X2

Why should he get the same guarantee as Connor McHype?  Give McGregor $25 and Money $50 and work out the ppv revenues.

This fight being sanctioned would be something else, Connor is not a boxer and Floyd isnt a mixed martial  artist. Itd be like a a MLB team signing a 29 year old former NFL qb because hes a good athlete, even though he hadn't played baseball since his junior year of high school.

In a pure boxing match, Mayweather would absolutely annihilate McGregor. It wouldn't even be close.

We are talking about the best boxer of all time (arguably). If Conor can't use his elbows, kicks or any takedowns, he is useless against a guy like Floyd.

Dana is also a piece of shit to think that he can low ball a guy like Mayweather into taking a fight for $25M. Mayweather makes Dana look poor in comparison and does way better promotion than White.

I would pay to watch this fight. But just like we saw with Ronda, just because the UFC/MMA hype machine decides to build up some of their talent and peg them as killers that would destroy professional boxers in a boxing ring under boxing rules, shit can and most often times will go very wrong.

Put the best boxer in the world in an MMA ring and have him fight under MMA rules and he will get defeated. One takedown and he would get submitted. Enough kicks and he won't be able to defend, let alone get close enough to his opponent.

Put the best MMA fighter in a boxing ring and have him fight under boxing rules and that MMA fighter will get fucked up, especially if he fights a boxer with the skill set of Mayweather.

Slipping a kick, or take down, is no different than slipping an opponent's punch. Getting out of the way of your opponent's attack, whatever it is, is reflexes. That's  what separates the best boxers, and other martial artists, from the rest.

Letting your opponent hit air, instead of you, is one way to get him to waste energy, and gas out quicker. Doesn't matter what he's trying to hit you with, if it doesn't land, then you're good.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I certainly respect yours. But Mike Tyson & Shannon Briggs both say that they wouldn't have standed a chance in an MMA ring and these are some of the best boxers of our time (possibly in the top 5):

Mike Tyson: "Well, in '93, I was in prison, so there wouldn’t have been a fight, but there is no way I would have won,” said Tyson. “I had no idea what was going on with that type of fighting and would’ve been taken by surprise. I would have had to train in that particular art of fighting before that happened. That’s a particular art. You’re not going to go in there with just your hand and not have a great ground game. You also need a great wrestling game to be successful, and you won’t be exciting, as well. You have to have both games. You have to know how to wrestle and box. That’s just the truth."

Same here.

Tyson was slow on reflexes. He took punches, that he should have let slip by him. But, he had the punches that could take down an opponent. Rocky Marciano was a great fighter, and undefeated, but man he took some beatings, standing in front of his opponents, fighting toe to toe, and taking every punch his opponents threw at him.

Then consider someone such as Jack Johnson. He was big, strong, had great punching strength, and speed, but he could slip a punch. Fighting him was like fighting a ghost. He was damn hard to hit. He had superior reflexes. Even long after he retired, he'd travel around, and always stop at local gyms, to see what the new talent was doing. He'd take off his jacket, and get into the ring with young guys less than half his age. He'd say "hit me boy." And, they couldn't lay a hand on him. They'd fall all over the ring, and get exhausted, trying to hit him. That's what I call a great boxer. And, I have no doubt that he could have destroyed any MMA guy, who dared to get into the ring with him.

As for wresting skill, does McGregor have any? He seems to box more than anything.

McGregor getting schooled in sparring by Van Heerden (who was told to take it easy on him. He's in the white)



Sparred Errol Spence recently in LA and had to be cut short apparently. Spence said politely in an interview afterwards that McGregor would struggle against lower tier fighters and green amateurs let alone one of the modern greats.

