Floyd Mayweather to fight Conor McGregor in Las Vegas on August 26

Is this just a circus or is a decent fight a possibility here?

I want to see McGregor get knocked out 1st punch...arrogant nonce, going up against one of the greatest boxers of all time, having never boxed before.

I won't be paying for it though.

McGregor might take a few punches before he goes down, but he's going down nonetheless.

Mayweather gets an easy fight and break the record for longest undefeated streak.
McGregor gets to make a fortune in a fight he will but can't lose in.
I only hope mayweather comes to the ring in his slippers eating a bucket of KFC to show what a farce it will be.

I said I didnt care about klitschko joshua when it was announced.

Fury beat him, big deal if joshua does?.

Then the SKY hype train went into overdrive and I was all for it by the time it arrived :hehe:.

Floyd making a mockery of the sport. Breaking the long standing most undefeated wins record against a non-boxer.

Turning boxing into WWE. Shame on him.

Yeah yeah, and everyone said it was a farce when Rocky fought Thunderlips, The Ultimate Object Of Desire in Rocky III but that turned out to be a real barnstormer.

2 of the most arrogant fu*kers around. Unless it's staged managed to go a few rounds so the teenagers can crack one off, then Mayweather will waste him in minutes.

If as expected mayweather canters to a win, does that damage the UFC brand?

No not really because McGregor would win, if this fight was an MMA match. What happens now is the UFC gets loads of publicity.

Mayweather isn't really a big knockout fighter, he will dance 5 rounds around him and then finish him off. I cant see McGregor being able to land shots.

As much of a farce as it is, it will sell.

You don't seriously think McGregir would win if it was MMA do you? Mayweather would waste him in both codes.

Mcgregor would just take him to the floor in MMA.

To switch between both methods of fighting you have to dramatically change you defensive stance to defend the open areas of your body. That takes a huge amount of time.

I don't agree, they are 2 completely different sports.

Mayweather will cut him to ribbons just like Hagler did with Alan Minter

His face will look like a London Underground map

I take it you havn't watched much MMA. Boxers rarely do well in the sport. Mainly because their ground work is not up to it.
McGregor would get him on the floor and tie him in a knot. Fight over.

Spot on.

How can it be sanctioned as an official boxing contest when one of the contenders isn't even a boxer?

What next, Anthony Joshua v Triple H?

If we're going to have a situation where some non boxer gets battered then at least let it be James Corden.

Hahaha. Totally agree. Anthony Joshua v James Corden I would pay 4 figures to see that.

McGregor has been granted a boxing license, to gain one of those you must be in decent health and have a level of boxing ability deemed worth of fighting in the professional ranks.

However its one thing being able to have a professional fight, its another to fight on of the best fighters of all time, but there is money in it so someone will host it and someone will sanction it.
