Mayweather V Mcgregor

Deleted member 1030 · 26 August 2017

Some people are calling it the greatest fight ever, others are calling it a circus. Floyd Mayweather, greatest boxer of his generation, will be fighting UFC champion Conor McGregor, who has never boxed professionally.

What do you think? Is it fight or farce? Will you be watching? Will it open the way for other crossover fights (Anthony Joshua has already said that he would fight an MMA champion)?

I imagine you packed quite a punch

You're right though - professional boxing, in general, is a three-ring circus.

I think a lot of money will be made?

* not quite sure how or from whom but I'd be beaten to a pulp for $100m, so I guess I do have a price after all

Yeah, it would buy an awful lot of painkillers

It would last a couple of mins tops. And then you get a cheque so large you can afford the down payment on an small island. Yep. I'll submit to that

But isn't this the logic of big fights?

To whip up the competitors, stoke up controversy and emotion, pile on the superlatives - to get attention. Publicity. Numbers... And then make a shed load of money off two over-size novelty meatheads knocking chunks out of each other. For money. Isn't it something like that?

Well, when you put it like that....

Usually... well, sometimes... the fighters aren't novelty meatheads but well-trained, talented pugilists, but I take your point.

I was in a boxing match once but I got disqualified for using my head. I didn't turn up.

I've been involved in Boxing Day 36 times. Kaz only 33 times, she is a lightweight. I am the Boxing Day champion of our house.

Sorry I did mean to post something serious.
Will this fight be purely boxing?
