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?

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.

There's probably contracts and licenses to consider for them too.

Just an example, dunno if this is how it strictly works: If all UFC PPV's are carried for free on BT Sport as part of the contract, if it's a UFC PPV, they'd probably have to let people watch it for free but if you let showtime run it, you can probably sell it without having to deal with poo poo like that.

More, I think. Manny's a bit smaller and can get hit coming in. I think Floyd rests on a realm above that.

True, but Manny can pop though so while the skill level would be marginally easier for Conor, the risk of getting starched is significantly higher too

if Conor doesn't TKO/KO Mayweather by Round 3, he loses. I'm completely uncultured to boxing but I've seen Mayweather fights and that dude just floats. Conor can't touch that.

He's a defensive puzzle that some of the greatest boxers of their generation, such as Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya couldn't solve. It's entirely possible some of the people Money has fought hit harder than Conor too. There's really not much of a chance here barring Money's skills suddenly dropping off a cliff.

Kills the greatest featherweight of all time in 13 seconds: "Garbage"
Knocks the gently caress out of the Lightweight champion while barely being touched: "LOL this guy can't even throw a punch"

I dunno if that's a fair statement. Nate Diaz is a very good MMA striker and unorthodox as hell, he's not really been boxed up besides that.


Basically, the bar for good defence by MMA standards is extremely low.

i kind of like the bit where he says "he says negative things like i can't read or count but he doesn't mention the positives" without denying that.

also stay tuned to the end to see floyd totally not give a gently caress at helwani's stupid question

Paulie going into great detail on his experience in the McGregor camp.

I read the recap instead of watching it but it says Conor was whooping me but then I whooped him and then he came on strong and whooped me again so there's like no chance that Paulie is actually telling the truth about that being a push because he can't even make himself come across well while being salt mountain about Conor

I think that it's quite impressive that in a boxing match between one of the greatest to ever take part in the sport and a dude who has never had a boxing match, Paulie Malignaggi is the most owned person of all despite not being really related to this situation with a simply Rockhold-esque performance before the fight even happened.

I'm not reading fifty-one pages.

Does anyone actually, genuinely believe Conor will win a decision or that Mayweather will actually knock someone out?

My personal guess is Conor can only take it in the first four. But I've lost four hundo to date betting against Conor so...yeah let's hope that happens. .

We all saw the video an Indian tv station leaked last week. Conor knocks Floyd out in the fourth with a one-inch punch
