What IF McGregor wins?

[elfag]

the rematch does 6 million PPVs

If he wins we simply ask for Mcgregor vs GGG and go best 2/3

LOL

I don't think people understand. Asking if McGregor has a shot is like asking of somebody who goes ice skating with his family every Christmas could play defenseman against Wayne Gretzky in a one on one and expect to win. McGregor has reasonably fast hands but he doesn't have a fast twitch muscle in his lower body. He's going to make a 40 year old guy look half his age.

McGregor will be lucky to land one good punch.

For those who need a refresher who how important controlling distance is watch Mayweather vs. Marquez again if you can stomach it. Floyd could do anything he wanted in there. JMM looked like he was bolted to the ground.

This is going to be ten times worse than that.

Look, I totally understand this whic his why I think May wins BUT there is always a miniscule chance in a fight. Yo got fists? YOu can make it happen...even if its less likely than larry getting off drugs and getting laid.

I think boxing fans take this sh^t too seriously. Mickey Rourke, the actor, had a boxing career. Did any of you have to explain why a actor went undefeated in boxing to anyone?

If somehow Floyd catches a L to Conor then Floyd catches a L to Conor & you don't need talking points to talk to non-boxing fans about it, whatever Conor beat him with thats how Conor beat him. You'll be able to see with your eyes what happened.

LOL cmon now, you are downplaying the biggest ppv since May/Pac and you're downplaying the undertones of MMA or "real fighting" against the perceived safer option of boxing. You're also downplaying the effect of the internet on rivalries such as this.

The loss would be huge.

Every loss is huge to the guy losing.

And people keep wanting to make this into something bigger than it is with boxing vs MMA. This isn't boxing vs MMA. This is two guys fighting. Very popular guys with lotsa eyes on them, but two guys all the same. They represent themselves not a sport ultimately. And whichever guy loses will have himself to blame so if Floyd loses he'll need talking points or excuses not us fans. This is boxing (*GGG voice*), sh^t happens.

If cmg win, its very bad for boxing obviously. Casuals think Mayweather is like by far the best fighter in today boxing but they dont know ****. Conor got a fair chance to win here, or at least make it to 12 versus a old, done, wayyy past prime mayweather. But he would get destroyed inside 6 rounds by Crawford or Spence like very badly

If Conor wins it's over for boxing. That's why I never wanted this fight to happen. If lightning strikes and Floyd loses I just don't see anyone taking boxing seriously again. They will always say an mma fighter would win.

But I also think it would open up more fights for Conor. A Conor/Canelo fight would be bigger than a fight with floyd.

Your kidding yourself if you don't think it's boxing v mma.

Boxing would be far from done lol but it might make conor into a more consistent boxing presence

I'm not saying its not about that to some people. I think the overwhelming majority of the people showing interest in this fight have a skewed opinion of what its about & yea a good clip if not most of them probably do think its boxing vs MMA. So I guess if we are going by the theory of perception creates our reality you are right.

But I'd say thats not my perception. To me this is this guy vs that guy just like every other fight is at the end of the day. There is no boxing vs MMA, there is no Mexican guy, PRican guy, Russian guy, African guy, White guy or black guy. There is just two mfers hitting each other in the head trying to find out who's better. Thats what boxing is about to me.

Conor will murder the sport of boxing.

So you're down for Mcgregor vs Ward then?

[johnm is...]

Weren't people questioning "What if Trump wins" well before the election and people laughed.

Slight bit of difference between a fight, and a vote.
