This fight will lower the PPV potential revenue of GGG vs Canelo. A lof of fans won't spend a lot money for 2 fights less than a month apart. Floyd was very smart to make his fight at and earlier date.

I still don't believe this fight is happening. It seems like a crazy fantasy match-up, like Bruce Lee vs Tyson.

I wish McGregor would defend his belt and Floyd should enjoy retirement and focus on promoting.

Yeah, everyone seems to think this is a huge money event, not sure how anyone can be so sure though. It's unprecedented. No one has any idea how much money this will actually produce..

the woman beater couldnt keep his nose out of boxing, has to get his name back in the limelight. fact is noone wanted you back floyd, you were quickly forgotten about and you havent been missed. thats what happens when you werent involved in memorable fights. people will still be talking about hearns v hagler, castillo v corrales 100 years down the line. noone will be talking about youre borefests. and youre capping your career off with a joke fight, have limped your way to 50-0. pathetic.

Really disgusting this guys' ego. He's going to put up this garbage when HE PROMOTES BOXERS. He is an absolute moron and I can't stand the sight of him anymore..

Floyd is a joke

Man I wouldn't trust that Bennett guy at all if I knew him personally. He can say Andre Ward (a guy moving up to 175) can't fight Alexander Brand (a abc ranked fighter), but somehow Floyd (a multi-weight world champion, future HOFer & generally considered the best boxer of this era) vs Conor (a 0-0 guy in pro boxing & is only rumored to have had any amateur fights) is cool with a straight face both times lol.

Nothing to do with money I'm sure doe.

unless they stack the undercard it wont do aswell as people think. think people will be reluctant to actually spend money on it, most will just stream it or whatever out of intrigue.

You're kidding yourselves if you don't think your favorite boxer would take this fight too

It is what it is

[ox805er]

did you have any issues when MMA fighters were beating up boxers going to MMA?

Not at all.. for 2 reasons, first it was washed up boxers who didn't crack it in boxing anymore and were probably getting paid peanuts. Second, it didn't cause the sport of MMA any harm, it probably actually helped them.

That whole Andre Ward-Rohan Murdock situation is still mysterious to me. Mayweather-McGregor is a freak show, but how many PBC fights in recent years have had hideous mismatches? I realize some of these may have happened outside of Nevada, but three that come to mind are Garcia-Salka, Quillin-Zerafa, and Santa Cruz-Roman. But they have a problem with Ward fighting a top-20 ranked guy that held the IBO title? There's something fishy about that. Maybe Bennett was trying to settle a score for the late Dan Goossen? IDK, I'm just hypothesizing.

But you think Mayweather knocking McGregor silly is gonna hurt boxing? Let me guess, you're Mexican.
