Anyone going to be watching this weekend? Ringside seats averaging around 100K per ticket, 156K for suites 100$ to watch on pay per view I'm sorry, if I pay 100K to watch a fight someone better die in the ring If this isn't about stuffing pockets.... I don't know what is.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO6cIlxMhco |

Probably going to be the most boring fight of all time on top of it also. Haven't seen this much hype since "The Great White Hope"

Yep....friends of mine have a fantasy football group and are doing their initial picks for the season on Saturday night. After they finish everyone who wants to stay and watch the "event" can chip in $X to cover the PPV. If we get 10-15 guys participating it won't be so painful on the wallet.

Last fight I saw was Moneyweather and Pacman fight. If maydancer would have actually had to box instead of dance,pacman would have worn him down to a nub. But.....the dance routine won him the fight. Money maker, yes, real fighter, not so much. He'll win this one too, because he doesen't ;Dhave to do anything but dance around, land a punch once in a while. I'd love to see them tie there waists together with about a 4 foot rope and watch them battle it out. Now that would be a fight.

He's done that his entire career. I don't remember one fight of his that he wasn't on the bicycle. But, you can't blame him. It's made him rich beyond measure. |

Yeah, it'll be Mayweather dancing and jabbing, avoiding a fight. McGregor will be taunting and chirping, trying to lure him into a fight. Mayweather will dance and jab for 10 rounds until Mac gasses then maybe TKO him. Having said that, I'd love if they came out swinging and Mac knocked him out in 2. |

Being a fan of McGregor I would like to see him beat Mayweather into the ground as some justice for all the women Mayweather has beat on. He deserves a serious ass whipping.

There's a bunch more Tiger - Yankee games. The fighting is really piss poor, but the energy and determination is so much better than professional boxing. And it's way more than just two guys.   |

Maybe....just maybe, these two idiots will knock some sense into their heads and that will be the last we hear from/of them. Yeah I know.....wishful thinking. The last real scrape I got into was in the Air Force, only thing that saved me from brig time was everyone in the barracks said I was defending myself. When the instigator came to his senses(woke up) in the dispensary, he admitted to it. He then was sent on a 30 day convalescent leave, after which he was discharged from the AF. Can't imagine doing something like that for a living. Maybe we'll get lucky and it will end this way.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja4pXfr4REw |

My favorite fight of all time was Marvelous Marvin Hagler vs. Hitman Tommy Hearns One of the all-time thieveries in boxing history was awarding the championship fight between Hagler vs. Leonard to Sugar Ray. Hagler won that fight convincingly and it was given to Leonard because he was prettier. Marvin beat on his pretty face and brought the fight to Leonard, who was dancing and moving backward for most of the fight. Leonard wouldn't give the Marvelous Man a rematch; not an honorable man, but he was wise because Hagler would have killed him if given one more shot at pretty boy. After that theft, Hagler gave up the ring, moved to Italy and married an Italian girl. I don't blame him one bit. They took his title, but they didn't take his dignity. |

that is what they do, BLOW millions up there noses..... Personally, I would fight back in the day Mike Tyson for a cool 1 million. I may not last 2 rounds, but can take a punch or two or three for that kind of dough.. |

A million would buy a nice headstone and have plenty left over for his survivors.  Tyson put down professionals in less than thirty seconds! Cookiedough would have been "baked".

If you see most heavyweight fights most do nothing more than stand there like a big duffus and not throw many punches. I can do that being a big duffus.... I just heard the payout might be as high as 700 million. O.K., I upped my pay from 1 million to 50 million and if was Tyson, I would protect my ears from being bitten off as well.... |

Chipping in with a Buddy for the PPV. This fight wouldn't even be an undercard back in the day of real fighters. I am to young but remember my father talking about Jake Lamotta and Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson, and I remember Roberto Duran, Tommy Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, Hagler, Joe Frazier/Ali. Hell even Rocky Balboa was more entertaining I see this farce of a fight going the distance and Numbnuts Fairweather winning on points. There is No way he Knocks out McGregor, he is used to getting round housed by a kick to the head, I doubt Floyd can hit that hard. McGregor cant Box so he will be chasing Floyd all over the ring, while the 100K seats are yelling at them to fight !!! Maybe by the 7/8 th round McGregor gets pissed off from chasing Floyd and goes MMA on his ass, and the fight is stopped due to breach of contract....  My 2 cents |

Meh... This fight is a joke, McGregor is going through a meat grinder fighting with boxe rules against Mayweather.
Mayweather was kind of a chicken never fighting Pacquio when the later was on his prime.

Just read that they are not even close to a sell out. Media hype has not apparently helped sell tickets.

I've never been into boxing... never saw the sense of 2 men beating each other up...
The whole idea is to fight only when forced to, and then there are no rules - get it over and done with ASAP.
