I would say you have to admire McGregor's balls but for $100m I think we'd all step in the ring.

RIP qcon viewership/attendance

Fair play mcgregor shit talked his way into $50 million +

Terrible news for sport. But then it's a win/win for them I guess so whatever.

But yeah, I'll still be watching it... find a stream, I'm not paying for that shit.

Win win for me seeing as I don't really like either of them (though I respect their ability), so I get to see one of them knocked out, unless its rigged which is very possible.

Neither of them need the money, MW has a legacy to lose.
The Irish guy has nothing to lose (as his rep is in another sport-what you gonna say, haha you lost to someone who never lost a pro fight you bum!), so even if he loses, he wins.

So MW must be confident, which is not surprising.

I dunno, I'll wait it, but more looking forward to.

Fury/Wilder/Joshua/klitschko clash, they should all be a good slug fest, where neither wants to lose.

The only way it could ever be rigged is if it was in favor of Mayweather. Even Stevie Wonder would scream bullshit on McGregor winning for literally any reason at all.

They will use regular boxing rules, not even MMA gloves like it was speculated. Connor has no chance.

Indeed he doesn't. It really wasn't going to be MMA gloves, Mayweather breaking his brittle hands was one of his few ways of losing, perhaps as likely getting clipped and knocked out. Being the master of dominating people in deals, we really couldn't expect anything else.

Something I was surprised at was the 155 weight limit. This really favors McGregor, and I think it was expected that he'd be forced to starve himself out and go to 147. But apparently no. He's probably really happy about that. Perhaps this was agreed to to force the heavier 10 pound gloves?

A show on this with two of the best MMA journalists, in case anyone's interested:

rofl both worked together playing the media for x amount of days to get the hype up for ppv sales. this is just a money grab for both, mcgregor could give 2 fucks about the outcome of the exhibition. he is retired after this anyway.

Mayweather will put all his money on McG and throw the fight.

Hes all about money, legacy is second.

Yeah its a conspiracy theory :D

You know you're not allowed to do that right?

You know someone he trusts can do it right?

How much money do you think he can put into it secretly before he is found out, gets sued, loses hundreds of millions from this fight, his promotions are shut down and his management / brand career prospects are over?

I need Renato Laranja's take on this complex matter.

Don't we all. He did retweet this:

Hope conor loses his shit around round 9and roundkicks his balls sterile

that would be boring

a head kick KO, now were talking : )

This gonna be 2es

meh

$$

theyre both obnoxious cunts so im happy to see them beat eachothers heads in.

I won't be watching because I don't care but just one observation: people who like the purity of the sport and are displeased with the fight but will still watch it are contributing (albeit in a small way) to something that they then complain about.

Sounds like the majority of esr QC stream viewer :thinking:

MMA fans are deluded, Connor has no chance.

Mma fans know better than most that this is only a freakshow for moneys.

It's the people that don't follow combact sports, the videogame players, that thinks this is a real fight.

And the saddest thing is that most are starting to believe in it.

In the last week there's been an influx of videos and comments about how Conor might win (despite not being a boxer and not being able to even bother an unranked sparring partner), or that Conor could say fuck it and kick Floyd's head. That's the firt thing they wrote in the contract. Mma moves are not allowed and will cost shittons of money if attempted.

But people are drinking it up. The masses are so stupid. "Useful idiots" indeed as Marx defined them.

This fight should be a flop economically if people reasoned with their head. Instead, it will be a huge success.

Well, kudos to both, in scamming so many.

Particular to Mc Gregor, the best self promoter ever. In 4 years went from being an unemployed broke plumbing apprentice to fighting one of the boxing greats as a 0-0 for tens of millions.

It's the real life version of quake champions. Come up with some contrived shitshow and hope the name(s) will carry everyone involved to a nice payday.

The discussion between MMA fans and Boxing fans is how much of a chance he has, usually ranging from literally zero to 5% or something.

MMA fans are actually more knowledgeable about combat sports in general than anyone, and they constantly see good boxers/wrestlers/other specialists come in and do well if they manage to adapt.

MMA fans =/= Conor fans
