    He will do no such thing..... Remember. He's here to get paid, doesn't care about winning. Certainly doesn't want his payday jeapordized and possibly withheld.

    Don't really care either way... But seeing the most blatant cherry pick of his career somehow bite him on the ass in such a way would be a almost poetic... Not going to happen though.

    As much of a circus as this has turned out to be with the clownish pressers , It would not surprise me , Gives the perfect excuse for a gigantic money grab in the rematch that all the haters, chumps, and casuals would love.

    I know next to nothing about UFC but didn't McGregor lose his last fight?

    If he can't even win in his own sport what chance has he got

    Boxing will be scrutinized more. A couple of examples lol.

    Joshua will have to fight Wilder.
    They can't duck Rigo anymore although he's old now. Gary Russell/Rigo at 126, Garcia/Loma at 135.
    Many will follow in Crawford and GG's line and fight unification/lineal championship fights.
    Beterbiev will fight a live body because I like him, and Stevenson and Kov can finally fight.
    Bad decisions will be scrutinized more closely.
    The CW's will crown 1 champion. The SMW's will crown 1 champion.
    Bob Arum and Don King willl be thrown out of boxing.

    This is just a couple of examples on my wish list if Floyd loses.

    The fix is in anyway. That's why this fight is garbage.

    Don't know why but when I think of this fight, it reminds me of the Gerald Washington/Deontey Wilder fight. I mean, if Gerald would've won, it would prove that boxing is just that easy with a few years of training.

    Now with this fight, we have a guy who's only been training for a few months tops, thinking he can beat one of the best welterweights in the world. And if he succeeds... regardless of what you think of Mayweather, wouldn't you think that would be a black eye for boxing...?

    So no, I'm not nervous at all because I know the veteran boxer is going to win a boxing match vs a 0-0 fighter... I don't have to like or hate Mayweather to know this...

    People are going to look like fools when McGregor does better than a "0-0 debuter". It's not as if they picked up someone off the street. If boxing looks bad because of this fight, its only because we never gave him a chance.

    McGregor needs a sparring partner that pivots and runs so he can create reflexes. He already knows how to hit hard. He should be prepared to run and cut off the ring against Floyd.

    Forget boxing, Forget Defence. Floyd has manged to nuliffy so called "A-boxers" defence and embarrass them to a high degree whenever they try to box. McGregor would be wasting his time learning how to "box".

    He needs to force Mayweather into a slugfest. He doesn't even need stamina, because if it goes past 5 you can bet he will loose by points. His best reaction to getting hit isin't going to be to block or dodge, but to hit back.

    He needs power, that's not something you learn in the ring after years of experience. That's something your born with.

    Most boxers don't have grappling/wrestling skills to effectively implement this.

    Floyd tried this with Pac. During one clinch Floyd violently yanked up on Pac's arm. They had inside knowledge that Pac had a shoulder injury.

    My love for the sport of boxing surpasses any personal dislike/opinion that I have of Floyd.

    Like it or not, Floyd is representing Boxing with Conor UFC .....and I choose Boxing.
