Mayweather Vs McGregor: Info and prediction thread

[iTradeChips]

Well I guess after this fight you can't call Mayweather "Baby Face" anymore. I'm sure McGregor will do his best to crush this man's ego.

Mayweather needs to find someone who can beat him , he's too dirty in ring. I'll be hoping for that no more baby face memes after their game. McGregor needs to do great in ring to make this happen.many will celebrate if ever happens.

I think it is all about money, and McGregor, he is a good fighter, I think it is not easy to beat by Mayweather. MayWeather will win because it is boxing, he is undefeated in this sport, he has a good career. How could you imagine that the boxer and the MMA fighter will have a chance to fight, it is for money.

I'm a solid fan of McGregor, if he lose, its ok. And if he win much better, I don't want the dirty skill of Mayweather in boxing, he is smart, he use his feet to run and run.

am i the only one thinking of a possible trilogy? mcgregor wins the 1st for more hype. mayweather takes the 2nd which will lead to an even bigger hype for the 3rd bout which is the real fight. yeah my tinfoil hat is on

That is the problem. Floyd Mayweather also has a plan until he himself is also hit in the face. They are both human but Conor is stronger, bigger and in his peak while Floyd is older and he is risking himself to lose for the first time against a nonboxer of all people.

Does this mean MMA is better than boxing?

In a real fighting situation MMA is always better,it is always good to learn some sort of martial arts to survive and if a boxer faces a MMA fighter in the streets it is guaranteed that MMA will win as boxing is just a stand up limited fight and MMA fighter will take you down and ground and pound and designs your face.

Boxing is definitely for entertainment purpose only but it does improve your strength and skills to defend yourself as well, you will get physically fit when as it requires you to be strong while you are learning boxing. But going back to the main topic, it's pretty obvious that Mayweather is the king of boxing now and since this game is played on his forte, he should win this game.

I agree that MMA would be better if you need to fight in the streets because it utilizes and takes advantage of all your body parts. In boxing, you are only allowed to use your hands to punch and in a street fight, there are no rules. We will see when the fight is happening already to see if the people are right or wrong with their predictions, I just hope whoever you put your money into, you could win.

I watched highlights of Floyd's last fight with Andre Berto 2 years ago. Floyd looked slower, less technical and less athletic. He looks like he's getting old and his skills are deteriorating. Not certain if that will factor into his fight with Conor. Floyd admitting he's not as good a boxer today as he was 2 years ago.

We may have a better idea of how good a boxer Conor is after he spars with Malignaggi.

There is no doubt that Mayweather is getting too old, no one can deny that and he is going to fight someone who hasn't boxed professionally in his entire life, I believe on that count Mayweather will have the edge of McGregor. As the best defensive boxer there is currently, I know he will carry the day.

That little leprechaun is going to get his "wilttle feelers hurt" when he gets knocked the hell out by a little old man. He talked and talked until he finally convinced the little old man to come out of retirement....He picked the fight with the little old man and now that little old man is going knock that boy out....And, we all get to watch it happen!  Why didn't he pick a fight with a real fighter, like Diaz....why's he fighting little old men?

Well let's hope the old man is fit enough to withstand his youthful exuberance and can last the entire duration of the fight. I know Floyd is a good boxer but can he withstand connors punches? We live to see.

Here's the problem: if he wins, he won by picking a fight with a little old man instead of fighting a REAL opponent, like Nate Diaz who'd already served him up twice.  If he loses then he got whipped by a little old man who'd already hung up his gloves.  So, neither situation proves Conor is a tough guy; in fact, all it proves is that he chooses the easiest fights which make the most money. He's not fighting this fight to prove he's tough because this fight wont prove he's tough....It wont prove nuttin'

Well Mayweather has been in that situation before. LOL. They said he is afraid of Pacquaio and avoiding him for years. But he proves otherwise. Floyd even told that even if he win against Pacquiao he will still not getting the credit for fighting and defeating the little man. Which is true. The cycle will just repeats itself. This will always be the argument whichever fighter it is.

Mayweather has been told to be scared of people for years. Ever since he started using his more defensive approach to beat fighters as he got older (because boxing casuals forget that Mayweather was knocking guys out in the begining when he was younger, he has 26 wins by KO) they started criticizing his style.

In my book he is a legend. Overcame all of his obstacles, and adapted to always find a way to win. Now he just needs to win this one to finish with a perfect record and more money than you could ever count. And without taking any major damage. Just look at how a lot of 40 year old boxers look like compared to Mayweather, most can't properly talk. Of course there are people like Rocky Marciano which were able to take massive amounts of damage, and be able to retire undefeated and with perfect speech, but these guys have brick skulls and somehow don't get major brain trauma.

I'll vote to may weather because he can stay long in the inside the rich remember pacman vs mayweather he can stay long in the battle field
And i think he has long stamina that i think much stronger than mcgregor..

I think we are talking about boxing..  not a street fighting..

There's a new video out by showtime, if it's legit, then we can see the real fight heights:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLVkLbV2mO8

Conor McGregor does not seem that taller than Mayweather, they are at the same eye level. Im saying "if its legit" because who knows if Mayweather is standing in something to appear taller for the shoot lol. We will see if this video showcasing fight heights is legit when the weight ins happen.

