Will he remain...

This is by far the easiest payday in the history of life. It's like LeBron 1 v 1 vs Cam Newton in basketball with LeBron getting a $250M payday. What a completely stupid event and a total mockery. Shows how stupid the average person who would pay more than a dime to see this ridiculous showing. Mayweather is a punk and a boring fighter who would get destroyed by any fighters from yesteryear, but I will say he's a damn good businessman and I can respect that about him. Making $250M to do literally nothing but showcase his expertise against an amateur in the same field for 36 minutes or less.

 

Sorry for the rant, but it's all the truth and the reality of this dumb fight.

It's a boxing match. Mayweather is undefeated. Connor has 3 losses in his own sport (should have been 4 with the second Diaz fight). This fight will be a worse showing than Mayweather-Pacquiao. Mayweather will clown him for 12 rounds and lose via unanimous decision and it will cost you $100 and 40 minutes of your life.

Bottom line: Connor has absolutely zero chance of winning this fight.

I give Conor a 20% chance to win in the first round. It goes down 5% each round after. Basically, if it goes 5 Conor has lost.

i prefer MMA to boxing but like boxing. I WANT Conor to win but don't think he will. I'll be happy if Conor avoids looking like a fool. I also have no qualms about ordering this fight. I buy every UFC ppv. I expect to be entertained all night and am fine with spending my money that way.

Everybody is doubting McGregor and stating he'll get knocked out easily. I don't know... the mere fact that 95% of the planet is picking Floyd and uttering he doesn't stand a chance. I sense an epic upset coming.

Also remember, Mayweather is 50, hasn't fought since 2015, and 8 ounce gloves play a factor.

I don't disagree. I'm still going for the pure boxer though.

In boxing, it should be Mayweather pretty easily, but if it was in MMA, then McGregor would end it quickly (which is why it was stupid for McGregor to sign on for a boxing match with Mayweather - other than for the paycheck, that is).  Since it's boxing, Mayweather wins it late or by easy decision. 

With that said, McGregor does have a chance if he can connect on Mayweather early.  He definitely has the power to put him down.  But Mayweather is too good of a defensive fighter, so I doubt it happens.  I will also say that McGregor will probably come at Mayweather with some unconventional angles that could possibly confuse Mayweather early, so there is a slight chance.  I guess I'm saying that McGregor's only chance is to find a way to end it early with his power, otherwise, it will easily go Mayweather's way.

He's not 50.

Those doubting MacGregor may be shocked. Connor may not win but he is going to make it interesting.

While MMA is entirely different than boxing, Connor carries much more weight in his punches than Floyd.

Mayweather is going to dance around and rack up points like he always does and Connor is going to go after him unlike most of Mayweather's previous opponents. This is going to leave McGregor exposed to a KO, or he is going to land a huge blow and knock Mayweather out.

I'd be heavily surprised if this goes the distance, Connor doesn't seem to be the type of guy to sit back and play for points, he knows he'll lose that way.

Anyone thinking Mcgregor has a chance needs to have their head examined.  This is his first professional boxing match. Men with multiple professional fights, years of boxing training couldn't beat Floyd. Mcgregor is slow and won't touch him. People saying he punches harder than are wrong too. Mcgregor punches the same as all MMA fighters...Floyd punches like a boxer and I guarantee it's harder than his. Mcgregor is going to get his ass kicked tonight.

He won't get KO'd probably. Mayweather has no reason to go for a KO and isn't a power puncher anyways. Mayweather can just do a 36 minute dance and come out with the win and $250M.

 

It's literally comparable to LeBron vs. Cam 1 v 1 in basketball. Cam is elite in football and LeBron is elite in basketball. If they go against each other in either sport it's going to be an absurdly stupid mismatch. Just like Mayweather is elite in boxing and McGregor is elite in MMA (supposedly, I don't watch it or follow it so I don't really know). They are two completely different sports and have no correlation. I guarantee you there are guys at my boxing gym that are better boxers than McGregor and would fair better than him against Mayweather, and they'd still get killed too.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
