you just repeated the same conversation that was on ESPN when i was working out, they're just regurgitating what newscasters are flinging about.

Nah, Mayweather could slip and fall and injure himself between rounds.

Roy Jones was a very entertaining boxer, not only because he threw fists like a madman, but he was also an entertainer in the ring with his antics.
Mayweather is simply the most defensive boxer we've probably ever seen. Technically sound, he BOXES, he doesn't FIGHT. It makes for very boring boxing based around winning points each round. Basically, the other boxer can never land a clean blow on Mayweather because of his awareness/defensive stance, Mayweather frustrates them because they can't land anything, he throws counterpunches and rarely ever engages offensively outside of that, and they're generally gassed by round 8-9 while Mayweather is still bouncing around. He was more aggressive in his "Pretty Boy" days.
Watch his fight vs. De La Hoya. Keep in mind, this is one of the best boxers of our time. You'll see how Floyd keeps Oscar at bay during the early rounds with most punches landing on the shoulders (great defense), and seizes control in the later rounds to win the bout. As much of a piece of shit he is, he's one of the best boxers I've personally ever seen.
For the record, I think Lomachenko is the best boxer pound for pound today.

I mean it's all this press shit is almost always highly staged for entertainment value, but this is extreme. It's amazing how much hype there is for this shitshow when there's GGG vs Canelo not long afterwards and that's a legit awesome matchup.

Rigo's team won't let him, I imagine. Loma seemed pretty fired up about it, but it could've been all bullshit.
Rigo vs. Flores 2 should happen in November, so I'm hoping Rigo wins and calls out Loma.

What are the realistic ways in which mayweather would get himself DQ'd? Can conor get in his head and make him keep punching after a break or something?

That sort of thing usually involved warnings and point deductions first so it would have to happen several times. Same with like low blows or punches to the back etc. He could of course pull a Tyson and bite the man or something too I guess.

No I don't think Mayweather will dirty up his pristine record with a DQ loss. I was just saying that's the only way Connor could potentially win the bout, something bizzare would have to happen.
Mayweather is actually very relaxed in the ring and has dealt with headbutting, rabbit punches, low blows and even kissing (fag Victor Ortiz got knocked out for his trouble) and reacted professionally. He never resorted to bitch tactics he simply further dominated his opponent.
