TMT Presents : Just broke the PPV records... in the UK (over 1 million buys)

[nyknick]

Call getting backed down by a twenty pound lighter 40 year old, breathing heavy after first round and completely gassed after 5 a big moment brehs

 

[YouMadd?]

Wouldn't go past the first round, It would be just as bad as CM punk stepping into the octagon. All respect to Floyd his name will resonate 50 years from now as another Rocky Marciano. He won't be considered the greatest but he will be up there as a fighter nobody could figure out.

However I feel this is a big moment for MMA. The fact that someone who has never boxed a professional bout was competitive and landed more shots than Manny Pac will tilt younger people who saw this fight towards following MMA more than boxing.

Floyd would likely get rag dolled in the UFC and its pretty obvious judging by how Conor was able to move him and toss him when locked up. None of Floyd's boxing defense would matter in a full fledged fight unless he literally runs away.

This is that moment that moves the needle for the UFC, you may not realize it but believe this is that moment.

R.I.P Boxing 1681-2017

If Tom Brady played basketball he wouldn't be as competitive...

 

[Troublesome]

Exactly and if money was boring Floyd it would go all 12 rounds.

I think MMA comes out a bigger winner last night and really as long as Conor didn't get dominated and Jo's UFC had the most to gain from this.

Had Conor got a lucky shot or pulled off the upset boxing demise would have happened much sooner. But now it will be a slow generational death

Not sure about that. Didn't look like Connor had the conditioning to last 12 rounds regardless of what style Mayweather used. He still would've got knocked out eventually, it just would've been a boring fight.

I agree that UFC will benefit from the fight though.

 

[THE MACHINE]

looks like they're both happy robbing the General Audience
one dude won and break the record for his 50 i don't even know why it's considered
the other dude won the Mayweather sweepstake from welfare few years ago

These dudes about to spend the next few years on some Ghost and Tommy shyt

 

[YouMadd?]

Also it's crazy to see how people are such sore losers and they didn't even take part in the sporting event.


JUST TAKE THE L, YOUR GUY LOST.

 

[David_TheMan]

This is just your shyt unsubstantiated opinion. Obviously I don't agree.

Now you're just putting words in Floyd's mouth to try and bolster your personal opinion. Weak.

Of course eventually if he continues to fight on and on he'll decline to the point where he can't compete. This is captain obvious shyt. You're saying that he's already at that point and I'm saying he doesn't seem to be there yet.

Name a top fighter at 154 that Floyd ever fought, without a catchweight?
Can't think of one can you? There is a reason for that. And there have been good Jr. MWs: Lara, Charlos, Trout, and Andrade to name a few. Never called our there names never tried to fight them and we know why.

Floyd said it himself ringside on a Showtime card he was promoting that he doesn't want to fight actual boxers, he only wanted to fight McGregor.

Floyd knows he is at the point were against real high level boxers, with more athleticism and more energy he wouldn't be able to fight and fight how he wants to fight anymore. Which is why he retired and only came back for this ridiculous exhibition with a 300 mil payday

 

[staticshock]

Most of Floyd fights go like that.

Since when?
Fighters are luck to get more than 3 clean shots on Floyd. He's a defensive genius. Coner tagged him quite a few times

 

[Slystallion]

All that being said I feel normal people who train in boxing going up against karate kids who just do drills without sparring that involves with resistance would get wrecked in real fights

 

[David_TheMan]

N1gga aint no casino letting a pro boxer walk in vs a novice and say here's 500k, Im gonna ko him in the 10th. And the fbi will most certainly be interested in that. Now if u bet on yourself to win is 1 thing, but thats different.

A bet of when you are going to knock someone out is a bet on yourself.
Fighters carrying other fighters is widely known about in boxing.

Why the hell would floyd call out any of those fighters?
You sound irrational
The general public doesn't no who any of those guys are
Floyd fought cotto at 154 no catchweight btw

 

[King Jove]

Now people giving props to Mcgregor for stepping inside a boxing ring vs Floyd?

I'd let Floyd play bongos on my face for $75 million. Da fuq

 

[GodinDaFlesh]

I dunno, dude could legit make a new career off of fighting bums who think they have a chance at beating him. There's still so many idiots willing to pay to see him lose.

 

[Pirius Black]

MMA is where guys who couldn't compete in a boxing gym go to fight for peanuts. Why would any kid go fight for peanuts in the Octagon when boxing is far more lucrative. Secondly, anyone can play the what if game but the fact of the matter is this: a 40 year old with brittle hands almost knocked out a guy who is 11 years younger, 20 pounds heavier. You can take the "moral victory" for MMA while boxing will take the actual victory and more importantly, the bigger bag.

 

[Guess Who]

the difference is floyd actually fought pacquiao with respect. if he would have went head first into manny with no foot movement at all, he gets knocked out. he did that with conor because he didn't respect his boxing skill whatsoever. dude was barely fazed by any of the shyt conor landed. face showed no marks of damage at all. conor may got power in MMA, but in boxing his shyt is barely average.

I tried to explain this to casuals. Boxing power is a different animal. Conor learned last night that MMA power is not boxing power in terms of giving and receiving. I mean c'mon, a 40 year old, rusty Floyd was visibly affecting Conor with JABS. Meanwhile, Floyd walked through Conor's hardest punches. I remember maybe three punches Conor landed that made Floyd pause in the entire fight.

Ever shake a boxers hand? You'll feel how much power these nikkas have just from that alone, even if they're little as fukk.

 

[10bandz]

Conor did better than most expected. Granted, Floyd was also fighting a more aggressive style because he wanted to give fans the KO. He was more prone to getting hit.

This wasn't a joke fight. It was a legitimate fight that took technique and skill to win. It wasn't a clown show like most people had anticipated.

Floyd controlled the fight from start to finish get over it breh
