    Agreed. Two completely different sports. Elite MMA guy stuffs a boxer in the octagon, and elite boxer will stuff any MMA fighter in the ring.

    Glad to see Poirer win, deserves t.

    McGregor is a great advertisement for how **** UFC is. A guy reliant on boxing, who is a terrible boxer, dominated the sport.

    While it was obvious that Mayweather carried Connor in their fight...Pacquiao, who fights nothing like Mayweather was not likely to carry him anywhere(unless he was helping with the stretcher after the fight). I hope that **** is put to rest now.

    Would have been better for boxing had he won via ko and then fought Pac this year as was the plan. Pac was gonna rip him to pieces. Would have been nice for Pac and would have looked ok for boxing.

    it won't put an end to it because he'll still generate big $$$.
    that's the bottom line.

    nah the fight won’t be AS big.
    But it will still be plenty lucrative.

    win or lose the man is an icon in combat sports.
    Think Arturo Gatti x 100,000

    thought floyd was going to show up and help carry McGregor out the cage like he helped carry him round a boxing ring

    He dominated the headlines, was not even close to dominating fight wise. He crumbled every time someone hit him back AKA Diaz who is average AF

    This just proves that Floyd carried Conor over 10 rounds.
