(albeit at $100 or more on ppv) without even watching the fight, i can tell you exactly what is going to happen. floyd will carefully outbox conor very easily and stay out of harm's way the entire fight...most likely running as well in order to secure the lopsided win. yes, conor has power, age, height, southpaw and a puncher's chance but all of that can't make up for his lack of experience in a boxing ring.

Also the fact that Conor couldn't even really outbox Nate Diaz. It is a complete joke that both fighters are doing. They really don't hate each other. It is all hype to get Floyd one more $100 mill payday and Conor more money that the Ufc won't give him under a regular fight. It's also a nice way that Conor can continue to hold on to two belts without fighting a legitimate challenger in his own sport. Dana is cool with it because he is protecting his cash cow since he only has one major ppv draw right now. And I am sure he is probably going to get half of Connor's purse. Just my opinion.

The good news is Ken Burns is doing a two part four hour documentary on Muhammad Ali. The bad news is it won't be released until 2021.

to be quite honest, the pre-fight hype will be much more entertaining than the actual fight itself.....and at least that will be free. lol.

Why? It's not a legitimate fight. It's a carnival sideshow in which McGregor would get destroyed. He's a terrible boxer.

exactly....how this mismatch can even be licensed is mind boggling. if anything, it should just be an exhibition fight or something with some of the proceeds going to a charity of each fighter's choice.

That's a good idea, then Conor could go all Thunderlips and do a takedown followed by a few Hammerfists. That would be his only chance. He'd get absolutely schooled by the sweet science if he just boxes.

That bit in Rocky 3 would probably be more entertaining then Floyd-Conor.
