I am a Conor McGregor fan but still want him to lose, and lose resoundingly on Saturday by stoppage.
At the same time I am annoyed with Mayweather for giving us this terrible fight. It's a disservice to boxing. As a fan of the sport of boxing you can't be pleased with this.
Fair enough to McGregor. I don't really see the thought process between him taking this fight and any one of us. Obviously he has the profile to make the dream come true but your average man, actually even woman, would fight Floyd for a $1 million never mind whatever Conor is getting.
But..........the one good thing to come out of it would be a definitive full stop to these kinds of bouts in the future. In which an elite MMA guy will hop into boxing into a megafight queue-jumping viable contenders in his boxing debut. It is just ridiculous.
As boxing fans we get involved and spend time and money in knowing the narrative of contenders and potential match-ups that can be made so to have someone who isn't even a boxer steal a march on them is rubbish.
I personally wish Floyd didn't come back. I can't see any real upside for boxing. Unless he's going to plough money earned into his promotional company or something
