In one word: describe how you feel about the Mayweather/McGregor promotion tour?

I'll go with:


FUCKINGYAWN

Agree! Seems like a show these guys would put on!

I hear there is something in McGregor's contract that, if gets in a clinch with Mayweather, he is not allowed to do some kind of grappling thing and snap his arms.

While I'm sure many people enjoy the idea of Mayweather standing there with snapped arms dangling down, that is probably prudent.

Did you know Muhammad Ali once had an exhibition match with a Japanese professional wrestler? While the match itself was a bit of a fiasco and not well received, some consider it a seminal moment in the evolution of MMA. True story.
 
As soon as the opening bell rang, Inoki ran the 16-foot gap and slid at the legs of Ali, who sidestepped the attack. Inoki stayed on the ground for all but the first 14 seconds of the three-minute first round, kicking at Ali and landing one clean hit to Ali's right leg. The majority of the fight saw Inoki on his back kicking Ali's legs, occasionally connecting. By the third round, a wound had appeared on Ali's left knee.

Ali did not throw his first punch until the seventh round. In the tenth, Ali threw his second punch, and two more in the thirteenth. He threw only six punches in total during the fight.
 
They have made a championship belt especially for the stupid occasion.

It consists of 3,360 diamonds, 600 sapphires, 300 emeralds and is made out of alligator leather.


Without any further ado, I give you, the Stupid Belt:

Like, if he suddenly decides to go all MMA on Floyd's ass, he wouldn't just be disqualified in the fight, he would be disqualified from the purse.

McGregor kicking Mayweather in the head ---> :nono:
 
I guess it would have to be money to win. Even if 75% of money risked is on Mayweather it would tend to wanna move the line down on the other guy. ie every million bet on fav would be eclipsed by a half a million bet on dog. So I guess that's possible.
