Thread: mcgregor v mayweather

  1. #1

    mcgregor v mayweather

    I'm sure others have read it but that Guardian article about Mcgregor I think is a great read:

    https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...ing-or-bury-it

    They went to New York the previous home of boxing and spoke to some of the proper old wisehead:

    “This fight isn’t bad for boxing,” DiBella says. “Boxing’s been bad for boxing for a long time now. It went from being one of the one or two biggest sports in America to, in a half-century, becoming marginalized.

    “The decline of boxing was hastened by the fact there is no monopoly in boxing. There is no one dominant company in boxing. Boxing has had a decline largely based on its own inability to govern itself. There hasn’t been a sensible business model or paradigm for the industry in years and years.”


    And most importantly:

    “I don’t believe anyone’s getting cheated, I don’t believe it’s immoral or unethical,” DiBella says. “It is what it is. The world is the world. There are a lot of things I shake my head at all the time in 21st-century America. People like events and celebrity and conflict and immediate gratification.

    “I don’t understand the Kardashians being stars. I don’t understand Housewife shows. But let’s cut all the self-righteousness, let’s cut all the pseudo-intellectual analysis and cut to the bottom line. It’s happening because a lot of people want to pay to see it.”



    Apple, the next games console, terrible youtube videos, soulless disney characters all created to trick your children and in turn bleed you dry etc etc. All created to bleed you dry.

    Will you be watching? I am going to tune in I think but not paying full wack.

    I can't stand Mayweather but I can't stand Mgregor more. Today he's talking about ripping Floyds head off and kicking it around like a football.

    I don't give a shit about this silly wwe fight. It's ridiculous, so ridiculous that i can't even face reading what is said in the op.

    Pathetic that Floyd will beat Marciano's record by beating someone who can't box.

    Even more pathetic is the non boxer is getting 100m US dollars for it

    Makes a mockery of those with far more skill, who have dedicated their lives to it, who will never get anywhere near that kind of pay day

    Ye there really isn't a good guy in this. Both full time dicks.

    And what is worse is they're both winners regardless of the result.

    It is a giant waste of time. I am more interested in watching their ring entrances and all the stuff around it.

    If I had to choose a winner I think id want mayweather. We wouldnt hear the end of it if CM does it.

    Hopefully they will both knock each other out cold at exactly the same time ala Rocky Balboa.

    I won't be paying for it. Eddie Hearn has ripped us off enough as it with his mismatches.

    It's no lose for McGregor. He's expected to lose and if he does he will just go back to UFC with his 100m cheque in his pocket.

    Its all going to go off at 6 am Sunday morning. Which is too much to keep going from a Saturday night out, and its not an attractive enough proposition for me to get up that early to watch it.

    Ali had charisma and stage presence, something these two really lack

    Mayweather has been drifting out in odds, with nothing coming out of the McGregor camp to justify it.
    A part of me is wondering if this fight is going to be completely legit. Half a mind to put a bet on a draw.

    A "shock" Mayweather loss, a rematch, and a decider. Sounds plausible.

    If MacGregor loses his head, not literally, I can see him chucking in a few kicks and other illegal moves. Could be really funny.

    Hyped like a wrestling match.In my time the bigger the hype the bigger the disappointment.It'll be something else in 12 months,the next biggest thing since time began.

    No he wont, there are heavy penalty clauses in the contract, that mean Mcgregor will lose his payday if he does this.
