    He's right though. This whole fight is a gimmick to get money. Nothing else. The real fight everyone should be excited for is Canelo/GGG. Now that is a real boxing match. Am I right @HCP ?

    Or we can enjoy the McGregor and Mayweather fight and go back to watching the UFC.

    To each their own. I would much rather watch The Sweet Science. GGG/Canelo is going to be a classic. UFC doesn't do anything for me, but then again, to each their own my friend.

    McGregor is going to have a huge career as an action hero when all is said and done....he's building an entertainment brand like the Rock did.

    I'm excited for both but McGregor could try to fight Jon Jones and I'd buy that shit. He just has the biggest it factor of my generation. He's the LeBron James of fighting.

    Oscar begged Conor to fight Canelo instead. He's only upset that the money being made this weekend isn't going to him & Golden Boy Promotions.

    Canelo/GGG is a five-star match and could be the fight of the year.

    that card on the 9th isn't bad. It's crazy watching how hard Dana White is selling this with his Mcgregor shirts and everything. If I was a UFC fighter, I would be slightly annoyed but understanding. So many guys are underpaid and dana white has allowed Mcgregor to do whatever he wants in the UFC. Mcgregor is great but it's crazy to think he hasn't even defended his belt yet and Dana allowed him to fight for a 2nd belt. Finally Demetrius Johnson gets to headline a PPV on the 9th, dude deserves it

    a while ago while conor was just getting popular he had this bullshit movement coach. I assume he still believes in these silly movement exercises, who knows. Look at this horseshit. man bun and everything

    "The sweet science"... There's much more "science" to MMA than there is to part of MMA.

    This, a lot of people who don't watch MMA kind of just think it's a knock out fest. Much more technical than that and can be as artistic as anything else
