Anyone watching the fight?

[rudebhoy]

Could be a total farce, but I'm intrigued and planning on watching it.

Only question is whether to have a couple of hours kip beforehand - tempted to sit up and watch the full card, but probably not the best preparation for tomorrow's round!

Nah , was tempted to get it only €26 , dont think it should be happening if im honest but hey ho money talks ,
if mayweather is 80%of what he was he wil avoid avoid avoid then counterpunch one of mcgregors big left hand , 8oz gloves wil help cmg if he lands a punch it will have more effect , also less gloves to block with for FM (not alot but)
i think CMG is trying to to what Steve Collins did to Chris Eubank and unsettle him by acting mad , Kavanagh will have CMG in best of condition but FM has beaten ppl ALOT better than CMG

 

[chrisd]

No, wouldn't waste my money

 

[Stegsie]

Would rather stick pins in my eyes.

The entire thing is a complete joke and making a farce of boxing. Boxing is, without a doubt, my favourite sport and has been for the last 30+ years. The idea of one of the greatest ever boxers, at 49-0, can have a competitive boxing match against a guy who's never boxed professionally before (ignore his MMA pedigree- different sport entirely) it's a disgrace.

Sure, I'll check the news in the morning but no way I'll be watching the fight. I also reckon that there will be something controversial that stops it - be it a bad stoppage or a DQ.

Floyd has fought 26 of his 28 world title fights wearing 8oz gloves. This isn't anything new to him.

Odds of 1/4 on a Mayweather win should be the easiest way to make 25% tax free profit overnight, but I've just got a feeling something mental could happen.

McGregor is going to be about a stone heavier than Mayweather, gives him a punchers chance.

About the size of it for me. I'll look at result tomorrow but no way I'm paying for this farce

 

[Pin-seeker]

I won't be watching live.
Might try and watch it tomorrow.
It's entertainment & will be watched by millions worldwide.
I can't see why people have such a problem with it tbh.

What fight?

It's nothing but a preposterous and cynically shameful moneygrabbing sham.

I pay Sky an absolute fortune already and wouldn't give them another penny. In my opinion I should get it for free anyway, but even if I did I wouldn't watch it. A massive con.

Just be thankful that you've got the option of not paying for it then 👍🏻

Gutted to be missing it live. Currently on holiday in Spain and fly home in the morning. Will not be able to avoid the result but will still watch when home.

As a fan of both codes I'm open minded to it. It's not a sham or a farce. It's a money making exercise. McGregor hasn't jumped any queue. It's not for a title. It was the biggest pay day for Mayweather and that is why he took it, well that and I imagine him seeing it as an easy win. It piques my interest, and millions of others around the world due to McGregor's self promotion and self belief. Mayweather is often accused of being boring to watch. McGregor does not have this problem. I think it has a bit edge in the crossing of the codes and that puts extra pressure on Mayweather to perform or risk being beaten by a novice. I don't see what people's problem with it is.

For what I pay Sky every month then I'd much rather have the option of being given it at no further charge but then choosing not to watch it. :thup:

Making a social occasion of it. In Belfast for the weekend so heading to a mate's soon with some beer, gin and a cheesy CMcG tshirt. 😁

[BrianM]

I'll be watching it, only because i'm on night shift and the rig has paid to get the fight.
If i was at home, not a chance i'd be paying for it.

 

[pokerjoke]

Yes I'm watching intrigued by what might happen.

 

[jdpjamesp]

Won't be watching it. Don't do Sky anyway. Or boxing for that matter. Bit ironic that I'm still up though...

 

[BubbaP]

I seem to be awake (no alarm set), so radio now on.

 

[Slab]

Time diff means it 7am here and fight is on my sports pack so i'll give it a watch till the golf highlights come on

 

[Captainron]

Up and waiting.
