Who knows where online you can stream Bellator live today.

It's going to happen. Money money money is what it's about. It's a business. You can't seem to work it out.

I've heard whispers that Floyd had blown though a heap of the cash he has made so more will help him.

Connor wants it because worst case he will still make more in this one fight than the rest of his career in the UFC combined.

Mcgregor likely won't get KOed in round one. Floyd isn't a knock out artist and has fucked hands. The very likely outcome is Floyd just mesmerizes him and taps away at a decision win. If it's a KO it's going to be Conor.

You seem to just read what you want. I never said Conor is going to hand with Floyd. In fact I've said the opposite will happen all along so stop talking your usual crap.

Cow rooter; why doesn't the UFC want McGregor fighting Mayweather? Because it will hurt the UFC's and McGregor's brand if he gets his arse handed to him!

Wait till Mayweather is washed up, then they'll allow it.

Mayweather is likely washed up. He is in his 40s. Lol.

A loss doesn't hurt shit for Connor or The UFC. It's a MMA fighter losing a strict boxing fight, fighting one of the best ever . It's what you would expect, it's what should happen. Connor has zero to lose and a massive amount to win. He has a punchers chance.

Anyone with half a brain knows in a MMA fight Floyd would be very lucky to last a minute. When Connor loses to Floyd in a boxing match on a decision everyone will claim Connor would destroy Floyd in MMA. Connor will straight away call Floyd out for a rematch with some MMA rules allowed. That I don't believe will have a chance of happening.

Cow rooter. That's a new insult. Don't knock it unless you've tried it.

[MENTION=6722]Bazza20[/MENTION]; go find out when McGregor comes off contract with the UFC please. That might be your best chance of it happening in the short term.

No quality insults like cow rooter this time. Sad.

UFC are likely to get onboard anyway for the dollars. If they don't Connor thinks he can use the Ali Act and go at it alone.

Section 10 of the Ali Act states that no promoter is permitted to have a contract with a boxer that has clauses preventing the boxer from participating in a professional boxing match against another boxer under contract.

OK. But very hard to trust anything Conner McGregor says. Isn't the UFC run more like WWE, with absolute rights over their Fighters, that's why so many of them are angry at the UFC's extensive control.

Conner McGregor is probably just publicity seeking or trying to apply leverage against the UFC.

I'm sure the UFC have had their Marketing Gurus analysing whether a McGregor/Mayweather bout will be good for them. If they determined it would, I'd say they (UFC) wouldn't have been against it from the start.

Dollars talk. Connor has already shown he will go after the money Vs the easy fight. WWE is acting? We are talking fighting here.

It will happen. UFC marketing gurus should be sacked. It's been a terrible start to the year for them with no massive fights booked. They have dragged GSP out of retirement. They'll be looking for the dollars to keep their job.

I preferred my pet name for you.

You are misunderstanding my post. I like LPS, we have a few good discussions on here, there was no moral high ground. I just wanted a better insult than cow rooter.

 

[Stiffy]

It's gonna happen.

 

[Bazza20]

Stiff what drug testing is there in boxing?

Noticed that since UFC introduced WADA testing, early to mid thirties is when a lot of guys were in their peak to now with strict testing that age looks really old. A lot of blokes aged very quickly.

I'm guessing they regret it's introduction.

Sorry I missed this post.

I remember the various State Athletic Commissions ran drug testing for Boxing. I just googled and found articles that say only one fight had Olympic Style drug testing and that only occurred as both Boxers agreed to it:

"Since then, Mayweather-Mosley is the only fight in the United States to have had OST."

http://www.maxboxing.com/news/max-b...or-olympic-style-drug-testing-for-every-fight

Another article stating that the WBC have started Olympic Style testing

Looks like they are going the same way as the UFC - trying to at least appear better tested.

 

[Bazza20]

What are your thoughts now?

Floyd claiming a date is set. Mcgregor putting the same date on his Facebook.


Dana saying that he won't stand in the way and he thinks it will happen.


I know that it's certainly not 100% yet but it's looking more likely


The one i worry about backing out is Floyd. He has the most to lose by taking the fight. He shouldn't lose but if he did it's a massive blow to his undefeated legacy plus he is getting old now.

Mcgregor is in the no lose situation. Massive dollars and if you lose it's not even your sport.

 

[Stiffy]

Yeah, I didn't realise Mayweather had a problem with Southpaws. McGregor being a Southpaw and Mayweather getting old makes it that bit more likely to happen.

It wouldn't happen if McGregor were a cert to get an arse whippin. That'd harm the UFCs' and McGregor's brand too much.


Mayweather has said he hasn't been in a Gym since the Pacman fight - fool. I want him to slaughter McGregor.

You are looking at this wrong. A loss doesn't hurt Connor at all, he is still as big after the Diaz loss when he went up two weight classes. He is going over to another sport and fighting one of the best of all time. Connor isn't even a boxer. Anyone with half a brain knows Connor wins easy in a MMA fight.

Mayweather has everything to lose in this, if anyone is backing out its mayweather. Connor and the UFC don't have anything to lose and plenty of dollars to make.

It's not about McGregor really, it's the UFC who haven't allowed this to happen. Why? Because MMA (and the UFC) don't want to do anything which might give Boxing a "leg up". If Mayweather slaughters McGregor then you run the risk of Boxing PPV's numbers and Advertising revenue increasing possibly/probably at the expense of the UFC. Bit like Soccer and Aussie Rules or Rugby League or Rugby Union etc.

Dana has already said he is not going to stand in the way and thinks it will happen. It's not at the expense of UFC. Anyone watching knows it's a different sport and mcgregor should lose. If anything it promotes the UFC and makes Connor even bigger.

Your afl example goes against you. Israel Folau went to afl for the dollars. He was absolutely terrible, Wayne Carey even said he wouldn't get a game for Wagga twos. Has it hurt his profile in rugby? Everyone knows he is a rugby freak.

Floyd is the one with everything to lose in this. He will be the one who shuts it down.

Do you ever take the temperature of your Cows? If so how?

You're just fucken with me you Bovine Molester'er!
