View Full Version : Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather have ‘agreed a deal’

to stage the fight of 2017, according to a report.

http://cdn-02.independent.ie/incoming/article35382403.ece/6192e/AUTOCROP/h342/Mayweather.jpg

The Sun are reporting that the McGregor and Mayweather camps are set to meet up in Las Vegas in the coming days, with a deal for the duo to fight edging closer in recent days as possible dates have been finalised.
McGregor pulled out of a Q&A event with fans in Dublin scheduled for this Friday after organisers confirmed ‘an unavoidable schedule change will see Conor McGregor in Las Vegas at the time of the event’.

Now the latest report suggests McGregor will be filming an anti-bulling video in America this week as part of the deal that will give the green light to the Mayweather showdown.
The Nevada Sport Commission fined McGregor after he was deemed to have thrown a bottle in the direction of opponent Nate Diaz ahead of their UFC showdown showdown last year, with the Irishman’s gesture to take part in the film appearing to be part of a charm offensive to win backing from the Commission for the fight to take place.

The Sun are reporting that a source from the Straight Blast Gym has confirmed that an agreement is in place for the fight to take place.
“Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather have agreed a deal to fight and have both settled on their respective fees,” stated their source.

“The contract hasn’t officially been signed yet because of a third party hold-up but all the details have all been agreed on. The fight could even be announced within two weeks.”
McGregor and Mayweather have been involved in several rounds of verbal sparring over recent months, with both clearly keen to hype up an event that could break box office records if it is confirmed.

While this would be McGregor’s first professional boxing match, interest in the event is already huge and the Dubliner appears to be getting into shape after he posted this video of his sparring session last week.

Conor McGregor contractually forbidden from ‘going rogue’, throwing elbows or kicks at Floyd Mayweather

It appears that Floyd Mayweather insisted on pure boxing rules for his fight with Conor McGregor, and it will cost Conor a lot of money if he goes off script.

https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/UY8IBPi0d8FtCANri_ABFklNNmA=/0x0:4967x3311/920x613/filters:focal(2087x1259:2881x2053):format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/55268803/622492230.0.jpg

If Conor McGregor decides to throw a little MMA into his August 26th boxing match with Floyd Mayweather, it will hit him very hard in the wallet. At yesterday’s conference call announcing the bout, UFC president Dana White made it clear that his lightweight champion is contractually forbidden from throwing kicks and elbows, or “going rogue”, as it was stated:

“There is no way that will happen. That is absolutely in the contract, number one.”

“Number two, this is a boxing match under the rules of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. When you talk about a guy like Floyd Mayweather, the lawsuit if that ever happened...”

“You all know how much Conor likes money. Conor would depart with a whole lot of money if that ever happened.”

Mayweather insisted on rules that stuck as pure to boxing as possible, which isn’t surprising. As reported earlier, the 12-round bout will take place at 154 pounds, and will be contested with 10-ounce gloves. It will have a boxing undercard that will be booked by Mayweather Promotions, and will air on Showtime pay-per-view.

I just think it's a little strange BT Sport are promoting it on their Twitter. I know they're contracted with the UFC but would still be a bit strange for them to promote something on SBO.

Anyway, if Conor wins can you just imagine how much he'll be able to demand for a fight in the UFC at the end of the year?!

only way Conor wins is he gets really aggressive early on & lands something lucky-ish that hurts like no other. i would absolutely lmfao if somehow he won. i had to laugh that Floyd really had to put in contract for McGregor not to do MMA techniques. i think that goes without question.

i got no faith in it one bit for a lucky punch for Conor. Canelo caught him at times like others. hes just rolls with the punches so well. plus that was a fight Canelo really shouldnt have been in but money reasons back then. still wouldnt matter if it happened around this time instead though. even Maidana cracked him pretty well a couple times but that was just Mayweather willing on rare occasion to take a chance/his opponent lightly. like in the Cotto fight. i dont see him doing that again. i found it odd when he did that in those fights.

One Advantage For McGregor

http://i.imgur.com/d64vvbm.jpg?1

According to Showtime executive vice president Stephen Espinoza, Conor McGregor is allowed to throw a superman punch against Floyd Mayweather. The move that was coined in kickboxing has become commonplace in MMA, but it’s one that ‘Money’ won’t have seen before:

“That’s well within the rules. A back fist probably wouldn’t be, but there is a lot of different things that can be thrown to throw off timing,” Espinoza said. “I can guarantee Floyd has never seen someone coming and throwing a Superman punch.”

22-06-2017, 11:21 AM
I would like to see Conor win but when you look at this logically he doesn't have much of a chance. Mayweather, the most defensive fighter ever against a guy who's only hope is a knockout punch. There is no doubt Mayweather would outbox Conor in a 12 round fight, here are a few ways i think Conor can and why he could win -

Speed. Floyd is ageing, so he naturally would have lost some pace. Conor is at his peak physically.

