Mayweather-McGregor is a disgrace to the sport. Would the NSAC even give McGregor a license?

ok so I'm 22 years old now. Been lost in the struggle since I got kicked out of school at 16. 
Just working on dead end factory and warehouse jobs because that's all I could get. I have a criminal record with some fukked up charges that will seriously hinder my ability to get into the workplace.
But I've had some great life experiences and traveled a lot purely because of my athletic ability. I was supposed to become a professional soccer player but I quit when I started going through my troubles at 16. But I traveled a lot for free that my team paid for. And then I started amateur boxing and traveled all over my country fighting. I'm a talented athlete but I don't have the discipline to become professional especially in such a tough sport as boxing.
I've traveled a lot and seen a lot of places and countries for someone my age and income bracket.
I'm sitting here mulling over life and I remember as a child I always read children geography books and atlases. I love the outdoors period that's why I couldn't make it in school i have to be moving around or outside, I can't be sat down for long periods of time.
All this shyt has literally just came flooding back to me. I remember I always wanted a camcorder more than anything as a child. I think camcorders were a lot more expensive back then around early 2000s. Anyway I never got one and I sacrificed a lot of my childhood for this football/soccer shyt.
Even tho I'm very good at sports in general it's never been my real passion.
My real passion is the outdoors and I'm 100% certain right now I want to become a photographer and make a living off my photos.
I'm not the kind of person that's going to be sat in an office or slaving away in these factories. Outside of boxing I've been completely at a loss at what path to take.
But this is what I want

But this is what I want
I had a genuine epiphany today. This is something I really want to do and could easily see myself doing for the rest of my life. I can start life anew with a actual real goal and something I love doing.
Khan turned down the fight....facts.
Porter accepted the fight........facts.
Broner, unlike Brook, has been named P4P, has won more Championships, is more relevant, has jumped 2 divisions and won, and has a better resume............................................facts.
At the end of the day breh, you UK Brook fans should learn to stay on topic. Instead of hating on AB, who's shoes Brook would LOVE to be in, y'all need to be worried about Errol Spence who ain't coming to play games.
Don't make this another case of one of my fighters coming into someone else's backyard and leaving with their belts and their bytch
#TruthSeekers
If i remember correctly, Broner turned down the fight with Khan at 147 . . . and wanted it at 140 . .or 144 . . claiming he wasn't a WW. Facts . . .
I aint even a Brook fan like that

2x...and defending
Dan Rafael chat wrap 3/10:
- Has rewatched Thurman vs. Garcia and there is no way you can give Garcia 7 rounds.
- Doubts we get a Thurman vs. Garcia rematch anytime soon.
- CBS was very happy with the ratings for Thurman-Garcia.
- Angel Garcia was being a very sore loser. Made Trinidad and Cotto sound gracious.
- Rigondeaux vs. Flores could be on an April PBC card, little chance Roc Nation puts on a card.
- The Beterbiev fight not happening is all on Barrera. Both teams know the rules of a purse bid and it was no different than any other. Beterbiev also agreed to fight in Miami because Barrera cannot travel to Canada. If Barrera wanted more money, his team should have bid more. Barrera will now drop from the IBF's rankings for at least 6 months.
- Would have picked Beterbiev to beat Barrera by KO.
- We already have some defacto tourneys going on at 147, 154, and 126. Would like to see Schaefer's tournament be at 130 and cruiserweight. Believes the tournament will happen, only question is what quality of fighters can he get.
- GB saying that if GGG tries to fight in June it will put a fall fight between him and Canelo in jeopardy sounds like a preemptive duck.
- Fernando Vargas vs. Canelo at 154? Would be fun and interesting. Would pick Canelo because he is a better boxer and puncher.
- Hopefully we see Wilder vs. Parker in the fall. Wilder may be forced to have a rematch with Stiverne, which would be pointless.
- Still talks going on trying to make Crawford vs. Diaz. If they don't make the fight it is a disgrace.
- Ward and Kovalev are still trying to come to a rematch agreement. Still thinks that a June rematch is likely.
- If the IBF grants Beterbiev his mandatory motion, since Barrera bailed on their fight, Beterbiev would become Ward's mandatory, or the winner of Ward-Kovalev 2's mandatory.
- Beterbiev vs. Pascal would not be a good fight for Pascal.
- Rank excitement for the following on a 1-10 scale: Ward-Kovalev (7), Ward-Beterbiev (5), Kovalev-Beterbiev (8).
- Doesn't blame Bellew for looking to cash in at HW, but a Wilder fight makes no sense and likely won't happen.
- Salido will likely fight on the undercard of Canelo-JCC.
- Mosley's next opponent Magomed Kurbanov is a real prospect.
- Andrade should beat Culcay easily.
- Lemieux vs. Stevens? Lemieux.
- If GB is lining up the Lemieux vs. Stevens winner as Canelo's next opponent that is not interesting.
- More impressive: Hurd or Lubin? Lubin.
- 90's group at 147 vs. todays? The group in the 90's was much better.
- Conlan's fight will be televised on UniMas.
- Has Pacquiao ranked number 1 at 147, but Spence would be a rough fight for him.
- It is possible that Pacquiao may go back to Horn as an opponent.
- Pacquiao vs. Thurman? Doubtful.
- Loeffler is denying it, but a GGG vs. BJS June fight is basically done.
- GGG vs. Jacobs should determine who is the lineal champ at 160. Canelo vacated when he dropped down to 154 to get a title.
- Can see Garcia vs. Easter happening, but likely not next. Garcia will fight June/July on Showtime and Easter will take his mandatory vs. Shafikov.
- LSC vs. Valdez is the best fight to be made at 126.
- Interested in Lomachenko vs. Gamboa? Not really, Gamboa has wasted years of his career. More interested in Lomachenko vs. Garcia.
- Crolla vs. Linares? Linares again.
- Adamek vs. Briggs was a blood bath fight.
- Not sure why HBO hasn't televised the Arum documentary they were doing.
- No news on Rob Brant.
- Has rewatched Thurman vs. Garcia and there is no way you can give Garcia 7 rounds.

RIP MR. SMOKE
I'm not even talking about the uppercut, I'm talking about that jab that had him crip walking across the ring. he never recovered from that shyt. it was hard jab but damn....shyt is rare as fukk to see a guy get that stunned off a jab.
