And risk backlash?
Say Conor fights dirty. Doesn't box him because why tf would he box him. He rams forward, clinches up, holds on, dirty boxing on the inside, taking control of Floyds arms, stepping on feet, pushing his head up against Floyds head... the ref breaks it up reset and repeat several times... a warning.... a point deduction.... then what? How far could Conor go before this expensive fight gets stopped? If it goes the full 12 rounds could Conor lose the match but still win the fight?
Floyd's more passionate haters would probably orgasm if Conor risked it all and KO'ed Floyd with an elbow or kick. Satisfaction = money. Would that be enough money to pay off the suing case against Conor if this occurs?
