    Floyd Mayweather Vs Conor McGregor in the Octagon... With Modified Rules...

    .@FloydMayweather will fight @TheNotoriousMMA in the octagon. With 4 ounce gloves, no shoes, 5-five minute rounds in 155 division. No kicks, no take downs, no elbows, no knees. Certain things will be allowed like the clinch.

    So it's basically a boxing match with smaller gloves and longer rounds in the cage. What is the point?

    So Money "writes" the contract and McGregor
    breaks bus windows
    and signs on the dotted line .

    Why no shoes when no kicks are allowed??

    thats the thing to do if you disagree with it instead of complaining. let them know they cant get a money grab, the boxing match between the two should have been boycotted, but the mma idiots were duped into thinking Conor would beat one of the greatest boxers of all time.

    Connor is not a traditional boxer either. Since this whole thing is for show, there needs to be an MMA match alongside the 'pure' boxing one as well.

    Then they might as well have a rematch in a boxing ring.

    A week ago they said that Floyd was training MMA with Tyrone Woodley.

    Conor has a little edge with no shoes. Says no takedowns, maybe that doesnt still mean you cant grab and push.

    Before the boxing match, Conor's fans were saying "Conor's been boxing since he was 9 or 10 years old". But I pretty much agree, he isnt a professional boxer.

    Were these ridiculous rules made up after Conor threw a dolly threw the window or were they planning it this way all along?

    Good question. One could possibly play a leverage game with the incident.

    The fact that Mayweather got his 50th win by fighting a guy with a 0-0 record is a joke.

    I agree, I thought before the match he'll fight a legit boxer to make it more legit, he may still, Id expect him too not sure though.

    Floyd going to full MMA is more dangerous than Connor going to boxing. More rules to protect you in boxing. At the end of the day this is about cashing in a on big payday for both athelets.

    Five x five minute rounds = 25 minutes / 3 = about 8.3 rounds in boxing.

    Some had Conor ahead on the scorecards through 8 rounds in their boxing match.

    Don't know if Floyd's corrupt Vegas judges would be present.

    The bold is what will be the driving force for mma fans then to make this into another megafight. Conor did a lot of dirty things in that boxing ring on that night, one might expect him to be even dirtier in an mma fight, if things really dont go his way why not let an elbow or kick spring forth and apologize later.

    Many experts think Floyd let them win a lot of rounds and could’ve knocked him out in the first round

    It is possible Floyd sandbagged in the 1st fight and let Conor win rounds so he could set him up for a straight hustle in the 2nd fight.

    Wouldn't that be something.

    Many experts also predicted Conor winning the early rounds due to Conor's stance, movement and timing being different from a typical pro boxers and Floyd needing to adjust to it. Which experts are right? Maybe they both are.

    What about submissions? Standing guillotine would be beautiful, or maybe even a standing armbar

    He placed money on himself. He had his people making runs to the sportsbook. He also hit the mayweather wins in 10th round prop. Payout was over +2000 on it..
