Floyd Mayweather, JR Vs Conor McGregor Farce Examined Closer!

FMJ CMBy Richard “Doc” Pratt

After watching a recent Conor McGregor video about his spat with Dana White and the UFC I can totally agree with what Conor is saying about them and the ridiculous media scheduling when being in his position. After losing so unexpectedly and in such a dramatic fashion, I can understand him wanting to just get his mind, body and soul together for future battles. He’s thinking of his wellbeing and the wellbeing of the UFC in so much as he wants to be as competitive and entertaining as he possibly can. Yet Dana White and the UFC could, in my eyes, care less about his wellbeing and state of mind and utterly fail in seeing the long term and only seeing his next fight and the dollar signs involved. No real worry or concern about anything beyond that. That in my book is just out right stupid, greedy and deplorable!

I see the UFC as one of the worst companies to be putting your life on the line for!

Now, when it comes to a Mayweather, JR. Vs McGregor fight for a belt and Money’s Historic 50th win. That’s a threefold crock.

One, Mayweather, JR. coming out of retirement to get a 50th win in this fashion is a complete joke and amounts to him being truthfully a coward that won’t fight anyone with the slightest ability to beat him for, what amounts to, an historic boxing victory.

Secondly, it’s ridiculous to believe McGregor has a chance in hell at beating Mayweather, JR. in the boxing ring. His boxing talent is nowhere near what it would take for a victory let alone to make a competitive fight out of the laughable spectacle that it would be!

Thirdly, I cannot see a sanctioning body in boxing holding on to their already questionable integrity by approving this fight to be for a title or to count toward a record 50th win for Mayweather! But, integrity aside, they’ll do it for the money and as of recent reports, it will be happening this September. They’ll do it and bank on enough boxing fans to not give a crap and buy into this money grab of a spectacle as something to go down in history as one of boxing’s biggest bouts.

The only thing this goes down in history as is the biggest “spectacle” in sports history.
The money is there, the UFC fans are there and yes, there are plenty of boxing fans that will be there, including me, but only because it makes for good writing fodder.

Well, there’s my two cents worth…

Until next time. Keep your gloves up and elbows in!
