Unless Floyds betting against himself....which wouldn't be smart since most MMA marks are betting Connor. ...this is going to be another boring Mayweather fight....a guy who doesn't show good cardiovascular conditioning after the second round in MMA isn't going the full 12.

I predict Floyd will win in the 1st round.

I'm the definition of the mark that they were thinking of when they booked this fight. I'm somewhere between 99 to 100 percent sure that Mayweather is going to win, but it's stuck in the back of my mind that McGregor is capable of a one-punch knockout if he can somehow manage to land a good shot.

Since it is a boxing match I'm going Mayweather. Conor has to change more about his fighting style than Floyd will and think that will make a difference.

that was much more entertaining than I was expecting it to be. Got my money's worth (1/10th of $100)

Mc Gregor was thinking : "What ? There are more rounds after the third one ?"

McGregor did very well and actually seemed like he got more shine out of this than I imagined he would.

yeah, he didn't embarrass himself or anything. I had Floyd 5 rounds to 4 through 9 (although there was 0% chance Conor was going to win any of the last 4 rounds). Would have liked to have seen the ref let Conor go down on his shield at least once. Although Conor hadn't thrown a single punch in about 30 seconds.

Well it did what it was made to do as absolutely everyone was talking/watching it. Considering Conor was in there with one of the greatest boxers there has ever been, he did pretty well.

I don't believe that Conor did well at all, he had success early but Floyd allowed it to happen.
He gassed way to early and he certainly doesn't have power as they looked the weakest punches I've ever seen in a Boxing ring.
If it was done as a Boxing VS MMA challenge, I would have given him a pass however he was even more arrogant than usual, claiming that he was Boxing and that he would knock Floyd out easily.
If he fights again,then he needs to be careful with his opponent as at the minute I think that a decent journeyman can beat him and then all his fans that believe everything he says will go away.
I also find it insulting that he was very well paid instead of the guys who have paid their dues.
Also WTF was his corner wearing?

Floyd made 300 mil for this....him wearing that ski mask was the most on the nose allegory for this entire thing.
Worst part is Connor kissing his ass in the post fight acting all jovial and showing us this entire thing was another manufactured beef designed to take our money.

Sorry about my ignorance but did he make 300 millions? I mean, his bank account grew about 300 millions more or was that distributed among sponsors and TV and whatever?

I'm serious, bro. I'm not really into boxing or MMA except the occasional big fight but 300 millions sound ridiculous. You could fucking cure cancer with that.
Edit: Just googled THE GREATEST's earnings throughout his entire career: 70 millions. Just wow.
