    I think this happens, new UFC owners need to make a lot of money to pay the interest on their loans to buy the company. I reckon Conor will kick or elbow mayweather at some point or some kind of illegal in boxing but not mma technique

    Each would destroy the other in their own form of fighting.
    Plus niether would be stupid enough to challenge the other at his form of fighting

    This is where I disagree, i think one of them is stupid enough!
    Not that stupid when you take into account the money involved.

    Joke fight. As a boxer McGregor would struggle to win a southern area title

    He would get nowhere near an area title to have a chance.

    He's a decent boxer. Not world level but I don't see how you could say he would struggle for a regional title.

    Simple because he is not as good a boxer or anywhere near as decent as regional title contender boxers.

    I remember Chris Eubanks Jr getting the better of Carl Froch in a sparring video...

    Perhaps, but neither of them were as utterly appalling boxers as McGregor in that video. If his footwook, stance and generally pretty much everything in terms of boxing technique were as poor as that so recently he would not have got near an area title in boxing.

    McGregor would struggle at top amateur boxing level and pretty much all boxers wouldn't fare too well in a top flight mma contest. Horses for courses. The whole notion of these bouts are almost as silly as the ensuing fanboy arguments about whether a dog would beat a shark at swimming and a wasp at catching sticks.

    Farce of a fight. The fact it will earn so much money just tells us how many absolute divs there are in the world.

    Ha, very true! Footwork is a lot different in MMA. I don't think anyone sane is suggestibg that McGregor has a chance of beating Mayweather in the square circle.

    The funny thing is McGregor's footwork and 'ring/octagon craft' are some of his strongest tool. Just look at the Eddie Alvarez fight, the way he managed the distance between both of them was nothing short of perfection.

    However his front on stance and use of movement just wont translate to a pure boxing match where there is never that worry that someone is going to shoot for the take down.

    LOL - anyone who takes this seriously, do yourselves a favour and look - literally - at the very first frame of that YouTube video. The one that is frozen when you first look at the video. He looks like one of those drunk Russians you see on YouTube that have picked a fight with a local boxer and are just on the verge of getting tuned up. Obviously, the rest of the video is hilarious too, I just thought it was extra funny that the very first frame shows him looking like some bow-legged piss-artist about to get nighty-nighted.

    McGregor would make more in one night than he probably would in 2-3 years in the UFC one PPV's are taken into account.
    Mayweather picks up a lot of money for an expected easy victory.

    Unlikely. He will make a lot of money from this though.

    The fight is a great one from a financial standpoint. Mayweather is burning through his money and for Connor it would set him up more than 10mma fights would.

    As a boxing match it is a joke fight.

    You guys can snort in a derisory fashion all you like at the prospect, but I don't know anybody who didn't enjoy this exhibition fight between two masters of their own domains.

    He made $10m in his last fight, he won't be getting $100m for the Mayweather fight.

    Don't think he will be far off

    Mayweather received $100m from the Manny fight.

    That's not what was challenged though, McGreedyGregor won't get 100m was his point I think

    This just reminds me of when the GAA & Aussie Rules get together. The Irish lads stuff the Aussieswhen their play GAA with the round ball, the Aussies stuff the Irish playing with the oval ball and it comes to the International rules which is a combination of both games, no fooker has a clue what's going on.

    A complete farce but I can't help but like the idea of anything that involves Conor McGregor getting really really hurt.

    That was his guaranteed purse - he received another $120-150m from his share of PPV - total gross earnings around $220-250m. Lifetime earnings c$700m.

    He shouldn't need the money!!

    Exactly. I'd imagine this fight happens if Mayweather gets his 100m. Mcgregor will obviously get quite a bit less but will take it as it's more than he's ever had for a single fight.

    Turd is a lighter word than what I would use.

    Thought the Aussies win the international rules due to being full time professionals?

    Conor won't get $100m but it will be a lot closer to that than his last fight.
