Mayweather vs. McGregor: It's On!

[Magnificent Seven]

Former pound-for-pound king and five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. made the official announcement on social media Wednesday, confirming that he will exit a 23-month retirement at age 40 to face Conor McGregor, the UFC superstar, in a boxing match on Aug. 26 in Las Vegas.

Whoa! It's On!!!!!

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Go Irish

I'm kind of concerned if he's even competitive with Mayweather he'll never go back to MMA. He could just line up another big money bout with Cannello

[turftoad]

Boxing rules!! McGregor doesn't have a chance.

I grew up watching boxing, but now I've switched to mma. I find it to be far superior.

McGregor would beat Mayweather's ass in a real fight.

I would love to see my kinsman tapdance on that douche Mayweathers head.

But this is boxing......and that's money Mayweather.

Go Irish, but my $$$ is on Floyd.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Mixed feelings? Tell us about it.

I already touched on it a little bit. I'm hopeful McGregor doesn't quit mma.

I also don't know who I like less (probably Mayweather).

Either way I'll pay for the fight and hopefully there's some decent fights on the undercard too.

Oh wait! I agree. In a real fight he would kick Mayweathers ass.

The point I was trying to make is they are using boxing rules, not MMA rules. Therefore I believe Mayweather will win but I like watching MMA better also.

[ShaneFalco]

mayweather wouldnt last a minute under mma rules.

He should win going away, but I think McGregor has a puncher's chance

Chaos.

[DenBronx]

I want McGreggor to win but I just can't see it under boxing rules. It's too limited and all Floyd is going to do is run.

Now, IF McGreggor DOES win I don't see him ever returning to MMA which is a shame. He is box office for the UFC and it would get boring without him. If he wins he will just line up another 50 mill rematch or fight some other boxing chump.

He has really played the game perfect and is setting up his financial future. And I don't blame him at all for doing that, he deserves it.

[Magnificent Seven]

Boxing Champion vs. UFC Champion. Whoever wins this match will be the undisputed champion. Who will have the edge this August? I would say 50%-50%.

Pros for them: It will be a home game for Mayweather and he has a lot of experiences in boxing. He knows his stuff. McGregor is 28-year old younger than Mayweather is. McGregor's mind games and mental toughness may have given the Fighting Irishman the edge.

Cons for them: Mayweather is 40 year-old. He has come out of retirement to fight UFC light heavyweight Champion and he could get physically outmatched by Conor McGregor. However, McGregor has to fight under boxing rules. Conor is a bit too willing to get hit; his defensive skills need to work on. Every time he gets hit, his granite chin gets chipped away at, bit-by-bit. McGregor can be disqualified if he shows poor sportsmanship.

Bottom Line: It will be 50%-50% and It will be an interesting match for everyone.

[ShaneFalco]

i see connor walking through any jabs mayweather wants to throw, completely unphased.

[Poet]

Connor is going to get his ass beat. MMA guys throw punchers and boxers box. The greatest striker in MMA history is drastically worse than an average UFC striker.

[Buff]

McGregor a 5:1 dog on the early lines I'm seeing.

The problem with Mayweather fights is that they're all so anticlimactic. He just jives around and stays cleaner than the other guy and wins by decision. I imagine he'll win this one based on being better technically. I suspect it won't be the street fight we're hoping for.

[Valar Morghulis]

The ability to work inside in a brawl toe fight is Floyd's most unrated attribute.

I think McGregor tries to pressure him and end up getting roughed up inside... Maybe even knocked out

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Possibly

What McGregor has in his favor are: great power in both hands, 74 inch reach, southpaw stance.

However, if Mayweather was able to avoid Canello's and De La Hoya's power he'll probably be able to do the same with McGregor.


I am really curious to see how he does because he's probably the best boxer in the UFC.

[BroncoJoe]

It's going to be a really interesting fight. I just might have to buy it, which I don't normally do.

I think I get a discount... :D

[ShaneFalco]

i hope mcgregor throws a roundhouse kick and knocks flloyd out at the end of the 9th round.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

I kinda gave up on Boxing after Tyson's heyday and this only interests me because of McGregor. I think McGregor would mop the floor with Mayweather in a street fight, but I don't like his chances in the boxing ring. I mean, I know jack shit about fighting on that level but it seems like the tactics and balance you need for MMA are completely different to boxing and I think that puts McGregor at a disadvantage. I do want to see the fight though, so I guess that is the point.

Speaking of fighting styles clashing and the UFC, does anyone remember it when it was called The Ultimate Fighting Championship when it first started? I remember watching the first one with my dad and it was like Karate guy vs grappler, boxer vs Sumo wrestler, and other stuff like that. It was like a real life fighting video game like Street Fighter. It was quickly proven that once you are out of your discipline the fights lasted about 2 seconds which is why it's all MMA now. I remember the sumo guy got his tooth kicked out by a kickboxer or something like that.

