Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I'm Taking Bigger Risk Than McGregor; Legacy on Line

[j.razor]

Risk is taking a chance at something you have little competence or ability in such as McGregor going into a boxing ring against one of the greatest defensive fighters of all time. That's risk. Floyd going into the octagon with no MMA experience and the fight being sanctioned for his 50th win, that's risk. He's full of it and I'm not surprised people like you buy into his BS.

You know what's B.S.? lil g....LOL

Legacy was damaged when you made the fight.

Haters gonna hate. The man's Legacy is already cemented.

I think he's conflating potential damage and risk. If he loses, the fight will hurt his legacy. But the risk of losing is very low IMO, given the conditions. This is a high-reward low-risk fight, the best scenario for Floyd, and typical since he became a PPV star. For him to claim he's risking his legacy is disingenuous or unintentionally erroneous.

You aint on THC you on that Booze

I'm sure connor is a capable athlete. But riusks usually are associated with fighting people who are likely to beat you.
Floyd could fight a flyweight boxer and also claim he is tasking a risk as his reputation would take a pounding losing to a flyweight.

youre taking no risk whatsoever and you know it. the way youve got yourself to that 50 mark is absolutely pathetic, andre berto and a 0-0 fighter. youve damaged your legacy.

Of course he has more to lose, but that doesn't mean there's any realistic chance of him losing. Just saying "anything can happen" isn't good enough either.

I don't think some people understand what he's saying. He's not taking a big risk as in he could lose, it's what he has to lose if he does. The problem is that it's a big if.

But it's quite simple and his logic checks out, if you're IQ is above 70. Yes, if McGregor loses, he loses nothing, his record goes from 0-0 to 0-1, he goes back to UFC and makes millions more on PPV, possibly sells his ability to go 12 rounds with Floyd (if it happens, very likely). He has nothing to lose.

If Floyd loses he goes 49-1, to a guy who's 0-0 and is a UFC fighter and had been seriously training for boxing for a few months. Floyd loses more.

But this is obvious. I doubt jmm had much to lose reputation wise losing to floyd. But that's because jmm stepped up 2 divisions. Same for brook losing to GGG. But GGG dont go around boasting about losing reputation by fighting brook.

It's not a jab at you, I'm surprised that someone such as yourself would buy into it that's all. No pun intended, I've read your posts and that's why I made the comment.

People like me? You obviously haven't read the majority of my posts about this fight but the facts speak for themselves. Floyd has a lot more to lose than Connor does. Connor is about to quadruple his net worth that doesn't sound like much of a risk to me. Floyds reputation could be in tatters after this.

When floyd spoke of mcgregor having all of the advantages I called bull**** on that because it was bs but I do agree that he has more to lose going into this fight than mcgregor. There's no expectations of Connor if he was to see the final bell it would be seen as a victory of some sorts.

BS is j.razor pretending to know anything about boxing let alone having boxed before. That's utter BS...
