No I don't not at all. I give it a 95% chance Floyd wins.

I 100% WANT Conor to win though

Yep pretty much. I have a feeling this will be like 2 hours of fluff and in actuality a 15 second fight of Floyd winning.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

You couldn't be more wrong. This is the peak and has been for the last decade. The techniques and athleticism is greater than anything in the past and his achievements greater than those of any boxer who lives or has ever fought.

Good one.

1:23am and we still have hours to go.....

Think its time to open the bottle of Kraken

Good one.

Truth doesn't have to be popular.

Anyone watching this through Sky Box Office on iOS? Can't get logged in at all with my account. Don't really fancy watching it downstairs on the TV that early in the morning.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

You guys have to remember, this kind of thing is not unprecedented in sports.

In 2016, fighting game legend Daigo Umehara was challenged by hip hop legend and visionary artist Lupe Fiasco to a match of Street Fighter 5.

People called it a freakshow, people called it a circus. No one gave Lupe a shot. They said, "how can someone whos never played a fighting game competitively beat one of the best of all time?"

And against all odds, with everyone against him, Lupe used his unorthodoxy and unpredictability to lay a black eye upon the fighting game community. Daigo didn't know what hit him.

Lupe changed the game, then he retired.

Goes to show that anything is possible in the world of sports. If Lupe could, why cant Conor?

This post. 10/10 👏

Heading to a friend's house to watch the fights. Still so early though fam!

assuming speaking of watching this through "means" is frowned upon?

 

[PR_rambo]

The masses don't know shit about boxing. I'm sure most of you would say Mayweather was boring against Canelo, when he actually put on a masterclass exhibition of boxing skill.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

deep down inside you think conor is gonna win too.

Dempsey rolllll

Inoki vs Ali 2: Electric Boogaloo

Naw, that was a real clown show that went back and forth several times from being a rigged pro wrestling match to a real mixed rules fight, only to gave Ali's camp at the last minute say Inoki couldn't grapple Ali, couldn't take him down and could only punch if he wore gloves. Which us what led to Inoki crab walking and kicking Ali's shins.

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Belker]

Bought the fight, then realised there's no Sky box office app on my 55" 4K tv, the tv's browser won't play it and neither will my Xbox or PS4, nor is there an app on my Roku.

So now I've got a laptop hooked up to a 42" 1080 and am having to use Bluetooth earbuds for decent audio - and the stream is only 720p.

I'm certain sharing methods or encouraging it is frowned upon.
I'm just glad German, Japan and my beloved Austria get to watch it for "free".

[Chie Satonaka]

Still trying to decide if I want to watch this stupid bullshit or not.

Why can't you hook the laptop up to the 55" 4k TV?

thinking about going to a bar... but would rather lay in bed I went out last night.

Well is it any surprise? When people think "boxing match" they think of the rocky movies 😆

 

[Hickbilly Deluxe]

I hope the fight ends up being bullshit, and everyone regrets watching it. This fight ruined almost all my plans for this evening, and I'm pissed.

 

[Bad_Boy]

AFN for the win

I believe.

I'm just hoping for a good fight and bookie chaos.

 

[PureYeti]

Is there a reliable website that shows the boxing fightcard? I have it easier to look ufc if I want to see the lineup and results. Boxing matches are rough for me on google searches

And it was boring as shit.

One of the biggest fights in history, fam. Even if it is a circus.

Yep, I am airplaying to my Apple TV, no issues here. Had money refunded in the past due to the shitty stream but it's fine today. Maybe Sky got their shit together.

 

[JettDash]

I wanna watch the fight because I have money on it. But I don't want to go to a bar (too many people plus having to drive home). Also don't want to pay $100 to order the PPV. Fuck.

All the cables are tucked around the back and hard to get to. I do appreciate you asking though, since one can overlook obvious solutions sometimes - especially at 0135am

I take it you just used your normal Sky login? Tried on a few devices and its the same thing. just says unable to verify user.

 

[clemenx]

My enjoyment from the fight is going to come from reading all the tears in social media after Floyd wins by decision lolol

Of course! Thank you

I have no idea if your TV has this but my LG TV has a screen share mode where you can connect the laptop to the TV wirelessly.

 

[LiQuid!]

This is where I'm at. I don't buy the hype. I didn't care about any of the build up. I don't think McGregor has a snowball's chance in hell. But I'm still watching because having 2 fighters of this caliber being alive and in their prime at the same moment in time is a rare occurrence and like it or not this is going to be a dumb, pop culture moment, regardless of the outcome.

 

[onken]

Can anyone recommend a good live blog for no streaming available peasants?

This entire reason I'm going to a bar, it'll be even better seeing it in person haha.

It's not my Sky login, it's what you used on https://skyboxoffice.neulion.com/. They are different, at least mine is.

Good man. I have 9 types of spiced rum here and Kraken is always a good shout.

T-minus however many hours before


GRRRRRRRRRR BOXING IS DEAD
IT DIDN'T DIE LAST TIME I SAID THIS BUT THIS TIME IT IS!!!

Bet 3.5k on Floyd to win 930 on Bodog

Dont know anything about boxing or MMA but all my friends are coming over so it should be fun

Was going to bet last night when it was -450, and this morning it went to -375, good enough for me

 

[CrocoDuck]

Man, I ain't paying a hundred bucks for this, so I might head to a bar right now. Anyone know a decent bar in Brooklyn that's not in a gentrified area? (Mainly southern Brooklyn)

 

[Einchy]

This is going to be simultaneously the worst and best fight ever.

[Feep]

What is the estimated exact time the fight will actually start?

 

[Mik317]

either way there is going to be lots of butthurt afterwards.

so many people are super confident right now....anything can happen.
