Not when both of them have $10 million on a McGregor DQ at 50:1 odds

I'm predicting that we find out McGregor is fighting a CGI replica of Mayweather pissing off the crowd once again.

Can we keep the discussion of sports entertainment for the unwashed masses in the threads where it's relevant? (Nm, it's an Oilers thread.)

White text aside you expose your own ignorance comparing professional boxing and mixed martial arts to wrestling.

Out of those three, actual competitive wrestling, and not the scripted stuff, is probably the least barbaric and has the most place in a civilized society.

Funny how out of those three, wrestling is the least popular. It's the entertainment business and these guys make millions of dollars. If you don't like combat sports, don't watch them. But people have been punching each other's faces since the dawn of time and it's not going to stop because you think it has no place in "civilized society".

They are promoting a boxing match with one of the best pound for pound boxers the sport has ever seen vs a mma dude. It's a gimmick to separate a fool from his money.
If Mcgregor actually stands there and tries to beat him at his own game he will get picked apart inside the first round, and sent to the mat at the start of the second. At best. Unless of course, Dana has instructions for them to make it 5-6 rounds ect.

Enough to know Mcgregor isn't going to beat Mayweather at his own game.

Mayweather is likely the best defensive boxer in history. He is 49-0! Sure, he's older now, but there is no way that a guy who doesn't even box professionally is going to come in and beat him.

It doesn't matter who wins that fight because this is a bad contact, the oilers are a bad team and it's going g to be fun to watch the oilers be in cap jail for a long time.
I can't believe it's the summer and oiler fans are talking about other sports, usually oiler fans talk about hockey until at least December and then talk about other sports.
