Mayweather Vs McGregor: Info and prediction thread

[Kimi80]

I have read in some newspapers that tickets on black market for this fight will go up to 130 000$... I don't know why would price go so high, think that Mayweather will win this easily and wouldn't be so interesting  to watch.

Would you post a reference. Or just name that newspaper you've read it from.

I think $130000 For a ticket is just too much. Probably because of the hype. But too much still!

I wasn`t able to post back earlier, I was out of town and screen shot that I made was on my desktop computer.

For real? Or those people are part of the ticketing management and promotion and tells the people there that it will come up on that rate? Please show us some screenshot from that newspapers or have some picture of it, everyone here is interested to see those possibility. And right now I haven't seen any stage from this fight.

Sorry for late response, here si the screen shot of that article..

I'm only repeating what one of my friend's who trains MMA told me. He says people hang from a bar with weights attached to their legs to increase their reach/arm length. I can't vouch for its accuracy. It is possible a person's shoulder joints might become more looser or more flexible over time with training allowing a person to gain more extension on how far their arms can reach. I would be very interested to see the results of a medical study on that.

I think Malignaggi knows they won't release the footage. Floyd's trainers could analyze it and break down strengths/weaknesses which could help Floyd in the fight. They might release it after the fight though.

Even if they hang from a bar with weight attached there wont be much of a difference unless you are in the growing stage,other than that it is not medically possible from what i know  it could increase the muscle around that region ,the only thing you could do is to strengthen their bone and muscles if you are a grown man. With the fight day approaching i am a bit confused how capable McGregor could be in this fight.

Sick of all these MMA fans saying boxing is on a decline. Please do your homework before making remarks that are well off the mark. 80,000 fans watched Froch and Groves in Wembley. 90,000 watched  AJ v Vlad in Wembley.

As for PPV buys,  Mayweather v Pacquiao got 4.6 million buys. McGregor v Diaz got 1.6 million buys. So MMA's biggest fight ever is dwarfed by boxings.

Boxing has got loads of top money makers when it comes to PPV.  MMA has only one in McGregor, and yes only because he's got a big mouth. So when he retires which will be on 26th august, MMA can go back to being a minority sport.

And don't forget Canelo vs Golovkin on September, it will be an huge success too.

Not to mention, Lomachenko is going to become an huge PPV attraction in the following years. I can already see Gervonta Davis vs Loma being an epic clash.

On other news, McGregor is live doing his media workout:

Mayweather did his media workout and he is looking sharp and his stamina is great.

Jon Jones as well. That is why he is calling Brock to make a money fight. Ronda is already irrelevant and GSP who we thought is going back again, back out. So only legitimate superstar are Connor and Jones. GGG vs Canelo is gonna be huge fight as well. I'm looking for Loma vs Mikey, I think this will be also huge for boxing. We can't really compare boxing and mma in terms of its superstar. MMA is still young at opposed to boxing. Mayweather PPV's alone can dwarf PPV records of MMA. I checked the undercards, it looks like most of them are under Mayweather's TMT management. Good exposure for them in the largest sporting event this year. I hope they really gives us a good showing so that we will take notice of the upcoming stars.

Mcgregor is super underdog with that fight since we used to see him fighting in UFC and the gloves is much more lighter than the boxing gloves and also his stamina will fall since the rules is on boxing and he is not comfortable to fight for so long. And I will not be surprised if Mayweather will nailed it since he can dominate inside the boxing ring.

We cant still be sure on the result of this fight but seeing on the advantages in stamina i would really go for Mayweather and we can really compare it since UFC fighting isnt really too much when it comes on fight duration and rounds which we cant see on boxing.  If the game would based really on boxing style then Floyd would really have the edge. Fight is fast approaching i cant wait anymore.

A short clip of Conor McGregor sparring Paulie Malignaggi has been released. The clip is from their 2nd sparring session where they went 12 rounds. Its the same sparring session where the pic of Paulie on the ground was posted from:

Can't say for certain whether the knockdown is legit. Conor lands a monster left hand which seems to rock Malignaggi before he falls.

