Fight Night Live: Mayweather vs McGregor
- Thread starter GAMETHEORY
- Start date
The reason he wouldn't fight Keith Thurman or any of those young lions who BOX is because... He's 40 and they would kill him. I think he was very smart to get a fight like this with so much of a narrative and back story from a lesser skilled, game competitor. It was fun to watch him show his skills.
Lol yup. And Conor did his part. He SOLD that shit.
Floyd would beat the shit out of Keith Thurman. He's picking PRIZE fights to make the most money. Thurman has nothing to offer.

one....what fight was the ref watchin'...all them illegal blows to the back of the head....ref kept warnin' floyd...didn't say shit about all the rabbit punches...
two...this was white privilege at its finest....a white boy makin' his boxing debut...jumps to the front of the line....and gets a title shot...when everyone else has to work their way up to get it...
three...sad that a 40-year old man...who's been out of boxing for 2 years..has more endurance than a fighter supposedly in his prime....
four...where was all this one punch knockout power...everyone was talkin' about....he caught floyld a couple times...and couldn't even get his knees to buckle....then floyd started walkin' him down...
five...ref shoulda let mcgregor get knocked out...he campaigned for that ass whoopin' for over a year...don't deny him....let him get that work....

Less-than-capacity crowd still paid dividends for Mayweather-McGregor gate

The T-Mobile Arena attendance Saturday for the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Conor McGregor fight was 14,623, about 6,000 shy of the capacity crowd for the Canelo Alvarez-Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. bout in May.
“You’re not going to always get it right,” Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe told the Los Angeles Times Saturday night after the bout.
“It’s all about delivery. The fans who were here enjoyed themselves.”
Mayweather’s powerful manager, Al Haymon, set prices for UFC champion McGregor’s pro-boxing debut that matched Mayweather’s 2015 victory over seven-division champion Manny Pacquiao — $10,000 for floor seats, and nothing in the lower bowl for less than $3,500.
One section appeared mostly empty in the building, and the massive number of Irish seen on the Strip were noticeably not represented the arena.
Yet, the prices did accomplish the intended goal.
Mayweather said after the bout that the money generated from the bout set a new live-gate record fro combat sports of nearly $80 million.

Agreed!... Floyd & Connor McGregor got us...
Shit. I remember the Randy Couture vs James Toney fight. At least this Mayweather vs Mcgreggor shit was somewhat entertaining. Sending a boxer into MMA is just suicidal. How soon boxing purists forget about this shit here:
Can't believe they got all that bread for this shit. Good for both of them for pulling it off. Get that money.
I'm a MMA fan at heart, and can only laugh at some boxing purist reacting to this fight like they did.
