At this point I almost hope McGregor wins because this is a terrible way to break Rocky's record. This is after fighting a WASHED Berto to get to 49 :snoop:

A circus fight being put at the forefront of the sport hurts the sports overall credibility and standing with casuals
I'm not concerned about it, boxing was always half entertainment half sport, it never quite worked like a "normal" organized sport. So I just see the pattern continues...

First time I agree with @patscorpio on anything Floyd related. This fight is a hoax and it's only done because the powers that be see the potential money to be made and opened their checkbook to invest. I will watch it but it's really messed up that this is happening to a long anticipated fight in Canelo vs GGG. Floyd legacy might take a hit on this because he didn't fight a real boxer on his last fight. However the commissions are happy, Vegas is happy and the investors are happy. Fight will make a ton of money. I see Conor getting DQd after being embarrassed. He could not even position himself to outbox Nate Diaz, and you think he gonna be out stepping and setting Floyd up ? This Is Beyond Crazy.

My dude told me that crap last week and Dana just sucked up to Floyd and was happy to get his little cut and help promote this fight. What Dana doesn't see though is the chess match he just lost. My dude said about 75% of UFC fighters have tried to contact Haymon and some other folks just to get in a boxing ring and make more money. They have made formal and informal requests. If you look at Amanda Nunes, she's a pure boxer. Great punching power and moves like a boxer. You're gonna see Lotta UFC fighters trying to eye the boxing water. That's gonna create major issues in the UFC. Conor is the measuring stick now. A Bronze vs Mikey Mouse fight would make some money. Just like a Brone Dillan haw fight just some examples.

The only reason you see Dana in the mix is because he called Haymon and sold it as he can bring his UFC viewers over. His UFC viewers would be willing to buy if the UFC promotes the fight as well. Also, some investors are raping the UFC fighters so they didn't wanna fukk their money up by stepping on Dana.

I have been saying this since last year. Once my dude started making a strong case for that fight, I knew it was gonna be done no matter what. Money talks.


However for Oscar, he is just bitter over the chess move Floyd pulled on him. I don't care about that. I just want the Canelo fight a little bigger. Oscar should push the back for 1 month. That's enough time for the casuals to recover and get enough money to dish out the PPV dough.

My dude told me about this shyt briefly on Monday but I never even cared to even ask him again since he already told me the fight was finalized.

Floyd about to make 150-200+ mil in one night. That's fukk in crazy. That's more revenue than GGG Canelo alone. That gotta hurt. Sucks to be Canelo cuz he admires Floyd and very grateful that he stepped in the ring with him.

Floyd is really not about the legacy at this point unless its legacy in regards to being the richest fighter in history :mjpls:
This guy is getting paid 300M just to step in a ring? :wow:

Plus the money hes gonna make from PPV orders/gate and all that? :wow: he might leave the arena with a billion in one night (Mayweather Promotions money :wow: )

Dana lost because like I said before, McGregor is gonna make a good 100-125m's off this and then hes gonna do this with other boxers. Pacquiao is desperate for a payday you think McGregor cant do something similar with Pacquiao? :francis: . Dana is gonna have to offer McGregor real GOOD money to step in the octagon again because he aint gonna make over 100m to get taught a boxing lesson only to go back to those bloodbath UFC wars for what.. 10-13 million? :mjlol:

If Floyd sets this up correctly it can still be a good show, its a great opportunity to put Tank on the map for casuals, he needs to be on the undercard ASAP

To the people mad @ Floyd for taking this. U have no one to blame but the Floyd haters

They go on and on about him supposedly being trash and saying so and so can beat him. Floyd is an Evil genius and knows people would pay a ton of money to see him lose so he takes advantage of these idiots (who are mainly non black lol). Who wouldn't want an easy 300M haha

If all these people didn't HATE his guts and wanna see him lose this wouldn't even be happening

:russ:Floyd bout to be a billionaire becuz of people who hate him

its the wrong type of attention is bringing..boxing is supposed to be trying to build some stars in this generation post floyd-manny..the good matchups have happened..we have a good amount of FOTY candidates so far and yes more good matchups are happening..the question is will they get the same amount of attention like the whats going on with floyd-conor? no they wont and thats not fair
idk man maybe I care less about casuals opinion than most of you here
they are... well... casuals. Here for the big fights, out for the rest... :yeshrug: I think it's far fetched to say that a circus fight like this hurts the sport. Why would I care about this fight when we got Canelo vs GGG and etc... I think if you look at the whole sport as one monumental brand you got it wrong.

Good for Floyd. Canelo and GGG had ample time to fight each other but insisted on beating up cans (besides Danny) and dodging each other for 2 years. Not Floyd or Haymon's problem.

Golden Boy probably has those n-word emails ready to go :mjlol:
Golden Boy was also promoting the Cotto fight :dead:
