Following are some of their reactions-

  • See this would actually be interesting
  • Further confirmation Floyd is broke
  • Counter left hook and down for the count. We all know Aldo isn’t going to win. His pay day will probably be 20/80 and 10% of PPV, he ain’t winning but will get a good payday out of it for being knocked out.
  • Floyd’s boxing advantage is so huge that Aldo should be allowed to kick
  • Wow just imagine if Floyd doesn’t take it seriously and then Jose somehow someway edges him out in a close one
  • Floyd just doing side quests in his free time.
  • Now this I can watch… Jose might slightly do better than Conor but still lose
  • If he beats Jose ( which I would not want) Floyd is gonna be the only world champ boxer to defeat TWO mma world champions
  • I’ll gladly watch Aldo make some money.

What are your thoughts on Aldo vs. Mayweather in boxing? Do you think he will do better than McGregor?
