Is this smark wearing Zubaz? Help.

"I'm a money fighter"

Says a 16 year old looking kid who's never probably thrown a punch in his life. I'm actually cringing.

That said wtf was old as Senior doing picking fights with random kids lol, people should be probably looking out for him

 

[Alpha Centauri]

Damn, I'm in Houston and catching all this residual rain from Harvey. Was throwing a fight party but of course that's cancelled. I'm just going to go to the belly of the beast and hit this Irish pub...Luckys. Seems the only place around me showing the fight that's open. Can't wait to talk shit.

Sounds like 'Suicide by Irish' to me. Stay safe dude

 

[21st century cowboy]

Can anyone clarify what time roughly in the UK is the main even due to start. Trying to decide whether to stay up or wake up early. Away in Glasgow for a few days which is making things awkward for watching this.

"Element of surprise" you don't know!

Yeah I wouldn't want to be talking shit to a bunch of drunk Irish regardless of what happens tonight. Sounds like an easy way to get jumped

All he needs to do to be safe, is feign to commiserate.

 

[DeadOnions]

Screw it I've given in to the hype. Staying up till 5 won't be easy but don't want to miss it now.

 

[Haribi]

When will the actual fight start? I've read 3am, 5am and 6am CET. Need to set my alarm correctly.

 

[Tekniqs]

I think I've seen Floyd vs Hatton 20 times by now but going to watch it again. My all time fave build for a fight

that's my favorite Floyd fight. photobooth fight. People always complain that Cortez didn't let Hatton fight his fight but he only broke them early in the first 2 rds and most of the 3rd rd. At the end of the 3rd, he let them fight their fights. Floyd beat Hatton in Hatton's own style.

Then...


...(Broken glass)...

IIIIIIFFFFFF YOU SMEEEEELLLLLLL

Between 6 and a half and maybe 8 hours from now depending on how the undercard goes.

It wouldn't be the first time he fought some dopy young kid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0xkyhbs85E

 

[Thewonandonly]

Just had a conversation with a co worker of mine who's like 17, so I wasn't going to argue back and stuff.

But basically I asked him who he is rooting for. He says Mcgregor rooting for the underdog I understand that but I still ask why?

He says and I will repeat "I feel like mayweather is all bark" I just reply back huh allright then he walks away. Like whaaaat haha

 

[gamz]

I don't have cable. Can I get this on Roku or SlingTV?

I really want to see this tonight!

 

[funkystudent]

I really hope Connor doesn't permanently damage himself

That is all

All bark?! 49-0! This is why mayweather is getting the odds he is.

Floyd is a big Trump supporter but Trump voters want McGregor to win cause he's white

who the hell do I root for

If you care about Trump stuff Conor has talked mad shit about him

 

[Discotheque]

What time do people reckon this fight actually starts? 8 est?

 

[Milennia]

What time do people reckon this fight actually starts? 8 est?

9 EST is when the show starts and the card is 4 fights, probably like 11-12 EST

 

[FTF]

What time do people reckon this fight actually starts? 8 est?

They won't fight till close to midnight. Maybe 11:30.

Hope that Floyd embarrasses Conor with a first round KO, Mcgregor regains his composure only for him to become enraged and flying knee Floyd in the head seconds before the ring collapses and the TV cameras go offline.

Whoever wins we all lose.

 

[Gothos]

So what are the rules? Is this a boxing match, MMA, mix of both or what?

 

[Cels]

mcgregor has a wide stance, too wide for boxing

Spoiler

cue larry craig jokes

 

[Obliterator]

Pure boxing, Queensberry Rules

 

[feel]

Sorry if this has already been clarified, but is this the countdown to the actual fight or to the beginning of the tv transmission with the actual fight starting an hour or two later?


edit- IGNORE THIS, answered in this same page

 

[Euphor!a]

Sorry if this has already been clarified, but is this the countdown to the actual fight or to the beginning of the tv transmission with the actual fight starting an hour or two later?

The actual fight will be in around 6 hours and 15 minutes depending on how the other fights go.

 

[Valhelm]

Conor is kind of racist though

 

[Kurt Angle]

Hopefully we see these scenes again

 

[Euphor!a]

Conor is kind of racist though

Well Mayweather is far from kinda racist.

 

[TraBuch]

Mayweather's gonna win and all, but let's say hypothetically McGregor pulled it off, is there anyone out there that wouldn't think it was fixed?

 

[Obliterator]

Conor is kind of racist though

I don't think so. He's gotten pretty on the edge with selling fights, but I don't get the vibe he's actually racist at all.

Still shitty but its always seemed like a promotional tool more than anything. And if we are gonna bring up "who to root for in terms of how bad they are" Floyd has been openly racist, sexist, homophobic, and beaten women in front of their children. It's literally no contest there on who is the more shitty person.

 

[JettDash]

Mayweather's gonna win and all, but let's say hypothetically McGregor pulled it off, is there anyone out there that wouldn't think it was fixed?

I think the fight being fixed is more likely than McGregor legitimately winning.

Still very small chance though.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

More than any other fight unfortunately, Floyd is going to get his due about being as good as he is because he's going to have a lot of people who have shit talked him, but actually never watched him fight, leave stunned by how good he is.

 

[Speely]

I would assume a fix for sure.

Thank you very much

Naw, those people will complain about how boring he is.

 

[Obliterator]

I wouldn't at all. I think there is a (very slim) chance Conor could legit beat him.

 

[Harken Raiser]

So what are the rules? Is this a boxing match, MMA, mix of both or what?

They should alternate between boxing and MMA each round.

 

[jm89]

Mayweather's gonna win and all, but let's say hypothetically McGregor pulled it off, is there anyone out there that wouldn't think it was fixed?

I wouldn't. I don't see Mayweather ever agreeing to a fixed match(specially one that he loses) so not really an excuse if he lost.

 

[Obliterator]

They should alternate between boxing and MMA each round.

Floyd would never agree to even that, because 1 MMA round is quite literally all Conor would need to win.

Floyd has never defended a takedown in his life or grappled a day in his life in BJJ. Those aren't even Conor's strengths but he would run through him in minutes on the floor

 

[Zuk]

Is it against the rules for Conner to feign a knee, kick, or elbow to try and scare Floyd or throw him off?

 

[JettDash]

They should alternate between boxing and MMA each round.

Why would Floyd agree to that.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Is it against the rules for Conner to feign a knee, kick, or elbow to try and scare Floyd or throw him off?

Way to give away Conor's winning strategy

 

[Stuggernaut]

Oh man, no people are gonna start saying fix if McGregor wins? This is gonna be one entertaining day no matter what happens.

 

[cordy]

Hopefully we see these scenes again

Money had lead heels backing him up too. McGregor's gotta compete.
