    At least this thing wasn't as big of a circus as it could have been. Mac fought the one of the greatest of all time and held his own for nearly 10 rounds.

        I don't think Floyd really prepared much for this fight. I've never seen him get hit that much in his entire career (granted I didn't see a lot of the fight). I think he did it on purpose to try and make things interesting and also test Conor's power. Floyd usually throws the quick jabs to size you up and control the fight. I'll have to see the fight in detail but I don't think he threw many jabs. I didn't see Floyd's hand speed tonight but against Canelo he was lightning quick. Put Floyd against Canelo tomorrow and Canelo still won't be able to hit him.

          So many bad predictions on this site. Most crying about a circus and a fix to get more of our money it is no wonder the books win every year. Every Mayweather fight it is the same thing with a lot of jokers. He is gonna lay down and get a rematch. Just watch the fuking fights u clowns. Nobody wants to listen to this shit where u think u know something nobody else's knows. Both guys fought and the better man won. Both fighters came to fight and the better man won. You guys will back tho probably the Canelo fight with the same fuking garbage.

            Conors power

            Lets be clear, Conor does not have boxing power. He has perceived power in MMA because guys don't know how to take a punch, have terrible head movement and don't work angles for glancing blows, so he lands a lot of flush counter hooks. In the boxing world, Conor doesn't have power, he couldn't knock out Oscar De La Hoya

                Agreed Floyd probably didn't prepare as much as he usually does for prize fights.. Still at 40 the reflexes can slow, chin can begin to turn to glass.. We see this alot in MMA, boxing is no different.. You see less of the punches coming and you do get hit more with 40 year old aged fighters..

                  I've seen Conor fight a lot and he likes to box in the Octagon. I think Mayweather would do quite well in UFC. Even if he gets his ass kicked, they would both make unreal money. I think it has to happen.

                    They are saying on espn its possible to book a Connor/Pauli Malignaggi. I think Conor can make 5- 10 million which aint chump change compared to mma money. They are already selling the drama. Paulie saying he was a plant by Floyd. Leaking the pics. As popular as CM is, people would pay (not $100) to see it. Both guys talk pretty good trash too.

                      I agree. Father time is undefeated but Floyd has never taken any punishment like most every other boxer. He has never done drugs or drink or do crazy stuff to his body. He has always been in epic shape. I saw his workout a few weeks ago and it was business as usual. He has a lot of miles on his body, so I think he could fight another 3 - 5 years but does he want to? He keeps saying he's done but someone is going to throw him ridiculous money and he'll have to take it IMO.

                        Floyd got out the sport cleaner than most. No need to fight a Canelo and get beat up at the age of 41. And if people think floyd is really broke, you should get checked out. Not you personally of course lol.

                          It would be interesting. The tough part about transitioning from boxing to mma is there is so much more to focus on i.e. Ground game (top, bottom, subs, sub defense, etc), take down defense, and so forth

                          What made Conor semi competitive tonight is that boxing is a 950051081vbig part of his fighting game and has been for 5-6 years. Floyd has never implemented ground training into his camps nor trained seriously.

                          With that said, I'd be more interested in Floyd fighting MMA I was with Conor boxing. If Floyd caught anyone flush with 4oz gloves, it would be good night.

                          I'd love to see some of the heavyweight boxers make the transition

                            Some of you guys are over analysing this too much.

                            - We all knew this was a fight for money nothing else.
                            - We all hoped we'd see a spectactle (maybe even a major upset) even though we knew it wouldn't happen, we didn't.

                            Lol at Floyd fighting in the octogon for big bucks, MMA can't touch boxing for money that's why we just watched that fight. Why on earth would Floyd fight at 40 with no training in the octogon, unreal.

                              Miocic wouldn't last three rounds with AJ, Wilder, Ortiz hell he wouldn't last three rounds with anyone in the top 20.

