A lucky Sub? from... Diaz? Are you delusional dude?
Wait, I read the rest of your post also. You are delusional. McGregor has no chance against Diaz in a MMA or Boxing match. He would get destroyed by Mayweather.
Conor wouldn't get the money an would be dead by month's end.
Gotta be a troll
Does putting it on Instagram make it more or less trustworthy than his UFC 200 reinstatement post via Twitter?
Why is Floyd part of the trolling? https://youtu.be/SCdBb_fT5z4
hes just thinking about the easy check
Not this shit again. Mayweather clowns fools because this hype.
McGregor is stepping up his boxing training.
If he is fighting Nate he needs to work on his Boxing and Jujitsu anyway

So true. Hype the fuck outta all these oppenets, but in the ring it isn't even a close match up. Just speaking from a boxing fans point of view, the only way Mayweather is gonna lose a fight, is to fight at middleweight 160, or be off his game in the ring.
Please guys, don't buy into the hype that a non-boxer is gonna beat the best boxer of this era in a boxing match........
Haha this reminds me of some conversations with some friends of mine who are huge into MMA but don't care for boxing for whatever reason and they were really sure that McGregor had a real chance. They didn't really seem to get that Connor would have like two thirds of his arsenal eliminated in a straight boxing match. No grappling, no ground game, no kicks, 12 rounds long, etc. Its so stacked in Mayweather's favor already they'd have to give Collin a baseball bat to give him a chance.
He can still go the distance.
Not sure he is winning, or even landing a shot if Mayweather is actually trying.

Conor is stepping up his boxing training because he isn't a good boxer. Good boxing technique can wreak havoc with a lot of MMA types. To hang with Nate, Conor will need all tools. BJJ should be a main focus, but he's honestly too far behind at this point.

Yo. I thought maybe there was a chance he was taking this seriously, but he has no concept of using his hands to block. Conor, stahp.
This is embarrassing. He would get smoked by an amateur.

Well it's no secret that Floyd would land at will. A boxing match with Conor would look like his fight against Gatti, but a few times worse.

I just thought he would try to actually box and not treat it like an MMA fight where he only uses his fists. I gave him too much credit, apparently.

People actually want to pay for this shit? A UFC guy in a straight boxing match with Mayweather. Lol.

That is fucking dreadful. No head movement, hands down, wide open and getting countered almost every time he throws. Anyone who thinks Mayweather aka the best boxer of his generation wouldn't school someone who looks this amateur is deluded

That video was a joke... and this fight happening would be an even bigger joke... on UFC.
Mayweather putting on a show and getting conor to take an L would put more attention on boxing than the UFC.
The possibility of conor retiring from fighting after this potential big payday would also mean the UFC loses one of it's brightest stars.
maybe to Conor this is Leverage for the UFC to payout more on his fights... he's clearly trying to become the "Money Mayweather" of the UFC and by doing this stunt he's trying to say "Either you will pay me or boxing will... take your pick"

Wow. Just wow. That is so much worse than I even expected.
Btw, here's a video of his sparring partner getting taken apart by Errol Spence.

Im trying to figure out why Colins sources thinks its September. Cinco de mayo and New Years should be the biggest dates. It just occured to me that Cannelo vs GGG has been rumored for September in Dallas, i beleive on that same weekend.
It could very well be Mayweathers team trolling Canelo. They started these rumors at his Khan fight and now playing with the rumored GGG fight date.
Everyone knows Mayweather vs McGregor wont be much of a fight but it would likely kill Canelo vs GGG in money.

Historically Mayweather fights in May and September. Canelo/GGG isn't happening in 2016 so that date is open. Canelo might fight some can the week before or week after.

Mayweather is going to put on a boxing clinic on McGregor, landing clean strikes at will. Mayweather's brittle hands won't be able to land the KO, however.
Mayweather by unanimous decision after 12.

Yep, Conor has awful striking defense. This is just basically a cash-out-and-retire fight if it happens I think. Believe that's what he's been gunning for even on the UFC side. No interest in legit fights in his weight class for example, just clown fights for big money (and by 'clown' I don't necessarily mean easy, like the Diaz rematch that he would probably lose). Can't blame him!

September (forgot the day) is Mexicos Independence Day. big weekend for the boxing world
You don't need an expert to say that a good to great UFC fighter is going to have serious problems with an undefeated life long professional boxer who is known for clowning fools with a style that isn't flashy at all but super effective. What exactly is Connor going to do when he has trouble with certain strikers in the UFC. Most of his usual arsenal is not allowed in a boxing match and he also has to go probably 10 rounds on top of the weight change needed to meet Floyd's demands. Its like taking your decent road ready sports car and trying to race it against the best F1 Driver in the world on a track he's gone down a thousands time before.

Looks like this may be official. Floyd just updated his Facebook with this.

Unless this fight is going to be streamed exclusively on some Russian sports betting website I'm not buying that picture as real.