Needs to stick to the octagon but he's looking for a life changing sum of money. He knows he'll get embarrassed but is probably willing to for silly money. As much money if not more in one night than he'd make in his entire UFC career.
Floyd probably doesn't have the power in his hands to knock him out (hasn't had a stoppage since 07 against Hatton I think) but he'd get a stoppage after toying with him up until the mid rounds IMO. Easy nights work

But McGregor ain't going to be the one to do it.
Mayweather is the best defensive boxer ever. Ever.  Guys that spend their entire lives boxing haven't been able to hit him.
There's no way that someone like McGregor, who isn't even a good boxer by MMA standards is going to be able to hit Mayweather.
Mayweather will make a fool of him in a boxing ring. It's doubtful that Mayweather would knock him out, he's a pillow fighter and can't even knock out the women he beats up, but he will rat-a-tat-tat McGregor anytime he wants to all fight long and avoid everything McGregor attempts to throw at hiim.
And yes, I do hope it happens on the very rare chance that somehow McGregor can slip one by Floyd and plant his ass firmly on the canvas.

The only fair way to do it is for them have a boxing match and a MMA fight. In the boxing match Conor will get beat bad. It will be ugly.  In an MMA match Mayweather would be beat inside of one minute. Couple of kicks to the legs then he would be submitted.

One thing I really believe. It would be the biggest money maker of all time.

Shutting up more of his haters and making a cool 100mil doing it.
Not sure if it would count toward 50-0 but if it does it would mean he breaks Marciano's record.
I see it more of an expedition rather than a proper boxing match, so maybe he uses it to tune up for his real retirement fight to beat Marciano's record and retire 50-0

He's talked shit about Andre Ward just now too, about GGG, anyone who's a threat to his legacy he will belittle them underhandedly. Or blatantly in GGG's case.
Golovkin offered to fight him at catch weight before he retired and he didn't respond. Says GGG needs to move up not down. If he does I'm sure he'll find another reason to belittle him, will probably say GGG needs to go through 5 weight classes to be comparable to himself. "Go beat Joshua at heavyweight!"

Mayweather-McGregor fight close to being finalized?
.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. at the Carl Frampton-Leo Santa Cruz fight on Jan. 28. (AP)
The fight that makes sense for only one reason – money – appears to be moving ever closer, according to online reports.

A boxing match between the retired Floyd Mayweather, one of the greatest boxers in history, and UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor, who has zero amateur or pro boxing matches on his record, is on the verge of being finalized, the reports say.

The Irish Sun quoted an anonymous source it described as close to McGregor’s Straight Blast Gym saying that the deal is complete. It had quotes from McGregor, but the McGregor comments did not acknowledge the Mayweather bout.

“The contract hasn’t officially been signed yet because of a third-party holdup, but all the details have all been agreed on,” the Sun quoted its source. “The fight could even be announced within two weeks.”

Given the anonymous nature of the quotes and a lack of confirmation from McGregor, who told the site he’s flying to Las Vegas to clear up his issues with the Nevada Athletic Commission stemming from a water bottle-tossing incident with Nate Diaz at a news conference in August prior to UFC 202, the fight doesn’t appear to be a sure thing just yet.

An ESPN report doesn’t say the fight is done, but it does directly quote Mayweather. He attended the Golden State Warriors-Oklahoma City Thunder game on Saturday, and told ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith that “we’re getting very, very close” to a bout.

It’s always wise to be skeptical, particularly when anonymous sources are concerned. There were literally dozens of reports that the Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight was complete in late 2014 yet it wasn’t confirmed until early 2015.

Neither UFC president Dana White nor Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe responded to messages left by Yahoo Sports.

Given the amount of money the fight would generate, it has to be considered at least possible that it gets made, even though McGregor has never boxed and Mayweather has never fought in MMA.

Just a straight boxing match it's one of the most one sided bouts in history. Utterly ridiculous to think that Mcgregor could even land a glove on Mayweather. Unless they come up with some variation to the rules I won't be watching this farce, if they make it.

Bingo!

Plus , if they fought MMA rules, Floyd would be hurt in a hurry.

Two different sports here, silly to try and compete in the same ring.

