Yeah I gotta say this is bs. Aldo just doesn't have a great jaw. We saw it again in his last fight where 1-2 punches took him out again. His style of speed is what keeps him safe mostly but catch him and he's done.
Mate most of these top fights are fixed these days, even in boxing. Where there's huge amounts of money to be made people are easily corrupted. It's all about manipulating the audience, especially in the US.
There's no way they would stage it and have it "so obvious" like you think. Aldo was emotional and wanted to get after Mcgregor.
Yeah I'm not buying that... what's your source for saying "most too fights are fixed"?
So after all his preparation, watching dozens of hours of McGregors fights and his counter punching ability he just runs in to one right off the bat? Don't think so.
Yep exactly what happened
By even in boxing, I hope you mean especially in boxing. Boxing has been corrupt for decades...
A couple of my mates are ex amateur boxers and they won't watch the big fights any more after paying for the PPV Haye-Bellew farce. If you think the same doesn't happen in the UFC which is even more closed door then you're in dreamland, the McGregor-Aldo fight was the most obvious fix you'll ever ****in see. People love Connor, they wanna believe someone can stroll around the ring landing knockout blows when he feels like it. That's how people are fooled cos they wanna believe it.
If this were true, Anderson Silva would've never lost. Dude was the KING of the showcase KO after making a mockery of his opponent.
If they were fixing fights, they would have never put McGregor in with Diaz. They've protected the **** out of McGregor, but they're not fixing fights.
That's extremely one sided and edited. But, those clips do look bad
Totally agree. I can only hope he comes in more polished than that. Other wise it's going to be a short fight lol.
hahaha a "bully"... sure
i'm definitely no fan of Floyd's, but the guy has mad defensive talent...Floyd toys with him for 6 maybe 8 rounds to make it look good, then puts him away...like him or not Floyd is an exceptional talent.
I've seen and watch how Flyod make fun with Manny, and didn't accept a rematch either because he retires and now he accept a fight with a non expert boxer.
yup...that's Floyd.
why rematch someone you beat so handedly and nobody will pay to see again? its a waste of his time to train and take that fight with zero incentive.
you are right conor is the money...I think at least 75% of the ppv will be ufc fans-probably higher than that but at least 75% would be my guess.
thebigt I know you remember Ali back in the day. I remember how many people hated the guy. Loudmouth, showboat know-it-all. Who just happened to be an amazing boxer.
absolutely!!! ali intentionally pissed people off so they would pay to see him lose, but he always won---kinda sounds familiar-eh.
Absolute hey-day of boxing.
yep, this is totally the play. Love me or hate me, you wanna watch me.
the same could be said for ali. trust me back in the day ali was not well liked, people wanted him to get beat up bad--whooped!!!
My boss is in vegas right now, had him put $50 on Mcgregor for me. Fully expecting to be out that money but a guy can dream
I'm not, but I have a few buddies that said they're gunna put some cash on McGregor because the odds. It's like the lotto.
Same here... at first he annoyed me becuase of his general arrogance, but he's done pretty well to back it up, and frankly, he's funny and playing the part to make the money. Can't fault a guy who knows he has a VERY short time to make a lifetime of cash for doing whatever it takes to bank as much as possible. Also gotta respect that he truly puts in work so theres that too.
Well seeing the two of them right next to each other, I think I'm starting to favor McGregor
comparing them side by side you would have bet on saul 'canelo' alveraz killing Floyd...looks can be deceiving.Well seeing the two of them right next to each other, I think I'm starting to favor McGregor
Hahaha I loved that too! But I'm very pro Mcgregor!
better to put $50 on a chance to win big than paying $100 to see what could be one-sided mismatch. Floyd fights are generally boring to watch anyways, but he might be so overmatched against conor that he decides to be entertaining.
Same! This will be far more exciting IMO.
The hype is because it's the two biggest names (and mouths) in competing sports. There's always gonna be hype for months or more leading up to a big ticket event.
see that's the thing, competing sports. the skill set is vastly different and they are fighting in the arena where Floyd has a marked advantage.
Will the fat guy and his Thailand hookers be pay per view? (asking for a friend)
certainly true. but IMO that only adds to the intrigue because... what if???? that tiny little bit of doubt that exists is worth millions (literally)
all you guys who think conor has a chance need to watch this real close....and to think suckers are gonna pay a hundred bucks to see conor get toyed with by Floyd, lol.
As much as I'd love to see Mayweather get his arse kicked, McGregor ain't gonna be the guy to do it. Maybe (MAYBE) if it was a UFC rules fight, but no way he's going to outbox him. I can't wait to see McGregor's percentage after it's over. Anybody want to throw a number out there?
single digit....if Floyd toys with professional boxers he is going to make this conor guy look like a chump.
100% agree. I'd be shocked to see Conor even land double digit punches total.
