    A 190lb journeyman. He knocks out people his own size.

    That said, that's MMA. In boxing he won't pay a glove on Floyd and will get KO'd

    Don't know if they're really his size, at weigh ins McGregor looks like a junkie which suggests to me he's UFCs very own Canelo.

    Sad but true.

    Floyd will put a galactic beating on Conor even at 42 and the only winners will be the respective fighter's bank balances.

    I always thought Conor was a dude that was on the level. He has to know that he's going to get stomped. To me he's looking for a cashout, same as Floyd. And shame on Floyd too for trying to get his 50-0 against a DEBUT boxer. :facepalm:

    I fear yes. With an alleged $100 million pot there's enough dough to grease all the hands that need greasing.

    The thing is, i can't stand most of the MMA fan boys, always comparing to boxing and saying their superior, etc. So as much as it would pain me to see a MMA fighter beating Floyd in a boxing match, giving those fans even more ammo, I think i would still like to see Floyd KO'd in light of that.

    If it makes money it makes sense

    The suckers are going to dish out $99.95

    Smart business decision

    Floyd is old. Losing now to anyone wouldn't hurt his legacy. He should not be fighting McGregor. It's an embarrassment to the sport.

    I know a bunch of people who bought the Pacquaio fight and not one of them is ever going to buy another Floyd fight. Not sure what his drawing power is any more, it certainly wasn't there for the Berto fight. This is a circus act and should be treated as such. :elefant:

    LOL, I'm pretty much an MMA fanboy. I'd love to see Conor KTFO Floyd, but I'm wise enough to know that's never going to happen and McGregor is going to be eating through a straw after that one. Sad thing is there are other MMA fans that seriously think Conor is going to ream Floyd and are going to be deluded enough to shell out bucks to watch :ohno I saw a vid of Conor sparring and omg, Floyd is going to look like King Kong against him. :boxing1

    I would never pay for that mess and it shouldn't be recognized as a legitimate boxing match. I can understand Floyd trying to get paid but he can't get my PPV money. If Floyd calls it what it is ( an entertainment event ) instead of acting like it's a 50th defense I would not be so insulted. What I hope is that Conner loses it and throws a round house kick and knock Floyd's ass out. That would stop the BS.

    floyd just wants the mccreggor fight. He doesn't talk about fighting no other fighter. Why? Because he enjoys retirement, he doesn't want to box, but sees the mccreggor fight as too good to turn down. An easy 100 million in his eyes and that's worth the comeback. Actually, Floyd is starting to look desperate in making that fight happen. I don't blame him LOL