Movement. Conor needs to dance around the ring like a Ballerina, he cannot let Floyd become comfortable.

Cardio. Conor needs to be 100%, throughout.

Defence and discipline. Conor must NOT go balls to the wall and leave himself open, Floyd will beat him down and knock him out when he feels like it if he does. Conor must keep a good guard and pick and choose his moments carefully.

Pre Fight -

Conor needs to be Conor x100 throughout the build up, only the Notorious one can play somebody at their own game, better.

Overall, Conor does have a chance all be it a small chance. I'll be enjoying it for the spectacle it is and view as a bonus if Conor does win.

Niamh.
22-06-2017, 11:23 AM
Yeah agree with all of that, there's a few little things that might help like he will probably move differently to boxers that Floyds faced, I really would love if he beat him but it's unlikely but I have everything crossed that he shocks the world :laugh:

Floyd has more to lose imo. He doesn't need the money (although he'll earn a massive amount for this fight) and he won't want to make his 49-0 record 50-1, especially not to a MMA fighter. Financially it's a win/win, but i can assure Floyd would be devastated if he were to lose his unbeaten record in most likely his last ever fight!

First Date Officially Announced For McGregor-Mayweather Press Conference Tour

The official date for the first Conor McGregor/Floyd Mayweather press conference has been released. This will make exciting news for those excited about the pre-fight entertainment. The tour kicks off next week on July 11.

This news will be hugely exciting for fans of the fight. As we know by now, both Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather are two of the most entertaining men in the fight industry.

Quick wit and heaps of arrogance can be expected from this upcoming tour. We’ve seen McGregor slay opponents on the mic ever since his arrival to the UFC. Floyd Mayweather’s cockiness also makes for great entertainment.

The tour will officially kick off at the Staples Centre in LA next Tuesday.

http://i.imgur.com/F4kexnW.jpg?1
For those of us on this side of the pond, the London show is expected to take place on July 15 in Wembley.

It’s also expected that there will be tour dates in between in New York, Toronto and Houston, though official dates are yet to be announced.

It’s not yet known as to whether or not tickets will be complimentary for the events. This is rather worrying as who knows what prices may be charged.

Still, this is sure to be one of McGregor’s most entertaining press tours to date.

I've never watched Floyd pre fights before but Conor always acts like that before fights, no matter who he's fighting, I don't think he's really hated any of his opponents, a few of them have probably hated him though. It seems like both of them have a similar out look though, I think they both know that none of them is going to get in the others head, seems like the competition is just who can out do the other in the trash game

Brother Leon
14-07-2017, 02:56 PM

It's not surprising really. I think Conor most definitely grew up admiring Floyd as an athlete and a lot of his showmanship is inspired by Floyd himself. For Mayweather, it's just a final payday and opportunity to retire 50-0.

:worry:

If he goes the full 12 rounds it'll be a win for him really. It's kind of lose lose for Floyd though when you look at it (a part from all the cash of course) If he beats him easily, his 50-0 that beats Rocky Marciano's record will always be tainted and people will say that it shouldn't count because Conor isn't even a boxer but if he doesn't beat him easily then people will say that he struggled against a guy that isn't even a boxer. Where as if Conor wins he'll go down in history and if he loses people will say but yeah he's not even a boxer so that was expected :laugh:

You know after seeing a couple of training and sparring videos i really can't see Conor taking it.He'd have to K.O Floyd,He has the power without a doubt but he's gonna struggle to hit Floyd.He won't win on points because imo he doesn't have the head movement or speed.In boxing Floyd is on a totally different level.The guy is a defensive genius and Conor will really struggle to score.

Lasting the 12 rounds would be a victory also though even though he wouldn't technically win

Conor done about as well as he could, but Floyd really could have ended it anytime he wanted after the 5th round or so, so reaching the 10th round doesn't mean much to me. I'm more impressed that he manages to hit Mayweather a fair bit..although Floyd didn't really feel any of it after the first two rounds.

George Foreman :hee:

“I was awfully surprised because he was able to hit Mayweather with punches like no one has done,” Foreman told Omnisport via Yahoo.

“He didn’t put a lot of shoulder into him, just laid those hands on the right spot. Did an excellent job. “I’m shocked. I’m still shocked. He frustrated Mayweather, who had to turn into a George Foreman/Mike Tyson-type fighter. “The only thing that got him was fatigue. Going 12 rounds is a hard thing to do in boxing.”

“He doesn’t have anything else to prove. He fought Mayweather and he couldn’t use anything of his professional skills”He had to drop down a level. That’s like saying, you can beat me but I can’t fight. So why come back again?

“He can draw a crowd. He doesn’t need boxing. Boxing may need McGregor.”
