    Correct - I agree for the most part.

    - GGG is too big, but that would be the death or glory fight. Won't happen, and shouldn't IMO - but neither should this farce, so...nothing's off the table in these hypotheticals!

    154 return would make a statement, Lara/Andrade/Charlo etc would be a huge challenge - but not worth it as they aren't big enough names - so no chance. High risk, low reward.

    147 - Brook/Spence winner, Thurman is now very marketable, maybe Pac 2....and if he wanted to cross the aisle Crawford would be a great challenge.

    There are so many potentially great, tough, legacy making fights that it makes this carnival even more of a tough pill to swallow.

    If true this is a cash grab by both nothing more can't fault either really. Would anyone in the world turn down a 100 million dollar payday?

    If true I love it. Floyd using a hypejob to get rich. Love it. May go see it in theatre.

    Your a better man than me. I would have to watch just like the record breaking crowd will be.

    You mean more of a joke than it already is? Flo.mos and Casuals buy his 49-0 bs but real fans of the sport, the truly knowledgeable ones know his legacy is based on monetary achievemant not in the level of competition he fought in the ring which is C level at best.

    "That Russian" can't make weight and is always injured.

    Ferguson, who will be next up for McGregor in UFC, assuming he fights MMA again, is a much tougher matchup for McGregor.

    I think if this BS between Money May and McG happens, obviously May wins, and re-retires and McGregor finishes his contract (like 3 fights?) and also retires, rich as you like, laughing at fans.

    I just watched a video where Floyd and Conor were playing around somewhere. Conor
    is much bigger than Floyd....not that it means anything, but I'm just saying. Like a full
    blown middleweight standing next to a jr WW.

    Height, reach and age would be McGregors only advantages.


    Pretty good ones too, but nah, he ain't beating Mayweather in a month of Sunday's.

    I'd like to be proven wrong though.

    I'll watch it, no doubt about that.

    I kinda hope McG retired after this and the sport can go back to the best fighting the best.

    Two diva champions is more than enough right now, hopefully McG gets his payday and retires, Bisping gets past GSP and then faces Jacare or Romero and all is right again with the world.

    If Mayweather was smart, he would let McGregor knock him out, so there can be a rematch!

    And make a 2nd payday!

    Agreed?
