RE: Are you not entertained? Mayweather and McGregor put on virtuoso performances to kick of World Tour

in #boxing7 years ago

For those of us that work in Las Vegas and have had to deal with Floyd Mayweather we all hope he gets destroyed. but we also know how rigged boxing is. Floyd probably made more on his last fight then McGregor has his whole career. If this fight happened in a parking lot or in a bar McGregor would destroy Mayweather and that is why all the rules and everything has been wrote by Floyd to protect Floyd McGregor will lose because of this. I also want to add that Floyd Mayweather is far from being the best fighter in his weight class Julio Cesar Chaves was a hundred times better with a better record. I am not sure but I'm pretty sure he had 80 wins before his first loss. Floyd will never come close to that.

Sort:  

Maybe I'm out of the loop but what exactly did Team Mayweather put in the contract "to protect Floyd" that's different from the typical Marquess of Queensberry Rules? I don't understand.

There are probably a few things that decrease the changes of McGregor getting an unlikely win/ KO, e.g. the weight they fight at, the gloves used (size and type), the size of the ring, the choice of referee, when they fight (the sooner the better for Floyd) etc.

I'm pretty sure Mayweather would have had the final say on all of them.

Ultimately, you're right in the sense that it is a boxing match and boxing skill will be the biggest factor. But any little advantage he can get, you can bet Mayweather has covered it off.
