RE: Countdown to Mayweather vs McGregor PART I: Floyd’s keys to victory

in #boxing7 years ago

Great post man. I too believe Floyd is simply trying to entice more PPV buys by insinuating he's going to take the fight to Conor. His antics and words to me have double meaning. He's doing his part in selling more buys while still playing the psychological warfare game with Conor. I've never heard Floyd talk quite like this before, but also this is a different situation than he's ever been in before. He's truly at the end and has talked as much about his "Girl Collection" as he has about the fight. Makes you stop and think.

It always has seemed to me in the past that Floyd was already thinking about the next fight, the next pay day. Old habits die hard. Could he really be thinking about MayMac 2? Floyd has always done things on his own time. He's extremely intelligent and very, very deliberate. So his actions and words definitely mean something. He commands top dollar and the only person he can get that with is Conor. At the end of the day it's all about the money, and Floyd will follow that money trail wherever it leads. Do I think we see the defensive wizard on Saturday night put on a clinic? Yes, absolutely. Could Floyd have other plans in mind that we don't see that leads to another massive pay day? Yes, absolutely. That's why they call him "Money", because his brilliance as a business man rivals his skills as a fighter.

I think Floyd loves his 0 too much to let it slip to McGregor. But if he can make it close, like the Maidana there many be the demand for a blockbuster rematch!
