    Conor just made 100 mil for losing. I think winning would have been icing on the cake. He was in there for the paycheck.

    100 mil to get his ass kicked by someone in his 40s as a respected ufc fighting champ? Worth it.

    Lotta mcgregor fans here. This is why I don't have sides. I can rip on both of these guys.

    30 minimum -- he'll probably clear 150 million -- Floyd is looking at a 1/4 billion plus.

    Connor had him the first 6 and was man handling him in the first 3

    Best boxing match I've seen and I gained respect for floyd by him realizing if he didn't punch back he was gonna lose

    Connor was gassed out but mayweather b**** **** of ducking down every 2 hits didn't help

    Either way good fight. Connor should learn some stamina and compete in both UFC and boxing cause he wasn't bad

    I even think mayweather gained some respect

    Before I leave, did anyone actually think the sport of boxing was gonna let some unknown amateur come in and beat one of their undefeated 49 And 0 champion boxers?

    Wish i put money on it, oh well. I tried.

    I'm not fan of Mcgregor. I'm a fan of the hype and the spectacle though.

    Nothing behind Conor's punches. He landed a lot, but if there was any power to them, Floyd would of been gone.early.

    Now I want to see a UFC fight of Floyd vs. Conor.

    It's really hard to hit Floyd clean, he's not the only one to fail at it. I wonder how well he'd do if he took on Boxing full time. For his legacy I think he should try it, how many guys would be able to say they've held a belt in Boxing and MMA?

    Floyd is a technician, him ducking down is simply ducking punches. It's not like Conor couldn't hit him while he was doing that, Floyd was ducking out of the way of punches.

    He gets his ass kicked worse than that training for an MMA fight, Mayweather has no power.....if he did, McGregor would have been on the canvas.

    How the F does boxing have so much money involved over a single match?

    Here's the final flurry by Mayweather from three different angles all in slow motion. The only reason I was upset they called it was because an obvious KO was about to occur. Conor was defenseless.



    I have all the rounds saved. So, if you want anything else uploaded, let me know.

    You mean he had him by points in the first 6? maybe, but I don't think he landed a punch at all after the first 3. At least, none of any significance.

    Well the fight wasn't a farce after all! It was entertaining and both fighters had their moments, BUT is was clear who had the better stamina! I don't think either fighter was actually hurt in the entire fight. Regardless it was a legitimate fight, contrary to what the majority in the beginning of the thread were saying!

    (P.S.) I find it amusing when someone insults another person for spending THEIR money on
    anything. I always feel like they can't afford something so they make themselves feel better by critiquing those that can afford it. I could be wrong doe?;)

    Dude we both know Floyd is smart but he wins off score cards by running away because it allows him less punches, which allows a higher hit percentage which wins on split decisions.

    Floyd got scared and was ducking down every 2 punches Connor threw to either 1) get him disqualified for hitting the back of the head. Or 2) do the classic mayweather **** and win off the score card by only playing defense and exchanging hits only after Connor has thrown 3-5 punches so he can win off hit %

    Was the best paperview fight I've even seen. Was exciting the whole match

    You seem irate.

    He was obviously never trying to get McGregor disqualified.

    Floyd fighting like this is akin to Harden abusing the rules to live at the line. Why hate him for exploiting rules when no one else is smart/talented enough to do so?

    Nope, boxing requires athleticism and quick reflexes and brains

    JJ Fatt is more fit for a pie eating "sport"
