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.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
