Interesting!I learned yesterday that McGregor started out as a boxer. The Sports Book in Las Vegas is praying for a Mayweather win. If McGregor prevails it will cost them plenty of $$.
Agreed, boxing is a boring sport now, I used to love the Eubank/Benn matches and rematches!I'd like to see McGregor win, but I don't think he will.
McGregor is a bit of a character, boxing needs people like him to bring it back to the glory days. Back in the day when Eubank and Tyson were fighting I quite enjoyed it. The pre bout banter is a good laugh.
Eubank and all his posing in the ring got everyone going that was half the fun of watching. Every time I hear Simply The Best I always think of him striding up to the ring.Agreed, boxing is a boring sport now, I used to love the Eubank/Benn matches and rematches!
I can see McGregor forgetting the rules and reverting to MMA. Can't see it going down well if he boots Mayweather. They should of made it interesting, two brights, one at each discipline.Why do I feel this could all be very much WWE and sports entertainment.No disrespect to McGregor but in terms of Boxing Mayweather should annihilate him. Best defensive boxer in the history of the sport..most accurate puncher in the history of the sport..phenomenal talent, technique and movement..and a hard hitter (even with dodgy hands) look at the calibre of fighters he has defeated.
If it was an MMA bout or a street ruck I would put money on McGregor..but in boxing I can't see it..that said I think this is all to perhaps freshen up the sport..create new money making ventures and and other agendas..I'd fight both of them for the money they're getting.
Haha yeah it could happen, though apparently Mayweather has threatened to sue McGregor if he resorts to kicks. I could forsee if McGregor gets beaten him challenging Floyd to an MMA match..I can see McGregor forgetting the rules and reverting to MMA. Can't see it going down well if he boots Mayweather.

Sue !!! LOL !!! I'm sure he wouldn't get far with that. That would be up to the ref to warn McGregor during the fight. We step into the ring with another fighter MMA, what ever you expect to get hurt. What if Mayweather head butts McGregor, other contact apart from the fist happens. From the limited McGregor fights I've seen there not been many kicks. But I can see MayWeather having a hissy fit. Got to be expected really.Haha yeah it could happen, though apparently Mayweather has threatened to sue McGregor if he resorts to kicks.

Yep - final step from sport to pure entertainment. I hope Mayweather knocks him out in the first 15 seconds and completely discredits everyone who has made this happen.Why do I feel this could all be very much WWE and sports entertainment.
This!!! If they were fighting in my back garden, I would pull the curtains. My 13 year old has been pestering me for weeks to purchase it for him but I think it is all the media hype rather than any real interest in either boxing or whatever it is McGregor doesYep - final step from sport to pure entertainment.