He's talked shit about Andre Ward just now too, about GGG, anyone who's a threat to his legacy he will belittle them underhandedly. Or blatantly in GGG's case.
Golovkin offered to fight him at catch weight before he retired and he didn't respond. Says GGG needs to move up not down. If he does I'm sure he'll find another reason to belittle him, will probably say GGG needs to go through 5 weight classes to be comparable to himself. "Go beat Joshua at heavyweight!"

you can be damn sure that my man Julian Jackson would have knocked gayweather the fuck out if he would have came up in Julians time  8)

Most of you guys here are forgetting or don't know that Mayweather is 39 years old + his last fight was almost a year and a half ago + McGregor is a very good boxer with hands of stone + is friends with Mike Tyson and is being trained by him + McGregor is in/near his prime at 28yoa and on fire + destroyed Eddie Alvarez with PUNCHES 3 months ago + the pressure is all on Mayweather to win in his sport and remain undefeated......

That's just 1 purple mans opinion. Again, McGregor can box. You guys are acting like he's never thrown a punch in his life. He has twice the punching power of Mayweather.

We'll see - then poof to.

theres a video of McGregor in with a half decent pro, McGregor cant get near him.
Now, how is he going to cope with arguably the best defensive fighter of all time?

Even if this was a real fight (it's not) why are people arguing the science of the game? Mayweather is a student of the game and knows Conor has knockout power. When Mayweather fought Canelo, he knew the same thing. So he played points. Stick and move. Don't get caught in a position where you will eat a power punch.

Save your money fellas. This will be Mayweather Pacquiao all over again.

Like most are saying. In a MMA fight Mayweather would not last one round. In a boxing match McGregor is going to be chasing Mayweather the whole night in a ultra boring fight.  Mayweather will win every round doing his signature punches in bunches then running.

And lol at Mayweather's other nickname being "Pretty Boy". Oh boy ::)
And tommy... Why the hell are you so convinced that the fight will "NEVER happen"? You remind me of Be There - how he's convinced that 92% of the posters here are Uncle Junior.
Why the fuck wouldn't the fight happen? Both fighters will get millions, everyone would watch it, McGregor is hungry to kick his ass and make a bigger name for himself and win another title...
Only reason it won't happen I guess is if FM chickens out.

If Floyd and Connor do box, Floyd could wear cement shoes and 20 ounce gloves and Connor could fight bare knuckled or wear brass knuckles.  The fight will still only last as
long as Floyd wants it to.  Floyd can either carry him for 12 rounds and dole out a humiliating ass whipping or knock him cold in under a minute.  Floyd's choice really.  This will
be the biggest sham since Muhammad Ali fought Antonio Inoki. 

Floyd has pretty much ruined boxing over the past decade and if UFC fans don't want to see their sport follow suit, avoid this fight at all costs.  Please, NOBODY buy this garbage.

This fight is just a payday for both of them. For Connor more money then he has ever seen. A very easy one for Mayweather. Connor was a boxer and knows exactly how things would go. He spars against boxers in training. He knows exactly where he would stand. If he could knock out Mayweather or even be competitive he would have made the mega bucks as a boxer and not bothered with MMA.

1) Its very unlikely Mayweather will accept the fight
2) If he does they will fight in a boxing setting which means MC Gregor has close to zero chance to win, just like Mayweather would get destroyed in few seconds in a MMA setup
3) Fight is going to be super overhyped like May vs Pac and the result will be the same : Mayweather winning a boring ass 12 round desision jabbing and running away

Mayweather could knock out Mcgreggor easily. Yes, Mayweather usually wins on points but he also usually fights other high skilled boxers that have the potential to knock him out if he isn't careful. With McGreggor he knows he could toy with him. It wouldn't be a one punch knockout but he could unleash a barrage of combinations that would just overwhelm him.

If it was MMA McGregor would probably win. But I think Floyd would stand a better chance against Mcgregor in MMA than McGregor stands against Floyd in Boxing.

the video is biased only showing and repeating mcgregors mistakes.

floyd will win by points in boxing and mcgregor will murder him in mma. the whole fight is stupid but people want to see that sht.

Not even close, Mayweather will embarrass him.

In boxing, there's very little doubt that Mayweather would win, minus a fluke shot placed by McGregor.

Amazing to see how many MMA fans think Conor will win with ease. It Conor wins, it will be a fluke shot - but Conor won't outbox Mayweather.

If you reverse the scenario, Floyd would lose in MMA.

This fight might be made for the money and spectacle, but the odds of it being competitive are very low.
