this will sell more than ggg/canelo and ward/kovalev combined.. that shows you that so called "real" boxing fans dont buy sht. its all about the casuals and floyd is a master at taking their money. if conor lands one punch on floyd il consider that a black eye for boxing.

Completely agree! Floyd is a master of business and I highly doubt that Conor lands anything of significance, I mean top boxers can't land on Floyd, yet Conor is supposed to?

outsmarted oscar yet again. Somebody will be in rehab by months end.

oscar went from saying he wanted to promote conor and wanted to make canelo vs conor to writing open lettr lmfao...

Says one of the Cotto "fans" who likely purchased his fights against cripples Yuri Foreman and Sergio Martinez.

the foreman fight was on regular HBO and the Martinez fight was a fight where most thought cotto had no shot and was the betting underdog. Somehow that Martinez fight (even though he was reigning champ) is more of a joke than fighting a guy with no boxing record?
all hate aside, thats just silly

where are the idiots who said this is a publicity stunt??

Why would floyd not make this fight? It's a cakewalk for a mountain of cash.

same people that say ggg is goat said this fight wont happen....not surprising lol

Will watch the build and catch this at a friend's house or a casino. Gonna be a high paid Mayweather boxing lesson. Everyone gonna be mad at Floyd the next day for the fight going the way it does.

According to multiple sources, including Yahoo Sports, a deal has been reached for former five division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.(49-0, 26 KOs) to come out of retirement for a boxing match with UFC champion Conor McGregor on August 26 in Las Vegas. The date, requested by Mayweather Promotions for a Showtime event, was approved on Wednesday morning by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

Wow. I can't believe it's actually happening. Anyone who buys it is a chump, I must say.

Plus at least Cotto fought other boxers, guys who had beaten other boxers, not from another sport.
