I'm with most of you maniacs that see this as a circus bc of all of the most obvious reasons.
BUT w the opening line on McGregor being a 17:1 underdog?!!
For those who are still in the closet about being at least a little intrigued, isn't it at least worth not paying for the fight, and instead putting that $100 on a McGregor bet?
Mayweather has all of the logical advantages on paper.
In practice? He's out of it two years. Plus, there isn't an alpha in the world who isn't terrified of turning 40--not one.
McGregor is a rangy southpaw with a good chin (he's used to getting hit by 4 oz gloves by people like Nate Diaz who Andre Ward spars with bc he respects his boxing skills btw), and the ability to outwork Floyd in any clinch bc of mma. In fact, McGregor could slip out of something quicker than most boxers, and possibly gain position.
And finally, and most importantly, Floyd has everything to lose here.
And no, you triggered ******s...not amongst boxing purists. Floyd is a goat legend; we all know that.
But Floyd craves mob opinion/attention. If he slips for even a second and gets caught by a McGregor who will comfortably weigh 170 on fight night?? Could it happen?
Probably not.
But at 17:1 odds?
And if Floyd loses, then his ENTIRE career in the eyes of the mob will be forever tarnished. You think he's not at least considering that?
If you think that doesn't weigh on a man who has gotten comfortable in his 40's with no pressurized combat in two years, then you're not a betting man.
Enter Conor's mental game. He's the natural alpha here. Floyd has nothing on Conor's mental game. It's the objective truth.
Conor admittedly studied Floyd...and Tyson and joe Louis and Ali and foreman and Beckham and Lebron and Vince McMahon and brad Pitt and Bruce lee...watch his interviews. If you don't get the point, then you are simple.
This is a studied tactician in the art of mental warfare. He knows he's not better than many of his opponents physically, so he breaks them mentally before the bell sounds.
Superstars are so often unappreciated in their time, but these two (McGregor & Mayweather) are best-in-show.
Floyd beats McGregor's ass all day on paper.
Let's see if McGregor is smart enough to get in Mayweather's head over the next two months...
I'd bet 17:1 odds that he might be.
Am in insane?
Seriously. I'm open to persuasion here.
