I'm sure the goal of this PPV was to increase interest in boxing

That's your first mistake. This was purely a cash grab.

 

[ash321]

So 6 rounds ?

 

[Nekketsu Kõha]

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 Boxing is a seriously flawed and outdated sport.

Then why be here? Lol

 

[HiiiLife]

LETS GO

 

[Shin K Dash]

well this will be used for a while...

 

[Alucard]

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

Resounding success in that regard I guess.

 

[operon]

I'm nervous

 

[JettDash]

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.

The goal of this PPV was to make Floyd, Conor, and Showtime hundreds of millions of dollars.

 

[brochiller]

So how long until Mayweather?

 

[TaterTots]

How much is it where you live?

$100 USD.

 

[Sunster]

why are they mad at him?

 

[Jarrod38]

Keep smiling and don't blink.

 

[StoOgE]

I'm nervous

If Mayweather loses it's bc he threw the fight for two more paydays.

 

[Smellycat]

I don't get it

Is it the girl in the back? How she just keeps looking at the camera?

 

[K.Jack]

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$.

Yep. The more seats, the more they have to pay.

Even shit like NFL Sunday Ticket gets crazy expensive if you have a lot of seats.

 

[JABEE]

Dude has his name tattooed on his belly.

 

[Macattk15]

Oh my goddddddddd what are they showing to fill time ..... jesus.

 

[Obliterator]

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.

I can't see the tons of MMA fans watching this coming away with a very positive impression at all

 

[Ghostshark]

Bars in my area have to pay a substantial amount for maximum capacity to play the fight, no matter how many are attending. The cover charges are understandable.

People have short memories. They will be pissed tonight, then in 1/3/6/12 months when the next big match happens they'll be right there. In the same way people are pissed about SNES Classic preorders but will be F5'ing their asses off a year from now trying to get an N64 Classic.

 

[Forward]

I blame this fight for my spotty cable this evening. Get your shit together, Cox. You're getting rocked harder than Conor is going to be.

 

[Kusagari]

Mauro!

We full carny now.

 

[iShouldGoPro]

So how long until Mayweather?

its happening in the next 10

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

wtf is this?

Russel Wilson looks like he just walked off the set of a 2004 G-Unit video.

 

[caffeware]

$5 where I live lol

 

[Fitts]

Haha losing it at this DJ.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

I just want to see the speed difference, once I see that, my level of comfort will be set tonight.

 

[The JT]

Fucking finally. Can't wait til McGregor get knockout

 

[Violence Jack]

This ring girl stuff is seriously creepy. I wonder if it gets phased out soon.

 

[Josh5890]

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

Wow. That even works for Fathom events?

 

[KissVibes]

I hope Las Vegas has enough of this available to Conor after he gets WASHED.

 

[JABEE]

Oh my goddddddddd what are they showing to fill time ..... jesus.

Brand name DJs

 

[vocab]

Then why be here? Lol

I can enjoy boxing and criticize it at the same time. Thanks. No sport is perfect.

 

[KingV]

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

$40 is a lot though. Luckily I found a place doing $20, which makes sense. But $40 is like... just get it at home.

Wait there is an N64 Classic?

 

[HiiiLife]

Ciara isn't there to tell him how to dress.

 

[Ashodin]

If Mayweather loses it's bc he threw the fight for two more paydays.

Rematch, he wins, then third fight to settle it all?

 

[cordy]

Man...

If Conor loses then it's as most said and the memes will be at full force.
If Floyd loses though? Fuck boxing fans will never live this down and the memes will be far worse.

Boxing fans are praying harder than ever right now. I don't think Floyd's losing though but the thought of him losing here is far worse than any other match he's ever had.

 

[K.Jack]

Lmao, come on Russ, stay in your lane man.

 

[GalacticToast]

[Podge293]

I don't even want McGregor to win but if he gets knocked out round 1 I'm gonna cry.

It's 5am godammit I wanna see something worth it

 

[StoOgE]

Bars in my area have to pay a substantial amount for maximum capacity to play the fight, no matter how many are attending. The cover charges are understandable.

They all do. I'm used to smaller bars going over capacity with drink minimums or charging a tenner at the door to make their cost back.

 

[Farsi]

lmao

 

[cpp_is_king]

Do you think they told Floyd to drag it out so they can make the fans feel they got their money's worth? Otherwise I think Floyd could finish him in the first 20 seconds of round 1.

 

[Bobo Dakes]

Has it seriously not started yet?

 

[Burt]

sweet mother of fuck

 

[cordy]

Same reason why people are pissed that Roman Reigns and Jinder Mahal are main eventing but they keep watching WWE.

 

[DMczaf]

lmfao

 

[DrFunk]

Lmaooo
