Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor is August 26th 2017
I'd pay 100$ to watch Mayweather/GGG.
I'd pay 100$ to watch McGregor/Khabib.
But Mayweather/McGregor doesn't make any sense. It's the biggest freak-show since Mike Tyson wanted to fight a gorilla...But at least Tyson would have done it for free. Well technically, he would have paid the zookeeper, so he would have lost money, and possibly his life... True story!

I don't understand the money comments. Are you really going to buy a PPV by yourself?
This is one of the biggest fights in history. Basically an excuse to have people come over your place, drink beer, socialize and watch a fight. Just have people chip in or find someone who has it and chip in that way.
Well, after that can't read comment. I know mayweather is going to win. Anybody thinks he's going to let that go? Wow, don't make fun of people who can't read. They tend to get aggressive.

What are the odds that Floyd ends up broke one day? It would be shocking but for now it's not out of the question. He already long ago made enough to never have to get out of bed for the rest of his life. But, who knows? He apparently spends up to $10 000 a month on haircuts.
Very, very low IMO.
Floyd isn't stupid. And it appears he has a great team around him managing his money.
He isn't Evander Holyfield, he's more like George Foreman.
MAKING money he has the best team in the history of boxing. Managing his money? Not so much.
After 5 minutes of arguing with Floyd Senior, McGregor cracks a smile and says "you're a fan, admit it".
That was gold. Possibly more entertaining than the fight will be...

The $99.99 PPV price isn't for the actual fight itself. It's a bill for the entertainment leading up to the fight. Any entertainment received during the fight itself is a bonus.
Check out my occasionally updated travel thread - The Wroclaw Gambit II: Dzięki Bogu - as I prepare to emigrate to Poland.
I just wish the little girl wasn't up on stage with all this. It seems very fucked up.
I remember reading the article below a few years back about Floyd's spending habits. What stuck out to me was him showing the reporter that he had $123 million in one bank account. What an idiotic thing for Floyd to do having all of that money in one account presumably earning no/minimal Interest.
His spending habits are outrageous. Sure he makes $100-200 million per fight but he probably spends half of that in one year as well. Assuming this is his last fight, I could easily see him going down the Tyson route of being broke in a few years. Tyson and him are cut from the same cloth, and while both seem like smart guys, they have poor spending habits. It's hard to go from being broke in the projects to all of a sudden making $100 million dollars in one year.
Marshawn Lynch isn't the brightest athlete in the world but from all accounts is extremely frugal, saved all of his NFL money, and lived off his endorsements. Athletes could learn a thing or two from him.

Is she Mayweather's daughter? I'm sure she knows it's all play acting to sell the fight. She's probably heard worse.
I'm sure. But still.
I can only feel revulsion when a little kid has to sit on a stage in front of thousands of people and hear an actor call her dad illiterate and say fuck her family. It's super weird that Floyd brought her up there in the first place.
And it wrecks my enjoyment of all the trash talking.
I don't understand all the hate, this is hilarious and super entertaining. So what if it's like a WWE hype event, this is savage trolling ("he can't even read").
Mayweather is going to win very easily, likely by decision. Connor's only shot is some sort of illegal elbow or headbutt that will cut Mayweather. Sure, he'll get a few points knocked off, but then Mayweather will be cut. Hard to do that on the best defensive boxer of all time.
You don't even have to pay for this, just watch it at some bar. Mayweather odds keep getting more attractive as Connor hypes up the event; I may put some on him if it continues to decline. This is almost a sure thing.

I heard it somewhere on Twitter.

Game is the difference between a broke average looking dude in a 2nd tier city turning bad bitch feminists into maids and fucktoys and a well to do lawyer with 50x the dough taking 3 dates to bang broads in philly.
People keep saying that McGregor may get a lucky knockout in, as if Mayweather has not faced a bazillion of world champions and knockout specialists who tried to do just that to him and failed badly.

I am glad McGregor got his big pay day. Maybe now he will be able to afford some clothes that fit instead of having to wear his stuff from 6th grade.
They shared a private jet on the trip to UK promo stop. What a joke, yea they 'hate' eachother.

Floyd's mic skills are pretty shitty compared to Conor's. UK fans appeared way more lively than Canadian or US fans.
Conor McGregor responds to explosive Floyd Mayweather racism accusations
Quote:Quote:
Conor McGregor has dismissed Floyd Mayweather’s accusations of racism as a ‘dirty’ move from his opponent.
The race row has been growing since the first live event in Los Angeles when McGregor told Mayweather to ‘dance for me boy’.
‘Boy’ has racist connotations in America and McGregor’s use of the word was not appreciated by many observers.
McGregor addressed the complaints directly during the New York press conference and insisted he was not a racist while Mayweather has continued to press the point his language was offensive.
‘I don’t understand it,’ said McGregor in the press conference after the live event at Wembley.
Quote:[url=https://twitter.com/Coral__Barry/status/885962702602080256][/url]
‘I tried (to address it in New York), but it didn’t really hit right.
‘I’m just going to leave it where it is.
‘I know who I am as a person, I think most realistic person can look at me and know that themselves.
‘He’s trying to sway. Trying to talk about disrespecting women and all.
‘I didn’t even talk about his past and I don’t have to.
‘I thought if anything it was a dirty play on his part.
‘He tried to say something when we were face to face and I said if you play that, it’s bitch move and you know that.’
Mayweather answered questions about McGregor’s comments before the live event in London and reiterated his opponent crossed a line.
‘He called black people monkeys,’ said Mayweather.
‘He direspected my family. I don’t go below the belt. I respect people. There are certain lines you don’t cross.
Calling somebody "boy" isn't considered racist in Ireland.

