Yet heill scream hes 50-0 and beat Marcianos record etc. On paper yes but the fans know whatsup. 49 and 50th fights are ****in pathetic for someone calling himsrlf The Best Ever.
      Marciano fought guys with 4 wins-14 losses, 13 wins-15 losses, 11 wins-14 losses for his 33rd, 34th, 35th fights. I guess they shouldn't be counted either with them being complete and utter bums, more than likely worse than McGregor.

        I agree that it ultimately won't be bad for boxing or MMA.

        But cmon man you can't be surprised that people are knocking it. First its Floyd. Floyd would get knocked if he cured cancer tomorrow. Number 2 it is a freak show fight. This is Ali vs Inoki II more or less. Or Toney vs Couture II from a few years back. Three, I don't think anyone expects this to be competitive & we all, regardless of affiliation, dog uncompetitive fights all the time.

        I could probably list more issues with this fight that are reasons people are dogging it, but you get my point doe its not a fight that its outlandish to dog it.

              Name 1 boxer that would walk away from a fight like McGregor which will net him over 100 mil. You can't criticise a guy for taking an opportunity anyone would take.

                I doubt it will damage boxing unless Mayweather gets knocked out. The powers that be in boxing need to worry more about promoters working together and less bad decisions, not the Mayweather /McGregor circus act...

                  At least this will break records.

                  Record for the lowest punch accuracy of all time.

                      It will be terrible for boxing. Once we again we get to hear how "boring" boxing is and how it never lives up the the hype and how Floyd ran from the "real" fighter all night and how he never actually wanted to exchange with Conor and ripped everyone off again.

                      It's pure garbage..
