Stick a camera in front of a drunk Irish fella in Bordeaux last summer and ask him who'll win the Euros and he'd be like "ireland of course" with a dozen lads cheering behind him. He knows well Ireland weren't going to win it. Stick a camera in front of a drunk Irish fella in Vegas and ask who wins they'll be like "McGregor of course" with lads cheering behind him. Too Tough to Die's point was it's going to be cringey all the boys on the lash being interviewed saying McGregor will win. My point was they don't actually believe it It's not comparing the sports, it could be cross-country skiing for all it matters, if the "lads are on tour" and a camera in their face, they're going to say stupid sh1t they don't actually believe.

Ireland were guaranteed at least 3 group games and the potential to win any of the 3, so actually if you asked people outside the 3 matches you'd of got normal people predicting wins over Italy Belguim or Sweden, and sure enough they beat Italy, In this case there is zero chance of him winning a single round probably a single exchange in the fight so theres no comparison, of course you might get event fans there who show up to anything if Ireland are represented an have a drink, There is no sane person that thinks he can win bar himself and I use the word sane loosely about him.

Same in Vegas. It'll be "McGregor!!" followed by cheering and drinks flying. That's not what they actually genuinely believe! Anyway Conor has a punchers chance, just like Ireland had last summer.

It will genuinely explode and we will all have to go outside and talk to real life people again like the good old days. I hope it happens at this stage for the spectacle of it all. I imagine Floyd will demand 10 billion and a pink unicorn to sign though.

Personally I feel it's highly unlikely that if this event even happens in the first place, that McGregor would have the cardio to go 12 hard rounds with any boxing pro. Also Mayweather is an older athlete, even the best slow down a step or two at this stage of their career. Do I believe McGregor will win, as much as I'd like to hope we would, I just can't see it happening. That being said you never know. However one thing that is for sure is that the level of hyperbole on both sides of the argument is getting tiresome, and posts like this exemplify the tit for tat posts here lately between both extremes.

Look I agree with the core point a McGregor win is highly unlikely . I'd just rather go without the silly season comments is all.

jcd5971 wrote: » No I don't actually which I stated in every post I made, I think he will get comprehensively beaten. However I still firmly believe statements like Mayweather has to break his legs to lose are nonsense. He wouldn't be the first champ to come back from retirement and get taken out by a huge underdog these things happen. Do I think it will happen...no Is there a better than a 1% chance... Imho yes there is.
