    I think point 4 is correct. Mayweather even feels a little insecure that people call his fights boring and even goes out his way at times to make fights with more action.

    Mcgregor is getting much more hate these days for not defending and such.

    Mayweather seems as natural as Mcgregor to me in his persona. Maybe Conor is a better actor and thus more fake, but I dont find this distinction to really impact on fan perception other then of course race.

    However, generally there is a double standard.

    Really? I don't think I've come across one person who has anything positive to say about Conjob McButtdribble, the guy is an utter strap-on! I actually wanted Floyd to hurt him in their fight, which is a first for me, as generally I value a fighters well being and safety...

    Besides that, I think underneath the 'Money' persona, Floyd is actually a pretty decent person these days (I say these days, not in the past with beating women etc) whereas Conjob is just a deplorable twat.

    Painful watching him hype the Floyd fight on stage, truly pathetic watching him strut around arms swinging like they'd popped out their sockets.....

    As in his opponent bringing more action ??? Because Floyd had not fought for the fans in years or showed more action !

    I would pay good money to see Floyd in the octagon with a mid-tier 145lbs er. What a sight that would be, the entire 27 seconds before he gets choked out.

    People like you, who talk about him every he farts or blinks his eyes are part of the reason why he still gets attention.

    Well the difference is Lomachenko actually has backed up his words by fighting the best in their primes and he’s done so in his first 11 fights. He doesn’t talk ****, wait for guys to decline or go through wars (Floyd Did it with PAC and is doing it with GGG) before fighting them. So when Loma hints at something, we take it serious. And he never said to McGregor multiple times he’d fight him in the cage after their boxing match.


    Also, many people just don’t like Mayweather and for good and obvious reasons. So yeah, he can expect some ‘Haters’ Plus Loma was a very good Greco Roman wrestler as a youngster. So he would be way better at MMA than Captain iv.

    The mcgregor fight he wanted to be last to make up for maypac, he stood there against cotto, canelo, maidana as well. Also to make up for victor fight. Many interviews he has its clear that when people call him boring it disturbs him.
    And his opponent has to bring the action if they want to win anyways.

    Because you idiots keep on giving him your money. I am proud to say I have not put one dollar into Ducker of the Decade’s pocket since the bogus Marquez fight.

    Floyd is always 10 steps ahead of people, There's a reason hes the highest paid boxer in history by a landslide, He said him self he had a game plan all those years of trash talking etc. A 10 second clip of him in the octagon has triggered millions of haters around the world once again, Lmao the guy is a genius.

    Do i think McGreggor whoops him in the UFC? 100% YES Do i think floyd ever puts him self in that position 100% NO, Hes a master troll, he knows his own strengths and weakness's, Hes mastered the art of fighting without fighting. Hes made him self untouchable even if you have the power to hurt him if you could touch him, you never can, but he can put him self into position to touch you, hence getting the biggest name in UFC into a boxing ring, pure genius.

    It’s his drug to be in the spotlight. That’s why it’s hard for him to be a promoter. In his mind, he’s still in self promotion mode. His fighters are over shadowed by Floyd and the attention he garners
