is anyone paying attention to this circus? conor should have dropped his belt if he had plans of switching sports. 4 titles, no defenses

embarrassing "acting" just to create some sort of publicity.
Im so cynical now about this sport, that I honestly think its all arranged and setup well in advance and they pretend to hate each other etc for the buildup to create the hype and maximize sales.
Its as real as the stories in the WWE imo.
I definitely enjoy boxing, I'm really looking forward to Golovkin vs Alvarez, but this one I have no interest in. I want to see real fighters with a career ahead of them. Not a trash talking retired former champion and a trash talking clown that's never laced up. I don't believe McGreggor has the boxing skills to outwit Floyd and get a knock out, or win on points. Floyd is basically going to be a dodge artist that will flurry in the final seconds to get points and frustrate Connor. The only hope of entertainment will be if Connor gets so frustrated he spears Floyd and knocks him out with some ground and pound haha
see you say he's running, I say he's controlling the engagement. He fights his game and only his game. I don't really like that style of fighting but it is effective. He consistently controls the pace of his fights and generally has superior mobility. Not everyone is going to fight like tyson or golovkin. There's a reason he's had better longevity than other more aggressive boxers like pacquiao, he doesn't generally try to stand and trade with people.Mayweather is a huge pussy. Every time McGregor started to get an angle, he would turn his back to him, and present him his ass. He should have been hit with point deductions for every round, or McGregor should have elbowed him in the back of the head for it. I'm sure it was intentional strategy from his trainers, but it makes him look like the pussy he has always been.

Yeah that was stupid, but at the same time Mcgregor was fucking useless in the clinch-when they actually did clinch, mcgregor was throwing pitter patter hooks and uppercuts. His output was good but the amount of actually significant strikes he landed wasn't as much as mayweather.From what I saw Mcgregor threw one really good uppercut early in the fight and then eschewed that for the same stupid pawing jab/left straight combo he always does, with an occasional hook to the body later in the rounds. Mcgregor was also being a dirty fuck by rabbit punching him, hammerfisting on occasion and using forearm strikes (all of which are illegal). He was called on it multiple times by the ref. Plus his ass got stopped by a 40 yr old who hasn't stopped an opponent in years. Mcgregor had plenty of opportunities to actually put some power on his strikes but instead he decided to headhunt for the majority of the fight or play pitter patter against mayweather's guard. The commentators even said that Mcgregor wasn't really utilizing enough power to hurt mayweather. The difference in application of power became way more significant in the last 3-4 rounds when mayweather started to land consistent heavy shots on mcgregor, and mcgregor could barely throw a decent jab or straight.I'm not talking about moving around the ring, or clinching, like most fighters. I'm talking about turning 180 degrees and presenting your opponent with your backside while guarding the sides of your head. It was pathetic to watch, he should be embarrassed. He was afraid to clinch normally because he and his trainers knew McGregor would own his ass in tight, and break a clinch before the ref could, with massive uppercuts.
It was a non-title fight so mayweather's belt would never have been on the line. Mcgregor's belts are in mma so they were never at risk either. This is what fight fans call a freak fight, like back when Muhammad Ali fought Antonio Inoki in the 70s or how Jon Jones wants to fight Brock Lesnar now. They hyped the crap out of this fight which is why they made so much money, it was super high profile.I didn't watch it, and I'm not generally a fan of fighting. Plus, I have almost zero faith that this is a true contest. I'm quite sure that it's fixed. Being that both get such a good payout from it, it's logical. It's a win for both guys: Mayweather holds his title, McGregor doesn't lose his. And everyone involved makes money.