They need to start doing stuff like this in real life:

I would say so. I've seen a few McGregor fights just now on Youtube and you can tell he has boxed but it seems he does it in a way to stun or keep his opponent at arms length then shatter his kneecap and get him to the ground as quickly as possible. Given the choice I'd rather box Mayweather then fight McGregor. :lol:

Eh, I don't particularly like McGregor, but you have to remember he's an MMA superstar and that's what they do. Talk shit. I'd be more disappointed if he was acting all humble.

I'm debating ordering this fight. Haven't decided if I want to spend the money or not, but I kind of want to watch it just to see what happens.

[chazoe60]

Mayweather is a much bigger douche bag than McGregor. Mayweather is a barely literate woman beater who made 9 figures last year but can't pay his taxes. Mayweather is one of the worst people in sports.

McGregor's act wears thin with me too but in terms of dpuchey-ness he's not in the same ballpark as Mayweather.

dont order it, I will tell you what happens. Mayweather strolls around the ring trying not to get touched while mcgregor chases him around throwing haymakers that wildly miss. This goes on for a few rounds and then the mma dude gets freaking tired because he hasn't fought longer than 9 minutes in his life and mayweather starts hitting him with shots from all over and puts him down.

McGregor is one of the best self promoters of our generation. I don't think he's the most talented guy in the UFC. I'm not sure he's even the best lightweight, but he's easily the most marketable guy on the roster.

I think he's overrated and a cheap imitation of charisma. He's going to get embarrassed by FMW and that horrible knockout he's going to get will shorten his career. And that horrible tape he puts out there will shorten it even more.

FMW looks like a little child. Running around with a backpack like some middle schooler.

Who is going to run from a UFC fighter. Instead of fighting him or trying to knock him out.

FMW is the biggest coward you can find on the planet. Beating women, running in matches.

He's a boxer, it's a more technical sport. If you can't get past your opponent's defenses your TKO skills don't matter.

Irish is going to get exposed for being a guy who wouldn't even be an average boxer.

[ShaneFalco]

dont give me that bullshit. Alot of money? He owes 20mil to the IRS.....

Tyson was a boxer. He looked to finish.

If Flloyd looks to RUN from a person who has never even boxed before, then the guy is the biggest coward i have ever seen.

Tyson was also a guy who threw his career away and ended it in shame. Ali is supposed to be the greatest ever, and he didn't blindly rush in there.

You're already giving yourself outs - you know McGregor is going to get worked over so you're preemptively calling him a coward. And he is, but not for being arguably the greatest ever, but for beating women.

He's the one who ran his mouth and talked about how he could beat FMW. He said it. The guy clearly cares about money above all else, and he's sacrificing his well-being for a huge paycheck. CM would have to fight damn near 6 fights to earn this much money. I dont' have an issue with it, but if you're boxing, you're boxing.

I think you're just emotionally hedging your bets.

What big names did FMW not fight? The biggest purse McGregor ever got in the UFC isn't half of the normal one FMW got. You get that, right? No one's putting Connor McGregor up in the conversation as the GOAT, but FMW is arguably the best ever. You do know that, right?

[ShaneFalco]

FMW is not the best ever.

And to say that, to even bring him into the conversation of GOAT, brings shame to the sport.

His last two fights.

Some scrub named Berto, and Pacquio, fighting with a broken rotator cuff and one arm.

[ShaneFalco]

And again you are comparing apples to oranges.

Boxing barely has any structure. Its promoters fighting for their fighter to have the best matchup, regardless of what the fans want.

Compared the UFC, with an organizational head, matching up the best matchup, based on what the fans want.

This is why we get FMW against some scrub like Berto, or have to wait years for a Pac fight, and by then, the dude is so old, he is getting hurt in training up to the fight.

Its not even close.

He's 40 and still considered to be the best boxer in the world. ANd he has enough of a career for McGregor to get his biggest payday in the fight. Make no mistake, McGregor needed the match.

He's going to hit McGregor a lot. McGregor won't hit him much, if at all.

[chazoe60]

Mayweather is boring, boxing is dying and one of the death blows was delivered by UFC. Boxing was killing itself with it's fractured structure ( is there still like three different governing bodies?) and it's rampant corruption.

UFC is a much more entertaining sport and I would have loved to see this fight be in an octagon instead of a boxing ring, would be awesome to see Mayweather get pummeled by McGregor on his terms. As it is I think Mayweather will win an extremely boring fight in which he ducks, covers and runs most of the night. It won't change the fact that he's a terrible human being.

[Poet]

Never knew you guys hated strategy. Mayweather's defense is too good ='s "Randy Johnson threw the ball too fast,' and/or "Maddux painted the corners too much."

When you can still beat the best in the world your career isn't over.

Mayweather spent the last 5 years dodging GGG because he knew Golovkin would beat his ass. The excuse was Golovkin was too big. However he fought Canelo and Canelo is bigger than Golovkin.

He called him out, Al. FMW is the only fighter with a truly flawless career. He's the greatest ever, unfortunately.

Who called who? I'm not sure who you're referring to.

