McGregor/Mayweather is like Ali/Cossell

There is about a 12 hour video or something like that of all Ali/Cossell's interviews on youtube.  I watched the whole thing!

Great stuff.

I'm not sure if I see the similarities with Mayweather/McGregor if I'm honest, apart from the fact they are selling a fight.  Bit vulgar for my tastes, too much swearing for the sake of it.  Not that I care about swearing, but I dunno, I watch it and think "deary me, society is in decline".

Profane but funny Stanley.

A different time. Yes Ali and Cossell did not use vulgar language.

This is a fight not Sesame Street. It is the humor and effective promoting that makes me think these very different duos are somewhat alike.

You used the word "fight"

"The fight will be like Cossell fighting Ali in the ring!"

"McGregor will be boxing, not fighting. Unless the fix is in, he has no chance."

OK. You corrected yourself. Fine. It is possible the fix is in.

How can you be sure Conor Mcgregor "has no chance"? How can you be certain?

If the fix is not in Conor has a chance. He is bigger, younger and he punches really hard. Not a good chance. But he definitely has a chance.

These 2 are funny and doing a great job promoting the fight.

C'mon, he's got no chance.

The only way McGregor has a chance, is if a banana skin is thrown into the ring just as the bell goes, Mayweather then slips on said banana skin, cracks his head on the stool and falls into a coma for two weeks.  If that is a chance then I guess he does have some chance.

I'm not an MMA fan, but I watched a bit of McGregor on youtube, his fights against Nate Diaz.  He has two punches in his armoury, a left hook and a straight left, and that's it. He feints with his right, then throws his left. Every time! EVERY TIME! These mutts he has been facing at the UFC need to grow a brain. He doesn't throw combinations, he doesn't have the footwork of a boxer, he doesn't have the stamina, he doesn't have the balance, he doesn't have the movement, he was blowing out of his arse after 8 minutes in the two UFC fights I saw, at which time he was getting caught at will by a tomato can, and that was in both fights, not just the first one which he lost!

Even if he did catch Floyd flush, which seems unlikely to me, I don't think he knocks him out, remember they use 4oz gloves in UFC, and even if he did floor him, which is even more unlikely, then he can't just jump on top of him and start pounding him like in the UFC.

McGregor is good to watch though in UFC, I can see why people like watching him, he is exciting, none of this wrestling on the floor business, but he is stepping into another world here.

Why?

Funny stuff! Good promotion.



Conor laughs at Mayweather's father-



They were both funny but I'd say Conor was funnier and got the best of the exchanges.

For all those that say McGregor has no chance that is simply not true. Floyd is 40 and has lost muscle mass and speed. He was never big to begin with as he was best at the lighter weights like featherweight. Connor has a hard time making the 155 lb. weight limit (almost a boxing middleweight- UFC weights are different) and he has huge hands. He is 2 inches taller and is a larger man. He just turned 29 years old so he is in his prime.

Here are some who think he can win-

I'm certain I know more about both boxing and MMA than you do. I know more than you know now or ever will know.

Girlyman.

"Adorable" is a strange word to use.

This is a manly thread and that is an effeminate word.
