    "stealing all the thunder".................................Of course......... a boxer who's prime was at 130 over 12 years ago vs an mma fighter who has NO pro boxing bouts!!!!

    Only the dumbest moron would consider this joke "exhibition with pay" to be more important to the sport than the two best 160 pounders
    in boxing matching up!

    Suckers are born every minute!!!

    Will lil' Floyd get old after the bell? "peeleft:
    Is Conor a "heavyhanded guy"

    Compared to the two best middleweights in the world!!!

In fact, the GGG/Canelo fight will be just what the sport needs to wash the bitter taste from it's mouth after the amateurish McGregor/Floyd exhibition. It will help to get boxing right back on track where it belongs. Especially with the knowledge that Floyd will finally go away with his cherry-picked 50-0 record and never to be seen competing inside of a boxing ring again.
      Yeah, I'm actually glad CaneloGGG is so soon after that farce because I'm going to need some real boxing after that joke..

        I think you got that backwards.....as for me I was going to buy both fights but after Oscar pulled that b**ch move (cuz he & nelo said they would fight conor) so it got me debating on getting the nelo v. lil g fight. A grown a** man telling us not to buy the Floyd fight like if its bad for my health like gmo foods. Message for Oscar: Hey Oscar don't you know if you did that in the streets someone could end your life for that? Oscar stop sweatin Floyd & leave the man alone, GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM! LOL

Oddly, those bets will help Boxing fans because when tons of bets come in on Mac, that will raise the odds a little for Mac and this will lead to a bigger money cleanup for Boxing fans, and a bigger shock to those who bet on Mac. But, the UFC industry will make some long term money and try to get revenge by staging more of these type fights but with bringing boxers in the Octagon. This could end up being an ongoing rivalry.
          UFC has been trying to bring boxers inside the Octagon since it began in 1993. Art Jimmerman was in UFC 1. How could anyone forget the Couture/Toney nightmare?

          The simple fact is only washed up, desperate boxers with nothing to lose will ever go near an Octagon..

            Yea UFC is going to have to get some boxers into the cage just to show that the sports are different and MMA guys are actually beats in the cage. So that will be interesting in the aftermath.


            The odds are already pretty good because Mayweather is only like -700, which is a big favorite but honestly he is a much bigger favorite than that. Still I think the real money is better with MMA fans directly because you will not have to give them anywhere near par value on odds, if you give them 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 I think a lot will jump.


            Those people that lose money will be extra salty about boxing, which will be tough to listen too, but if someone was silly enough to bet on Conor I can't take their opinion on boxing seriously they don't care about the sport at all.

              Same. Not buying Floy/Mac, but definitely buying GGG/Nelo. I want to see compelling drama, not a 1 sided crap fest. I honestly think people are gonna change their opinion on Mac, regardless of if you think he'll lose or not. He's gonna look so so so bad. Just watch. He's gonna look scared by round 2. Jut watch, it's gonna be embarrassing.
              Conor is not & will not be scared, he fights for a living....drama will be in the Mayweather fight, you can count on that. Certain people awlays complain when they see sweet science so they can enjoy the Floyd v. conor fight cuz someone (conor) is going to get their a** handed to them. Its what casuals want, a blood fest....& in the nelo v lil g fight someone might get robbed, after all lil g robbed Jacobs.....

                I think history is going to repeat it self and mayweather mcgregor is going to cause serious buyers remorse come Sunday morning like the may/PAC fight.

                And all the casuals and mma fans are going to be saying how boxing sucks but then canelo is going to have a devastating KO victory over ggg like he did over Kirkland immediately after the may/PAC fight that will get the blood flowing again.

                  Right up to the end of round 1 and the last bell when Boxing fans realized they were duped by a circus act non-fight. Then they will start salivating an actual fight, with heart-pounding anticipation and intensity. Right now the FloydMac fight is all smokescreens and mirrors as they say in magic....till the final bell when reality sets in and people are saying WTF was that crap.
                  Just like the Canelo/Chavez fight right?
