It's more of a sport than running 100 metres in a straight line.

Maybe it's smug, I'm not sure what he was thinking when he wrote it, but that doesn't make him wrong does it?
So you agree then, the people watching this won't know about boxing or MMA?
Really? Well, you can learn something new from NSC every day.
You have to sort out the wheat from the chaff very carefully though.
I suggest the buffoons are the ones who paid, not the inarticulate men who are making millions.
I imagine he'll be frustrated and wave his arms about because Mayweather isn't standing toe to toe, and then McGregor will make beckoning motions and point and a spot on the floor asking Mayweather to stand and slug it out. And Mayweather won't.
So you don't watch MMA then.
Indeed.
Now that I might pay to see! That would be more one sided than this boxing farce.

Not sure about the assumption that people watching this won't know about boxing or MMA. Some people, who are not interested in either may be drawn to this 'show' because of the insane hype, but there will be a lot of boxing and MMA fans watching this with huge interest. I am a boxing fan, not so much MMA, and I think it is an unnecessary freak show that has only one winner, Colin's bank balance. I won't be paying to watch it, but hope deep down that Floyd dismantles McGregor slowly and painfully for the cheek of actually thinking he is fit to lace up Floyd's gloves. This whole debacle does for boxing what Ratner did for jewellery shops.

As long as it's better than this fight, then I'll be watching:

I have enjoyed the build up. McGregor is very funny.

Mayweather has really showed his lack of brains during this build up. He really doesn't help himself when he starts shouting "yyyyyyyyeeeeeeaaaahhhhhhh" x10. It's pretty obvious he's repeating himself constantly because he's unable of what to say next. He resorted to getting his watch out and telling everyone how much it costs (Argos £89).
I would absolutely love it if McGregor managed to knock Mayweather out, but sadly, Conor McGregor beating Mayweather is as likely as Leicester winning the Prem....
Is it fair to call those people stupid? Watching because you can afford it and think it's funny, like WWE, fair enough, but watching with interest?
Agreed.
Firstly, Floyd isn't capable of dishing out the kind of pain Conor is used to in MMA - secondly, Conor wouldn't mind anyway, he's hardly going to regret the fight given the money. And thirdly, I don't agree about him not being fit to lace Floyd's gloves. Floyd in a clever fight dodger (he wouldn't fight Manny in his prime) who has referees that protect his style, while Conor will fight anyone, and is very capable in his own sport.

In his own sport, yes, very capable, and to be fair it would be a closer/different prospect if Floyd was to fight MMA rules. McGregor's MMA skills count for little in a boxing ring if he can't use them. Resilience to pain/punishment in the boxing ring just makes you a punch bag, (see Eubanks Jn last night). McGregor just does not have the hand skill and finely honed ring craft that he will need against one of the best boxers in the world. IMHO, unless Floyd dispatches him in the first couple of rounds it will be a case of MaGregor grabbing on dear for life and hoping for a lucky big one.

I bet the fight will be called off due to ring interference from Hulk Hogan.

If it was an MMA fight it wouldn't last more than a minute. Also there is no danger of Mayweather knocking him out either.

I'm going for McGregor to lose on a disqualification - he'll be so hyped up and then so frustrated that at some stage the MMA reflex will emerge.

If McGregor does anything other than box within the rules, he's financially ruined for life.

There must be something in his contract that says if he does anything other than box he loses his purse.

Dana said that it's very clear in the contract that if CM does anything other than box, there are huge financial ramifications.
Then you've got the potential lawsuits where FM will claim damages that amount to hundreds of millions of losses which he could have earned from future fights.
It's literally career ending if CM does anything outside of the rules.

Really? 49 fights with 26 KO's at top pro level?

Mayweathers hands would break before he could do that kind of damage.
1 KO in the last 18 years.
4 KO's in his career.

Wasn't the KO against someone who had dropped their hands also?
