    How could we make a Mayweather/Conor McGregor fight competitive?

    I think everyone agrees a straight boxing match and McGregor is a huge underdog, and an MMA match would see Mayweather submitted in 15 seconds.

    What set of rules could even it out and make it competitive?

    None will be a scam to get Mayweather to 50-0.

    Maybe if knees were allowed it would balance the scales?

    He is also a business man. Even though he leaks a lot of money via money lifestyle and gambling, he still earns a lot from his promotions companies and some of his smart investments. He must have good investment advisors.....its rare for black athletes.

    Mayweather would win whether it's boxing or MMA. Waiting ten years might make it competitive; it would be 50 vs. 39 instead of 40 vs. 29.

    It would be a huge scam with lots of hype to get people to pay $99. Just a money grab.

    I learned my lesson and will never pay for PPV boxing again.

    Boxing gloves in a boxing ring with MMA rules would be interesting. Only way it would be competitive is if you allow knees,kicks,elbows,and takedowns.

    Most likely going to happen


    MAC has nothing to lose

    Take easy 15 mill plus gate %


    Mayweather knows this is his last shot at big money fight


    Mac has more appeal than PAC now

    Floyd has made a lot of money from boxing. He will never fight for $25 mill against mcg unless he went broke overnight.

    Agreed

    I only get out to Vegas once in awhile and have run into him multiple times

    The first time I was at a strip club with a friend and all of a sudden security came over and asked if we would move. No big deal, they weren't especially great seats in VIP or anything so we did. Few minutes later it's that little smurf Mayweather with about 6 bodyguards seated there. I went by there to take a piss and he was looking at me like "Aw did I hurt ur feelings, what are you going to do?(Surrounded by 6 bodyguards/entourage)" Before that I didn't have a problem, was cool to see him for the first time, but after that and subsequent run ins with him in Vegas I know what a little dick he is.

    all that from a look

    how did you restrain yourself

    i am guessing your other "run ins" with him must have been worse since you did not detail them

    I play a good bit of poker and I think I can read people pretty well

    Not run ins, but running into him like seeing him at the casino cage or at the tables acting like a douche

    Toney was well past his prime and probably doing it for cash, Mayweather is close to his prime and would prepare as if it were the championship of all time.

    Come on man

    There is nothing he could do against that single leg takedown and ground and pound/submission. Nothing

    Why is this so hard for you to believe? It was in a strip club and him and his entourage got security to kick me out of my seat. Highly doubt he was staring at me with a goofy look on his face because he thought i was sexy

    pretty easy answer imo

    use mma gloves in a boxing fight / ring/ rule set


    the mma gloves are much smaller and change everything about the boxing defensive game that mayweather has mastered
    would make the playing field much much more even , i would even lean mcgregor in that scrap

    but mayweather is a diva and has terrible weak hands so he wouldnt agree to that anyways . but that would realistically would be the best method/ rule set for me

    I watch EVERY UFC....even the China BS but I wouldn't go out of my way to catch this.....would be no better than May PAC which was boring too.....boxing simply is not entertaining when the most that will happen is a bunch of jabs and dancing. Considering all the $ is made BEFORE
    the fight...the joke is on the buyer who will get nothing but a lackluster performance from both sides (check cleared)..so there is zero (in ring) motivation....its pretty much a dumb hustle...

    Conor needs to defend a fukkin' title already.

    Like Fire said - have Mayweather use 16 ounce sparring gloves and let McGregor use MMA gloves... No grappling..

    I still would take Mayweather to win on points.. McGregor would still not be able to hit Mayweather, he'd be punching at air even with the small gloves on..

    No way McGregor ever wins a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather.. No way Mayweather wins a grappling contest against McGregor...

    This match up is stupid..
