    Make no mistake, I'm excited for this fight if it even lives up to a portion of the hype which I'm sure it will.

    Have to give McGregor credit for being willing to step up to the plate.

    For even 1 million dollars, I'll fight Money

    The press conferences are turning out to be quite a spectacle themselves. This event is interesting for the sheer size of itself.

    Mcgregor gonna get schooled.
    Imagine what would happen to him if he got into the ring with manny, canelo, maidana, mosley etc etc. He would get knocked the fuck out.
    Now imagine how Floyd made those same guys look.

    This fight is not going to be close

    Sadly mayweather would not have the balls to step into the octagon. I dont like either of these 2. Hope they knock each other the fuck out.

    A boxer would die in an MMA fight. All of boxing comprises of one very specific skill that's not even that important for MMA.

    You can't even say with certainty that a boxers stand up would be better than every MMA fighter as boxing ignores all kicks, knees and elbows. I assume Muay Thai and Tae Kwon Do could match up well with a boxer standing up.

    Yea I can't think of any boxer that has had true success in MMA. The closest might be holly holm. But she also started kickboxing long before MMA and fought at a very high level so she didn't come directly from strict boxing.

    Why would it matter if Mayweather doesn't stand a chance in the octagon?

    They're boxing unless I'm missing something.

    They are just actors in a big game, trying to hype their fight up as much as possible. Whether they win or lose, they will get their millions upon millions and laugh at the whole thing.

    I'd replace the word "actors" with "entertainers ", but yes.

    I don't know about a rematch clause, but apparently there are clauses in the contract that call for huge punishments if McGregor tries to do a non-boxing/MMA-influenced move like a kick or takedown.

    Could he do like a spinning backhand though? would that be legal in boxing? haha

    No, it's not legal to hit someone with the back of your glove. And even if it was legal, it would be super dumb for McGregor to do lol.

    Spoiler Alert for anyone who hasn't watched the Great White Hype: http://www.latimes.com/sports/boxing...717-story.html

    This fight has been following this script so close that they might as well re-release the movie afterwards haha.
