I wouldn't suggest illuminati level stuff... but I could certainly foresee a scenario, where Floyd sets the groundwork for a re-match!

Think of the amount of money he is going to make, for essentially dancing around the ring with a novice boxer. Very tempting to jump back on, for another spin around the money carousel...

I don't think he'll risk losing the fight... But he could let Conor survive for just long enough, that punters get excited about a rematch. Another few months for Conor to improve on his boxing skills... many people would easily get suckered by such a scam!

But in all likelihood, he'll probably just have fun toying with Conor, and embarrassing him a bit. I think he might be a touch jealous of Conor's popularity and standing in the fight world... so he'll probably quite enjoy making him look foolish in a boxing ring, I would imagine! (and of course, cashing in on his fame, to milk him for a sh!t tonne of money!)

It's absolutely not nonsense.

Your reply to it, well....

Floyd can do whatever he pleases in the ring..he owns this event as regards the action in the ring..if that means "carrying-toying" with Conor as one of his options, only a fool would think he could not do it.

Alf Veedersane · 02-08-2017 10:17PM

Whatever about Floyd wanting to draw it out a bit longer for the show, there's absolutely no way he risks the 0 on his record. . If he loses, he loses and not because he was teeing up a money-making rematch.

I doubt highly he'll even play around, he'll be going to get his 50-0 as quickly and safely as possible, say what you like about the circumstances he gets it he goes down in history, can't see him risking that for money he can easily make elsewhere given his celebrity

Exactly. He's been risk-averse his whole career. He's not likely to start now with 50-0 at stake

Say if a freak event happened. Floyd broke his hand momentarily lost concentration and McGregor flattened him with a left cross.

Who would be the first name on the advertising boards for the rematch? Who's getting the majority of the money?

Floyd has broken a hand in a fight before and still won easily. As early as the 2nd round

No problem if Floyd toys with Conor for 12 rounds. It will be obvious. Conor could have Floyd falling about like a foal on ice and you and your like will say "it's all part of the act" . The worst thing is i don't think ye are trolling, ye actually beilve Floyd who hates been hit, never been hit, will let Conor light him up.

Floyd goes down in history for getting 50-0 against a non pro?

You do realise that there are plenty of people that view this as a non fight and won't recognize it as 50-0 should Floyd win, and IMO rightly so.

You trying to big up Conor here with that nonsense?

This "win" will be viewed as a nothing by any sports fans, not juts boxing fans because Floyd is spoofing here trying to sell this as a credible fight-test.

He could break both before the fight and still beat McGregor.

Plenty of people don't matter. It'll go in the history books as his 50th fight. His boxing record will read 50-0 to anyone looking it up. There will not be an asterix beside it saying *fought Conor McGregor. I agree its a joke of a fight, but it will go down as 50-0.

That's fine. But the poster seemed to be suggesting that it somehow elevates Floyd's status...That to me is utter nonsense. If anything it should diminish it, or at least do nothing to it.

It elevates Floyd to 50-0, is that not one of if not the best mark of all time?

The reality is yes it will go down as 50-0 but it is the equivilant of Floyd taking a fight against a journey man pro just to get the 50
McGregor generates the money and thats what it is all about, a not to be taken serious fight

hbhook · 03-08-2017 11:00AM

Floyd via DQ

The whole 49-0 was because Rocky Marciano retired as champ undefeated. I've just seen that the retired champion with the most victories was Mexico's Ricardo Lopez, at 51-0-1. As someone highlighted the other day Julio Cesar Chavez jr was 87-0 until a draw against Pernell Whitaker.

And that little monster Roman Gonzalez would've also gotten to 49/50 if he wasn't jobbed in his last fight. Then again he may have had to fight the other 'Monster' in his division before he got there.

Regardless he'll be 50-0 having beaten 22 World title holders .. some record to be fair.

I finally watched an acelino Freitas fight the other day. Against Joel Casamayor. According to Doug Fischer Freitas is another that Floyd could've fought in his featherweight days.

Without doubt, he will go down as one of the greatest, McGregors mouth has elevated him to his current status. He was beaten by a journey man who had little prep and who knows where his career would have gone if he lost to Aldo but he landed a perfect punch that night

Yes, the 49-0 part is some record to be fair. The addition of the Conor win changes nothing on how any sports fans should assess that record.

Regarding the 49-0

That record was reserved for the HW division really. That is how it should be interpreted.

Rocky was always referred to as the only HW champion to retire undefeated. He was never referred to as the only boxer. They always stressed HW, as this was the premier division.

Sorry, where or how are you implying that I said or mean that Floyd lets Conor light him up?

Playing with and toying with an opponent means letting the opponent light you up?

If that is how you want to interpret it away you go...

True and of course Marciano was tiny for a heavyweight.

Which is more impressive: Floyd's 49-0 or Conor's 1-0 (just assuming it happened for pig iron)??

49-0, especially when it is broken down.

A bit claseless from McGregor getting Paulie in to try make a mockery of the man . Expected better . And the fact he didnt manage to do that makes it worse.

Haha. So a man that has no chance does the impossible and beats a man at his own game but still not that impressive.

You've lost me there. Paulie is agree to come in as a sparring partner. He's getting paid, and seems happy to give interviews/updates every few minutes.

He got stick for sparring Artem. Now he's getting stick for sparring a boxer. Has something happened that I missed?

You said which is more impressive - 49-0 beating 22 world champs on the way is more impressive but lets not let reality get in your way as you are trying to say McGregor will win so you're already suspending reality.

Paulie is reported to have said he felt that scheduling 12 rounds of sparring the day after he flew across the country and that Dana was there to watch was a bit of a set-up to make McGregor look better.

He brought a crowd for the sparring session Dana / Lorenzo . Told Paulie it was 12 rounds when he is in no condition to spar for 12 obviously with the intention of making him look like a fool and prob dropiing him when Paulies legs gave out. Didnt work out that way though. Just thought there was no real need for it . Paulie is one of the good guys
