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

[dlowilly]

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?

[thetrinity]

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

[dlowilly]

Maybe if knees were allowed it would balance the scales?

Mayweather money hungry

massive money lifestyle so need money coming in for a long time to come

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.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

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.

[big joe 1212]

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.

[pilebuck13]

Live stream all pay per views even if quality is shitty oh well suckers pay for pay per view.......or NFL mobile streams all over if you know were to look....mayweather would absolutely murder him in a boxing match what a joke

[Coach Potato]

the mayweather v pacquo nearly killed boxing. all that hype 4 a shitty product. no wonder people would rather watch MMA.

[edawg]

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.

[chico2663]

doesn't really matter because mayweather runs the whole time

[jjgold]

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

[CWD]

mayweather camp i cant see budging unless they get majority or close chunk of ppv

hard to believe people laugh off 25 mill but i think floyd is serious

[Snowball]

Floyd afraid of losing, won't happen.

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

[jjgold]

Mayweather a known pussy in Vegas

[CWD]

its pathetic how mcgregor been taking it in the ass lately $$$ wise compared to what floyd makes per fight

LOL they arent pulling that this time

[CWD]

yes lets get some more thread views sbr

jerkoff jj shifts love to stir the pot

[dlowilly]

Mayweather would win whether it's boxing or MMA.

Wow you really are drunk aren't you?

Apparently you have never heard of James Toney vs. Randy Couture

[dlowilly]

Mayweather a known pussy in Vegas

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.

[sweethook]

no way in hell , O chance he could win in mma ....zero

[Kermit]

To be honest, I don't want to see this circus fight.

[CWD]

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

[dlowilly]

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

[DrunkHorseplayer]

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.

are you as good as the guy in rounders ?

[dlowilly]

Come on man

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

[jjgold]

Mayfag a pussy

[dlowilly]

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

[dlowilly]

I'm coming out of my self imposed ban to bump this thread since it is very close to happening

[firekillex]

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

[PaperTrail07]

Connor knows his top MMA days are gone....all smoke and mirrors....nice work...TF and Khabid hell Makha would roll him....he is GRASPING to anything he can at this point bc a return to MMA means the Rousey route......next after that is talk shows and movies...

[PaperTrail07]

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...

[Kermit]

I would rather watch them play a game of Monopoly against each other.

Conor needs to defend a fukkin' title already.

[JIBBBY]

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..