From the angle is looks like its a legit knockdown. But damn Paulie is out of shape. hahaha. Paulie though has a tough chin but have a glass hands. I don't know if you have seen his fights against Cotto. Miguel totally disfigured Paulie face that night but he didn't surrendered or something. Maybe its a shove or coming from a push but Connor hit Paulie in the face square off and Paulie was rocked. I don't know if Connor has hit Mayweather cleaned though.

Seems legit and we saw in that how powerful punch of Conor is .But if we take on the point of that match Floyd is too different to Malignaggi .We will see how truly work what Mcgregor stratedgy and power punch will do to Floyd.

He seems to land a big left, but he makes a lot of wide angle slow punches, those could be exploited by Mayweather easily. He looks like he got rocked by that left punch and then he was a bit wobbly and after some finishing touches he fell to the floor. Maybe we will have a fight after all.


The footage is shit tho, you can't really tell what's happening.

Yeah, he is a bit slow as well specially when he is doing mitts. You are supposed to punch hard and show everyone that you have it to beat Floyd. But he is kinda slow on it. I think if you shows the footage to  Mayweather, he will just laugh it off. The footage doesn't show anything that we can say that he has a chance, expect again for one lucky punch that can hit Floyd straight up.

well if we will look back with Conor's fight we can say that its possible that he can manage to knock his sparring partner out and if chances will allow him
and Mayweather will be reckless i think one big solid punch from Conor will decide this match just in case but knowing how Mayweather style it will be
very difficult.

But have on mind Malignaggi hasn't done anything in a long time, he came out straight from the plane without previous warmup and that was the first session. He said the last 5 rounds he dominated Conor. And he said the second session was much better.

I would like to see the entire footage. Sure he did catch him good on there, but that's just one round.

If you show someone the round 2 of Mosley vs Mayweather without showing the rest of the fight, you would think Mosley was superior, but Mayweather schooled him for the rest of the fight.

Also it's just sparring, you can be the champion of your gym but thats very different to being the champion under the lights.

[Similificator]

Well if we look at the mechanics of mayweather and mc., then one can really say that mayweather really has the big advantage, not only because he is in his comfort zone but also he is a great fighter, that tests his opponents first in the first few rounds, then when he sees a pattern, that is when he strikes. But you see, mc also has predicted a lot of his achievements. Like what he says, he does. So we'll just have to wait and see.

As for the betting, I'll have my money on mc(but maybe locally only). Because I have been a fan of him for quite a long time already. I think he'll be able to go against the odds and pull off an upset. But really i dont care much about who wins, i just want to see a great fight and not a boring one like pacman and mayweather. I hope he doesn't go out there chicken fight again. That would then be the greatest upset if ever :/

Plus Connor looks awkward in the video. His fighting stance looks very amatuerish. How can he then win over Floyd's superior  boxing skills and defense? The more I see the video, the more I'm leaning towards Mayweather. He is just touching Malignaggi in the video and his weapon is his left hand only. Of course Floyd doesn't like southpaw but he can sure adjust as the round goes by.

Perhaps a lucky blow to the liver or something like that may lead towards an unexpected ending. I say unexpected but I am somehow hopeful that Conor will be able to be victorious.

After seeing the open work out ,McGregor looks confident as ever and he is in perfect shape and the funny thing is that Dana White just released the Pauli click where Mcgregor knocks him out,seeing the clip it looks like a perfect knock out rather than the push down he is crying all this while. I am certainly betting my money after seeing the work out in favor of McGregor.

It would really be funny to see FLoyd loose the fight although I doubt Connor  will win. I'd really be the first to shout boo to FLoyd if he is knocked by Connor. Money will flow to those who bet with COnnor. If directbet is just alive still, I would have put money to this fight. Nitrosport isn't working well to me.

Just for fun let's bet on Connor to win this fight, does not matter if we lose, besides the odds are really good that we can get the best payout if we bet on Connor. This is a hard fight for him but who knows if there will be a lucky punch that is going to take down Mayweather, this is boxing and full of surprises here.
