If you're a boxing fan, this whole thing should make you cringe.

Mayweather would absolutely destroy him in a boxing match. We're going to pour hundreds of millions into a fight worse than Mayweather/Pacquiao. Completely sold on them talking shit to each other in press conferences leading up to fight night.

Yeah I never understood this.  I see the appeal of the fight, but the reality is that Macgregor isn't a pro boxer.  And for him to step in the ring with the best boxer right now is just crazy.

Oh yeah, as I say this; I admit I'm going to fall for it, watch all the conferences & pay for the fight lol. But the fight itself should be a shitshow.

I fully expect McGregor to be getting washed by Round 4 & start throwing kicks.

Yup. Mayweather-Pacquiao II would be a way closer fight, it's just that people aren't going to care for it as much as the previous one, even with Pacquiao having a fully healed rotator cuff and coming off of two one-sided wins complete with entertaining knockdowns. And Mayeeather-Canelo II would be a better fight too.

People would watch this but I don't know if it's a sound investment to give Floyd a $100 million guarantee for this. They could cover it, in theory, but I don't see a lot of money being left behind for the promoters putting it on. You'll need at least 2.5 million buys to cover just the guarantees for both fighters, and that number isn't an easy task, no matter who it is.
