Plus he gets to hit that 50 mark.

He filed for multiple trademark/copyright for 50-0 this week. #JustSaying

Does anyone know of/remember the fella (I think he was Egyptian or something like that) who was going on about being undefeated and calling himself the greatest ever but he was just boxing novice after complete novice. He had a record of 30-0 or something at some stage. I remember seeing clips from some of his bouts on youtube and they were quite funny. He was at one of the lighter weights. Almost zero technique/form

If you look through the boxing threads there was one set up about that guy alright, he was just got in and swung like a windmill

Dana White has said he will give them 25 million each to fight, eh your about 75 mill short of what Mayweather expects to even lace up a pair of gloves there Dana.

The reality is nobody outside his close training partners noes.
Using his form in MMA as evidence for how he'd do in boxing is a bit like suggesting how footballer would do in running based on how fast he can dribble the ball.

Yeah but one can say with near absolute certainty that his boxing ability is nowhere near that of a professional boxer.

Unless you have humongous MMA blinkers on.

Your example is a bit of a stetch too.

I can say with near certainty that none of the Dublin GAA players would get a game in next years CL final teams. That's more analgous to the Conor & Mayweather "fight"

Ah lads, in fairness cop the fuck on.
McGregor is fit. He'd be fit enough to have a decent run at the intermediates. That's about it...................

Indeed, lots of MMA blinkers on folk.

That was the late great Ali Raymi. Died two years ago in Yemen war

Where was this reported? He did that like a year ago around the time there was rumours of a Danny Garcia fight flying about.

Also anyone saying this is the biggest fight of all time is going to be disappointed I feel.

No way this does the numbers Mayweather-Pacquiao did.

It possibly won't break the record, but it would certainly be top 3 of all time. Likely number two imo.

Floyd via KO-TKO

Guessing what figures this will do is kind of difficult. Needs to be 2.5 Million PPVs to beat Oscar-Mayweather to get number 2 slot. Whether or not it's the biggest is up for debate, one thing that is not is that it will be the biggest con job in boxing history.

If I was putting a number of it, I'd guess that it would do 2.5-3m buys.
But as you said, very difficult to pull out any more than an educated guess

I wouldn't read to much into that video. You don't know the circumstances behind it.

Vasyl Lomachenko suggests UFC gloves in boxing ring McGregor vs Mayweather -(EsNews Boxing) - this idea could make things a bit more interesting.

McGregor still no match for Floyd in a boxing match - though this idea could make it more interesting.:D

I doubt it would happen, it wouldn't be a boxing match by any legal definition. Boxing gloves can act like a shield so it would change everything, it would put Mayweather at a disadvantage. Don't know if it would be enough of a disadvantage.

Very much doubt it would happen.

mansize · 19-02-2017 04:05PM

This is a bigger sham than my 3rd marriage!!!

bono_v · 25-02-2017 11:18PM

Are people actually discussing/wondering what the result of this boxing match WOULD be?
A low level amateur intermediate level boxer who lost against other intermediate boxers versus one of the greatest boxers of all time?
Please stop this nonsense!!!

Floyd is 40 with brittle hands, hasnt fought in ages its also harder to do a fight camp aged 40 and get down to weight so far that reason alone I think Conor beats him,

He's always struggled with heavy punchers like Maidana ect hasnt ko'd anybody since the sucker punch of Ortiz, McGregors style would cause him serious trouble I'd expect McGregor's left hand to ko Mayweather in 6, hes used to 5min rounds in mma so the 3minute ones would increase his power output.

See what your meaning with the 5 minute rounds but truth I read Mayweather works harder than any fighter also remember for the Gatti fight Mayweather was sparring 10 minute rounds .I see it similar to Mayweather Gatti Conor would be lucky to last 6 rounds I think in MMA though agree could be a different story .

Floyd via KO-TKO

I think any fans of Conor that want to see this fight should pay heed to what happened to Haye at the weekend. That fight showed what can happen when a fighter shouldn't be in a boxing ring if they're not fully capable. In Haye's case, it was due to his injury, but in Conor's case, it would be the difference in boxing skills.

It would be dangerous for Conor to step into a boxing ring, simple as.

Imagine you are a professional boxer, been boxing since the age of 9 or 10. You've risen through the ranks, showing promise, winning amateur bouts, eventually going on to the Olympics and even medalling. You turn pro, and after 6 or 7 years you rise to the top of your division and are a number one contender.

Then you step into a ring with Mayweather, and you can barely land a glove on the guy.

This has been the experience for most of the guys Floyd has faced. And you think Conor would have a chance?

XsApollo · 06-03-2017 12:43PM

It's akin to a table tennis world champion taking on Federer at Wimbledon.
Or a pitch and putt world champ taking on Tiger at Augusta.
Sure they might win.

Conor via DQ

Due to the proliferation of ways in which people can circumnavigate the requirement to pay PPV views via online streaming mediums means comparing PPV's over time is not a fair reflection of a fighters demand in a moment of time. When De la Hoya fought Mayweather there was no such thing as an Iphone and I was using 128k ISDN when browsing pictures and text only on the internet.

If there was only a way in which you could measurement a humans retinal impression I'd have no doubt that Mayweather / McGregor would be the most watched fight of all time period.

To remedy the issue of who gets paid what I propose the following:

Simple solution is for people to buy the PPV via two channels or using two promotion codes. Channel 1 Mayweather boxing, Channel 2 UFC, Or online via PPVMAY or PPVMAC or even a split code PPVsplit that way there is no need to speculate as to who deserves the pay. The number of purchases from each source determines who gets what.

That's a ridiculous suggestion tbh. It's not the X factor.

There's no issue of who gets paid. They get paid what they agree. A fight needs two people to happen
