Did ya'll see the lifts that Mayweather was wearing for the Mayweather v McGregor fight press conference in NYC? He was getting roasted for them. Imagine if you were made fun of for wearing them regularly.

The weird thing is that both Mayweather and Mc Greggor claim they are 5.8.
But in the pics from conderence Mc Greggor seems to be clearly 1 inch taller than Mayweather and the second wears and lifts too?
If that's true and Mc Greggor does not have insoles (which I believe he has) then Mayweather is less even that 5.7.
Who knows.

[biggerdreams]

I don't think McGregor was wearing insoles for that particular press conference. I don't think Mayweather is 5'8. He's probably 5'6"

[IwannaBeTaller]

Eh, who cares, he's a an extremely talented fighter and more wealthy than all of us'll ever be, and he bangs hot chicks.

Mcgregor is 5'9 and Mayweather is 5'7. This explains the discrepancy in height.

Mcgregor is 5'9 and Mayweather is 5'7. This explains the discrepancy in height.

In celebheights which is very reliable, Mayweather is listed as 1.71 while Mcgregor as 1.74.
1 inch difference.
In pics the difference is more and Mayweather wears lifts. So if Mcgregor doesn't wewr insoles then something is wrong anb maybe Mayweather is 1.69 or something.
But who cares after all.

It's mad funny but it's all fair play.

He most definitely is more wealthy then all forum members combined lifetime earning power haha.

Yeah I'm not ragging on Mayweather. I'd be a hypocrite if I was since I wear lifts myself. I was just commenting on how the media and public view it once it's pointed out.

But like you said, who cares when you're sitting on $400M+

Too obvious when the outer heel is so big. That's why insoles inside the shoe only are better as you can hide it better. And lol if Mayweather was insecure he could have gone secretly to Rozburch or paley and do quadrilateral lengthening and get to 6 feet. When you have that much money though height really is not a issue.

If his height isn't an issue he wouldn't be wearing lifts.

Doubt his ego would allow him to do LL. He has too many goons around him that wouldn't be able to keep the secret and imagine the media sh!t show if the word got out. He might be trying to preserve his athletic ability as well.

It would be interesting to know if he is wearing them to square off with McGregor if he wears them in his everyday life.

[TIBIKE200]

He is a professional boxer. Doing LL will destroy his career and passion.

[Alu]

It really does seem he was more mocked for wearing lifts then say his height... after all him and Mcgregor are just like an inch apart in height; in the stare downs fighters wear different shoes. We'll have to wait till final measuring press conference (where they record their final weights) to see their accurate heights.

[Bander72]

Im saying he dosent care enough to do the surgery. Unless he does not know that it exist. He can easily afford in secret to do it with a top doctor. And even though he probably done after that 50th win so atheletic ability dont matter as much he would not do it since his money trumps everything.

Of course he can do LL theoretically.
But simply from a box legend he would become someone who wouldn't fight successfully even a c class boxer.
So in another words, practically no he can't do LL because he will ruin his legend, even if he stops boxing professionally. Maybe when he reach 45-50 when noone would care about his skills he could do it but there is no reason for doing LL at that age after all, especially for someone so rich and famous.
The same applies to Mcgreggor too as he is also less than average.

[Thatdude950]

it's all a show. He was probably instructed to wear them for better photos. As if a hundred millionaire arguable GOAT gives a   about a few inches

Money does not transcend insecurities.

[MrHandsome]

This whole fiasco really divulges the truth about height unfortunately. Even if you are a multi-millionaire who is humble and hard working, people will still make comments about your height. It really sucks being short.

[LLSouthAmerica]

At 5'8 - 5'9, people who try to bring people down about their heights are stupid as they are not too far from the average. Of course, he wouldn't do this surgery, he is fearsome, rich and famous, and his entire life is based on athletism. It would be stupid of him to do this surgery now and maybe he would consider it later in life if at all. He could get most likely all kinds of women, people respect him as he is at the top of his sport, and even the tallest dudes would think twice before entering in a fight with him.
