Topic: Mayweather Vs McGregor: Info and prediction thread - page 2. (Read 11759 times)

They would only do it to cash in more on the hype from the fight that lasted months before the mid-summer fight even started.
I saw an article just yesterday about McGregor wanting a rematch and I would think he would like it in the UFC ring instead of in Mayweather's house again where he knows he can not win in ever.
That would bring in mega money for the rematch and I know there will be a media circus again for that if it does happen before Money Mayweather decides to definitely retire from any ring fighting anywhere anytime.

It is a known fact that McGregor is not known for his stamina,and Mayweather played it smart and when Connor got tired he finished him up and Mayweather started the rumor that he will be stepping up into MMA and if that happens it will be another interesting fight and a big pay day for both of the fighters,McGregor is a stand up fighter and so i would like to see that fight in the UFC.

I dont know why you guys still bumping this thread knowing that the fight was over for how many months already.Theres no need to recall since there is already a clear winner on here which i do somehow presumed already before the fight. Mayweather do have all the advantage over Mcgregor since this is his own battlefield.If this being done on MMA then we would really see what would be the result too.

As predicted months ago... this fight was meant to happen. I knew it was going to be 2017, but september, not this soon (August 26th)

This will be the biggest fight ever in terms of numbers. Expect insane gambling to happen that night.

Will Mayweather win as expected? Will McGregor pull the biggest upset ever and make a lot of people rich in case you bet for a McGregor win? Let's find out. My money is on Mayweather as usual. It worked 49 times, it should work again. Anything can happen in the sport of boxing tho, which is what makes this fight interesting, to see if McGregor lucks out and uses his power to KO him. I think his possibilities for an upset will get increasingly harder the longer the fight goes on. Mayweather typically tests the opponent for some rounds then proceeds to perform surgery on him, so McGregor needs to find a way o stop the fight quick.

Mayweather has a great advantage to McGregor in terms of punching and dodging skills. Mayweather is a genius in boxing even though his way of fighting is dodging and counter punching. Boxing is far different to MMA, even though McGregor is stronger in physical strength to Mayweather but still he didn't a good boxing skills. So my bet will goes to Maywether and this will be an easy win.

First off, the fight was over, why are people still interested in continuing this thread. Probably if you guys want to recommend a career path for Connor why not make a new thread for him, eh?

About your WWE recommendation, that is shit. WWE is fake and you want a good fighter to just act? What a waste of talent that would be.

If he wants to take this path and milk his popularity then its better for him to go WWE. They can build him a good story line and I'm sure a lot of fans will buy tickets even if its super expensive just to see him and his big mouth. LOL. The Paulie fight would be funny as hell and hardcore fans will not buy into this. I'm sure Paulie would love to kick Conor's ass for real money. But nah, I wont be interested to watch. Its gonna be another circus for all we care.

I think it's going to be a rough path for Conor if he wants to pursue a profesional boxing career starting at age 29... even if he is a MMA champion, he needs a lot of training to excel against top boxers.

I believe he can milk his fame and get tons of money in superfights where there is a lot of drama involved, for example a Malignaggi fight would definitely be a great success financially.

With 0 years experience in boxing ring mcgregor got the balls and able to land 111 punches for 10 rounds against seasoned,hall of famer,world champions,title holders namely  mosely,hatton,delahoya,cotton,pacquiao and marquez.all of them can hardly landed a hundred punches on mayweathers head. Great job connor.

He's done. This fight is done and a rematch is very unlikely. Connor should stay away from boxing and shouldn't juggle between ghe two contact sports he's tried. Very few excelled in any two sport. Even michael jordan realized this after his short stint as a baseball player

I thought about that too, I just think he doesn't need to earn more money with his fights and it's just going to be upright scripted if you ask me. 50 - 0 is already an awesome number for him to be in the real retirement stage, he wouldn't have another match anymore. He doesn't even need the money nonetheless, Mayweather has all the material things at his disposal.

Mayweather-McGregor Gate Falls Short of May-Pacquiao Record

Two weeks prior to the event, Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe told reporters that ticket sales for the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Conor McGregor fight, which took place on August 26 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, were on a pace to break the all-time boxing gate record - which is held by Mayweather's 2015 showdown with Manny Pacquiao.
"Right now, we have over $60 million in the box office," Ellerbe said.
"And you tell me, what part of that remotely looks like ticket sales are slow. This isn't a damn Rolling Stones concert. That's the only thing that sells out in seconds. When you are talking about tickets going from $500 to $10,000, that's an expensive ticket. So you have every CEO from every major company. You know, guys, it takes time to plan and get it together."

But the information provided to Ellerbe was not accurate, as the Nevada State Athletic Commission confirmed to multiple outlets that Mayweather-McGregor brought in a gate of $55,414,865.79 in ticket sales.
The record is still held strong by Mayweather-Pacquiao with $72,198,500 - and that contest took place at the smaller MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Mayweather-McGregor still brought in  major money and the live gate figure is by far in second place - blowing out Mayweather's 2013 fight with Canelo Alvarez by more than $35 million ($20,003,150).
Mayweather-McGregor had an official attendance of 13,231 (13,094 sold and configured to seat 17,698) - a few thousand short of a sell-out, but many had felt the tickets were heavily overpriced. In the other corner, Mayweather-Pacquiao sold all 16,219 tickets the minute they went on sale.
But Mayweather-Pacquiao had over six years of hype, while Mayweather-McGregor was putting together in a few short months.
In terms of pay-per-view figures, it's going to be close. Mayweather-Pacquiao generated a record 4.6 million buys - a figure that nobody expected to be broken for a very long time - but Mayweather-McGregor is still trending to fall down in the mid-4 million range - which is remarkable when considering the short time span of pre-fight promotion for the contest.

I think he's just toiling with the minds of the rest of us in the world. He's making serious market from us by promoting dull games with trash talk so he can milk us and he's succeeded in a number of times that's why he will not go for a rematch because they won't sell so he will probably look for another trash talker and they'd hype a new fight perhaps.

There would never be a rematch in my opinion because Mayweather doesn't need it anymore and that match made him lots of money and it's just one game for him. It was obvious that he would win knowing that he's 49-0 before the match happened and probably he wanted to make his 50th match to be an amazing one or a unique one and that's what he did.
