Mayweather asking for McGregor or nothing screams of pure desperation

[mmmjojo]

This fight would only be about money and spectacle, I think we'd all agree on this. If McGregor couldn't beat a guy he labeled flat-footed and a plodder, does anyone seriously think he has a chance? Of course not. Which brings me to this: This is all about Mayweather's ego. We know Floyd loves money. But in my opinion, I think it bothers him that no one talks about him much since his retirement. He's not missed like Ali, Tyson, or even Roy Jones. We can only speculate if he's in trouble money-wise but I haven't read anything of the sort. And lastly, it's his chance to embarrass the UFC and MMA in general by schooling its "biggest star". He couldn't challenge Rousey when she kept opening her mouth because he knew he'd catch hell for wanting to punch a woman. But with McGregor now being the big draw, he can now try to fight him and the brag about how MMA fighters are inferior. I don't blame Conor for capitalizing on this rumor, but I think its sad that Floyd would consider an MMA fighter, with no chance to beat him, as a possible opponent.

Like this shit would ever happen.

Maybe you're right but the point is that Floyd is realizing that all his accomplishments have gone underappreciated. He may have been the biggest earner in boxing but he'll go down as one the sports least respected.

Another easy 100mill payday. It's the right thing to do if you're Floyd and loves money.

You stopped making sense when you said Maywether has money issues and I gave your thread the Diaz salute.

I doubt that. I don't like Floyd at all, but history will respect his boxing talents.

Anyone seen Rocky?

over a 100million for an easy fight that would sell like crazy.

smart buisness move...

would watch

The fuck?
Try the fact that it is the biggest money fight he can degenerate at this moment. No one in boxing is going to generate the money Mayweather vs McGregor can possibly make. Nothing to do you with your far-fetched TLDR post.

I totally agree. I just think that he spawned all this because he's pissed that no one cares that he's gone. I have many friends that are into combat sports in general and I haven't had one say,"Man, I miss Floyd Mayweather".

Floyd is desperate? He could fight anyone near his weight in boxing, most likely beat them soundly and get paid $100 million to do it. I'm pretty sure he doesn't meet the criteria to be considered desperate.

 

[Credo]

Gonna watch

You know anyone that has said they miss him? I haven't from my end.

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Such a weak thread.


He's simply pimping McGregors 15 minutes of fame for even more exposure.



Mayweather is a marketing machine.

Floyds last fight only sold 450K PPV buys. Nobody is paying him 100 million after that.

For fucks sake, he just fought in Sept. And I see shit about him all the time.
Seems you're just making shit up so you have something to post about.

I don't argue any of this. But why though? He's mad that he isn't missed. He always accused Pacman of using his name to stay relevant yet he's now using McGregor in the same sense. He thought he'd make huge money against Berto since it'd be his last fight, but people couldn't have cared less judging by the PPV numbers.
