Official Conor McGregor thread (part 3) *Updated Warning in 1st Post Re:Boxing match

Axwell

The last thread was nearing the 10k post limit so here's part 3.

The same rules as the last thread apply here. People seem to have strong opinions either way when it comes to McGregor and threads here tend to get a bit heated from time to time. Please keep it civil and discuss all things Conor in a mature way.

Any name-calling, trolling, baiting, or being a general ass-hat will earn you a ban from the thread and possibly the forum.
If you have an issue with a post, please use the report post function.

Any off topic posts will be deleted.
Any "Do you even train Bro?" or "I'm an mma fan longer than you" type posts are not permitted either. They only make you look like a fool and as a result, everyone hates you. Yes everyone.

**Upate with Mayweather vs McGregor announced**

Lads consider this the one and only warning - big fight with a lot of hype around it. It brings new fans to the forum as well as the regulars so try and get along. Any trolling or nonsense and people will find themselves on a break from the forum and that applies to everyone.

If this goes ahead I wonder what the option will be to watch it legally here will be. PPV most likely but what carrier? SKY Box Office? Or being that its a UFC co promotion will BT Sports have the rights to show it.

Only question I have is if Floyd will try to make it look like it's not the farce that it actually is.

By right, if team McGregor are taking it seriously, he should have a couple of prep fights against a journeyman bum or two. But there's a very good reason that's not happening!

Still tempted?

Jesus wept, you'd need to get a mass said for yourself if you pay that much to watch this farce.

If Floyd takes this seriously Mcgregor is in serious trouble. He will be destroyed with ease.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's set up and we get a 12 round exhibition with little to no action.

I'm honestly still stunned it's going ahead.

This sets up Conor as PPV in the UK and Eire as standard going forward which is ****.

At least the most entertaining parts (the pressers) will be free. Or so we hope:(

You would think that he would not even need a training camp here. If he fights defensively and like his usual self then he has lost. He needs to go out and get rid of Conor within 2-3 rds tops. If not he has lost.

I agree but as i said on the boxing forum he has hit the jackpot . Easy exhibition fight , huge payday and 50-0 .

Everyone involved laughing all the way to the bank.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if Mayweather knocked him out and destroyed his chin, like what happened to Chuck Liddell :pac:

It's far, far more likely that Floyd knocks McGregor out than the other way around. He'll be hitting him for fun and connecting cleanly. I'd be stunned if it makes out to the 6th.

I was referring to the comment about Floyds fighting style. Do people genuinely think he would have to fight defensively ? He is not fighting a professional boxer . He is fighting someone who was average enough in a club gym in Dublin . He will tee off on him at will and if he doesnt its a staged fight imo .

The fight is a ****e fight yes.
If they Make the fight go on for longer than it should just to make a show and give people value for money it will be a joke.

The only thing we can hope for now is Floyd goes in there with the mentality to destroy him and knock him out.

If it only last 30 seconds it will be better than watching a friendly exhibition match.

I have nothing against conor winning either as long as he does under the conditions above.

Just going to throw something out there, will the 3 minute rounds be of benefit to Conor. There have been questions over his endurance over 5 minute rounds so he might be able to put more into a round. Obviously 12 over 5 is a huge difference.
Or is 3 minutes not enough for him to find his groove?

He'll be blowing hard by round 5 IMO. If he's to get TKO'd it'll between 5-8. If he makes it past than I think he'll recover and survive. I also don't think Floyd will be going 100%

I'm pretty sure T-Mobile is operated by MGM Resorts just like the garden arena. So he'd be doing business with the same people.

He said it's a huge payday, not that he'd win.

Here's the actual interview from last night. Kevin Newman saying Floyd is training daily now and Jeff said Roger Mayweather is still very sick so won't be involved in camp.

The new T-Mobile is part of the MGM family, like half of Vegas!

Jeff explained Floyd is more comfortable doing business with the MGM Grand (as opposed to T-Mobile).

Against the best boxers in the world . Im sorry but here he will be fighting a 0-0 fighter . One of the best boxers of all time is fighting someone who cant jab . It will be traget practice and should not be sanctioned by Nevada ( of course it will though )
