What Will Really Happen If Floyed "Money" Mayweather Fights Conor "The Notorious" McGregor
If you are a boxing, MMA or a sports fan in general, you are aware of the buzz that Floyed Mayweather and Conor McGregor are in talks to fighting each other. My personal opinion, the fight WILL happen due to these factors
- Mayweather announced he has come out of retirement
- McGregor received his Nevada State boxing license
- Both worlds will collide, making fans of boxing and MMA come together for a Super Bowl like event
- The fight will generate money, lots of money
- The amount of cash that is at stake is too much to lose for both fighters
Many are speculating that the fight will not happen. I have heard this before, especially when it came to the Pacman-Mayweather fight. With the fighters hopefully coming to terms, this fight will happen soon. Here is what will happen the months before the fight and what will happen per round when the fight happens and if it goes the distance. Reminder, McGregor has the punches chance in the fight, but Mayweather is more accurate. Emotionally, I want McGregor to win, but using my intelligence in boxing, Mayweather WILL win to take an easy payday.
The Build Up
This will probably be the best part of the of the whole event in general, the shit talking. Both Mayweather and McGregor are well known for their brash trash talking toward their opponents before the fight and during the press/promo conferences. They are both masters in psychological warfare in their industries when it comes to talking trash. Getting in their opponents head is key part of victory. This part will clearly go to McGregor. McGregor is more up front and in your face when it comes to trash talking. Mayweather will throw insults at the same rate, but McGregor will be more aggressive.
The Fight
Location: Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, Nevada
Round 1
The energy in the arena is electric! When the bell rings, the crowd erupts! McGregor will start off strong. Aggressive and taking risks, boxing Mayweather in to the ropes just like how Marcos Maidana did in his first fight with Floyed. The ruff house style McGregor will apply will be effective and confusing to Mayweather. Mayweather will manage to take the cleaner shots, thus giving the round to Floyed. It will look like McGregor took the round, but all judges will go for Floyed.
Mayweather 10- McGregor 9
Round 2
Just like the first round, McGregor will come out with the same style as before, but with more of a knowledge on what he is dealing with and adjust to the game Mayweather will be applying. Mayweather will have his hands up and take the more cleaner shots again when McGregor is smothering him to the ropes. At this point McGregor will start realizing that he is going to need to change the game plan in order to get a victory. Round 2 goes to Money!
Mayweather 20- McGregor 18
Round 3
Mayweather now has an understanding of McGregor, and is slowly adjusting to his ruff style tactics to start dominating the fight. McGregor, getting frustrated will start to take some foul shots that might cost him a point or two. McGregor is now realizing, he is playing Mayweather's game. McGregor loses the round.
Mayweather 30- McGregor 27
Round 4
McGregor now knows he needs to pick up the pace in a smart manner. McGregor will be more cautious, but will still fall in Floyed's counters giving him a understanding of his power and brilliance. The fight starts to lose steam when it comes to the crowd and now this is a normal Floyed Mayweather boxing match.
Mayweather 40- McGregor 36
Round 5
This is where McGregor might start to lose steam due to his experience in MMA. At this point, Mayweather will be making McGregor a punching bag. Showing heart and will, McGregor is still going to give all that he has, but that will not be enough. This is where McGregor might be in danger if he doesn't keep his hands up or falls in a classic Mayweather counter, he is done.
Mayweather 50- McGregor 45
Round 6
Mayweather now knows he can finish this and is carefully seeking the best opportunity to take out McGregor. Lethargic, McGregor understands that he can go down if he is not careful. At this point, Mayweather has fully adjusted to McGregor's style and is applying all boxing fundamentals that can be devastating for McGregor.
Mayweather 60- McGregor 54
Round 7 -Round 10
These rounds are the danger zone for McGregor, and in order to win, he knows and needs to go for the KO. Knowing that he can fall in a Mayweather counter, McGregor is cautious and fails to find the opportunity.
By the end of the 10th
Mayweather 100- McGregor 90
Round 11
By this time, the fight should have ended in favor to Mayweather by TKO or KO. If the fight is continues, McGregor will be tired and has punched himself out.
Mayweather 110- McGregor 99
Round 12
Mayweather is going for broke! If he lands the proper punch, it is game over for McGregor. Showing heart and will like the warrior he is, McGregor is going to try to go the distance since he knows that there will be no way to win unless he lands the perfect KO shot.
Final Score Card if the Fight Goes the Distance
Mayweather 120- McGregor 108
Mayeather wins Unanimously or By KO
I think Mayweather will win as it is his sport, but hoping Connor wins
Mayweather will win, I am speaking with intelligence. I want McGregor to win, I am speaking off emotion.
The world wants to see this fight and there is too much money involved so this has to happen!!! Rooting for Conor!!!! Go go go!
Not a bad analysis, except you're wrong! :-) McGregor will adopt a hands down style, moving in a way that Mayweather won't be able to figure.
He may even feign some kicks and knees, just to upset Mayweather, he will step into him, turning him around. For the first time ever Floyd will be truly flustered.
