Isn't "being for real" or "serious" the same thing?

It's the latest internet meme. Well, it's already about a week old. But it all started from this video when "birdman" was stuttering awkwardly "are ya'll finished or ar ya'll done" to the breakfest club radio crew.



he already made a song about it too, milking some dollars from the meme.

They're not going to fight, they're going to box. If they fought, they'd fight with Ultimate Fighting Championship rules. And in that case, Floyd would get choked out in less than 30 seconds.

Oh, brother  ::)

Here's a tip for you. UFC doesn't allow "real fighting", either. There are numerous rules and guidelines.

Another tip. In a "real fight", as they most often occur, the more skilled striker has a far greater advantage than some MMA hobo.

That, plus I think we can all agree that holly holm is nowhere near the boxing machine as floyd mayweather is, right? Holly Holm was able to defend against rondas hip throw with ease even tho ronda is supposed to be a "judo wizard"  ::) and holly outboxed ronda 100 - 0 because she timed everything perfectly with footwork. I don't think conors mma skills will have much effect against mayweathers foot work and boxing.

No he didn't...his fight with Nate Diaz only gave him 1 million. He's never gotten 10 million purse for an UFC fight or even close.  In March he made history even getting 1 million


Conor would automatically get  A REAL 10 million purse for a Floyd fight but its still peanuts compared to the PPV revenue that he would have access to unlike the UFC where that POS Dana keeps all the money.

The 1 million was his guaranteed purse not including his ppvmoney, he made $10 million with the ppv for UFC 196.

doesn't anyone think connor and Floyd are planning to take on the UFC?  connor is sick of them, thinks he was done wrong, and Floyd is a promotor with 100's of millions.  perfect timing as a lot of fighters are feeling abused and underpaid by UFC.

some lawyers-members at Sherdog Forums are claiming that Conor could fight Floyd without being sued by the UFC..

Conor & Floyd are all about the money.... I think that they will both be very happy when the fight is over, and they receive their checks

i doubt it hazbin the fertittas are billionaires floyd and conor are millionaires.  plus the fertittas have friends and influence in vegas

also these people on sherdog who claim they are lawyers more than likely are not. if connor trys o fight  floyd without the ufcs permission

they will sue that low life for everything he has.

since conor isn't US citizen I think suing him won't be that easy.. They could still fight outside U.S soil, Rampage fought at UFC while being under contract by Bellator just recently.. Fertittas are billionaires alright but it's doesn't give them right to do anything

Thanks Captain Obvious!

MMA is much closer to an actual fight. No giant pillows in hands like in boxing, and no referee separating you if you get too close to each other. Boxing is as limited as it gets. All you can do is punch with pillows. Who watches that crap anymore anyways. A great example how some old farts just can't change their habits.

In a "real fight", as they most often occur, the more skilled striker has a far greater advantage than some MMA hobo.

Yeah right.  ::) One low kick is all it takes and the "skilled striker" will be on the ground screaming in pain wondering what just fucked up his leg. 5 seconds after that he'll be strangled unconscious.

Mayweather will beat the hell out of him in the ring.  Conor McGregor won't be allowed to kick either. This will be a lop sided fight.  Mayweather will play with him and when he decides too he will drop him.  

Now if it's MMA fight Mayweather will be taken out quickly by McGregor. Mayweather has zero take down defense and no knowledge of grappling. Even though McGregor isn't a ground guy he knows enough to make someone like Mayweather pass out from a choke.

It would be a beyond a huge money maker as a boxing match.  I would guess the fight won't be made unless McGregor can prove himself in the ring prior.  I can't see him hanging with the top ten in his weight division.

accurate posting!

Yes. An aggressive and first strike, or combo, from a skilled striker will usually determine an outcome.

Go to a boxing club and get a welter weight never mind a heavyweight to hit you with these pillows. Once you come out of hospital come back on here and tell us how it felt.

I like your posts, Fortress, but I don't think you realize the effectiveness of jiu jitsu, I mean it was designed for this type of stuff.

all you got to do is watch toney vs couture


toney was a very skilled boxer,

ive been watching mma since the 80's    no way a boxer can beat a mma fighter, without a few years of mma training.


that being said i do think boxers   can take better shots than mma fighters and have better defence against strikes.   

holly holm has been training mma for around 4 years i think she also did kickboxing, so saying she went straight  from boxing to becoming a mma

champion  is not accurate
