Floyd "Money" Mayweather vs. Conor "The Notorious One" McGregor - Time To Fight The Battle Of Who Could Care Less Current status: Mayweather's promotional company has booked Madison Square Garden for the 26th of August. I don't care enough about this to make a proper OP for it, I only care enough to get it out of the UFC thread. Here's a photoshop.

Sooo hyped. Can't wait to see "cold" Conor McGregor put the lights out on Floyd.

Fight facts 1. Floyd never knocks anyone out 2. Conor knocks almost everybody out 3. Floyd is a dumb name

And I thought that Guardian journalist who had his glasses broken by the Montanan rep had found the year's coolest, funniest, and most professionally lucrative way of getting punched in the face. Looks like The Secret is real.

No way it happens in MSG due to the tax situation/Floyd's history in Vegas. Mayweather Promotions also has a hold on August 26th at MGM Grand Garden Arena  Somehow doubt that's it too though, a fight this "big" has to be at T-Mobile arena.

So, like, is McGregor allowed to like takedown and punch the poo poo out of Floyd from a mount or whatever? I'm not a boxing or MMA guy but I would think taking a MMA guy and making him only box would be a serious disadvantage in most cases, and vice-versa for a boxer but moreso.

It's going to be boxing in a ring. Conor is very likely to get backed into a corner and knocked out.

Let us not forget that Conor was once handily outstruck by Nathan Diaz.

McGregor needs Floyd lightyears more than Floyd needs McGregor, so the fight could only possibly happen under Floyd's terms.

The biggest question to me is, if this happens, does Conor ever fight again

Conor's chief strategy will be to make as much money as possible. I mean, I suppose there's a chance Floyd might be struck by lightning 0.1 seconds into the first round and give Conor the TKO, but I don't think he's particularly concerned about winning the fight, just all the money it's would make him.

I know approximately gently caress all about legit punchsports but Conor doesn't REALLY think he has a chance, does he? Does anyone think that?

Casual fans do. Conor doesn't, but he'd probably still train boxing if the fight if the fight got made instead of just sitting on his rear end.

On the miracle chance he wins: "i'm the best fighter ever" +£50 million in the bank When he loses: "I'm a double weight world champion in MMA, I just fought the greatest boxer of all time and gave him a good fight, what's everyone else doing? I'm the best fighter ever" +£50 million in the bank Fight doesn't happen: "Floyd's scared. I'm the best fighter ever" there's no lose scenario for Conor here.

Those two things are of immense benefit to Conor. I'm asking about the benefit to the sport. Because PPV buys outside of him and Ronda are down and the title picture in half the divisions is either hosed or dire.

From the perspective of actual sport and competition there's absolutely none; when you think of it more as the combat sports equivalent of King Kong vs Godzilla, that's where the intrigue is. It doesn't matter that the fight doesn't make any goddamn sense, people are just jazzed by the idea of two megastars fighting. That said, all my not-that-into-boxing friends were certain Pacquiao would beat Mayweather so it's not like you can't absolutely get people to believe McGregor would magically kill him.

yeah putting aside for a second that Mayweather is a serial woman beater and unrepentant shithead, he's a world class defensive boxer and Conor isn't going to do poo poo to him. This will be more boring than the Pacquiao fight and anyone paying money for it is fooling themselves.
