In a real fight, in the Octagon, McGregor would kill Mayweather. Would love to see it.

A real fight? Define a real fight. Why is MMA more real than boxing?

It's probably less real of a fight than, say, urban warfare. Who would win that do you think?

Boxing allows the use of the fists only, no kicking, wrestling, grabbing, lifting etc therefore in comparison with MMA it's not a real fight. We are talking about unarmed fighting by the way, not sure how you ended up at urban warfare.

Weird thing to pull  you up on anyways.

MMA has limits though. Why not just have a scrap in the street where eye gouging and headbutting and groin shots are allowed?

The "in a real fight" shite that people continue to spew is complete f**king nonsense. They've contracted to compete in what will allegedly be a boxing match. Everything else is completely irrelevant, whether that be MMA, knife fights or inner city gang warfare.

I wouldn't expect a Muppet like you to grasp the concept of hyperbole, so don't worry yourself trying to figure it out.

You're the sort of person who continually takes things to ridiculous extremes, aren't you? Urban warfare?

A walking example of Godwin's Law..

Why is it any more ridiculous to discuss them hypothetically engaging in urban warfare than it is an MMA bout?

As a punishment beating or as sport?

Why are sky "sports" covering this shit? And in such detail?

They are now analysing the PR. Not just covering it but analysing it.

Anybody any insightful opinions on how McGregor pranced around an otherwise empty ring for a good 10 mins?

This is all supposed to sell ppv packages. Who are the people who are cough up on the back of watching this shit?

And in my opinion the peoples left hook is the most electrifying move in sports entertainment.

BBC Sport have been following it closely too. People are obviously clicking on the story.

Those final 2 conferences were crap enough. Toronto was great crack - they just rehashed old stuff from then on. You could see McGregor was bored with it by the last one.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

So badly staged and both were struggling to remember the lines they were given.

nrico2006 by  the sound of it, you never been in a real fight, double. triple teamed, kicked in the head, maybe unfortunate enough to get stabbed, thats a real fight in todays society, this  illusion that MMA is real fighting is laughable, a failed NFL footballer and WWE wrestler came into MMA and became champ in no time.

The ridiculousness of this circus is that you have pundits analysing the press conferences and scoring each one in terms of 10-8/10-9 scores. Complete fraud show which will be proven after the fight when they both walk off with huge pay cheques and dish out platitudes to each other showing it was all just an act.
