Sadly after Mayweather wins this joke of a fight, he surpasses Rocky Marciano's record

youtu.be/LQGf7dWlbS8Ok apparently in a boxing sparring that happened recently, a trainer who was there claims that the boxer outclassed Conor.

Mayweather doesn't even have a visually appealing style. Why do people buy his fights especially late in his career and complain about how boring it was IDK I guess i'm one of the few who enjoy Floyds boxing

The spectacle of it all is the appeal. All the promos before the fight, seeing who comes out on either side, all the hype. This is not really a boxing match as much as its a pro wrestling match at this point. And honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the fight was worked to some degree That should be the tag line for the fight: Pro MMA Fighter versus Pro Boxer in A Boxing Match To Determine Once And For All Which One is The Best Pro Wrestler!

Everyone is going to call me crazy, but I have said this since the fight was first rumored:
Conor McGregor is going to f***ing destroy Floyd Mayweather. And it's going to happen fast.
And I say this as a fan of Floyd's. And yes, I follow both MMA and boxing.

Somehow this will be much more competitive than Mayweather vs McGregor. I am fairly certain that we, the internet as a collective can convince McGregor to come out to the ring wearing a robe that just says "Opponent" on the back as "Why Can't We Be Friends?" By War plays over the P. A.

As a human being I find him despicable, but his skills as a boxer and as a businessman I can respect him.

This fight is giving me flashbacks of CM Punk vs Mickey Gall with the Punk fans now being played by MMA fans and experts, hoping for Conor to fight and win for the honor of mixed martial arts by any means possible, while Mayweather is the one with more experience in the chosen discipline of combat.

Got a text from three different buddies tonight who are not MMA or boxing fans, but they're excited about this.
People are saying that it won't do Floyd/Pacquiao numbers, but I dunno about that. There are few people - if any - who can sell a fight like Conor McGregor. I think the mainstream interest is going to be substantial.

If you want to see a fight you watch Canelo or Pacman. See, I enjoy boxing as a skill, not just as two guys wailing on each other. Floyd, to me, is dull as dishwater.

Floyd, to me, is dull as dishwater. I can see that too. Floyd is one of those people where you can go either/or on I appreciate his footwork, defense, glove speed but obviously that can be boring as shit to other people especially when it comes across like he's not doing shit

Floyd, to me, is dull as dishwater. Same, and largely because Floyd ducked so many credible opponents for so long. I love, love, LOVED his fight with Shane in 2010. Wish we got more of that. He'd be a lot more beloved.

I honestly think the odds for a DRAW are greater than a McGregor win.
That said, in any other medium from MMA to wrestling to monster trucks to freestyle battle rap to hot dog eating to Pogs to long-distance zit popping to Hawaiian nose-humming, I'd take McGregor over Mayweather.
But, it's boxing. Mayweather is winning this.
OF COURSE, it is 2017 where absolutely nothing in the world makes any semblance of sense, so sure, go all in on Conor because if he's going to squeak out a victory, this is the year it happens.

I've watched a lot of boxing over the years, from the era of Jack Dempsey to Sugar Ray Robinson, Carmen Basilio, and Jake LaMotta to Rocky Marciano and Sonny Liston to Ali, Frazier, Foreman, and Norton to Duran, Leonard, Hagler, and Hearns to Tyson or Chavez to Lennox Lewis to Daniel Zaragoza or Marco Antonio Barrera. I'd take every single one of those guys over Mayweather.

I'm gonna be naive/optimistic...but I'm going to laugh my ass off if McGregor miraculously lands a lucky shot that takes down Mayweather. I'll laugh for days and days..
I'm also with Dana, I think this is gonna break the world PPV record.
