Like for conor
Connor shoupd use trips, and utilize his clinch game
I absolutely cannot stand Tyron "Race Card" Woodley…. Makes me cringe whenever he opens his mouth.
conor
Conor has absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain. His MMA record won't be affected, he will still be the top ranked star in MMA, still the champ, MMA will get even more attention, Boxing numbers will still be dead and even if Conor loses to the arguably best boxer ever in a boxing match. You put an MMA fighter in a boxing ring and limit 90% of their arsenal, you prove to be a better boxer, not fighter
nice, was expecting it to go down at the end of September at the earliest
great promo Dana I'm sold
So hot right now.
There is gonna be some big parties in Ireland.
If I have that wknd off I'll get together with friends and watch it. Good times
So if Conor actually won, I wonder if the rematch would be in May. If it was, it sounds like Conor will be fighting in the UFC before that, at least once and if he won that fight… The rematch would be insane and untouchable.
1st round they feel each other out. Then either McGregor wins by KO in the 2nd or gasses somewhere in 5th-6th round and loses an easy decision
Tyron feeling jealous
the press conference will be better than the actual fight
so conor is going to be boxing? A retired boxer? I know something that isn't interesting, retired boxers and boxing .
49-1 conor will submit that bum inside of 5 seconds and become the WWE world heavyweight champion
Just imagine the press conferences!!! They could be more epic than the fight!
September 16th is the real biggest fight that the world will be watching! Canelo vs ggg!
Floyd via easy/boring decision
this fight is garbage! Canelo vs ggg is the fight that the world will be watching
Brandon Alvarez is that you dela Hoya??
Mr. PoopyButtHole! Canelo vs ggg! real boxing fight! make boxing great again! I know boxing!
please i hope no one get hurt before the fight
Dana is the P4P promoter, Don king #2
It seems being punched in the head all those years is finally affecting Oscars brain
Pretty sure Mayweather will win.
When is the press conference for this going to happen?!?
Guy who is willing to fight anybody anytime. Unless it means defending a belt.
do mma fans really think conor will win or is it just wishful thinking? either way how will conor feel making that much money then going back to the ufc. no way ufc is gonna pay $80 million or whatever he will make
Unless Floyd decides to make it interesting, this fight should last less than 3 rounds. I will watch the replay on YouTube, not paying for it.
E Hobbs or just watch a stream.
mayweather will humble conor with stellar boxing skills
Dam Tyron mad thirsty lol,
Has Chael picked yet?
they should atleast have a couple MMA matches
Watch Mayweather run for 12 rounds and Conor gas out after the third round… I would rather see GGG vs Canelo.
lets not lie now this fight is not even close to mayweather vs pacquiao ppv or money mayweather vs pacquiao is the biggest fight of all time
Jeeper Da FUCKEN Creeper that was dumb
Do celebs ever post comments on youtube? I have never talked to anyone famous or on tv before, online or irl
What an embarrassment.
Floyd could beat Conor with 1 Hand.
I bet my life on Mayweather.
Easiest payday ever!!!
Conor by ko in round 3
Money all day baby Hard work DEDICATION
Great question, Tyron.
All i wanted to see was conor defend his belt!!!
Another win for Mayweather!
Doubt me ye
1-0
booo!!!! conor booo !!!!
You know Vanna White is making Big money off this fight or he would be bad mouthing this match up and down like he has in the past,
believe it!
Floyd 8th round KO
It's going to be the greatest fight of our generation. it will go to the very end. And connor will win by decision. movies will be made. hearts will be broken. But most of all, money will be made (; let's go Connor
Floyd "13 seconds" Mayweather
Charlie Zelenoff vs CM Punk for the co-main
Floyd wins via guillotine choke.
donor wins round 10 via badass-ery
if conor tags floyd, ooooo boy
KO One Round
another thing… this is going to be mcgregor promotions & not the ufc. it's going to be different; u gonna have to get used to it
So is Dana the backup quarterback for the Patriots now?
