Muhammed Lawal Won’t Pay $100 To Watch Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather

Muhammed Lawal says he’s not going to pay the high price to watch Conor McGregor battle Floyd Mayweather this weekend. Lawal told MMAjunkie that he wasn’t willing to pay the $99.95 HD price to see the boxing fight, which takes place on Saturday.

“Me, I’ll wait to watch it on Facebook,” Lawal said. “I’m not going to pay $100 to watch a guy make his pro debut versus a guy that’s 49-0, looking for his 50th win – a five-time world champion, a guy that’s a bronze medalist in the Olympics that should have won gold, a guy that’s been boxing his whole life, comes from a family of boxers. I’m not going to watch that mismatch.”

Lawal said that he doesn’t think McGregor has a chance, noting, “(McGregor) boxed for the early part of his life, and then he went to MMA. The moemnt you leave what you’re doing and go into a different sport, your whole game, your level changes on that. It’s like wrestling. I can’t go back and wrestle these guys at the U.S. Open. I’d get smashed because I have not wrestled at that level (in so long)…(Mayweather) is going to go out there, walk Conor down behind his high guard, and just beat him up. It’s a mismatch. Just like when James Toney fought Randy Couture: mismatch. It is what it is.”
