One big joke this Mayweather McGregor fight.
It'll bring a lot of money to both fighters, has increased the profile of MMA, be it in a negative way with the way Conor is acting, but it's exactly that... One big fucking act to sell PPV.
As for winning, Mayweather all day long. He's a schooled boxer, boxing is an art form in itself and based on points scoring, he will win every round.
They are fighting in heavier boxing gloves, designed to protect the opponent. the audiences have seen Conor knocking people out wearing 4oz mma gloves, which are designed to simply protect the hand, not the opponent.
In a street/cage fight it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that the MMA Fighter would win 9/10x
With a quick take down, Kimura arm lock and the boxers arm is snapped off...taking away his best form of attack in seconds.
But in a boxing bout, you can't do that so yea Floyd will win this.
It does however enlighten alot of the boxing audience towards UFC, even with the MMA Fighter losing it doesn't make the sport look bad as the fight was with boxing rules.
Anyone notice the t-shirt Dana was wearing at a press conference?
It said Zuffa Boxing.
As in Zuffa is the company that own UFC and it looks like they may be going into boxing promotions???
If you have been a long time MMA fan you will remember back in the day that Dana White was actually a boxing promoter himself, before buying UFC with the sons of the Italian Mafia Casino dude.
Pure cross PR exercise, McGregor will be schooled.
Almost like watching Citys first team play a NBA team in a soccer game.
NBA fans will become more interested in soccer, particularly Man City. Win/Win.
