EZ Money

 

[kikiribu]

Where's the guy who bet 10K on Conor?

 

[Northernlights]

That stoppage was a joke, what the hell.

Dude, Connor wasnt even defending or attacking. What did you want him to do? He was a walking punching bag

 

[Ninja Scooter]

So boxing is no longer a thing.

Sad to see.

Next months Canelo fight will outdraw any UFC PPV this year.

 

[DJKhaled]

Just now checking this thread.

I see it's over?

Blows my mind the people spend money on these money grabs. Slightly more believable than WWE matches.

Getting that money though.

It's $10 for a WWE ppv. There's a pretty big difference.

 

[studyguy]

Fuck it that was a fun fight.

Next months Canelo fight will outdraw any UFC PPV this year.

Finally

 

[Syder]

People saying Conor looked good? Looked like Mayweather carried him just like I predicted. If "good" is not getting KTFO then yeah I guess he did "good."

What a joke.

People not realising Mayweather was doing everything within his power for Conor not to get docked points or DQ'd. This was never a competitive fight.

 

[Megatron]

Conor seriously. F... You.


What a joke.

Couldn't even box without being a clown.

This is the best UFC has to offer? Joke.

I think you have that backwards. Boxing is the one with nothing. The best draw by far they could dig up was an mma guy.

 

[N7.Angel]

I do wish the referee let him beat him up some more, but he wasn't even defending himself.

Yeah for the spectacle but it's too dangerous, it's better this way, it's just a sport.

 

[DopeyFish]

That stoppage was a joke, what the hell.

conor was so fucked tho

he could not react to anything he was gone

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Dude was gassed in the third round

 

[FeenixRising]

I put $10K on McGregor. I'm honestly shaking because if I loose i just screwed up my life

 

[Wadiwasi]

What Conor did was brave, stupid, but brave. May weather killed him with textbook boxing.

What Conor did was make

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.00

 

[TAJ]

Best case scenario for everybody tbh
Conor didn't embarrass himself, made shitloads of money
Floyd got 50-0, made shitloads of money

Didn't embarrass himself? The only reason he wasn't DQ'd was because the refs were afraid.
He looked like a fool, got played like a fool and got rocked like a fool.

 

[Nekketsu Kõha]

Floyd just played with the guy. He had zero respect for his ability or power from the jump. This was like if Tim Tebow faced Clayton kershaw, and kKershaw, knowing he has no chance, decided to fuck around and throw knuckleballs and people are like "wow Tim did so well!" when he pops up instead of striking out.

Conors punches were terrible. Even if he would be connecting they wouldn't do anything.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Masterful from Mayweather.

It will be aesthetically pleasing to re-retire at 50-0, but if they can wring another nine-figure purse out of this match-up...then it will absolutely happen.

A reverse fight under MMA rules would be pointless and dangerous for a 40 year old making a debut anyway.

 

[Ithil]

Frankly it was one of the the better fights Floyd's had in the last number of years. Good fun to watch.

 

[ponpo]

No one bet $10k on this, they're just fishing for neogaf quotes.

 

[Officerrob]

Mayweather gave Connor several rounds but whatever

A lot of money was bet on Conor winning a single round

 

[Mammoth Jones]

Connor was about 4 punches away from getting slept.

McGregor fans should be grateful they didn't have to see their folk hero laid out on the ring floor.

LMAO. Yup. I was waiting like a kid that just got up on Christmas morning....

 

[styl3s]

MMA fans crying right now.

Why? Conor held his own for multiple rounds. It was a good fight and he did great.

You think Mayweather could last a single round in UFC? He would get tapped immediatly.

 

[Qvoth]

Guys. I decided to say fuck it and put $100k on Conor.

How fucked am I?

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA
YOU BETTER RUN NOW, THE LOANSHARKS ARE COMING

 

[kingocfs]

Floyd looked like he pulled back on that last punch before they called it. Could have killed the man

 

[Radec]

I put $10K on McGregor. I'm honestly shaking because if I loose i just screwed up my life

why the fuck would you do that for just for a chance to make easy $$$?

