Will Connor McGregor Get Knocked Out By Floyd Mayweather?

Is this real life? Did Connor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather just agree to a boxing match that will yield over $150 Million to split between the two athletes? Yes, this is happening in August in Las Vegas.
Now I will tell you how this is the dumbest fight of all time that will put an end to Connor McGregor’s career and be an ENOURMOUS loss for the UFC. The UFC is rolling in $$$$ right now. Boxing has been struggling to stay relevant for the last 15+ years as the UFC has become a multi-billion Dollar business. And THIS fight is about to reverse the trajectory of both sports.
Last month, boxing had its best night in years with the exciting and brutal Heavy Weight Fight between Wladimir Klitchko and Anthony Joshua. It was the best heavy weight fight since the 90’s and a rematch is already in the works. Combine this with the ABSOLUTE BEATING that Connor is going to take from Floyd in August and boxing will once again be back on the map. And the UFC will look like complete fools for allowing this fight to even happen. Sure, Connor will make more money than he ever has, but the beating he will get and the certain knockout he receives will be devastating and possibly career ending.
I grew up with Iron MIke Tyson and Evander Holyfield and then Lenox Lewis and those days are long gone. But thanks to this ridiculous fight, boxing will be back on the map. Thank you Connor and Dana White for being complete fools by letting your Super Star get knocked out by an aging boxer. And if you think I'm the crazy one, go to the sports book at any hotel in Vegas and you can see that Floyd is -900 to win the fight.
So why would Connor agree to this fight? Two reasons, Money and Ego. There aren't many things in the world that a man wouldn't do for $60+ Million dollars. In fact, if this payout gets a high as we think it will, Connor will then demand similar payouts for future fights. His previous 3 fights, which were UFC pay per view records, earned him a total of $34 Million dollars. Now he is going to make double that in one fight. He may never fight in the UFC again. Why fight for $15 Million a fight?
Now let's look at reason 2 that Connor is fighting, Ego. All of the world wide hype that Connor has received has gotten to his head. Yes, he is a bad and tough man, but he is stepping in the ring with one of the greatest boxers of all time. This fight is destined to only have one outcome, and that is for a bloodied and unconscious Connor laying face down in the ring.
The reasons Floyd is fighting are simple. First, he can't lose. And second, is money. Floyd has a raging gambling problem and often bets millions of dollars per game. He can never have enough cash... August can't get here fast enough to see this fight. And in a blink of an eye, it will all be over, by way of a knockout. Cheers!
Great post, very well written @steemsports. I am not a boxing fan per se. But now i actually find myself enthousiastic to watch it later this year. I do hope it becomes one of those active matches with explosive action and if that KO comes it should not come soon!
Thank you Rymlen! It will be one hell of a night!
Great post. We all know the the likely outcome. But I wish for the other way round
here is my article on the conor vs mayweather fight and some stats https://steemit.com/life/@protrado/vote-conor-mcgregor-vs-floyd-mayweather-who-will-win
Conor McGregor has speed, precision, and accuracy, so he does naturally have a chance to win. Especially if you believe in the theory of a INFINITE universe. Then yes Conor will win eventually, BUT not in this paradigm.
The reason why? That is simply the fact that CONOR is a mma fighter, YES he does a have a IRISH boxing record (Many People Are Not Aware Of) but I can guarantee he was not fighting the caliber of fighter that Floyd Money Mayweather is. Floyd has beat and defended his belt against some of the TOP and MOST ELITE boxing strikers ever to step in the ring. GUESS WHAT, they couldn't even hit Floyd! Floyd has the one thing that will nullify Conors Techniques, and thats the ELITE skill of MOVEMENT. Floyd is one of the least PUNCHED fighters ever in boxing, and if the worlds greatest "BOXING" legends could not land? What makes people think Conor will be any different, he is a man that realistically has never seen this level of striking and defense. it will be probably be one of the most BORING fights ever of course, but only because Floyd is a DEFENSE fighter as well as Conor, his main game in the cage is the COUNTER, that's what won him his bread and butter! So I guess we will see what happens it might come to who engaged first? But if they do I think FLOYD's counter and "BOXING" defense may be a bit tighter! I have Floyd winning by Decision Conor may get put on his bum a few times but then again its BOXING so of course he will recover the fight continue and Floyd takes the Win by DEC.
Thanx for your time! GREAT POST! Will resteem! Glad you posted it. I was gonna do it later. Now I dont have to! lol! KEEP ON STEEMING.

Thanks for reading, supporting, commenting and Steeming!!!!!!!!!
Interesting perspective, you are spot on mentioning that Floyd's movement is next level!
yes it is and if age has no effect, then it will be a Major factor!
I got $100 on CONOR, split decision win for 100 to 1 odds! That would be over $10,000 and I found a site that accepted BTC!
Here is how the fight will go.
LMFAO this is crazy
Haha @grey580 this is amazing, thanks for posting!
A 40 year old is fighting a 28 year old, get serious!!!!!!
We know Mayweather is not in his prime, but there is 50 or more people that have been fighting in the WBO working hard for a title shot and want a piece of Mayweather. I think Mcgregor should fight another boxer before even getting in the ring with Mayweather. Mcgregor should fight Andre Ward but i would say it wouldn't even be a fight, Mcgregor would get KO'ed first round. Mcgregor is more cocky'er than Mayweather, and If I was in my prime at 28 years old, why not try to fight someone who is 40 years old who's a legend just to say i beat him.
This fight now makes the UFC bigger than the WBO. The WBO just got downgraded cause if your a champ in the UFC you can now decide to fight any boxing champ without working your way up in the WBO.
If Mayweather loses kiss WBO good buy, the real champs are in the UFC. If Mcgegor loses the match then this will be the last fight you will see with a UFC fighter, fighting a boxing legend.
I would like to see Mayweather win by second or third round just to let the UFC not to mess with any WBO boxing champs.
I see Mayweather using the high guard the first two rounds, getting Conor's timing, range etc. Conor probably gets him the corner one of those rounds and let's his hands go and the Pro-McGregor goes wild. When they show the replay it will show all those punches we're getting rolled off Mayweather's shoulder causing no damage. Third and fourth rounds Mayweather starts hitting pot shots. McGregor missing more of his punches. Fifth and six Mayweather let's thw combos go snapping McGregor's head. By the seventh round either the ref stops it or McGregor's corner throws in the towel. Mayweather by TKO
This is how Mayweather fights. Vs. Mosely he took a couple big shots and the rest of the bout was some of the most beautiful counter punching I'd seen.
Floyd looks like a malteaser with eye balls 😂
upvoted, I personally think conor will beat floyd..he's stronger and he knows how to strike.
I have a weird feeling that Connor McGregor is going to win. But i don't know why?
I am interested now that this fight is set to take place. I hate to say it because I am not a fan, but I think Mayweather has the advantage. I don't know if it will end in a KO, but I am hoping to see a good fight.
