Marshmallo Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 It'll be either the first or second biggest selling PPV in history, probably first. There's an argument it's the biggest fight ever (I wouldn't support that argument btw). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernJambo Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 It'll be either the first or second biggest selling PPV in history, probably first. There's an argument it's the biggest fight ever (I wouldn't support that argument btw). I could make an argument for biggest fight (pretty much relying on coverage, ticket prices and PPV coverage) but I'd be interested to see someone try and make an argument for best fight ever. Genuinely, I hope McGregor wins just for the scenes. It'll be some laugh, but seriously I can't see it and think of this fight as a glorified exhibition.

Tell me one single reason that has any sort of discernible evidence to support it that Floyd Mayweather (the man with a 49-0 record and known as the best pound for pound boxer there possibly ever has been or will be) will let a guy who has never boxed professionally beat him in a fight, rather than just taking the easy win, making it 50-0 and confirming his place as the greatest ever?It's beyond ridiculous. If McGregor wins it's because he beat Floyd fairly and those who think Mayweather will take a fall in order to get a rematch should have a look at McGregor's fight record - the only guy he's rematched was Nate Diaz and that was because he lost the first fight. Aldo hasn't ever been given a rematch and Alvarez never will, once he's beaten someone he doesn't see the need to do it again. Sure, he might be tempted by the money on offer for a Floyd rematch but I have my doubts he would take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Is anyone calling it the best fight ever? And I don't mean "a boy at my work". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Also, fixing a boxing match is a crime. If Mayweather took a dive in order to secure the money for a rematch he'd be committing a multi-million dollar fraud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcgregor is super confident he can win, and I reckon if he hits Floyd once with that left hand he gets the K.O. Aye the all powerful Mcgregor left hand. Mayweather has been tagged by bigger punchers than Conor and has never went down never mind knocked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Stubbs Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Everyone involved in selling this, from both fighters to slavers like Brendan Schaub, have been ripping the arse out of the idea McGregor can win. I'd guess the odds coming in can be explained by a combination of people being gullible morons and Mayweather's initial price not being particularly worth it for most punters. Wouldn't surprise me if the odds go the other way in the final days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogmc Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Sky have milked this mercilessly as seen by some of the crazy nonsense on here. Its a tribute to their marketing power that this is seen as a sporting event rather than a commercial /gambling event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
