what bigger story would there be than mcgregor knocking out mayweather?

Realistically or hypothetically?


I can think of a few things. Tom Brady cheating is usually a pretty big story lol.


Bro it's in a boxing ring, they only can use their hands. Conor has power but his combos and his strikes are not percise like that. Pauli Malignaggi is a mop now. Floyd is going for 50-0. And will make a statement in doing so. I actually think it will be a very entertaining fight now. Because conor is not a bad boxer at all, but his style is more wild...he is a way better fighter than boxer. He has power in that straight left. I like Mcgregor. But lets be realistic. Mcgregor is trying to sell to the public that he can beat Floyd. And Floyd is trying to sell to the public that Mcgregor has a chance. Lol.

Did floyd take the fight? Yes. So he will win. Do you honestly think Mcgregor cares if he goes 0-1 in professional boxing knowing he's about to be +100 million dollars richer? I don't think he will care much as he goes right back to the UFC as the biggest name in fighting sports regardless if he wins or loses. It's a win win for Mcgregor. And it's a lose lose for Floyd. So that tells you really who is more hungry deep down to win this fight. And who really in a boxing ring has more tools?

If mcgregor wins or loses this fight he will go back to the UFC as the biggest name in combat sports. That includes boxing.

Conor was stinging him with big gloves

Good chance they will be using 8oz gloves after the August 16th hearing.

Sure Malignaggi doesn't hold a candle to Floyd but Conor only needs to land that left 1-2 times ...

Doing all that still wont beat floyd. People underestimate the art of boxing and once mcgregor gets in there you will realize how hard it is to connect on floyd. This isn't chad mendes lol

You're really buying all this stuff?

The fights not going to be competitive in any real type of way. It's just a carnival act.

Wouldn't surprise me if Paulie is McGregor's next fight in the ring, but who knows at this point.

Ummm Floyd has fought waaay better punchers than Conor. I think he can handle a couple lefts.


Ummm was Floyd 40 at the time? No.

Not smart to be sleeping on that left ... IF he is able to touch Floyd with it .... Zzzzzzzz

Floyd's always had an iron chin. Only way he is going down to a flush McGregor left is if he owes $ to the wrong people a la Sonny Liston.

Buying the fact that McGregor has a chance? Yes.

Lol that's my point. He will go back there win or lose as the biggest name in combat sports. What is their to lose?

It's impossible to say how things unfold, and I mostly agree with you that it is a low risk proposition.

But it's kinda hard to label yourself as "The Baddest Man on the Planet" when another guy is just totally clowning you in the ring. If he gets KO'd and embarrassed vs Floyd, I can't imagine that would be a positive thing for his image and brand. But time will tell.

The range of possibilities with McGregor range far and wide at this point. You could see him only fighting 1-2 more times in the UFC after this. Cage fighting isn't really for people worth 9 figures.
