Mayweather v McGregor

[martin tyler]

So they finally agree the deal for a reported (£78.4 potentially) million each.
Anyone think this is a complete mismatch or does McGregor actually have any hope here?

Surely Mayweather will totally outclass him. Far too quick. Although if it was an MMA fight you have to go for Mcgregor surely?

It's a obviously just a money maker so can't really take it too seriously. Will be a good watch though, and hopefully it'll go more than one round

Its a bloody farce to show people who no nothing about the craft of boxing, that it can't be learned overnight and takes years of hard specific work!

Do you actually watch MMA? If it was MMA, it would be like a cat vs a mouse.

A total farce & I won't be paying to watch

They both get paid a shit ton of money for a one round fight when the one expert in their field gets the first blow...

Game over, viewers mugged off....

Great business by both athletes.

I'll watch as it's an interesting comparison between the two sports.

But it's most likely going to be a 12 rounder with Mayweather winning on points and McGregor not giving two shits as he's now set up for life and never has to fight again.

After this, they should do Ronnie O'Sullivan vs Usain Bolt.

Playing monopoly

In a 100m sprint.

Never rule out Ronnie's speed around the table.

Mayweather vs McGregor Circus or Classic Sporting Contest?

Looks set for August, jury still out for me, will no doubt generate big money but is it really a credible contest?

The press conferences and build up will be more interesting than the fight.

 

[durrington gull]

No, Mayweather should win very comfortably - very tempting to bet on Floyd to win by KO in 1st or 2nd rd

What? How? They're boxing, so it doesn't look at MMA at all. You've got an undefeated boxer against a man who isn't a boxer.

Complete farce.

There's no way if Mayweather takes it seriously that McGregor will go the distance with him.

Load of bollocks if you ask me.

They'll play the game. There'll be a build up documentary to end all build up documentaries. They'll be hundreds of press conferences, there'll be threats, there'll be controversy. These two know how to make money.

The fight will be awful. Mayweather has proved himself time and time against the best BOXING has to offer. MMA is a different kettle of fish entirely.

As an aside has anyone else read Ronnie's running biography? Didn't appreciate he was of such a good standard and it was interesting to read how he runs to help manage his mental health issues.

Anyway the above is as good a analogy as any. Insulting to the sport of boxing to even think McGregor has a chance here. Just a question of when Mayweather feels like finishing the job...

Indeed.

You'd have to fancy McGregor in the (MMA) rematch, though
