whats the point of this? Elite boxer vs Elite MMA artist with

>>76769984
You seem to forget the elite boxer is 40 and retired, and the elite mma fighter is 28 on his best shape.

>>76769984
>is it just pure money
Yup

>Oh look, I'm better than Rocky Marciano
>Oh look, I'll make 150 millions
>Oh look, box > mma
>What do you mean the fight will move as much as 1 billion dollars
>What do you mean that the MMA guy will make more for this fight than he made in his entire career as an MMA fighter

That's why. Most pointless fight I've ever seen.

>>76769984
Well, if McGregor wins (which he doesn't), he'll prove that MMA is a superiour fighting sport/discipline to boxing.

That´d be proved by fight between a boxer and a mixed style fighter, which have been already done with the first UFC championships, where everything was allowed, and all kind of specialists participated. BJJ proved to be the best isolated style to fight other isolated styles, and years later mixed styles proved to be better than any other isolated style.

Mayweather - McGregor is going to be a fight with boxing rules and restrictions, so you can´t extrapolate anything about styles. Aside from fighter´s skills, maybe you can extrapolate something about age vs specialization, but that´s all.

>>76772722
You forgot the part where Mayweather is one of the greatest boxers to ever step on this earth

Zab Judah pinched Mayweather's nuts, like literally:
https://youtu.be/Ejc4Icdccbo

Why does boxing still command such a ludicrous amount of money? I'm not shitting on the sport I just see way more hype for MMA than I do Boxing, barring that Mayweather Pacquiao fight. Is it more popular worldwide than in North America?

>>76773181
yes

UFC is a yank dudebro tapout shirt gimmick, its not popular globally

boxing is the true gentlemans martial art

He's a good businessman, not a good boxer.

idiots like
>>76773244
>>76773302
want to pretend there is something classy about guys trying to kill each other for their entertainment. MMA is too much like a real, actual fight, ugly and dirty, so it breaks the illusion that it's a sport and not violence.

Box like Mayweather if you want to have a long career in fighting. Mayweather is a clever man.

>>76773807
Boxing is a fight between gentlemans. They want to hurt each other, but they'll never lose their own honour. And they'll have respect for their opponent aswell. Boxing is like the tournament of knights.

>he'll prove that MMA is a superiour fighting sport/discipline to boxing.
If he wins, maybe, but If he loses it won't prove that MMA<boxing. No one expects him to beat a pro boxer.

If the fight was an MMA fight it would be foolish to bet on Mayweather. Still, its a pointless fight and a shameless cash in. I'm amazed people are actually gonna pay to watch it.

>>76774031
Are you aware that boxing is far more dangerous and has a much higher mortality rate then MMA? Honestly, i find it much harder to see a boxer allowed to continue fighting after receiving brutal knockdown after brutal knockdown because he managed to answer some stupid arbitrary ten count then any brutal MMA knockout.

>>76773181
because MMA is boring as fuck

You underestimate a little thing called the great white hope

>>76772722

And retards like this is why the fight is happening.

>>76773343
yeah, he should have fought the best boxers in the division, like castillo, de la hoya, hatton, marquez, mosley, ortiz, cotto, alvarez, maidana, and pacquiao. instead he only boxed handpicked scrubs like uh...
oh wait. your excuse doesn't work anymore.

All of the points are retarded, this fight has no purpose to anyone who actually watches box.

The outcome is already known and it's going to be boring as fuck.

>>76769984
Mayweather is fucking 40 and connor is the best fighter of all time in his prime

Anyone not putting their life savings on Mcgregor hates money

From Mike fucking Tyson himself.

From the fucking sparing partner to Gregor.
>I wasn't even trying and landed 117 fucking punches.

Gregor could grapple and kick and beat the shit out of you, but this is boxing bro. This is duck weave punch and move, not smack and slam.

I hate Mayweather, but I look for him to win, its a boxing match, even if it wasn't, and turned into an MMA match it would still go to Mayweather because lighter gloves=stronger punch.

HES FUCKING TRAINED TO PUNCH! GREGOR IS TRAINED TO GRAPPLE AND BEAT!

>>76779333

tfw mayweather also puts all his money on connor and throws the fight

Gayweather has zero power. He hasn't knocked out a single decent opponent his entire career

I think Gregor might actually win. Mayweather is romanticized to a ridiculous degree.

Lomochenko would pick them both apart in boxing though

Except for shit talking and Tyson biting off an ear.

Didn't he just have a controversial KO at the bell?

>>76779286
>it's going to be boring as fuck.

So it'll be a typical boxing fight.

Who here team /50-0/ ?

Surely he has years of boxing or striking under his belt. With a few pro fights he might have a better chance.

