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

in #boxing7 years ago

You outdid yourself here. This was a great writeup.
I don't know much about boxing or mcgregor, but I know of both of them. I know of floyd's status but you filled in all the details around the hype. I like how you put into perspective how this is kinda floyd's vision, he loves making a hero and then tearing him down. All the while, making money on the fight. A lot of money. Great article.
When I was asked the other day about the fight I asked how many boxing matches has mcgregor been in? I still want him to win, but if I feel that way and I don't watch the sport, what they are doing is working. Great job here.
Thanks for all the support on my blogs. I appreciate it.

This will be Conor's first professional boxing match. But he is an excellent mma fighter, with a great 'stand-up' game and freakish punch power. However boxing is a different sport and Mayweather is the best of his generation. It should be a mismatch, but McGregor has done unthinkable things in mma already. Hence the interest and intrigue.

I agree. I knew he hadn't boxed in any, so that was my response to the question. I don't know enough to pick the winner, but the undefeated boxer against a guy who's never boxed at this level should be a mismatch. McGregor is making a show of it for sure, and who knows, he could slip on in on Floyd. We'll see. Great article, man.