                                It looked like McGregor was pretty much intent on taking that away. With his reach which Floyd hardly ever gives up Mac just kind of kept his right extended smothering that jab. Fight didn't go at all like I expected. Mac's power didn't translate to the boxing ring, but he made Floyd miss pretty easily a lot of the time. I'm sure Floyd did have the gameplan to take his time and let Mac tire out, but there was no way whiffing several punches at a time was part of that gameplan

                                  ^gameplan? he freestyled that whole thing, hence why he was laughing before the fight, during the fight, and after every round. He also said he hadn't sparred for months. This was a pure money grab

                                        I liked Conor's style early. It was definitely giving Mayweather problems, which I did not expect.

                                          People have been calling Floyd a pussy, run like a chicken shit for years. What better way to change that perception than to go in the Octagon? Even if he got submitted, people would have to give him credit for taking on the fight.

                                          But, it is all about the money. If he made $200 million tonight, what do you think he would make in the Octagon? We're talking $400 - $500 million. WHO IN THE HELL WOULD EVER TURN THAT TYPE OF MONEY DOWN? He would have no choice. He would HAVE to fight for that much money. You don't get it?

                                                  It was, can't lie. I basically called it, and get to say I told you so to anyone who thought Conor had a chance. Did enjoy the guy whose scorecard they put up, which made it seem close. Have people telling me see, that judge has it even. Yeeeeeah, he wasn't a judge. Conor barely won a round but those hits to Floyd's gloves sure were loud, and sounded like he had a chance. Floyd could have run a mile, came back, and still won. Some people think it was called early. Should have been a TKO in the 9th, but the ref was giving Conor constant chances to save face. Then knew the KO was coming so called it.

                                                    Floyd worked his gameplan great and I don't have a problem with the stoppage, but saying Mac barely won a round I can't believe. Doesn't matter the quality of the punches, plenty of them got through, he was the one throwing them and throwing a lot of them in the early rounds.

                                                      Alright, he can have two. I just found it hilarious when they put their armchair judge's scorecard up that Conor won the first three. Conor would throw 15, while Floyd would hit him with 5 that were actual power punches. Anyway, I haven't looked at numbers. Just saw a man completely overmatched get beat up. I don't fault him. Do think he just stole money, but good for him. Floyd could have went 24 rounds. Conor was dead in the 8th. Feel bad for people that didn't hit TKO in the 9th.

I think Conor can make 5- 10 million which aint chump change compared to mma money. They are already selling the drama. Paulie saying he was a plant by Floyd. Leaking the pics. As popular as CM is, people would pay (not $100) to see it. Both guys talk pretty good trash too.
                                                        Pauli isn't a big enough name to sell a boxing match with Conor. I think, and it'll never happen so it's just me bs'ing, but if you want to make boxing great again and even MMA better, than have matches where there is no weight classes.

                                                        Just for the spectacle of it all, I'd like to see a boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson (in his prime). There'd be about a 70 pound weight difference, but I''d want to know what would happen. Would the first punches Floyd took from Tyson completely wreck him? Or would Floyd be able to stay in the fight thru his boxing skill and outpoint Tyson?

                                                        Likewise, what would happen of Conor McGregor fought Michael Bisping in the cage? Would it be as simple as the bigger guy getting on top of the little guy and beating the shit out of him?

                                                        I think having some David vs Goliath fights would add something to the sport. I think the little guys would take those fights. But the bigger guys probably don't want to risk being embarrassed if they lose...

                                                              Mayweather would get murdered in an MMA fight with McGregor, one clinch and he'd get elbow'd, knee'd and then taken down.. He'd get'd kicked if it stayed standing..He wouldn't survive a round.. Stop dreaming fellas...

                                                              Mayweather is a boxer not an MMA fighter.. James Toney trained a year for MMA and got destroyed once he entered the Octagon.. One takedown and it was over..

                                                                      You and Mase Of Base need to relax,were having a fun debate,gonna tell me they couldn't get the public interest to see a UFC Fight with Floyd Mayweather,alot of people would love to see Mayweather in the Cage,McGregor had no training in Boxing,but guess what he put together 9 rounds against one of the top Boxers in his time,so don't act like Mayweather couldn't do it because he's abit older.

                                                                        I was pleased with the fight as it was entertaining, at least there was a good amount of action.
