Its an objectively stupid fight but obviously from Danas perspective theres also the fact that Usman, a current champ and p4p no1, would end up KTFO inside 3 rounds, and its a terrible look. A lot of the people that see it, casuals in particular, are not going to look at the finer points of the situation ie Usman being limited by the rules etc, they're just gonna see him face down on the canvas, and it will severely damage his credibility.

usman might be better than connor but hes not as famous doenst have the massive fanbase connor did.


why would dana white allow his curret champ to go get slumped by canelo, its pointless

mcgreggor was innactive in UFC and the fight was so big to not pass up. Dana didnt want to do it at first remember but it made sense in that case for the crossover fight.

fight doesn't last 2 rounds. clenelo stops him. i always side with the boxer. these UFC clowns need to stay in their lane.

Not a good matchup. Also usman isnt blockbuster like mcgregor. Mcgregor vs mayweather was 2 blockbuster artist yet the boxer wasnt a ko artist. Usman vs canelo under boxing canelo would landslide usman and althe #s 2m max. Yeah an easy payday for canelo yet dana isnt going to sacrafise his champ unless record breaking. Lastly usman lack of selling 1m in his own sport, canelo would get similar ppv #s yet more respect in boxing community vs facing beterbiev

Ummm who asking to see Connor vs Floyd??? Connor had a big following in MMA and it sparked interest because it was crossover fight but did anyone really think Connor could win? Floyd carried him to make it look good and he even admitted this.

I don't know much about Usman but I know Conor was famous for being the best striker in MMA and thus the best person they could put up vs a boxer.

No MMA fighter is giving a world level boxer any issues in a Boxing match.

Yes, casuals thought he could win.

Several of my friends placed bets on him and thought he had at least some chance of a KO.

Nelo is not going to waste time with someone not related to boxing.
Especially if it won't generate $500 mil.

Whyte's no mug. He's been putting the kibosh on these fights for a reason.

He's more likely to let a big name boxer go to the octagon and get humiliated in front of the world than he is to let his fighters get toyed around with for 10 rounds (McGregor), or else get KTFO by a nobody.
