Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Stops Conor McGregor in The Tenth

[Hype job]

Wouldn't be surprised if the fight is fixed for some kind of DQ decision leading up to a rematch.

Canelo dreams of being 5'9. No way. He looked shorter than Lara whose listed at 5'9

They're all 5'7,5'8 range IMO. The UFC definitely embellishes some of the measurements

Exactly. Every fighters height is usually exaggerated by at least an inch. There is no way Floyd is 5'8. Floyd is definitely 5'7, Manny 5'5, Canelo is pushing 5'8.

Floyd looked at least 2 inches shorter than Isaiah Thomas who is listed at 5'9.

Mayweather was embarassing in that second presser. It wasl ike a chidl who wanted to be liked but found he was surrounded by people who had enough of his crap. I think the crowd chanting "UFC UFC UFC" really rattled him.

Plus, what I've always said is being shown here on a mass scale "Mayweather has little charisma". Connor is just so much more natural and at ease in front of people and cameras.

But May still gonna beat him easy lol

He's never had charisma and he has always been insecure. He was raised by crack heads and he barely went to high school. I knee Conor was going to embarrass him. But that's what will make people think Conor has a chance.

Anyone else think the size difference didn't look as big this time around with Floyd in a t shirt?

Mcgregor knows how to sell a fight you have to give him that

At end of the day, Floyd makes lots of money for easiest fight of his career

Mcgregor doesn't lose anything by being beaten by the best
and he makes loads of money too

As opposed to a Boxer???

More often than not, its the Boxer who "comes from the streets"... that parking lot scenario is more apt for a Boxer than an MMA fighter, lets be real. Just saying.

Again listen to what Heather Hardy's saying:

At the highest level of Boxing, MMA can not compare. But at the middle and lower levels, MMA might offer the better paydays. She got paid more in her MMA debut with Bellator, then for any Boxing match in her 20-0 career

She's mid/low-level in Boxing, as far being a star and getting paid. Champion or not, Female or not, she's mid-level at best... in MMA, with a bit of her notoriety, she can start-off making similar money in Bellator.

The UFC screws their fighters, no doubt about that. The UFC sells the UFC above the individual fighter. That's not what happens in Boxing. What Dana does is pump the "UFC brand" over the fighters, they're second to the "brand". That's the way the sport has grown... and it's been a double-edged sword for the fighters. They don't get the cut that should be getting.

In Boxing, the top stars are what drive the sport, it's not the "name" of one promotion company. We don't care that it's "Top Rank" or "Golden Boy"... we care about the name of the Boxers, not the name of the promotion. So at the top level, Boxers make a lot more than MMArtists. But below those "top stars"... at the mid-to-lower level, it's different.

You're off wandering in the flowers and the daisies now. Again listening to Hardy she's clear about the lack of opportunity for women in boxing. Something you didn't address in your post. You opted to talk more generally about the UFC and boxing, which is fine but doesn't properly explain why McGregor is pulling this stunt.

This is really simple, if the "middle and lower levels" of the UFC offered anything comparable to boxing, fighters would be out there collecting checks, but it's something you simply don't see. For women it's different, the UFC has a WWE sort of fanbase and complexion so women thrive in that sort of environment of ******ed teens salivating over hot fit women.

Also and unfortunately, the UFC is indistinguishable from Dana White, much like Don King ****** all of the air out of the room when he was at his height.

It's ***y as hell watching women face off in the UFC, those women look amazing. The bottom line is fighters go where the money is since they fight for a living...

Mods, can we maybe get a May-Mac Sub-forum going like Sherdog did? This board has become unreadable.

Yep. I also noticed Floyd had sneakers on with huge soles. The kind that when you look from the side you can see that line of support bubbles.
Their shoulders were almost level today. Not on the first day. I dont think Floyd liked looking up that much.