Having an unbeaten record does not make you a goat, especially knowing full well there was a fighter in his generation he couldn't beat (Golovkin). He's an all time great, but there are other fighters who were more dominant, such as Roy Jones Jr.

Jones Jr. lost too much. Ali lost to a cat from Jacksonville Illinois, Al.

GGG got called out by FMW.

The only guy who has an argument is Sugar Ray Robinson. That's just my opinion, and I don't think it's fact, but the arguments I have read suggest that FMW is the GOAT. I know you're a student of the game, and I apologize for getting lippy with you. Forgive me. I'll leave now.

Jones didn't lose until he was well past his prime. He was unbeatable in his prime.

FMW liked to call out people and then put up hurdles in the negotiation so the fight never happens. He did it Manny P until Manny P slowed down .

And the last time Mayweathers uncle was asked about Golovkin his response was, "we're not fighting a giant" Mayweather talks in public but behind closed doors he wants nothing to do with Golovkin. He wouldn't be able to run from him. Golovkin's jab is too good

Manny P was a known cheater, though. Manny P, if he wasn't a cheater, wouldn't have objected to the testing. That's FMW being smart -- how many guys want their fights back from Holyfield's cheating ass?

[Poet]

Also note that FMW is being asked to fight the giant at this stage in his career - the logic that Jones Jr. only lost when he was old holds serve in this venture as well.

But now I'm just arguing to argue. Because, like I said, FMW's career isn't over - he's still fighting.

McGregor has already been knocked out in sparring, this clown doesn't have a chance. I hate Mayweather but that mcgregor is a ******* fool, if he was a nobody you guys would hate this douchebag.

This isn't true, according to the following:

Oh, and WTF happened over the last three or four pages? Get a room already King and Shane.

[Jsteve01]

Connor is going to get his ass beat. MMA guys throw punchers and boxers box. The greatest striker in MMA history is drastically worse than an average UFC striker.

I just can't believe how many people have convinced themselves that somehow McGregor wins this fight. I'm a huge huge MMA fan. Grew up in the martial arts my brother who trains in the zingano gym in Broomfield has had Cat zingano Corner him in Muay Thai fights. I love Thai kickboxing and MMA. But you have to be freaking nuts to think that the guy that made Canelo look like an amateur is somehow going to get caught by a shot from McGregor. Ain't happening no way no how. The only reason in the world that it would happen is if Floyd throws the fight in hopes for a second payday. There is no other way that McGregor wins that fight.

[Jsteve01]

He's an all time great, but there are other fighters who were more dominant, such as Roy Jones Jr. the problem with Jones was not that he was the best boxer of his generation. It was that he was so much better than everybody else that he was fighting that he he got bored. Remember at the end he would go play a semi-pro basketball game and have a fight the same weekend. Pound-for-pound the most exciting fighter I've ever watched. You can forget about the heavyweights he was fast he was athletic he had all the power in the world I remember the first time I saw Jones fight it was against James Toney and he destroyed Tony who was supposed to be one of the best fighters in the game at that point.

McGregor has fought one really good fighter in his entire career in MMA. One. That was Aldo who was coming off injury and hadn't fought in over a year. He beat Mendez who came in and took the fight on like what two weeks notice. And he's got nobody else on his resume. If somebody says Nate Diaz I'm going to laugh my ass off

Yeah, I remember. He played one half of a CBA game as a point guard and had a title fight the same day. He probably spent more energy in the basketball game because his title fight was over inside of 3 rounds .

I agree with what you've said about McGregor. I essentially said the same thing; if Canelo and Manny P. couldn't catch him then the chances of McGregor doing it are slim to none

[Poet]

I saw the beating he gave James Toney. Toney's defense used to enrage his opponents, and he had some fairly serious power, too. But if you're so good you get bored and get punished for it, that's a major flaw.

I would almost compare this to the Terrell Davis or Gale Sayers conversation. For a five-year. He was hands down the best fighter I've ever seen. Did he have the greatest career of anyone? Obviously not although I think one of the things that's forgotten is even the greats Like Sugar Ray Robinson took a bunch of losses at the end of their careers. This trend towards bowing out gracefully is a rather new thing to the boxing game. The older guys would fight and fight and fight until they were just drooling idiots

[Poet]

I respect your stance, sir. My response would be that he took a couple of those losses still being heralded as the man.

You're either the man or you're not. He didn't have a slow decline, either. Boxers can have longevity, especially if they care. I actually youtubed his latter fights, that man did not care.

But, you do know more about the sport than I do, so I'm going to say that I was looking to find what I 'wanted' and yield the argument to you.

The UFC guys seem to be getting hosed.

You might be looking at the average mma purse (which includes the lower level circuits like Legacy and Bellator, and not the average UFC purse. That article said the average UFC purse was $61k, while the average boxing purse was considerably lower than that.

Additionally, a UFC fighters $20k show purse means he gets $20k just for being there if the other guy has to be removed from the card; meaning if the fight is scratched he still gets his $$.

Their minimum fight purse is $40k plus a $5-10k endorsement purse from Reebok, win lose or draw.
