I bought pretty much every Mayweather PPV fight.. can't think of one I didn't pay for. I definitely WILL NOT be ordering that PPV.

I mean, if we look at it just from a circus perspective, it's kind of fun.. But from a fight fan purist perspective, it's complete garbage.

It's kind of like Ali vs Hulk Hogan .. nothing wrong with it.. It's just some circus/entertainment stuff. This is slightly different in that it'll be a REAL FIGHT, but still, it's mostly a circus event.

So i'll just continue to look at it from the circus perspective & appreciate that for what it is.

The idea of Floyd breaking Marciano's record with a fight like this, instead of fighting GGG, is very annoying though. Hard to not let that annoy you if you're a "fight fan". :/

What happens on Aug 26?

Mayweather v McGregor

lol i'm not looking forward to that at all, mcgregor is going to get slaughtered.... no fun when u know exactly whats going to happen....

FWIW I think Mayweather wins but...

At worst McGregor has a punchers chance. He carries concrete in his hands and is a unique mover. He will come in bigger than Floyd with reach to boot and if Floyd is as defensive as he would normally be then McGregor has so much more freedom to move around. I think it's going to be a really interesting fight.

I disagree. McGregor has a puncher's chance in the same way a meteor has a chance of falling on the ring and killing Floyd

Floyd will be able to do whatever he wants to Conor.. The question is really: will he string it out to give the fans "more action" and play with him to make it a longer fight? I imagine he will.

Personally, i'd like to see him end Conor in round 1 and just be done with it..

If they were fighting in MMA, i'd say Conor would destroy Floyd, absolutely no chance, not even a puncher's chance. These sports are just way too different.

Conor has never seen anything like Floyd's speed/reflexes/stamina/movement in a ring. And he can't slow it down by tackling Floyd to take it to the ground or kicking his legs etc. He's just a sitting duck.

As for Conor having concrete hands, sure maybe in MMA.. but I imagine not at all in boxing. Boxers fight with bigger gloves & have better chins, they are all about taking head punishment. Lots of these MMA fighters seem to have glass chins - could be due to the gloves but, I imagine it has more to do with less hardening of themselves to proper head trauma while growing up. They probably spent more time wrestling, doing BJJ, doing more weak sparring than the stuff you see in these brutal boxing gyms around the world etc. Boxer's usually have hundreds of amateur fights, and spar hard af in some really grimy gyms while they are growing up.

dno.. i'd be shocked if Conor lands anything impressive.. or even if he looks impressive at all. He'll have maybe 1 round (the first) where he has an ounce of confidence and will look sharp .. but after that, he's going to be Floyd's play toy.

 

Also, 2 huge records were broken in this year's finals:
