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.

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.

That's true but he'd still kill McGregor!

My point is that this tour is pretty irrelevant as far as the actual fight goes. Neither of them will get in each other's head, or achieve anything significant other than ramp up the promotion.

It's all about selling tickets and getting the public interested.

Interviews with media seem to be confirming this. Neither are really talking about the fight, they're talking about how much money they are making, Mayweather is complimenting McGregor on his promotion skills. I'm still of the full belief that as far as an athletic contest goes, this is a non event.

Sure, McGregor is gonna go out and give it his best, try to do what no one has ever been able to do and knock out Mayweather. But the key element for both is that this is a huge payday.

Mayweather is rolling back the years, one last day in the sun. For McGregor it's breaking new boundaries in terms of how much he's paid. The fight is secondary to both of them.

Well, I fundamentally disagree in terms of the contest.

I was pretty steady in my prediction that Floyd would win in a 9th round TKO but I'm slowly being converted to the dark side and can see Conor getting him out of there late in the 3rd round.

Just a feeling... don't shoot!

I won't shoot!

I know you've unbelievable respect and belief in McGregor, no issues with that. And it's great to have that "what if.." feeling. I've had it for various different athletes and teams and it's great to have that feeling of hope, to feel the impossible is possible.

But everything so far about this fight looks to me to not even really take that into consideration. Bringing Schaub in as the MMA guy is one example. Schaub too wants to believe that this can really happen, but as Rogan had to tell him before there are reasons top fighters are top fighters, there are levels to every sport. And this isn't even Mcgregors sport.

The closest I have seen to a boxing expert respecting Mcgregors chances is Andre Ward, and he still gives him zero chance of winning. Just that he could make the first few rounds interesting.

Mayweather is delighted with how everything is going so far, huge crowds, loads of interest. He's been through all of this before with truly amazing boxers like Canelo, De la Hoya, the list goes on.

This time it's not even a pro boxer he's facing, and the money will be even bigger for him. It's a no lose situation.

The same goes for McGregor, he could be preparing to fight Woodley, Khabib or Ferguson, all of whom would have the ability and desire to really hurt him and his legacy. Instead he's facing a 40 year old, smaller, very defensive boxer. There's a much smaller chance of getting hurt and a payday multiple times of what he would get in a UFC fight.

I've said from the beginning everyone has already won, the contest is already over. Contracts are signed, and tickets and PPVs will be sold.

The fight itself, I truely think it comes down to however Mayweather feels. He could certainly finish it within 6 if he really wanted, in what would most likely be a corner stoppage. However there's no real need for him to do that, so my prediction is a comfortable decision win.
