That's the story they're trying to sell with the tour.

But in this case the 99/100 or 999/1000 means an exceptionally boring fight, much worse than the Manny fight. And for $100 at that. This notion that Conor could always land one shot...well, did you buy every other Floyd fight? Cause everyone can land one shot, and they are all much better boxers than Conor is right now. The difference here is beating Floyd would be the biggest upset ever in sports, but that's a thin reason to shell out huge money for something likely to suck.
But there's also the other big difference between boxing and MMA: Floyd could definitely go down....but he can also get back up without Conor ground and pounding him. The likelihood Conor one punches Floyd to sleep is nil, and there will be 11 more rounds he'll likely lose. It would have to be something like this, where he connects with Floyd as Floyd is leaning in to punch (this is of course one of the greatest knockouts ever).
