Boxing or UFC? which sport had the best Ambassador last night........

[eco1]

Mayweather has retired his "Money" persona for good.

I am from Grand Rapids, I know his cousin fairly well, she's said for years do not believe what you see, it's all an act. She says he is actually cheap. He leases his ***elry, he was given a few of his cars by promoters, and he rents his jet out to pay for his travel. Her last name is Mayweather, so maybe she's biased, but she talked about going to parties at his house and him basically just providing pizza and cheap drinks for his guests. Who really knows, but that's his family's view. Hope he's been smart enough to invest properly so he never has to fight again. The guy took care of himself and lived clean, here's hoping he's an ambassador for boxing for decades to come.

I hope he has to fight Conor again, in a cage, MMA rules to see him for the last time.

This is a boxing forum and we are talking about a F circus instead of talking about real fights.

Maybe you should stick to playing guitars.

The fight is over you can stop crying in your pillow now.

it was not a fight and didn't watch that circus

I would say Mayweather was the better Ambassador. He was calm and quiet and let his fists do the talking for the most part. Of course they both shared a million insults during the early build up to sell the fight. Mayweather didn't gloat after his KO win and gave Conor respect, calling him a tough competitor. I like Conor. He is fearless and funny but anything but an ambassador. His complete contempt and disrespect for Mayweather going into the fight was unbelievable and not the least bit ambassador like.He was going to knock Mayweather's tiny head clean off in the first round and Mayweather had no chance to win. He was going to be the new king of boxing. If Conor had won would he have been humble in victory? I think not.

People seem generally surprised/pleased by how well Conor performed in his boxing debut. I was surprised. It made boxing look a bit shabby but at least the end result was predictable.

We don't discuss it that much on this forum but the general public also hasn't forgotten that floyd is a thrice-sentenced woman-beater...

Both had a good showing and afterwards showed respect. For everyone hating on it, every bar in the city I live in had the fight, small bars even had it, and for that alone that's impressive. It was a huge event and boxing looked good because of it. The fight was entertaining and no one at the place I was at thought it was bad. Getting to watch the PPV with friends while having some drinks and food with no cover.... was amazing. People who didn't watch boxing came out to watch a fight for the first time and enjoyed it... that's all you need to know.

Honestly, I think both sports gained and lost nothing. It was neutral as hell when you take everything into consideration. Conor, the younger guy out of his comfort zone loses to a guy in his comfort zone. What do you think would of happened to Floyd if he went to UFC? Most likely Conor wins it. It's just the name of the game.

Obviously Floyd was the money name and dictated the terms. He would never allow himself in a position he could lose, thus bringing over Conor to his world.

In the end, it doesn't mean Boxing is better or if Floyd went over there and lost that UFC is better. It's all about comfort zones and what you mastered your craft for.

I still prefer and will always the stand up game, exchanging punches. So my love will always be with boxing. I've turned on UFC once in awhile for the big fights and have been mildly entertained as long as they stay up, but overall, it just never grabs me the same way boxing has. To each his own.

Both did, you simple f@ggot

Floyd is no ambassador for this sport IMO. I like risk takers and Floyd minimizes risks.

If I brought along some casual friends to watch, I'd have them watch..

Crawford
Lomachenko
Canelo
Mikey Garcia
Spence Jr.
Thurman

Out of all of them, I feel Bud and Spence Jr have a chance to do something special... though.. Mikey, Canelo and Loma still can provide some "x factor" to their performances.

As for Thurman, just not liking how he's finishing fights. But his skills are there definitely.

Why on earth would Floyd ever HAVE TO fight Conor in the cage? Who would make him fight Conor in the cage, the MMA karma gods? Mayweather is his own boss and nobody makes him do anything. He rarely makes ****** decisions like fighting Conor in the cage. Conor asked for this fight claiming he would easily KO Mayweather under boxing rules. Conor was wrong but he made a huge fortune. Nobody including Mayweather himself has ever claimed Mayweather would beat Conor in a cage fight. Conor is the best in the world at cage fighting. Everybody already knows that.
