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.

If Canelo can't catch him I don't think Conor will Lol

Alverez fought mayweather way to early pushed him just as hard as Cotto did but was only 22 no where near his prime, ****ty timing

[King Gizzard]

Yeah I doubt Floyd would go back now

[Novo]

If Alverez beats GGG would love to see a rematch with Floyd, one more crack but yeah can't see Floyd going for that

[Slevin]

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



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.”

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.

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

Great point! Conor's biggest strength in this fight could be that he isn't a pro Boxer, ironically.

Yeah definitely. It's still highly unlikely but you know, stranger things have happened

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!
