IRS Issues

I guess the big update is that its recently come out that Floyd has big problems with the IRS and had to have this fight.

Watch the minute or so starting at 10:12 its hilarious.

Floyd senior, "do you think you have more money then Floyd ? "

Conor, "I will as soon as he pays that tax bill" lol.

Great quip .

The only thing interesting about this fight is that we all know Mayweather looses in any real fight or any combat sport, under any set of rules or none at all other than boxing. Calling Mayweather a fighter is a stretch, he's mastered the art of avoiding a boxing match and pushing the limits of the rules to the point that it could be argued that he's mastered the art of avoiding a fight entirely. He's no Arturo Gatti, Felix Trinidad, Mike Tyson, Marvin Hagler, Thomas Hearns or any other great boxer that came before him. Sure these guys didn't have his record but they were true fighters of their time. Gatti was probably my all time favorite boxer, certainly not the best but the guy was a warrior.

What makes this fight intriguing is wondering if Conner can come up with a game plan to make this a true stand up fight not a point boxing match. My gut tells me Conner is gonna knock him out, but I dont generally base my winning predictions on who I'm rooting for from a fan stand point. Typically I can separate who I rooting for and who I think will win based on skill, but in this case it's hard because I've always thought FM was a joke. I'm not even a huge fan of Conner, neither love or hate him, but he is a badass that deserves respect and he does have a fighters chance in this match.

I've been a fight fan for 40+ years and this fight is the most interesting to come along in many years. We all know that a boxing champion can't step out of a ring and into the cage and compete, it's always a no contest and sad to say the least. We've seen this on several occasions, there's no questions left there. But taking a current MMA champion and a slugger and putting him in the ring with what everyone considers one of the best undefeated, pound for pound best boxers of all time, that registers on my radar!

Agreed.
Very interesting.

I would honestly like to see the fight just for the novelty.
I really don't like Mayweather and would love for Conor to sleep him, but the interesting part will be seeing if Conor can turn this into a fight instead of a 12rd point match.
But I'm not going to pay for it.

If Mc doesn't do damage in the first couple rounds he will be counter fought and May will outpoint him all 12...should be entertaining at least

i kinda feel bad for anyone whos career it is to commentate on events and build ups like this... i would hate to have to watch all of this "world tour"

Why? It's part of their contract to help sell the fight and they're both good at it. Not to mention they're both receiving a paycheck that more than compensates them for their efforts before and during fight night.