[Gintama214]

 Well for starters they are just doing this for money, they I'm equally fan of MMA and Boxing but for me boxing has been so scripted the player were just playing for money and many people can see that unlike MMA they see real blood and real fight. Like, the recent match of Pacman and Horn I think that was so scripted, the judges let Horn win and there will be a rematch and Pacman will get his belt back and it got more interesting when Horn called Mayweather, just because Horn won by unanimous decision. In boxing industry I think money is the only keeping it running, unlike MMA you see real fighters. Between Mayweather and McGregor, I would actually vote for McGregor because Mayweather is being cocky just because he never lost a game because he just keeps running and running but McGregor is not just about talking cocky but he delivers it in the ring unlike Mayweather that's like a chicken keeps running. We all know that both of them a very cocky and just want the money but I hope McGregor will TKO Mayweather so that he will taste what its like to be TKO'd and stop being a cocky chicken.

Boxing matches don't work like that.It's not like the one who stays for long in a fight wins the match but the one who scores more points by landing more punches.More stamina doesn't mean stronger.

They're and that barely matters.Even if Gregor was shorter,it would give him exposure to the hit points where he can land punches starring right at them.

[SaShiRaJaVu]

@Gintama214 Boxing is all about big money without a doubt but to say that it is scripted is just bullshit,you really cannot say that it can be scripted because if they do so they could get a serious ban and so things wont work like that.The biggest difference is MMA is putting forward interesting fights and that might not happen in boxing,but recently they are trying to change that.

I think by now you should be aware that boxing is already a business. There are many pieces to the puzzle when it comes to building a successful boxing event. Promoters, matchmakers, managers and television executives all have roles to play. And, of course, without the boxers themselves, there would be no event at all. It may or not be scripted, but the whole system has already sucked in people in buying fights that we, boxing fans want to see.

[Ab-Soul]

I think Floyd Mayweather get his 50th win very easy. Because Conor McGregor is not a boxer. MMA and Boxing is very different type of sports. McGregor will make his debut for boxing and he has almost no chance. Mayweather is one of the best defenders in boxing in history. He can make McGregor tired in first rounds and then finish him. I bet for Mayweather.

if you seen most of the replied here all of us knew the advantage of being a pro but who knows if money will talk about this game what if mafias and fixers push this game to draw or in favor of Conor we really can't say the result just like what happen with pacquiao's previous fight its clear in the eyes of who bets with him and watched him who's the real winner but the results are different.

[bbc.reporter]

@Ab-Soul. Good luck in finding good odds to bet on Floyd. Look around in all the sportsbetting sites. You will not find anything that is good enough to bet on. It is better to make no bet than to make a bad one. The odds are very low.

[Fourgh]

As predicted months ago... this fight was meant to happen. I knew it was going to be 2017, but september, not this soon (August 26th)

This will be the biggest fight ever in terms of numbers. Expect insane gambling to happen that night.

Will Mayweather win as expected? Will McGregor pull the biggest upset ever and make a lot of people rich in case you bet for a McGregor win? Let's find out. My money is on Mayweather as usual. It worked 49 times, it should work again. Anything can happen in the sport of boxing tho, which is what makes this fight interesting, to see if McGregor lucks out and uses his power to KO him. I think his possibilities for an upset will get increasingly harder the longer the fight goes on. Mayweather typically tests the opponent for some rounds then proceeds to perform surgery on him, so McGregor needs to find a way o stop the fight quick.

This fight is not about the sports or boxing or MMA. It's about the money as usual. Boxing's reputation is not getting any better and people are now moving to MMA. This fight is all about the ratings and an alternative way to revive the dying ratings of boxing because of bad scoring decisions and bad officiating referees. The way I see it, it is just a move to promote Boxing again by either allowing Mayweather to win (which is very boring since he always run anyway) or making McGregor a sudden boxing champ making his new career to boxing. Either way Boxing's going to be fun to watch again. I think in terms of lethal punches, McGregor can beat Mayweather. But I hope he does not suddenly kick Mayweather literally because it is a boxing match and Mayweather has an advantage on that.

Well we already know that Mayweather will easily get his 50th win. Easy win at that. But you have to bet tons of money to get a good return because the odds are so big for Mayweather to win. Are you willing to take that  risk?

What we see like 5-10 years ago was a Cold War between Arum's promotion Top Rank and Dela Hoya's Golden Boy. Or even HBO sponsored fighters against ShowTime fighters. That's why we don't see fights that we want to see. Its all in-house fights. But since they have patch up things, we have seen Mayweather-Pacman. And more fighters are giving the chance to fight over other stables.

[yugyug]

both men Floyd Mayweather and Connor Mcgregor are good in each own discipline but the victory depends on which ring will they fight. but this fight favors on the ring of Mayweather's expertise - the boxing ring. There's no doubt that Mayweather would win unanimously and not even a close fight. Mcgregor has no chance to beat Mayweather in the boxing unless otherwise they fight in the octagon.

[Schuyler]

Ticket sales aren’t as strong as expected, even after a week of being available. Fans doesn’t seem too interested in buying something that expensive. I read from an article that it will set back a fan at least $15,000 to have a good seat. both Mayweather and McGregor can do all the selling they want but if the ticket prices are too high for those typical fans, the pay-per-view might be the best option at catching this “megafight”. For me, even a $100 PPV is too much, given how big of a mismatch this is going to be.

The only way an mma fighter can defeat a boxer is by putting him to sleep. Connor has power in his punches but floyd's defense is quite at a level unlike any other boxer. He's been against a lot of heavy punchers already yet he hasn't been knocked out. I'm quite curious as to how mcgregors camp would try to do this and if they can do it but unless floyd gets ko'd, its a running and hugging win for money.

I heard people are saying in the past as well that Manny should hit Mayweather hard to win, I guess it will be a hard job for Connor to put Mayweather to sleep because he is an active boxer who knows the right timing to hit and run. I would not deny that I believe Floyd is the smartest man in boxing history although I am not a fan of him but he clearly shows what boxing is.
