Mayweather-McGregor pressers scripted?

[ironmt]

He looked embarassed at the start of the first one but now seems to be going with it just fine.

I understand he is a monstrously greedy, shameless man but I do wonder, if in his quieter moments, he wonders WTF he is doing. He is a legitimately great fighter tangling with his trashy loud mouth from another sport.

I agree and he should be embarrassed . To be honest Floyd has always come across as a guy struggling for acceptance IMO. I don't think he necessarily wants to be portrayed as the villain, but that Is the way he makes his money.

We know there Is a different side to Floyd and he shows It In Interviews such as the one yesterday after the press conference.

It just doesn't seem that money really bought this guy the happiness that he looking for.

Like I said, I am not a fan of the guy, but no one can deny what he has accomplished and this act with Mcgregor Is so far beneath him that It Is very difficult to watch.

I gave up wrestling as a 9-10 year old kid and I, along with many others, I'm sure, Is having a hard time accepting that a sport that we all love has become a scripted WWE event.

Floyd is not Alpha'd.

Floyd shuts down Conor on earnings
Floyd shuts down Conor on tapping out.
Floyd shuts down Conor stunting Dana White employment
Floyd stunted the Irish Flag
Floyd stunted 3 million last bout vs 100 million
Floyd always calls Conor a bıtch on stage
Floyd concludes that fans cant save Conor during the fight

Just because the crowd cheers Conor for tieing his shoes louder than what anything Floyd says might seem like Conor is ''winning'' anything but he's not

All reasonably flawed points:
1) Of course he does. He's 40, and Conor is 28. Conor's net worth was at a minimum of $25 million prior to signing a $75 million contract for this fight. I ain't one to get into fights about other dudes' money, but for Floyd to come out and say that Conor is an eight figure fighter just shows that Floyd can't even do simple addition either. Conor is a nine figure fighter as soon as the bell rings. And he's 28. Floyd was getting bent over by an old *** at that point.
2) You clearly know very little about BJJ. Tapping out is what you do when you admit defeat in a certain situation. The goal is to protect your health--not your "0".
It's the whole reason that the UFC is surpassing boxing in PPV each year. They put on the most exciting matchups which, yes, leads to very few undefeated fighters. But that's a good thing. How a fighter reacts to a loss is telling. Conor tapped out, woke up, demanded an immediate rematch under the same conditions, worked hard, and avenged his loss against a guy who took full advantage of the weight advantage and came in at easily 190 lbs. Conor took flush shots from a 190 lb sparring partner of Andre Ward's (listen to Ward praise Diaz' boxing skills) wearing 4oz gloves, and still savaged Diaz in the end.
So, did Mac tap out? Of course. Proudly.
You're probably one of those morons who thinks people like Margarito are "warriors" for unnecessarily taking a beating that causes permanent loss of eyesight.
Conor is a smart businessman, and a savage fighter. Floyd knows this, which is why he gave Conor the same cut he gave Pacquiao in the negotiations.
3) Dana White employment? You really think Floyd is his own boss?! Don't be ******. The minute guys like de la Hoya or Floyd are actually their own bosses, you'll see how quickly their bank accounts dry up. Floyd is at least smart enough to keep Al Haymon around.
4) Stunted the Irish flag? By begging for it repeatedly from a fan who finally relented bc it got embarrassing? By holding up proudly and posing with it? By walking over and handing it to Conor after Conor warned him that he'd **** him up if he did anything too ****** with it? Yes, stunted like a daddy.
5) yes. A once in a lifetime fight is always going to eclipse any other fighter's payday. By that logic, then Floyd is Floyd's own ***** taking the Berto payday after his PAC fight.
But okay, I'll give you that one
6) good one. I have a feeling that you are 16.
7) This is Floyd's best point. And as long as he's still as mentally tough as he's always been, then conor won't get in his head, and he should coast to an easy UD, or an ugly TKO over Conor.

But...McGregor is not ******. He knows that his primary advantage is outside of the ring. He's actually really good at getting into people's heads. To me, this is the most intriguing part of the fight. They'd be ****** to try to script these guys. They're the perfect impromptu foils for each other

I clearly don't know BJJ? lol. Dude I work in the industry of MMA. this is a boxing fight too under the Marquess of the Queensbury rules... you know, the fighting Irish know it...yet Conor calls boxing ''limited'' ffs

To work in the industry doesn't mean you know **** about the tradition of the sport. If you did, you'd know that tapping out is encouraged when you situationally admit defeat.
If you don't know this, then you'd be better off selling looseys on the street

wait, you said Conor is a 25 million fighter before coming in, net? How? You said when the bell rings Conor is a 9 digit fighter? Conor is not even Pacquiao in this split. You do realize this is a TMT vs UFC event, ''Floyd vs McGregor'' is not your orthodox split deal. What is Conor's percentage from the UFC deal? Conor has every right to exercise his license but UFC has the upper hand with what they would advise Conor in doing. It's not like Conor could or would to go to any other MMA organization as UFC is #1 in branding him. The point is Conor is the last of the food chain from TMT to UFC (White) and then finally Conor McGregor.

So again you say McGregor is a 9 figure fighter at the bell, you're saying Conor's minimum take is $100,000,000?

cmon dude...

Forbes has Conor at $34 million before the contract for maygregor was signed. You think Conor won't net $66 million after all of the revenue from PPV, sponsors, merch, etc...(not to mention the exponential increase his global brand will get).
You're embarrassing yourself, man. If I was wrong here, I'd just say so.

[Big_L]

I knew it was fake as soon as Floyd and Conor pointed at each other at the beginning of the press conference.

After UFC take a huge cut and taxes etc? NO. UFC robs him blind. He got paid $27 mil from PPVs last year. $27 mil from 3 million PPVs sold. The UFC have to share the revenue with Mayweather now, so McGregors cut per PPV will be even smaller for this event.