I never understand gamblers.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Seriously how was that stoppage bullshit

McGregor was doing nothing, Mayweather was assaulting him

Casual boxing fans

 

[Speely]

Puncher's chance tho

 

[FZZ]

LMAO at people saying good job to a 29 year old who got toyed with by a 40 year old and tired out and then demolished in the last round

This wasn't close at all

 

[Bladelaw]

For folks complaining about spending $100 on this what would have made this worth it?

10 round main event with a fair amount of action is better than most boxing PPV's I've seen.

Undercard was ass (especially the fight before the main) but the main event was fine IMO.

Floyd's played the game, baited Conor to gas him out and finished him late. he's been doing this for 20 years. Conor's not too sad, dude's set for life after this fight.

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

Next time don't say racist stuff, McGregor.

 

[mortal]

Good effort and holy shit McGreggor is gonna be rich as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck after this.

Also, RIP to that gaffer who bet $10k on McGreggor last minute lol

You lying looooooool

 

[sora87]

So funny that. Love to see mcgregor beat floyd's boring ass properly.

 

[erlim]

Conor McGregor was not ready for a 12 round fight.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

after this and cm punk i hope we can put away the "guy who is famous participating in a sport that he's never done just because he's famous" thing for awhile

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Upwards of $200+

• $100 on fight
• $30 - 40 to get in a restaurant maybe
• $100 for food over the course of the night
• $25 for parking

yeahhhh

You don't pay for the fight if you go to a restaurant to watch.

 

[TheLegendary]

As someone that doesnt know anything about boxing it was clear after round three that McGregor was out of his element but that main announcer continued to prop up anything positive McGregor did. It's like the we're all judging on a Trump scale now.

 

[Westbahnhof]

MMA BTFO
40 YEARS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Don't be a like that.
Like a boxer would fare better under MMA rules.

 

[bonchooski]

people giving props to Mac for making 10 rounds need to realize that Mayweather let him go 10 rounds.

 

[Shadow Broker]

Nowise10 are you okay? Post if you are okay.

Yeah, I hope that guy was just bullshiting.

 

[2blackcats]

Was a much better performance from McGregor than I expected, but the result was still the same.

If he practiced on women too, he might have done better.

 

[RecRoulette]

Was the fight worth the price tag?

I mean, I got what I expected out of it.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

He toys with people because he knows he can outlast them. Happened with Pac, happened with Conor

Let the man stay retired this time. Yall don't want another fav you Will see him do this to

 

[Tekniqs]

I believe Floyd's going to start walking down Conor in the middle rounds and fight in the pocket/phone booth. He ain't gonna be trading punches tho cuz Conor's not gonna be hitting him much.

welp!

 

[NYR]

Seriously how was that stoppage bullshit

McGregor was doing nothing, Mayweather was assaulting him

Ignore the posters who don't understand KOs in boxing, they have no idea how done Conor was, no punches thrown in eh last minute of the fight.

people giving props to Mac for making 10 rounds need to realize that Mayweather let him go 10 rounds.

Yep.

 

[King_Moc]

I'm impressed that Conor did that well tbh. Good on him.

I actually kinda question that stoppage because Conor was dodging a bunch of those punches

He hit him clean in the head 7 times in about 20 seconds. It wasn't good.

 

[Neith]

It saved him a bit of brain damage I guess since he was done anyways.

Brain damage? From people rubbing your head? This is not the heavyweight division.

 

[jabuseika]

People saying Conor looked good? Looked like Mayweather carried him just like I predicted. If "good" is not getting KTFO then yeah I guess he did "good."

What a joke.

40 year old guy, took his time, and finished the fight how he wanted.

Just like everyone expected.

 

[abuC]

That stoppage was a joke, what the hell.

Boxers die, there's a hundred + years of evidence that you don't let a gassed fighter take additional shots .

 

[Alpha Centauri]

Easy money.

Props to Mcgregor, but Floyd felt him out early. Took Conor's best shot, gauged his speed, and turned it on from the 4th round on. Literally never any doubt. Floyd could have done that sooner, but that would have been way more risky.

I will say this though. This proves that Paulie got his ass beat by Conor lmao.


edit: And boxing fights have to end like that in those situations. These are head-shots, not body + grappling. Do ya'll want Mcgregor to die?

 

[jrush64]

Thought it was pretty entertaining. Only ended up paying $25 dollars thanks to VPN and Sky Box Office.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

He's just good that's it, he's not fast or powerful, he just played me.