I have to agree, I don't even care about the fight, of course Mayweather is going to win, and even though I don't really like trash talking, McGregor is actually making this whole thing quite entertaining.
Hmmm..this is from 2010
Floyd Mayweather: 'I'll cook that chump'
Floyd Mayweather: 'I'll cook that chump'
Quote:Quote:
Floyd Mayweather Jr., who has steadfastly refused to answer questions about the most recent round of failed negotiations for a fight with Manny Pacquiao, has unleashed a profanity-filled racist and homophobic Internet rant against the Filipino star.
In an approximately 10-minute Ustream video, apparently made Thursday and also posted on YouTube, Mayweather repeated his assertion that Pacquiao uses performance-enhancing drugs, an accusation that resulted in a defamation lawsuit from Pacquiao earlier this year.
Mayweather, apparently in his home with a handful of members of his entourage in the background, ripped into Pacquiao repeatedly during the video.
"I'm on vacation for about a year, about a year," Mayweather said. "As soon as we come off vacation, we're going to cook that little yellow chump. We ain't worried about that. So they ain't gotta worry about me fighting the midget. Once I kick the midget ass, I don't want you all to jump on my d---. So you all better get on the bandwagon now. ... Once I stomp the midget, I'll make that mother f----- make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice."
Mayweather's publicist, in Mexico for another fighter's promotion, has seen the video but has been unable to reach Mayweather or adviser Leonard Ellerbe. Kelly Swanson said she would not comment further.
Attempts by ESPN.com to reach Ellerbe were also unsuccessful.
Pacquiao dismissed the video, choosing to instead focus on his upcoming fight with Antonio Margarito on Nov. 13 at Cowboys Stadium near Dallas.
"I just heard about that, but I didn't see the video," Pacquiao said Friday, at the final stop of a three-city tour to promote his fight. "But it's an uneducated message."
When asked about the possibility of a Mayweather bout Friday, Pacquiao responded: "I'm not looking for that fight. I'm satisfied with what I've done in boxing already."
In the video, Mayweather at times spoke directly to the camera and at other times kept the recording running while he made calls to fans who had posted messages to his UStream and Twitter pages.
The tirade came as Pacquiao promotes his fight against Margarito -- a bout taking place only because Mayweather refused to fight him.
But Mayweather sure made it sound as though a fight with Pacquiao, one many believe will shatter revenue records in boxing history, will eventually happen. They have already had two rounds of negotiations fail -- in January and again during the spring.
"At this particular time I don't know if I'm gonna fight again," Mayweather said. "As of right now, I truly believe I am gonna fight again, but as of right now I don't have the urge to get up. But when I do got the urge to get up, believe me my UStream and my Twitter fans will be the first to know, and when we do come back, we will kick 'Poochiao' ass. So I'll let the fans know. Don't worry, we'll kick 'Poochiao' ass. He's gonna take the urine and blood test."
All terms had been agreed to in January for Mayweather and Pacquiao to meet in March, except for the drug-testing protocol. Mayweather had demanded that he and Pacquiao submit to random blood and urine tests throughout the buildup to the fight. Pacquiao agreed to random urine tests, but they could not come to an agreement on the blood-testing protocol and the fight plans imploded.
Pacquiao went on to easily defeat Joshua Clottey on March 13. Mayweather went on to easily outpoint Shane Mosley on May 1.
Then a second round of negotiations failed and Pacquiao signed to fight Margarito.
During this week's media tour to promote the bout, Pacquiao said he gave in to Mayweather's testing demands during the second round of negotiations.
"We agree with, you know, his demands," Pacquiao said. "I wanted to know if that's his real reason [for not signing to fight]."
Mayweather's camp has denied the second round of negotiations ever took place, even though Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum, insisted that they did, with HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg serving as the intermediary. Arum's version was backed up by Greenburg, despite the Mayweather camp's denials.
During the video, Mayweather also went on a rant about Pacquiao's record, even though Pacquiao has not lost a fight since 2005, and made incorrect comments about the money each had received for recent fights and endorsements.
" 'Poochiao' got three losses and two draws and been knocked out twice," Mayweather said. "So, like I said before, once I beat him it's going to be a cakewalk and it's on to the next. ... We know Pacquiao made $6 million in his last fight and Floyd Mayweather made $65 million in his last fight. Three losses, two draws. Ohhh, hell no, this is America baby. We built on winning. Step your game up, f----t. ... That mother f----- Pacquiao, he can't speak no English. He never seen a contract he didn't like. Mother f----- signed with two companies [Top Rank and Golden Boy]. Look it up. And then this mother f------ with Nike only got 70 Gs. How stupid can a mother f----- be? Reebok gave me a million dollars for three weeks. I wore Reebok s--- for a week for a million dollars. ... This mother f------'s name is Emmanuel. He got a fake name, taking power pellets."
Mayweather also broke out into a bizarre song in which he called Pacquiao a "whore" and added: "When we do come back, we'll kick 'Poochiao's' ass. I'm gonna fight the Pacman when he gets off the power pellets."
