Comments Thread For: Conor McGregor: Boxing Match With Manny Pacquiao Next In Middle East

[Roadblock]

Floyd did ruin boxing.
Not because of his bout with Mcgregor.

It was because his style of never engaging and running and strictly winning on “points” and then claiming the best cause he’s “undefeated”.

PAC and Mcgregor both deserve retirement payouts. Let them enjoy.

Floyds KO percentage is 50% Mannys is 54% its very hard to have those figures fighting the quality they have by not engaging, if you must hate at least have something more substantial than just your empty opinion.

With Pac, he most likely wins
With May, it's a wrap.

The constant winning bores them.

Yep the biggest losers always hate the biggest winners.

The guys that Pac lost to....I can't even imagine them winning a single rd vs May.

That's the problem when you just look at the paper and not at the actual fights.

There are times Mayweather is just head and shoulders above his opponent but he still played it safe. e.g. Baldomir.

To be fair to Mayweather, he wasnt like that early in his career. Some says hand issues forced him to change. Maybe. But I think later in his career, he also figured out that people will watch him no matter what. He just needs to say the right (this include ridiculous things) during the promotion. Then he'll just get the win no matter what - even if it means stinking it out. Then he'll sell the undefeated narrative again.

Now, that earned him millions. That was good business for him.

But then again, I dont blame fans for having negative opinion with that.

Mcgregor can be very dangerous that furst round when he pushed mayweather into the ropes and landed several good heavy shots

Mcgregor had some good counters against the best defensive fighter of our generation,it was his first fight in a boxing ring and he did extremely well,fighting pacquiao is most likely too big a step but i could have seen him beating a lot of fighters on his power and accuracy alone

Pacquiao would mince him and make him quit early before his face gets broken worse than margarito’s
I think a lot of people are overestimating how much power McGregor carries, he was massively the bigger guy against a semi retired, forty something, counter puncher with glass hands. Who after carrying him for several rounds, abandoned his defensive style and walked Connor down with zero respect as to what was coming back at him.
I remember in the build up to the mayweather fight watching McGregor’s highlights on YouTube and while there were a couple of one bombs i was surprised how many big clean shots he landed with those tiny little mittens on that only momentarily stunned his opponents.
I think there’s a world of difference in the power your average boxer carries in their shots compared to their ufc/MMA counterparts.

Yeah great, make the rich even richer, fly them in on massive golden planes, all in Middle East at a golden boxing ring. Yessss, all I wish for comes true now, let them shake their golden hands with diamonds on each finger and let us all get happy.....for them

[HewJohnson]

Manny and Mcgregor deserve it.

How many PPV’s it sea you think?
3 mil would be my bet.

You can just imagine the mental gymnastics again if Conor stays in there for ages and wins a few rounds like he did with Floyd.
