    I don't think would ever go into the octagon unless he can make it work for him and get paid on top of it.

      I'd agree that plays a part too.

      But the discussion has been about Floyd in an MMA bout, not making accommodations for Floyd to be able to compete in one.
      Thats just the bait. The switch part is coming...assuming the fight gets made which I still doubt like I imagine most still do.

      I would respect Floyd for attempting that not meaning that I don't already. But if he needs accommodations then I'd rather he make a return bout to boxing.
      I respect Floyd already so him getting involved in another sport doesn't matter to me.

      But this is a money thing. A casual, mainstream fan thing. This fight, if it were to happen & just like their first fight, isn't for us hardcore fans or for hardcore MMA fans.

      Its not about what 90% of people on a forum like this acts like or maybe legit thinks its about. Its pleasing the most people, most who watch fighting 1 or less times a year, & to make huge bank from appealing to that giant mass of people that makes hardcore boxing fans look like the tiny niche group we are most of the year minus that one day when people that know f#ck all about fighting join us.

        She was a trained kickboxer before she went on the straight up boxing circuit.

          Sadly this will do better than the 1st Match if Mayweather is stepping into the Octagon

            Its only 4 months difference.

            And its only hurting his own payday to compete with GGG vs Canelo II is the biggest reason I don't see it. Its hurting the GGG vs Canelo event too, but I don't think Floyd's ego is THAT fragile or his hate for Oscar is THAT big to fight on that date. I think Oscar hates Floyd more than Floyd hates Oscar...Floyd just likes f#cking with Oscar, but I don't think he'd make a bad decision over Oscar like Oscar would potentially do & maybe has done cuz of Floyd.

            And what fight is happening in September? Canelo vs BJS (I tend to think Canelo winning or losing = that fight cuz its the fight that'll pay BJS the best + gets Canelo back on a belt)? If Conor vs Floyd II happens in the cage in Sept. I think Oscar shifts that Sept. date cuz he'll know its not viable or if he keeps it he gets murdered on PPV cuz Canelo vs BJS is no Canelo vs GGG.

                Is this it?.....
                That's the one. Make a meme with Floyd getting choked out by Conor and that's what will happen if Floyd don't get his head kicked, elbowed or kneed first.

                  Thats not a meme
                  Its a genuine picture of Connor getting beat down
                  One of many

                  But wait I think i know what you are getting at.....

                  You really wanna see Connor take Floyd from behind
                  Thats what this is about isn't it

                    Has McGregor been stripped? Guess he has no intention to fight the winner Ferguson-Khabib.

                      Why go for a genuinely competitive fight when you can fleece the public for a second time for almost triple the pay

                      How much did Connor average with each fight...couple mil?
                      This is big money for him

                      I hate the idea but I understand it