Then BANG! Conor smashes him with that left, stars, spinning, sick feeling, Mayweather gets desperate, starts complaining to the referee about whatever he can.
Conor smiles, still hands down, taunts, BANG! BANG! BANG! Lights out, Mayweather wakes up some time in the next week to the news that Conor McGregor is the champ and possibly the greatest pound-for-pound fighter that has ever existed... :-)

Thanks for your feed back! We can agree to disagree. I want McGregor to win! I really do! Mayweather will complain, especially if it is Kenny Bayless is reff, and more then likely is the fight is to happen. Mayweather will have to upper hand when it comes to fighting terms and conditions, but McGregor will be no shit crazy when it comes to the press.
I have see Mayeweather frustrated many of times, but quickly adapt. The best way that McGregor can win is to cut Mayweather in the early rounds and keep the bleeding. Mayweather gets scared when he starts to bleed, kinda funny to be honest. If McGregor can make Gayfeather play his game (which I hope) then we have a fight. But so far, it is a mismatch. McGregor knows this payday will be worth more then all his UFC purses combined, it will be an opportunity for him. Again, I truly hope he shocks the world!
I know what you're saying about the frustration thing, and Mayweather does have an annoying habit of overcoming these things. I'm just hoping that Conor can keep his style, because that for me is the key.
The problem is Mayweather is so damned hard to hit, which may frustrate Conor as you pointed out in your original analysis. I hope he does cut him, or simply do a Jose Aldo on him and knock him spark out within the first minute... Well no, let's get some entertainment out of it first; I'll settle for Round 3 :-)

I know Conor will bring his A game, but that won't be enough. I personally think any C-class boxer can beat McGregor in boxing. Then, I think any MMA fighter male or female can beat Mayweather in MMA. This will surly be an interesting match for sport fans. If this fight does become a good fight and McGregor wins by any chance, this will open the doors to many and might create a whole new business in sports.
It's really hard not to agree with you, especially when you see McGregor spar...
Wow, can you imagine? Now that would be awesome, kind of like crossover comics (Batman v Superman etc.) but for real world sports :-)
Cg
Hahaha, I would say more like Batman Vs. Wolverine! But you do have a point.
Of course, I forgot they are from the same DC universe :-)
Cg
Will go the distance and they will both run around, one boring fight which everyone will waste money on.
I think that everyone is underestimating Mcgregor, not only is he fast, aggressive, and smart, but he can take punches. I think that he will start to scare Mayweather when in the late rounds, he is still being super aggressive and energetic.
I actually agree with you, quiet the opposite to be frank, McGregor is a thinker and he is a fighter who believes in himself. He will destroy mayweather in press conferences and kill his self belief. This could have a negative psychological impact on mayweather.
But obviously the logical thing to say is mayweather would wipe the floor with him, because he is just not a boxer.
But I like to be optimistic I believe his awkward style and his ability to get into the mind of an opponent will serve him well.
Will be interesting.
I don't think Mcgregor will be running round. He will fall under Mayweaters counters!
Its a valid point, however I just see both of them coming in too careful, McGregor wants to prove to the world that he can do the unthinkable which will change the way he fights in the ring. & Mayweather will not engage at all he will use his defensive technique to try show he has full control of the ring.. a lot of hesitance you'll understand when you see it.. happens in big fights.
Hmmmm.... interesting play by play. In truth, common sense tells me you're on the money. But... Conor is Conor and he can do things no one else can. His power is one thing. But Conor is super precise and measured and his timing is second to none. If theres one area i disagree with you though is that i don't think Conor will be gassing, i think he'll be efficient with his energy.
this whole shit show is just theathre tactics. these guys knows majority of the people are just stupid and will dish out ridiculous amounts of money to see these clowns get on the ring . Let me just say, i think Mcgregor is poss the best UFC fighter, maywether is meh, never liked his fighting styles. And at the ridiculously slim chance of it ever happening, guaranteed it will be the shittiest fight ever, worse than Pacquiao vs Maywether. I seriously dont see why the masses could be so dumb to expect this clusterfuck that will only be a huge letdown
You know, the thing about this fight is that it WILL happen. Now will it suck? Yea! This is the biggest payday for both and know what is on the line. It is all a stunt to have people spend money on a fight that will leave a bad name for both sports.
I really hope this happens. I am a big fan of Mcgregor
I love his personality, I really do hope Mcgregor can pull an Ali and stun the world.
I think most people don't understand the difference between someone who trained only boxing all his life, and someone who trained wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kick-boxing and boxing.
I love Conor, he is truly best in MMA but I doubt he will be a threat to Mayweather in a boxing match.
Conor is a master at generalism, Floyd is a master at specialism - and Floyd is making the generalist step into the specialist area, and even if Conor is a good boxer, he wont beat one of the greatest.
Decision? Maybe. Close fight? Hell no.
Close fight is a dream! The people that will be fucked if this fight cost $100! This is an ESPN boxing match!
Pretty good analysis, Mayweather will win it if he prepares good enough and don't just do it for the money ;-)
Yea, he'll do it for his record 50-0
Even though I now Floyd has the advantage, I am #teamMcgregor
