"I'm Peter McNeeley from Medford, Mass and I'm here to kick Mike Tyson's Ass"
-The Irish Hurricane,1995
Tyson made a then record $36,000,000
McNeely was kindly paid half a million for his 89 seconds of work...
Whose buying Wolf Tickets??
500k for 89 seconds of work and a little brain trauma ain't that bad. lol
So in this narrative, Floyd is Mike Tyson and Conor is Peter fucking McNeely? I can't follow on either count.

Smart guy. Conor is there to lose and collect a check
Tyson made 72 times more then McNeeley, a lamb being led to slaughter. Although he entered the fight with a 36-1 record almost all of his opponents had losing records. PM was an all time great can crusher that posed zero risk to Tyson coming off the 4+ year layoff after prison sentence.
Even if Floyd makes twice as much as CM then Connor is the big winner here, bigger pay day then anyone in MMA could ever dream. Floyd gets win #50 without the risk of facing a legitimate opponent with actual boxing credentials other then being one of the best self promoters of this era in any sport.
Everything we see at these press conferences, behind the scenes footage, countdown shows are just guys selling Wolf Tickets.
This might as well be James "The Grim Reaper" Roper vs "Irish" Terry Conklin from 20 years ago. You young guys that never heard of them Google "Great White Hype Movie". It was very entertaining
Lol at this god awful comparison.
