mayweather vs mcgregor

[Bread]

the fight was more about the reputation of boxing really .

It was for the money too, put it this way they wouldn't have done it for 0 pay.

I agree , but was very sloppy be honest .

it was all tv fighting not man to man full on.

a real fight like Tyson on the eyes

look at it again on round 5 and 6 there laughing

If someone offered you 100 mill plus a PPV split, would you take it? I already know the answer

If I was the king of MMA and already had 20mil in my bank account I wouldn't risk my reputation for money. (Hence why Mayweather refused to fight in the octagon)

 

[wizard04]

the point is they both did fight and they both earned and no one got hurt .

so life go on.

Actually the boxing community is hurt. This shit of a spectacle should not have been an official boxing mach as McG. is not a boxer. Its should have been treated as friendly fight with no official recognition from the boxing federation. Its just shows you that the boxing federation has no integrity and will bend there asses for a few $.

I would go for it, Bill Gates/Jeff Bezos still grind despite having billions. You can never have enough money

true what you say but it felt fake enjoyable but timmed....

to me was like watching a film that good but you new it was all fake ...

 

[Bread]

Yeah I agree, I did wonder if it would be fixed as there's so much money on the line for all parties. Maybe it was for show, in round 1/2 I believe Conor lets his guard down to taunt Mayweather, and you can hear the crowd cheering. I feel boxing is a sport where fixing would happen, not sure about MMA

Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos earn money without doing anything at all now... They have revolutionized the world, you cannot compare geniuses to sportsmen. Sportsmen are entertainers, they have to entertain the public to make money. (and if you don't put up a real fight you are not entertaining)

They don't have to do anything, but they still do. Mayweather and Conor are businessmen, their niche is sport (which pays a lot...look at tonights fight). I wouldn't say Jeff or Bill are geniuses, they are just good businessmen. Trump is a good businessman...the list goes on. A genius is book smart, but street smart will make you the money.

Bill Gates is a genius, his team is made up of good business man to sell his geniuses to the world.

Mayweather and Conor business men??? LOL Mayweather and McGregor are just beasts, fighters who train to be stronger than others, nothing more. It's the MANAGERS and PROMOTORS who are the business men who bring in the contracts and money. I heared that Dana White is the man who set up this fight, I can assure you he made more money from this fight than McGregor did.

Sportsmen are not businessmen, they are puppets for the managers.

But I do agree with the fact that Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos are great businessmen. But Bill Gates is also a genius who wanted to revolutionize the world and worked hard for it, then achieved it. He once worked 3 days straight without sleep to write code for an operating system for IBM(this shows that he is a genius).

Look at the fighting companies they've made, investments...etc. A genius isn't a book worm, its being smart at what you do. Not losing a fight, or coming from nothing to over 100 mill net worth in under 4 years is smart to me. Neither of these individuals could make this kind of money without hard work and business sense. The fighting or coding is what they do, but there's more to a proper business than that.

Working 3 days doesn't make you a genius, he has a hard work ethic and earned it. You can be smart as you like, but with no business sense or work ethic it means jack shit

Are you serious??? You do know that they have teams consisting of 10+ elite financial advisors and lawyers who tell them what to do next, right?

Floyd can barely read, I bet he doesn't even know taxes work. As for McGregor he was doing a plumbing apprenticeship at age 17 lol, meaning he was probably a high school drop out and probably doesn't even understand taxes either.

Cash me ousside girl is probably also worth a couple million dollars and she's only 14, is she smart as well? LOL she must be a business genius.

Are you really claiming that Bill Gates is NOT a genius??? The man who revolutionized PC's is not a genius???

That's what a business is - delegating things to who can do them best. Yeah I can read, but reading hasn't made me hundreds of millons. In that regard I'm smarter than Floyd, but most likely everyone reading this will live an average life and not even see 5 mill in the bank, work 40+ years and claim a shitty pension if they exist. Who's smarter? It depends on your prespective, but being the best boxer and not losing isn't dumb, he can't read but he makes himself and everyone around him so much money, provides so much value - something that's essential in business. Relationships are built on the flow of value.

Same with Conor, and everyone else that came from the bottom. I use to work as a decorator at the age of 16-19, does that make me dumb too? Cash me outside girl destroyed her reputation for millions, if you want money she's played it smart, intelligence isn't being able to read X book, or look cool for everyone, it's achieving your goals. If you want to make millions and do it off your own back, how can you say they're stupid?

Bill Gates has done very well, but I wouldn't say hes a genius. IBM put him on, it's not like he was sat there single handedly and created DOS, then built all of the Windows editions solo until now - it would be poor business practice which is what matters at the end of the day.

Genius and being rich don't always go together, I associate a genius as being book smart say like Einstein, but someone who's street smart say like Floyd/Conor/Escobar...etc.

 

[MisterF]

This was only ever going to end in a win for the boxer, as MMA don't go 12 rounds in competition, I said this from the outset when the fight was announced.

It shouldn't be classed as a qualifying fight for him to get to 50-0, as he wasn't fighting a professional boxer.
This was just a money making exercise and entertainment, but was never a serious bout.

It's akin to a world champ superbike rider who also has a car licence deciding to have a try on formula 1 for a race, because he's a world champion and it's a close enough type of sport. I'd put my money on the racing car driver every time.

And you think that they delegate the things themselves? Really? Lol

Being a businessman requires intelligence, hence why you cannot call these dumb people businessmen, their managers and promotors are the businessmen who know how to sell these people to the world.

Bill Gates did build an operating system by himself to show to IBM...

Floyd is street smart? the guy was raised in a family of champions and rich people... LOL he wouldn't be able to survive in the streets

Makes me wonder, what have you achieved to criticise these people? Give respect where it's due, these people are successful. Bill Gates is a genius in your opinion - but what can you do you justify earning the amount of money any of the people I've talked about earn?

Being smart isn't just reading books and knowing shit, I know a few programming languages but I would get fucked up fighting any capable fighter with 0 doubt. If I played golf with Tiger Woods, raced Lewis Hamilton, 1v1 any esports champ...etc I would lose because I don't have the knowledge they have. I'm smarter with computers, their smarter in their respective fields. The fact they're running up huge numbers shows they know what they're doing - what business do you run?

Look at Conors social medias, the image he portrays, the trash talking... it's all entertainment for his sponsors (relationship based on value), Conors fight promotion company (his own business), his team (more value)...etc. Conor himself has his own following. The people didn't buy the PPV to watch boxing, they came to watch Conor which is why this fight happened. He knows what he is doing, and that's smart. He didn't make the next Windows, but that isn't the pinnicle of intelligence or skill and the proof is in the numbers. You can apply what I just said about Conor to anyone who's successful.

50 Cent is another successful businessman, he didn't study at a top University - but he is a smart businessman without a doubt. Would he get involved with Floyd if there wasn't any value? Would Floyd get involved with Conor if there was no value? The answer is no.

Actions speak louder than words, the show they put on and what goes on behind the scenes are very different. Their money is based off their reputation - money, power and respect
