Realistically they needed to make this a kickboxing match and McGregor would still get schooled.

Anyone who pays 99.99 to watch this trash is a god damned idiot.

I keep hearing it's not about the fight it's about the event... that's the most bullshit thing I've ever heard. The event is going to suck because the fight is non competitive. it's like they ignore the sporting aspect of combat sports and expect it to be entertaining... there's a wake up call coming. Conor is going to look like a elementary school student getting beat by college senior.

I'm excited about it as a fan of Floyd's, and as a fan of MMA I'm excited about it. It's a huge event even if the fight fizzles which I don't think it will. Was Manny really trying to beat Floyd? I think Conor is going to try and win, which is not the same formula as the Manny fight. Maidana caught Floyd early in their first fight, go watch it, that almost got really exciting. The second one and the Canelo fight, meh but it was fun to watch Floyd. I didn't care for the Manny fight as it didn't feel like Manny was into it, that was my perception.

He hit Alavarez with the same punch very early in their fight and dropped him, that's not luck at all.

Alvarez, Aldo, Max, Mendes, Nate.. Come on, right? Aldo should have been the fight everyone quit questioning McGregor's ability to fight. He beat a guy who was undefeated for something like 10 years - the only featherweight champ in the UFC at the time, since its inception into the weight classes. His rise was epic and unprecedented, that's why he's so famous today and why he's going to fight Mayweather for tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars.

I think the idea of 'luck' is strange in a combat sport. I forget which fighter I heard this from, wish I could remember to give him credit, but he said if you're fighting, and the entire time you're in the cage, you're trying to knock your opponent out. If you throw a haymaker that just happens to land on the button and KOs the guy, it wasn't because of luck. You threw that punch with the intention of landing on target. It landed on target. What is lucky about that?

If they did anything other than just boxing Mayweather would be unconscious in seconds. Getting cracked with a kick can break your arm easily just blocking it. How's someone who's never thrown anything but a left/right hand as a pro gonna deal with kicks coming at him from another pro fighter that's been doing it his whole life? Boxing is about 1/10th of what combat sports are today, shit a couple leg kicks would completely change the way Floyd fights and turn him into a stationary target.

What's luck is WHERE it landed, you think he pinpoints a spot on the head or just throws where he THINKS his head will be...like I said he is a skilled striker, but there is some luck when it comes to doing what he did to Aldo...of that shot landed a inch and any direction from where it did he prolly wouldn't have KOd him, stunned him but not KO

He hit him on a spot on his head that anywhere else it would have just stunned him, and you think that's because of luck?

Yes....iv been in my fair share of fights and my buddy fights tuff n uff, I can promise you luck is a huge part of KOing someone like that....iv knocked someone out cold one time in middle school, that wasn't really luck tho cause i already hit him and he was getting back up kinda out of it and I nailed him in the chin, he was kinda a sitting duck
