbane

Meh I'm not trying to take it too seriously. I consider it an exhibition match like Rocky v ThunderLips. Pride (Japanese MMA outfit) used to do freak show fights all the time. I don't think it will do much for the UFC or boxing but the new UFC owners seem to really want this farcical carnival to go down so it's on I guess..

man..Roy Jones literally fought a damn fan

[Robbie Barrett]

I wouldn't say making the biggest paying fight is a cherry pick. A cherry pick is when you fight a lesser fighter over someone else just because he's the easier option. No fighter (apart from Pacquiao because he was afraid of needles) would walk away from a fight that will sell over 2 mil PPV.

theres not a single reason for a person to watch pac vs horn. there is a curiosity aspect for may vs mcbeggar.

i wont be watching either

I won't watch either as well, both horrible fights and likely **** undercards.

You called Floyd out to fight, why are you not calling Roy out?
