McGregor's head looks enormous compared to Floyd's.

I was thinking the same thing. Bigger target

True stories of the highway patrol. Mayweather ****s him like a screen door in a hurricane.

Floyd changes lives; outside of Canelo and Cotto, after fighting Floyd, opponents openly re-consider giving the sport of boxing another minute of their lives.

Maybe he thought about it before, but it seemed like walking out on that stage was finally settling in the magnitude of the opportunity.

McGregor Sports & Entertainment on the promotional banner, a packed Staples Center cheering his every moment, and a guaranteed check that achieves every ambition that he ever had for his family when they were grinding on the welfare rolls (his guarantee likely tops anything he's ever made in UFC, with Conor, himself, saying that he's looking at his own $100m if the fight gets to Mayweather-Pacquiao numbers).

The fight will be the fight, but having that set in on the actual stage is downright overwhelming.

It's so funny today, too. Conor literally went home and wrote jokes. You can tell! Floyd has done this 50 times with dozens of other people that would Conor couldn't even be a sparring partner with. Favorite quotes were from Berto at a 38 year old Floyd how he couldn't believe how fast and sharp he is. Or a 24 year old Canelo saying they had no clue a 36 year old would be that fast. I'm not even a Floyd fan, but I refuse to entertain this MMA fan BS. It's all ego. They'll have an excuse for when they lose just like an I told you so if a meteor struck Floyd's corner between rounds and they won (because that's the ONLY way).

exactly! He didnt realize floyd would do that much smack talking hahaha! He looked surprised and annoyed! Even backstage he looked soo happy like his life changed from a lotto! He knows this is a life changing event so he is going along for the ride! He is getting paid more than most boxers did! He will make more than even manny did i think!

only thing im concerned with is conors size and reach! mayweather is probably slower now than he was against berto as well! but maybe thats just the promotional hype working lol

Oh definitely haha. I think Conor's prediction inside 4 is because he's going to come out and try to overwhelm like Maidana did in the first fight and hope for some luck. He's not going to stay outside and work that reach. He's coming to bully, which is a mistake, because Floyd is great at slipping on the inside. He made that comment the other day that I loved--"I'm not the same fighter from 2 years ago, but I got enough to beat you!" And I think he's right. McGregor gases in 4 or 5 and it's target practice after that.

his punches are too straight to confuse floyd! Maidana threw looping shots from weird ass angles lol! Floyd still did a good job avoiding 70% of them!

bigger target for sure! Also that big frame will tire him out by the 4th or 5th round tops..

Absolutely. Difference in being a boxer for 20 plus years and becoming a true boxer over a few months. And now the knockout stuff is coming to light from McGregor's sparring sessions. And other sparring partners posting full videos because he was posting cut up ones. He's putting on his crazy face in the stare downs because he hopes his only chance is to try and mentally beat Floyd. Mayweather has been there dozens of times. Conor will be easier than Berto--and Berto was a pro.