MMA boxers are on another level. Mayweather has no chance, he will be eliminated.

>conor realizes he can't KO mayweather
>conor realizes he will run around for 36 minutes for millions of dollars

>>76779598
So it's Pacquio 2?

When you think about it, MMA is closer to what a real fight is as opposed to boxing.

So lets say this was a real fight, who would win, Mayweather or McGregor?

In a real fight, it seems like an MMA fighter will always have an advantage over a boxer.

>>76779635
If Mayweather doesn't win, his friends jump in.

>>76779635
In a boxing match, Mayweaher has a chance.

In a real fight/ MMA, he is dead

>>76779663
They would jump in at the beginning.

But we're obviously assuming its a 1 on 1 fight.

>>76779367
>>76779511
>>76779575
Yeah McGregor compares to boxers who have been doing this sport for their whole lives and some MMA shithead can just barge in, learn for a few months, and be good enough to beat someone others couldn't? You're all fucking stupid.

>>76779367

>t. angry filthipino

>>76779628

Pac ate those two right hand counters in the first and fought like a scared beta asian the rest of the fight...hopefully McGregor will last longer

>>76779568
No. It'll be a typical Mayweather fight.

>>76779811
I've been boxing for 6 years and got a bit of a name for myself.

The potato will probably win. His biggest problem would be getting around the defence.
If he's smart, he would be learning everything he can from Vasyl right now. But even so, I think he could just raw tank him. Mayweather is pretty delicate.

Irish shitposting will be out of control if 49-1 happens

>>76773181

UFC cornered the under-30 suburban white American internet posting market, which makes the sport seem more mainstream than it is

>>76773181
I'm assuming you're underage.
Real men box

>>76773181
Nobody watches MMA

I'll admit I've never watched much mcgregor but I've watched a lot of mayweather and the guy is so good at boxing that there is pretty much no way to beat him

>>76779989
>His biggest problem would be getting around the defense of the best defensive boxer ever

>Mayweather is pretty delicate
Based on what?

>>76777458
his eyes look fucked up

Mayweather is an old fart who hasn't boxed in ages. He'll be extremely rusty at best, and a step slower and less reactive at worst. He's never faced anyone with the sort of devastating punching power that McGregor has.

If McGregor gets one punch on him, it's GOODNIGHT FLOYD

When will Pacquiao retire? He is over the hill for ages.

Had a dream last night that McGregor knocked out Money in the 2nd round. Last two sports dreams have come true. Paying 40-1.

>>76788756
You think he'd take this fight if he wasn't in immaculate shape already?

>>76791005
I thought he already had, but apparently he has another fight. He is old, he should have retired right after the last Marquez fight if not a bit earlier.

>>76788756
If you put mma gloves on boxers they'd knock people the absolute fuck out. Boxers punch as hard as mma strikers but do so without the same telegraphs. Suggesting Mayweather hasn't been in the ring with people that punch as hard as goober is idiocy.

Remember McGregor got outboxed by nate diaz. Now take that fight and remove the leg kicks and double the boxers skill and make the fight five rounds longer.

You're a retard

mcgoober wants 100mil (from the braindead normies that are actually going to buy this) to get his ass kicked by an old man

>>76769984
I hate Mayweather, his constant jab & run tactics and overall being an uppity faggot manlet, but he has results. Now that Conor cunt is something else, literally just shit talked himself into relevance. WWE tier celebrity.

>>76779363
You had me until
>even if it wasn't, and turned into an MMA match it would still go to Mayweather because lighter gloves=stronger punch.

McGregor would fucking kill Mayweather if it was MMA. Kicks, hell even grappling (which McGregor isn't really known for but has WAY more experience than Mayweather does) would turn the needle in Conors favour.

yeee boiiiii

>or is it just pure money
of course

even mcgregor knows he will get destroyed

>>76772722
This fight has been hypothesized for like a year now. If there was any chance it was happening, Floyd would have been preparing for a long time now. Its not like he is showing up with only a month or two prep, same for Conor.

Mayweather wins in a straight up boxing fight, Conor has a chance in the early rounds to do some freak show exchange to hurt Mayweather to where he has an actual chance to not just get danced around for ages.

I'd be seriously impressed to see Conor have good footwork by August, otherwise its going to be a joke.

McGregor will knock Mayweather out.

He's quicker, younger, stronger and has zero pressure on him. One haymaker and Gayweather is on the canvass.

>>76773071

It didn't prove bjj was the best style because the best boxers in the world weren't participating.

>>76779857
This. The first straight to his grill had him so surprised he was guessing the entire fight. Floyd has great timing and catches people on the target so he doesn't need to launch bombs
