Comments Thread For: Why McGregor Verbally Upstaging Mayweather is The Best Possible Scenario

[Califire209]

Whether this whole thing is fake or not the statements are still coming out each other's mouths to say that McGregor upstaged Mayweather is false. Mayweather had a straight face and never showed any emotion, but he made McGregor chew his gum like a madman and sit there with his feathers ruffled making him show signs of weakness

Good read, both are marketing geniuses to be honest for selling this crap fight.

Neither of them are marketing geniuses. They're just two fighters with mediocre banter doing what they have to do to sell the fight.

theres so much total bull**** in this article. Mayweather has always been disliked, thats how he sells fights. Reduced Pacquiao to amere Mortal? what a close decision he bagged over a past it pac man that got reduced to a mere Mortal by Marquez, not Mayweather. Give Marquez some credit, what Mayweather did was not extraordinary.

people Pay to watch Mayweather lose because he is an insecure little prick. he's a smart boxer, not the most skilled by any margin, but a smart boxer with a safety first mentality. The man hasn't taken a risk since the De La Hoya fight, although I give him credit for taking on Canelo.

That being said, Mcgregor has no business getting in there with him - and doesn't stand a chance in hell

People pay to watch Mayweather lose be cause those people are insecure haters themselves. The fight with Pacquiao was not close. Mayweather embarrassed Marquez so bad in the ring that the excuses are still talked about to this very day. Mayweather is a smart boxer but not the most skilled by any margin? That statement is contradictory. But Mayweather has always been good at having biased fans make irrational statements.It's not that Mayweather has not taken risks it's that he has always been that much better than everyone else. Safety first mentality my azz. It's called having the best defense in the history of the sport. And he has the highest accuracy of punches landed but of course you failed to mention that.

The idea that Connor McGregor who has never been challenged by the media is some how the more witty trash talker is complete nonsense. He is using lines fed to him by the media. Floyd Mayweather going back and forth with Connor McGregor is the same as him going back and forth with the media. He is saying the same things all of the biased media members say just with a different face and an Irish accent. There is nothing clever or witty about it. The whole reading thing wasn't even that clever when 50 Cent said and now that it's been cycled through the media and boxing forums for millionth time it is almost completely meaningless. Just because the media is against Mayweather doesn't McGregor is winning anything. Of course the media is go in to side with anyone who is against MAyweather because they are against him too. Add the fact that McGregor's best material is being fed to him by the media and you have a recipe for pure bias in reporting.

LOL could you be any more of a racist moron? Floyd has never been convicted of a single felony. He took a plea deal to 4 misdemeanors you ignoramus.

You say Floyd hangs out with welfare mammies but it is Conor "the white European" guy who was the only one on welfare out of the two of them. You call Floyd a woman abuser but I'm sure you were a huge Trump supporter, the same guy who was accused by 12 different women of sexual assault. Get out of here with the fake morality garbage.

Just saying Floyd hardly represents say 13% OF ALL america. Felon Floyd went to prison for beating and abusing and assaulting woman if you can even call them that. almost all of America is rooting for Conor to beat felon Floyd. What Floyd represents most decent folks want no part of anyway. America knows this anyway.

With a 152 CW when we all know Nelo struggled to make 154 lol.

And Flumos burned Manny for fighting Cotto at 145 when he never had problems to make 147.

[snoopy360]

McGregor was funny as hell. Whether its staged or not its making for good Tv. I hope my original prediction is way off and this happens to be a barn burner.

This whole scoring the press conferences thing is maybe quite possibly the stupidest **** I've ever seen in regards to...idk just about anything, lol.

Today on ESPN.com the lead story was "McGregor wins final leg of press tour".

Seriously??? We're scoring gotdamn pressers??

LMAO its true, its damn true!

[BoxHec]

and I wasn't impressed with Connors trash talk. it was generic. Broner mayorga Camacho would have destroyed him in a world tour like they just did. out of all the things said mayweather actually said the most impactful one. McGregor did not like being called a quitter u could tell that cut deep on his ego

And don't forget the crowds and the media (even the boxing ones and the American ones) are against Floyd, and those hypocrites and racists backs their great white hope & hype like he's Jesus, all those thinks stink, but Kudos to FMJ to stay confident in that type of situation, even at 40, but he know like we know that all that white BS circus will ends during fight night

And if you don't want to see Floyd wins so you aren't a real boxing fan, comprehend boxing scene?

[ironmt]

I fail to see where Mcgregor verbally upstaged Mayweather In these press conferences.
