      And instead of being grateful for this opportunity and exposure all he's done is disparage boxing all the way through.

      I don't think anything he does here will earn my respect.

      Maybe after Floyd beats his ass and he apologizes to all boxing fans then I'll consider it
      hmm its actually the other way around. floyd is riding conors booming popularity to fill his pockets even more and disgrace boxing with a joke fight simply because the guy hes fighting is very popular. you act lke floyd is popular on his own but we saw that wasnt the case when he did 400k buys against berto. conor does 1.5 mllion buys no matter who he fghts. floyd saw this and jumped at the opportunity to make easy money. the sheer farcicle nature of the fight will draw many more millions in. its a perfect example of the car crash which the american culture has become.

        If he wins a round, i´ll be impressed

        but he must really WIN it

        not just take it by default because Floyd was ****ing around and going easy on the bum, which is something that could happen

            Take his beating like a man and make no excuses and he will gain my respect.

                  This. Or go the distance and not complain.

                  However, I don't anticipate McGregor surviving all 12 rounds.

                    And how much money wise did floyd do vs berto? Exactly and conor did what 1/10 of that. Floyd coulda came back and fought a keith Thurman or a canelo rematch and still have a 9 figure payday while conor still giving half his paycheck to dana and getting only 7 figures. Conor been talkinh **** about floyd for years in the mma using his name while floyd never mentioned him. Conor riding Floyds coattail cause he wants a payday. Hes willing to pimp himself out and get kod for that money.
