These ring girl robots are getting more advanced.

 

[JABEE]

What are they going to do to kill all this time?

 

[StoOgE]

and all those places are probably packed. I seriously doubt there's a single bar that is not charging a cover for a $100 PPV fight

Half empty. But they precharged for Tix so they can't have people demanding refunds who already paid. Weather in Texas fucked them tonight.

I know that most bars are 4k to 10k to super the fight. I normally can find a drink only cover bc Austin isn't a big fight town.

 

[Ashodin]

Finally, we're almost there

 

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

Bars near me wanted 40 a head to walk in... Even with a tropical storm hitting. Couldn't find anywhere with a drink only cover and not spending money to watch this.

Bars can't just order the PPV for 100$ they have to pay a site fee up to 5000$ to show it. Even hooters was 20$.

 

[TimeEffect]

I dont understand boxing

If someone cheats or does an illegal move, why does he still win?

 

[Raitosaito]

The way Fonseca went down in fetal position is the way guys go down from body shots, not hits to the head. He was going down regardless now he's trying to milk the head shot.

Spot on assessment

 

[dickroach]

No need to charge cover when they make it all back and more on drinks

no need. but people are going to pay.
bars charge for PPV fights.

 

[Farsi]

We're getting close. I'm fucking lit rn. lets have a good time gAf

 

[RecRoulette]

Statement from Showtime

Statement from Showtime on PPV delay: Due to high demand, we have reports of scattered outages from various cable and satellite provides and the online offering. We will delay the start of the main event slightly to allow for systems to get on track. We do not expect a lengthy delay.

I guess we'll find out how they define "lengthy delay" soon enough.

 

[nampad]

Finally, I am already dead tired, it is close to 6 AM here in Germany
Sucks that I have to leave for a business trip tmr.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Will Conor choose cross counter or corkscrew blow as his opener...

 

[racketpunch]

and all those places are probably packed. I seriously doubt there's a single bar that is not charging a cover for a $100 PPV fight

Bars pay more than a $100 to show a PPV fight

 

[Diprosalic]

The Corona girls are going to be an SNL skit lol.

 

[Syder]

Damn, what a shitty card from top to bottom. It turned out even worse than expected.

 

[Pastry]

So did the reboot fix the problems? lol

 

[NinjaTehFish]

 

[nOoblet16]

Imagine if Bruce Buffer announces McGregor and Michael Buffer announces for Mayweather !

That'd be hype as fuck !

 

[FiveSix4Three]

I heard restaurants were offering 50 a head. 50 a fucking head dude. What the fuck

The cheapest I've heard of around here was $20. 35-40 seemed to be the norm.

Bet the $20 joint was packed early af.

 

[jabuseika]

What are they going to do to kill all this time?

Dana in a wrestling match.

Illegal moves don't DQ, they detract from points tho

 

[adamsapple]

That's very creepy lol

 

[abstract alien]

That'd be hype as fuck !

Bruh, that would have been brilliant

 

[Ether_Snake]

I know each one of you commenting on the ring girls never watch boxing. It's always been like that, always is.

 

[Fitts]

Bars around here are charging $25.

Not bad. But there will be way too many people.

They usually do. Just find a place that's also offering a buffet or whatever with the cover. Place around here does that. (all you can eat/drink but just charge for alcohol)

 

[NYR]

How long is the main event delayed for?

 

[Gragen]

Ring girls in 2017 is so weird

Corona banking on big bucks plastering their logo on boobs.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Alright I'm awaek. Lets fucking go.

 

[Kusagari]

The cheapest place to see it from what I saw was to just go to a strip club.

Bars and restaurants wanted ridiculous covers.

 

[Yousefb]

Its almost 7 am here. Lets fucking go -_-

 

[SDBurton]

Bars around here are charging $25.

Not bad. But there will be way too many people.

At a coworkers place under the impression it would be a small get together.

Place is packed.

The one I'm in isn't ✊🏼

its only illegal if the ref sees it.

 

[vocab]

I dont understand boxing

If someone cheats or does an illegal move, why does he still win?

Because he couldn't get up. Boxing is a seriously flawed and outdated sport.

 

[Stuggernaut]

My god these robot girls just moving to be standing in front of the camera and constantly staring at it are weirding me out.

So glad someone else noticed that lol

The Stepford Ring Card Girls

 

[JABEE]

Someone is yelling, “Get your tits and the logo in the shot!”

 

[Alucard]

I'm sure the goal of this PPV was to increase interest in boxing, but sounds like it's pissing people off more than anything.

 

[C4Lukins]

OK... whatever you say.

Just watching someone completely give up on an argument is victory enough for me. I am fucking flailing around in your anger and tears. Your forfeit made my day. Thank you.

 

[Skatterd]

The cheapest I've heard of around here was $20. 35-40 seemed to be the norm.

Bet the $20 joint was packed early af.

If you have a Moviepass, you could pay nothing for it at some theaters.
*whistles*

 

[hamchan]

Haha damn they're creepy.

 

[TAJ]

Drink-only cover for a big fight night? You think this is the '70s?

 

[ViciousDS]

Corona banking on big bucks plastering their logo on boobs.

It's too bad corona is a garbage beer

 

[nOoblet16]

Bruh, that would have been brilliant

I know right ? But it's not happening obviously.

 

[Einchy]

Ring girls in 2017 is so weird

Reminds me of boothbabes from E3.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Someone is yelling, “Get your tits and the logo in the shot!”

😂😂

 

[FTF]

Let's do this Mayweather.

 

[Farsi]

the goal of this PPV is to make money. Nothing more

LOL Ok, that was funny... You made my day now.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I dont understand boxing

If someone cheats or does an illegal move, why does he still win?

Because the refs have discretion on those sorts of things. That blow to the back of the head was likely not intentional, and on top of that completely irrelevant. Fonseca was knocked out with body shots. The ref's actions were spot on. Davis seems like a dickbag, but that was a legitimate win.
