    Only thing worse than that presser will be the fight itself.

    If it wasn't in America i'd genuinely feel sorry for the mug punters who sweated their nuts off for over 2 hours waiting for that nonsense.

    floyd tosses $1 bills at conor then has his bodyguards surround him.


    conor is out of his fucking depth and honestly looks terrified when it happens.

    haha, Floyd making it rain on Conor was pretty epic. Floyd can do whatever he wants since he knows Conor can't lose his cool or the big payday will be off for him.

    Conor can obviously tear him apart verbally but they can just cut his mic.

    Everything is set up for Floyd since he's the boss when it comes to this fight. Floyd is in control pre fight, during the fight, and post fight. Money talks and without Floyd Conor has zero chance at a 25+ million dollar payday. Those don't happen in the UFC.

    I like Conor more, but he will actually be Floyd's bitch throughout this whole process.

    Havent seen this much shit shoveled since the Conner Diaz Saga.. Those 2 truly hated each other though. I'm beginning to think Connor is getting pissed with Floyd and its unusual to see somebody get inside Conners head (honestly other then Diaz I haven't seen it). Not gonna lie I'm a sucker and gonna watch it somehow (although its probably gonna be at BWWs just cant justify shelling out the cash for me alone to watch it or could watch it at one of the Casino Arizona locations they charge $10/head though)

    I must be seeing this through different optics. Have to be honest, all of this prefight shit is getting me worked up. I am excited to see the fight.

    Make senses. It gives them plenty of time to choreograph it all; I would do the same thing. How they execute the "douche off" for all the affliction shirt-wearing sheep could be the difference of 10s of millions of dollars for them both.

    whats the over/under on the PPV handle on this one?

    does it top the #2 spot of Floyd-canelo at $150?

    I personally think it is going to be a major disappointment PPV wise. These two will still clean up but it wont set records. The price point is high and many true boxing fans are going to see through it for the joke it is .

    Also, does the EU ever pay for these fights? I think i recall they get these things for free on Sky Sports or whatever it is. That could be a big deal given Ireland.

    The target audience is so much wider than just a boxing match. You're getting all the ufc crowd and all the casuals who don't follow either sport but will still watch it

    Can't speak for the rest of Europe, but we've never been charged PPV for ANY MMA fight.

    Could be wrong on this. But other than Mayweather/Pacquiao, which was £20 PPV, I don't believe we've ever been charged for a fight that didn't involve a British fighter.

    And when we do get hit for PPV, it's fights such as Joshua/klitschko, which I think was around £18.

    Lot's of talk in how much, if any, we will be charged for this fight. They'll obv go with whatever they think they'll get away with. But not a chance it'll be over £20. And even then I think the public will turn their noses up at that. Because like you said, the fight is a huge joke, and that's how it's seen over here too.

    He probably means that McGregor has never had a professional boxing match.

    12/1, lol. Unless Floyd is shot to shit (not likely), it should be 120/1.

    So for arguments sake, let's just say that Conor lands that big, bad, powerful left hand. And then let's assume that Floyd doesn't just fall down and die.

    The fuck do people think is going to happen then? If Floyd wants to move, and box, and keep Conor away, he'll do it for 12 rounds without breaking a sweat.

    Boxing is as much about the feet as it is the hands. The difference in foot speed and placement in this fight is going to be fucking L. O. L.
    What he lacks in footwork and boxing ability, he makes up for in power, size, timing, age, heart and sheer competitive edge.

    Don't think he's that much of a dog really

    You know what tho, there could be some kind of fix involved with the kind of money at stake, gotta factor that into the equation too.

    yeah but the UFC crowd isn't enough to move the needle PPV wise are they? never ordered a UFC PPV but just guessing the UFC price point is a helluva lot lower than 100 bucks too...sure that's gonna cause a lot of sticker shock to people...