It will go the distance and hate to say but Conor will lose
i'll catch the replay
but what are they fighting for… what & or who's belt is on the line? what is the motivation for either fighter to really win this fight besides the money, the money that they're already have ones the fight was made. now that's crazy
humbleoak85 The pride of knowing who is the best. That's all we as fighters care about. We want to be the best. In order to be the best, you have to beat the best.
kyle reilly let's hope so… i just wanna see something great & with both fighters motivated, especially mcGregor.
conor show your REAL lifestyle #mayweatherchallenge
King Connor is that guy!!!
"Whats in it for me? half of Mcgerors money !!!"
-Dana White
Now he wants to be Dana's Boy
Mcgregor is officially the richest UFC Fighter
miesha tate needs to be the ring girl.
Dawg that's a great idea
After Floyd fights Conor he should fight Justin Bieber after that. I like Conor but Mayweather will school him.
so Woodley wants to fight Ward? gtfoh Tyrone.
I'm not buying this joke. But floyd wins by unanimous decision. 50-0
I can easily see this happening. Floyd will duck, dodge, and dance. It will be a disappointment. I will eat my words if the outcome is any different.
Relax… Dude what are talking about? Boxing isn't just a sport, its a martial that MMA fighters need to train and that a lot of them don't do very well in when it comes to applying it in MMA. Boxing isn't going anywhere and neither is the sport.
I think Dana White and Mayweather promotions should incorporate after the Mayweather – McGregor fight and form a crossover promotion company that allows professional MMA fighters and Boxers who want to cross compete for larger purses to do so.
Oscar Dela hoya is a hater… He's trying to protect the GGG vs. Alvarez fight cuz he's afraid that it would have a poor draw… Plus Oscar wanted to put the McGregor fight together… lol
I agree with de la hoya on canelo vs McGregor. it'll actually be more entertaining for them to trade shots than seeing McGregor chase Floyd. I hope I'm wrong and McGregor hunts him down.
Anybody that says this will be the best of the best is just DUMB!
a full boxing card is a mistake, pulling in more mma fans with a ufc title or 2 on the line along with this fight and 1 or 2 huge boxing matches would make a lot more sense and really help sell this fight to the mma fans who don't care much for conor or think conor doesn't have a shot.
even getting 1 ufc belt on the line would make a big difference, dropped the ball with this undercard already not having mma, but the main event should still be fun to watch.
no one watches boxing undercards anyway
floyd dont know what he got himself into.
bpad11 McGregor will get embarrassed by a 40 year old whos smaller than him
I hope Conor makes at least $80 million, hate him or love him, he brought more eyes and new fans to MMA than anybody ever
KulinBan777 Conor will only make 50 Max.
Hated Out Yo You have no idea what you're talking about. Conor will make 75+ million Lol
KulinBan777 they said Connor is making 100 million off of this fight
KulinBan777 just Europeans lol
whoa
Floyd will be done, IN ONE!
Conor Mcgregor disqualified for kicking. saved you all the money
Champ…..don't be NOBODIES waterboy……..you are the Champ……you'll get in….
I hope the whole UFC roster is listening. ie DJ Tony
Some of the best fights this year
Dana vs Scott. Make it happen Dana!
DEATH TO ALL CONORSEXUALS
Dana tapped that
erick gomez lol, I doubt it. Her husband is her cameraman. I remember when Rampage did some questionable stuff to her in front of him once & caught alot of flak for it. & he should. That is another man's wife.
easy floyd fight this is boxing… maybe if it was mma gloves
Dana will give more promotion to Mayweather than his own fighters.
Connor 8th round tko via head kick
chase taft spinning heel kick
chase taft lol
49-1 Floyd will be KO'd unconscious
King Ramsay mayweathersexual
I Tink, Derefore I Am LOL Conor Dickriders, McGregor hasn't been in a boxing match since god knows how long ago and he's going against arguably the best boxer of all time. As much as I hate Mayweather, if you think Mcregor is the favorite here you're delusional/know nothing about the sport.
Mcgregor 2nd round KO! No one can handle that left hand. Also, WHO THE FOOK IS DAT GUY!
Joaquin Zamora Nate is natural near 190-200 lb and has the chin to take a sledgehammer so tiny Floyd and him are as comparable as a Lamborghini and Prius
progamer71000 Conor isn't going to hit him youre really ignorant to think he will knock him out ,can't ko someone you can't hit canelo and cotto hit harder and they couldn't hit him and even when they did hit him he took them shots with ease
RIP BOXING 49-1
Who will win? What round?
