Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather | Again?

I mentioned earlier that UFC prelims often have the arena only about 1/4 full

But this is ridiculous, main card is well under way at it looks like about 200 people are there

Boxing fans are shit
 
Has the fight started? Im getting confusing views of start timings.
4 more bouts to go before the main event.

Totally shite quality to this point. You're not missing much.

Thought the under card would be a bit better.

Imagine thinking the people in attendance today are actual boxing fans. Boxing fans can't afford $5k tickets.
 
This bout is a great example of what's wrong with boxing.

Despite the best efforts of the commentators to big it up, a 27 year old 'up and coming' fighter against a 41 year old journey man, showing nothing. Another dull 10 rounder, predictable result, everyone gets paid and that's that.
 
This undercard is the reason I can only ever watch the big boxing fights

It's been a tough slog. For me, MMA is far and away the better and more entertaining sport

They're also unlikely to be all that excited by a fight between a boxer and a bloke who's never boxed.

The one going on at the moment is dross. But the one before, I think it was OK.
 
Apparently the UFC fight pass Ppv stream has crashed due to demand

Amateur hour for UFC if they cannot get it back up and running

Also Helwani has confirmed McGregor is now 170, as expected
 
Feck all? Even his trainer told him to aim higher a couple of times.

The second deduction was a completely legitimate body punch, but even still a unanimous decision?

Edit: you catch that punch at the end of the last round? Right hook about 3 seconds after the ref called stop? Where was the warning/deduction for that? About 75% of these fights are decided before they even step into the ring.
 
Oh god, an hour or two to go...
 
I suppose i should think about putting a stream on. I have been so embarrassed for the sport to see that fecking prick walking around that i just can't get that interested. I am currently watching Schwienstieger wander around a pitch in Chicago like an overweight granddad.
 
Sorry if there is a river request ban in this thread, put if you could throw one my way, Id really appreciate it.

Good for you that you skipped the undercard, you saved yourself more embarrassment! Terrible!
 
still looks a bit empty in the arena.

It didn't sell out.

The fight won't be on til 5am uk time. I don't think any vegas main event has ever been before 5. 9pm-10pm is perfect for it (Vegas time)

I'm gonna be in so much trouble with the wife in the morning :(

At least the fight will be better than most of the undercard.
 
It didn't sell out? I'm surprised tbh.

It's a massive stadium and there's only so many tens of thousands of people who are stupid enough to overpay so much. The entertainment to dollar spent ratio will be appaling.
 
Should i go to bed, or sit up and wait for this?
Can't make up my mind.

Work tomorrow 6pm.
 
The media in the US has been fecking shoving this fight down our throats for ages now and I still don't know a single person who will buy this fight. How can you tell me to pay $100 for this match and then a minute later brag how it's going to be an easy victory for the disgusting human being that beats women. They're making it seem like an obligation. In reality, if the thug wins, we'll all forget about it come Monday. All a money grab.
