Mayweather's expecting a bull in a china shop and McGregor's expecting a minimal amount of punches thrown at him. Their training sessions are bound to be different. In the end it will be a sideshow where Floyd wins and everyone goes home richer.

LOL at the idea of FLoyd getting in the octagon!......Connor has some pretty decent boxing experience while Floyd has 0.00000000 MMA experience, but also Floyd isnt that stupid he is the one with all the leverage in this matchup. That being said I'm really looking forward to this fight, I understand this spectacle undermines Boxing pretty badly but Its gonna be like a bad car crash...everyone is gonna want to take a look.

Don't waste your cash. This is why that fight last night has ruined this sport betond repair. Now people that have no clue what to expect will tune in because "Pacman lost to a no name, anything can happen". People will waste a crap ton of cash on another boring fight just like Mayweather/Pacman. This fight may be the final nail in boxing's coffin.

Let's wait for Canelo/Golovkin before we say the sport is dead.

No clue who they are, which in itself further proves my point. Only hardcore boxing fans give two craps and/or know anything about who are major contenders.

Golovkin is basically this era's Mike Tyson and Canelo is the next in a long line of great Mexican boxers. You don't need to know much about boxing to know these guys.

Two guys who don't clinch very often.

Did you see that Floyd "out of money" Mayweather is only doing this fight to pay off his debt to the IRS?

Think of the millions that are paying to help this guy clear his debt when the internet will be buzzing with everything that happened.

At least McGregor won the first press conference.

McGregor winning would be fantastic. But I expect it to be an embarrassment to MMA.

Was James Toney getting taken down and choked out by a 47 year old Randy Couture in the octagon an embarrassment to boxing?

I wouldn't see it as an embarrassment to MMA since all but one weapon an MMA fighter has at his disposal isn't allowed in the boxing ring, whereas in the octagon, a boxer is free to just box(hell, one dude wore a boxing glove on one hand in a fight with Royce Gracie. Gracie turned him into a pretzel in short order, but the dude was free to box).