UFC ON FOX Diaz. 2,3,5
UFC ON FOX Connor 1st round
Call me crazy or whatever you want but Conor McGregor will stop Floyd Mayweather on August 26th. Or the fight will end controversially in a no contest and they will run it back by the years end. I love you KB but where was the question to Dana about a rematch clause?
UFC ON FOX make no mistake he's humble in victory or defeat with that being said Conor round 2 he will figure out the timing and land one on floyds chin, Floyd will look to be wobbled then he will fall get back up and Conor will land 1 more on his chin and that's when Conor wins.
Conor 2nd rd
UFC ON FOX Floyd probably 6th tko if Connor can even last that long
Conor will KO Floyd in the first round. That left hand from Ireland will bury boxe. You cannot doubt Conor(I did doubt him his whole career, not anymore).
Conor will KO Floyd in the first round. That left hand from Ireland will bury boxe. You cannot doubt Conor(I did doubt him his whole career, not anymore).
Your opinion is so strong you had to post the comment 3 times.Nice job pal…
My bad… I am Irish and I was using my left hand(the touch of death) LOLPS. joking I am not Irish.
Conor will KO Floyd ..round1.49-1
Mayweather in the 8th…..
McGregor if it end in the first two. 3-12 Floyd all the way. McGegor needs to turn it into a brawl. He can't beat Mayweather at boxing. 12 rounds is a joke. I can't imagine McGegor winning a single round in points. What I do see possible is an athletic and determined puncher catching an older smaller Mayweather early on. It's possible but still unlikely. 12 rounds is a joke though.
Martin Delbosque you know why?because your a hater…… plain and simple . .the FACT is…. their is 0% chance that no1 buys the pay per view……Because of Actual fans of Combat Sports ..Boxing/MMA etc….And i am 100% certain the event will break every Record… as far as Gate & Pay per view buys. ..
You're, not your.But I agree with you 😀
UFC ON FOX Dana white wins first round throughout twelve Dana white wins every round!
Floyd wins via Mcgregors not fit to be in the same ring. Dana White is actually worse than Don King
I can't wait for this trash to be over with I hope no one buys this fight
Martin Delbosque elite making money for having FUN
100% REALIST comment- .im 90% Irish blood, but CMG has just 1% punchers chance vs P4PKING, CMG boxing skills nowhere near TMT's level, 2 see CMG cocksmokers b serious saying there god, will destroy/win vs TMT shows how uneducated & despicable CMG STANS truly r, simply an overhyped pointless garbage fight 2 ne real/long time fight fan of MMA or Boxing.
+Dale Johnson fun= trash
BEAST MODE FIASCO turning into soap opera while the fans pi k up the tab to water down the art of the sport, whoredom n no heart.
UFC ON FOX I hope Floyd puts a caskets stamp on this fight so mma will be mma and boxing will be boxing.
+Martin Delbosque Conor better not hold his hands back and stick his chin out and exposed cause Floyd will take advantage like nate diaz
When Conor wins I'm buying a shot of Jameson for everyone and a bottle for myself
+Larry Tate After 2 times with Nate Conor is ready for anyone
+Mac Diesel IDK big dawg.
Martin Delbosque We sure are going to see. It's almost insane, I never thought this would happpen. May the hungriest man win
first
Wow this is ridiculous. if Conor comes back and defends his title a few times he can definitely go down as the greatest fighter of all times. Certainly one with the biggest balls
Sebastiano Cocco he relinquished his titles
Honestly the only time you can make that argument is for featherweight and I mean who wouldn't? I doubt he can ever make that weight ever again, he looks like he's half dead as he hits 145. He can do some real work at 155, I reckon he'll fight again some time in the fall
mayweather gonna win on boxing
Yes its official i've been waiting for the confirmation
conor first round ko, right down the middle baby
Dennis Siver you are a better boxer than Floyd tbh. Siver vs winner of GGG and Canelo
*casual
do you watch boxing mate
Conor will KO Floyd 2nd rounds
Death To All Conorsexuals
Senpie Sensie no he wont.the first rd will be boring, 2nd rd just getting started. 5th rd
