It will make Mayweather (and the experts) look bad, but it will be a boon for the sport to have successfully stolen the world's most popular 'fighter', right from the UFC's pathetic clutches. Even though most of them will be fools, more people than ever will be paying attention to boxing. Fortunately for us, Conor will lose badly, and boxing will go back to being forgotten, and not even mentioned in the sports section of most news papers.
    Boxing Is an amazing sport In that regard. It rarely makes headlines and 9 times out of 10 when you attempt to discuss boxing with a friend, coworker, or someone you just met, they have no Idea what you are talking about. Yet when there Is a big fight, It can sell 1 million+ PPV'S.

        Stop throwing blankets over everything and be specific.

        Floyd will stop Connor that's whats going to happen.
        WHAT? My God that Is by far the dumbest post I have ever seen from a Floyd fan.

        Mcgregor Is 0-0 In a boxing ring with absolutely no professional experience. It doesn't matter If It Is a lucky punch out of nowhere.

          Conventionally no. There is waaay too much history to the sport of boxing for it to ever be discredited.

          These are the stakes however for MMA which is suspect for being heavily if not completely loaded with junior college level athletes. Elite boxers are raised like thoroughbreds. Not trying to be unfair with MMA but there was never any argument or question of who the better fighting athletes are to begin with.

          We'll be getting the live action version come Saturday. Man against boy. Professional against perpetrator. MMA is about to get Ronda Rousey'd. All that hot air is going to get frozen.

              So a wild shot in the dark that happens to connect is no longer a lucky punch that anybody with a fist might deliver, to you that is a legit beating of the best of this era.

              Well its not going to happen but fck me what a dipsht you are,

                A guy In Mcgregor's position who has never boxed In his life should never land a "lucky punch" against a fighter the caliber of Floyd Mayweather. Floyd Is not losing and If Mcgregor lands that "lucky punch" that you are talking about, Floyd's entire legacy goes out the window, whether you like It or not. He will be remembered for that loss for the rest of his life due to who he lost to.

                You are already looking for excuses In case something crazy should happen and your words verify that fact.

                landing a punch from nowhere is not quite the same as really winning the fight or really beating FM.

                So landing a punch out of nowhere, Isn't really winning?

                You are a complete moron and that Is an understatement.

                  What do you think its called a lucky punch for you short sighted idiot lol.

                  Its not going to happen so don't get all excited lol, its like if you can even talk about Floyd losing you get all warm inside lol.

                  What did you think of the guy that won a gold medal because the entire field crashed and being last he shot through and won, you would be cheering like a fool lol.

                    So explain to us how landing a shot out of nowhere is not really beating FM? I already clearly said It Isn't going to happen.
