Comments Thread For: Mayweather: On Paper Everything Leans Toward McGregor

[thack]

On paper everything leans towards Mcgregor .......it's official Floyd can not read.

Floyd used to be good at selling a fight based on how he would beat them .Now he's trying to sell it based on how the fighter will beat him!......We all know Conors only chance is to land a punch that to date 49 boxers , some heavy hitters have failed to do .Get a grip Floyd I won't be mugged in to paying for this rubbish.

He's sorta right except in the most obvious category. His boxing ability. If he was fighting a B or C level boxer this statement would be closer to the truth. Mayweather is 40 years old coming off a 2 year layoff. McGregor is younger and supposedly has power. He hasn't been tested in the boxing ring so the conclusion to most is he can never win a fight against one of the most accomplished modern day boxers. Maybe in Mayweather's mind it's about what we don't know about McGregor rather than the assumption that this will be easy. I think he also realizes that if for some reason he lost this would be a huge dent to his ego. He might just be saying what's going through his mind. I don't know if he needs to make THIS statement to sell the fight.

I think this fight does 2million. 500k Mayweather fans, 1 million mma fans, and 500k fans that just wants a throw a house party.

How are you brilliant just for taking advantage of ****** people?

Not other boxers can do it like Mayweather, so yes he is brilliant. He aint taking advantage of no one. The ****** people are letting themselves take advantage of. No one keeps them ******, but themselves.

Let's be realistic, Connors boxing skills are not even on par with even high level amateurs (guys who fight nationals,golden gloves,Olympics) his skills are litterally on par with an average amateur boxer, the kind my gym is loaded with...the guys who might win a tournament here and there but won't compete in Olympics and won't turn pro. Yes I'm ordering fight, because as a combat sports fan Mayweather vs mcgregor is awesome..BUT... if Connor lands a single power shot clean it's bad for Floyds rep. If Floyd has any self respect & cares about the sport he'll fight mcgregor the way he did gatti...stop him early/middle rounds. Also, Floyd never gets fat, always trains, doesn't drink/smoke/drugs also his style preserves his brain and body...his 40 years old body won't be old,worn and finished like a guy at 40 like Broner.

Five division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. believes the critics are underestimating and overlooking his upcoming opponent, UFC superstar Conor McGregor. At 40 years old, Mayweather will break a two-year retirement on August 26th, when he faces McGregor in a Showtime Pay-Per-View from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
