These are the only ways it could happen. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that in a real MMA fight Floyd would have about a .0001% chance. Virtually zero. Either way it's not competitive or intriguing. I've got it, a double feature! First McGreggor plays a round of golf against Rory McIlroy, and then(because he has to be the main event) Mayweather has a tennis match with Roger Federer. Those would be great matchups of some of the best athletes in the world in their respective disciplines battling it out right?
I think if Floyd spent a solid year on takedown/ kick defense and was able to keep it standing for a couple rounds, just about anybody in his weight class has a high likelihood of getting KTFO.
Agree. McGreggor got exhausted and was unable to defend himself, but he still didn't look really close to knocked out, even with so many hard and clean punches landing. Floyd was never a knock out artist, and his hands have gotten brittle over the years. He is an accurate puncher, but when you have to deal with kicks and takedowns, your stance changes and you have to think about and sense so many other things, that you can't utilize pure boxing the same way as in a boxing match.Really? Because he couldnt manage to knock Mcgregor out n a boxing only match. 9th round tko

Exactly. Lets see Floyd take a couple good leg kicks from a Muay thai guy and see how well he punches
For another $300 million, or better yet a billion dollar, 3 fight contract I bet he would do it, win or lose. He still has his perfect boxing record.
I dunno. When Maywether turns it up he knocks people out. I think he went easy on Mac personally, maybe for betting purposes. Who knows.Really? Because he couldnt manage to knock Mcgregor out n a boxing only match. 9th round tko
He would do just fine. I've trained in many forms of martial arts, but boxing is my favourite fighting style. I would take on training partners just punching (knee surgery ruined my kicking ability at the time) and them allowed to kick. I would just laugh off their kicks to my body, they couldn't even land kicks to my head. One of them was a Oceania shotokan karate champion and the other a coke head pro Muay thai fighter, before you think maybe they just didn't know how to kick. Once I'm inside of your kicks, you can't even knee effectively because your to busy dealing with my punch speed.
Next bit is not directed at you in particular HH.
It amazes me how many mma fans though McGregor had a chance in the boxing ring, but are so sure mayweather can't compete in the cage. You think he has never trained in martial arts before, you think he hasn't been training for the possibility of this for the last couple years. Floyd's dedication to training is what made him one of the greatest boxers of all time, in the next six months he would be able to soak up all the skills that take the average person years to learn.
Looks like Connor lost his cool and may be in some considerable legal trouble now.

There's an arrest warrant out for McGregor and his plane isn't allowed to take off. That was a really shitty thing he and his shit head buddies did. Artem Lobov is now off of the fight card and I imagine he'll be cut from the UFC.
