Official Conor McGregor thread (part 3) *Updated Warning in 1st Post Re:Boxing match
The last thread was nearing the 10k post limit so here's part 4.

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.

Wish people would stop going on and on about if this was a "real fight" Conor would kill him, its a ****ing boxing match get over it!

It's 100% relevant mentally *this week*.

Saying otherwise is foolish in my opinion. This is the first guy (ever) Floyd can look in the eye and say "I'll fight you right here, right now" and be laughed at.

That exact thing just happened the other night and it's not good for an egomaniac, alpha male like Floyd.

Will it matter August 26th? Probably not, no but... it might prompt him to get aggressive to try KO Conor early.

As regards the undercard:

Showtime boss Stephen Espinoza has said they considered doing more MMA-boxing match-ups but in the end decided against it.

"We’re looking at Gervonta Davis defending his IBF super-featherweight title, Savannah Marshall making her professional debut, and possibly Badou Jack taking on WBA light-heavyweight world champ Nathan Cleverly."

Yeah but theres massive contract clauses stopping as much as a push so its completely irrelevant.

Boxing is as real a fight as you can get

Try standing and trading with someone for a few rounds...it soon becomes clear

The most that people spouting that crap have traded is probably their Pokemon Cards as kids

That's not an opinion...that's a imaginary depiction of the situation

No conlon/Taylor then? Are they with other promotions? 4 seems like a quick night

Not irrelevant if your opponent laughs in your face because he could easily ankle pick you in a heartbeat and drill your skull through the floor with an elbow.

It's irrelevant if they know they won't get into a scrap up on the stage. What matters is Floyd was the one starting it with the "I'll fight you right now" and Conor was the one in stitches laughing in his face.

That's alpha-male playground-stuff 101. It's like being punked in front of your girlfriend while trying to act hard. It can sting the ego to be laughed at like that and can easily make Floyd want to put him unconscious on fight night.

Dunno if I would take that as gospel?

But I think bringing it up would cross a line, not necessarily that Floyd would be too upset but I think it could turn the crowd on him. Joe and Jane 6-pack might find it tasteless.

It would be bad for brand McGregor, in my expert opinion. Although I have an extensive track record in being wrong on most things.

You've swallowed the kool aid whole, they are loving the face offs pair of them wont lay a finger on each I thought they'd allow a push or two but the contract must have zero psychical contact written into it.

I know they won't touch each other.

It's the knowledge that if they did, Conor would mangle him. Floyd is not used to that. With every other opponent if he said "i'll fight you right now", then he'd confident of slapping the head off them.

Not here.

Lads still aren't in the building and they are due to talk to media separately before the show. Have a good night lads!

This is the first boxing match in Floyd's career where he knows his opponent would rip his head off in an unarmed fight.

It might count for nothing in a boxing ring but bear it in mind as the week unfolds because I expect Conor to ramp up that angle of attack.

Travis Browne would rip Mcgregors head off in a fight.

Richard tea

yep im out. Cant see the action starting until 01:30 maybe.

Travis Browne couldn't open a can of beans at the moment he's a completely shot fighter :pac: No idea what the relevance of that is anyway because Floyd is fighting Conor not Travis.

The simple concept I'm getting at is fighters are alpha-males and Floyd has a big ego. Boxers like Floyd for a long time thought they were the *hardest* guys around.

Floyd can't intimidate Conor like he could other fighters, in any setting other than a boxing ring under boxing rules on August 26th because until then, he's the first opponent he knows he can't beat in a regular fight.
