He did do better than I expected. If he ended up even going the distance, it would've been a huge blow to Mayweather.

He did extremely well for his experience level. He hasn't boxed a lick since his mid teens if I recall?
I don't know Conor's exact size/boxing division equivalent but with years of training I could easily see him competitive with Quillin, N'dam level guys.
He fought a 40 year old, small, ring rusty, 2 year retired boxer who is not known for punch power or high work rate or walking down boxers
but Floyd did just that, walked him down and stopped him
Imagine what a bigger, active boxer with power, high work rate, etc would do to Conor
Honeslty i believe someone like Canelo would kill Conor in the ring, like kill him, really kill him
Even the small guys like Thurman, Spence would beat the breaks off Conor...

All things considered I believe Conor did better than 99.9% of anyone from any sport getting into boxing vs the best fighter of the last era. I mean ffs the Showtime scorer had it 5-4 Floyd going into the round Floyd stopped Conor in. Thats mfing crazy cuz I think there are 4 rounds you can legit suggest Conor won.
Meanwhile people were saying Conor wouldn't win one minute of one round. The guy over performed like him or not, you being petty about it or not. Even Floyd was respectful & said he was surprised with what Conor was capable of.
The guy failed, but failed doing something most cats would be too p#ssy to try & put in an honest attempt with his effort. I'll never hate on that & if I do I hope someone calls me on that sh^t so I can admit I'm wrong.

Floyd building a stable of fighters for a sport he is walking away from, really? Take a look at the post fight party Conor had to celebrate the payday.
Both sports will now be diluted for a broader appeal which may not happen in the next 12 months, but definitely, start to roll out after 18 months.
FY17 Q 3&4 are a crucial time for balancing businesses' needs for the next FY. They will need to have some fights with lesser star power for an accurate forecast, which we should see over the next 3 months.
I don't need to go into details, but both sports changed forever this weekend and they will be looking to capitalize on the rivalry it could generate and turn it into $$$.
The millennials don't seem to commit to anything due to constant trend changes across social media changing their weekly outlook. This business model would not require commitment over long periods and the books can be balanced with "big" cross over-fights.
We'll see.
