    Most of the 4 million ppv viewers tuned in to watch Manny hand Floyd his first official loss. Only about half a million watched the Berto match. Conor has generated 6.85 million buys in fifteen months while his popularity continues to grow. Do you think Floyds greediness will prevent this fight from being made?

    It would be huge, both guys are massive names and do great numbers, put them together they may do more than either of them have ever done.

    So based on the fact it needs them both I'd split it 50 50. I say it would be huge I personally think it's a load of bollox

    By boxing rules, Connor (he will lose spectacularly).

    By mma rules, Flit'd (same reason )

    It will be absurd regardless of what they do. It's stupid either way. In an MMA fight Conor will be fighting a 40 year old guy with no experience in the sport. In a boxing match Mayweather will be fighting a guy with no professional experience in the sport.

    Whoever deserves the bulk of the money is dependent on how the fight would take place. Actually, I think Mayweather would deserve the bulk anyway since he already gets paid more than Conor.

    I have a feeling that Conor is a sneaky dude that might slip a kick or two in during the match.

    its unfair for Floyd if Conor kicks and unfair for Conor if he doesn't kick. I hope this fight doesn't come off, lol

    Having clearly beaten Manny in #48 and laid that ghost to rest, to finish with wins over Berto and CM would be a sad way to get to 50-0. So the PPV issue isn't of interest to me. Nor is the circus act fight...

    I voted Conor, because he's going to lose and is going to have bigger hospital bills. It makes sense that this should be accounted for.

    Stupid. Only 200K (adjusted for Bob inflation) watched the Pacquiao-Vargas fight. Mayweather has always drawn more against common opponents than Manny. So to say Manny was the main attraction is fanboy logic. By your logic Berto is more popular than Manny.

    Fight is not going to happen unless Conor quits the UFC. He is under contract. No way Dana White allows Conor to fight unless it's under the UFC banner.

    None ,as its a bloody Farce & nothing to do with competitive boxing .
    If it does go ahead it should not count on Mayweathers resume.

    Ali fought a Black belt Karate man , that was never put on his record.
    Its just another slime ball way for Fraud to beat the Marciano record, he had mutterings about his bout with Berto , so this is a sidestep & should not be bothered with.
    Let him fight Khan or Spence, then I'll sit up!

    Since this fight will break all existing records, from a financial standpoint, it has to be made. It will obviously be fought under boxing rules, even though the mma version would generate greater interest. Conor beats him inside one brutal round in the cage and Floyd takes a boring decision in the ring.

    Of course it's a farce but Floyd needs a new gold plated mansion and Conor needs a million quarts of green guinness, so it will happen sooner or later.

    All the money should go to charity

    They could do a lot of good for the world if they put aside their greed
