$$ Mayweather vs McGregor

Dana White just announced an offer for 25m to both fighters with negotiations on the ppv revenue. Ish is getting real.

i dont think mayweather gets out of bed for less than $200 mil for something like this

Mayweather already said before they tried to get the fight done but Conor wanted way more than he deserves. Mayweather wanted 100million guarantee and Conor gets whatever he’s making now times two plus part of the PPV revenue.

Is this even real, or is it all talk? The level of UFC fighting, let alone boxing, is not the same as pro boxing. Mayweather would win easily. I’m sure McGregor knows this and he is just demanding hugely unrealistic numbers for the sake of his publicity.

If it’s a boxing match, I’m confused how people even think McGregor would have a chance as long as Mayweather even remotely tries.

lol at Dana white’s offer!

Mayweather’s response

So many people would love to see mcgregor crushed including me. Dude is way too arrogant.

Whats up with Mayweather - why didn’t he just say let’s do it … has he changed?

This is stupid. If it’s an MMA fight, McGreger would crush Mayweather. Boxing would be the other way around.

They both are arrogant AF.

7 Reasons Floyd Mayweather Jr. Is The A Side In Negotiations With Conor McGregor


pretty good article

that hublot watch mayweather has is so fugly btw … could buy a Ferrari for $250k and all he has is a fugly watch that says ‘Ferrari’ lol such a waste of money

Honestly, this feels like the UFC running its mouth as usual, and promoting Conor in the process.

The UFC has an interest in creating a “UFC vs Boxing beef”, even if 80 % of boxing fans around the world possibly don’t even know who Conor is.

I would be surprised if this fight ever happened.

This, i dont understand why anyone would even debate buying this fight. Either way its apples and oranges and someone gets destroyed quickly

Yes but it is more nuanced.

Mayweather could very possibly KO Conor in MMA if he somehow manages to avoid being taken down.

There is a possibility that Mayweather toys with Conor simply due to being of vastly superior speed and coordination.

In boxing though Conor has close to a 0 % chance of beating Conor.

TBE on another level. McGregor wins no matter what based on what he’s getting paid. I’d fight both of them at the same time for $1mm.

Mayweather looks slow as hell compared to his old self. Here’s some jump rope action from his young days https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B2Vrg1Y25c

Im torn who i want to win - i usually always root for the american but mcgreggor is representing mma as a whole and im tired of hearing old school boxing fans criticizing the sport.

I don’t think the mac should be dismissed that quickly. Yes, he will likely lose via decision or late stoppage. But he has a chance in the first 3 rounds or so via the element of surprise. He doesn’t really move like boxers, not the same rhythm. That in and of itself could initially pose challenges to TMT as he’s facing a guy who sort of fights outside of the “common rules” of boxing. He’s also much younger, he’s not slow by any means, and carries lot of power.

But past the first 3 I think Mac’s chances get materially smaller.
