Comments Thread For: Berto: If McGregor Beats Mayweather - It's a Big Blow To Boxing

[Dempsey-Louis]

(Writing post fight) That would work for boxing so long as a victorious McGregor stayed with prize fighting (boxing) and didn't return to the AMA (or whatever that nonsense is called) - A victorious McGregor returning to cage fighting exclusively could steal away an entire generation of fight fans.

An interesting question (we won't know the answer to) is whether a victorious McGregor could have brought cage fighting PPV revenues up to par with championship boxing. He could have moved his sport into the upper echelon of entertainment instead it will remain at the the ice hockey level; the Stanley Cup playoffs are on ESPN II and for its championship fights, cage fighting doesn't hold much more prestige.

You are right boxing gains nothing from a Mayweather victory (and boxing needs something to change; it needs a great heavyweight.)

Oh, ok. It was real? You're celebrating?

Not sure I understand.

Damn straight i'm celebrating. Why shouldn't I?

Floyd came out of retirement well over the hill, and walked down and stopped MMA's "champ" and cash cow.

What's the problem again?

My feelings weren't hurt, you werent racist toward me, but you exposed yourself as a racist and now I think you are a piece of $h!t. And the breakup was sweet! Your white boy got his a$$ beat by a black man, and you hated every minute of it Cletus.
