McGregor v Mayweather - 26th Aug 2017

I felt Mayweather edged the first, got annihilated in the second, and won this one easily.

That's coming from someone who was expecting him to be ripped to the point of tears though, so may be slightly biased

I like the fight he's reverted to type and isn't pretending to be the nice, humble guy anymore. He's better being an obnoxious * and getting in everyone's face.

 

Only thing that could of saved that farce was 2 of the back team got into a scrap.

 

I'd say Floyd, Conor and Floyd again tonight.

Conor tonight was just bad it was brutal. When his 50 cent line didn't work, he should've left the Jay Z and Biggie *. Floyd with the money making it rain was hilarious though

 

Dunno about edging the first think he was lucky Mcgregor has his mic turned off.

Was going to say Mayweather almost seems likeable when being interviewed when Mcgregor is not around and then you remember he is a woman beating scum bag.

 

The 'half black' joke was good, but the rapping at the start was head in hands *

He's was so off the pace tonight it was kinda weird, especially after he dismantled him yesterday. Mayweather just looked relaxed and like he was enjoying it.

 

Tbh I dont know how anyone gives the first one to Mayweather, he looked like a lost puppy.

I thought Mcgregor won that easily along with last night.

Tonight he was tragic though, going back to how he was when I would of actually liked to of seen him get knocked out.

 

You like Floyd in these pressers???

Mate I wanted to put my foot through the TV he's like a trolling wee kid. I can't imagine how difficult it would be for McGregor not to be wound up by that.....provided it's all real and we've not just watch them both play out a script.

 

Aye and White looked on edge as well. Something clearly wasn't right.

The rapping then the Jay Z album was brutal. It wasn't even that it got a bad reaction, it got no reaction.

Anyway better catch some sleep. Round 4 will hopefully deliver

 

Na I meant when he was being interviewed backstage by Brendan Shuab , Pauli Magianni and that other dude. He is a baffon in these pressers

 

No wonder those meatheads looked * off and the SBJ guys looked ready to go as well.

 

I remember Roach speaking really highly of him and he's known him for years. * knows though, there's the chill Floyd, the obnoxious Floyd, and the women beating Floyd.

I do think both McGregor and Mayweather are probably very different people in reality from the image they present on screen though.

 

My mate worked with McGregor for a media company, said he's absolutley nothing like his persona at all which is probably pretty obvious, cliche but he really is just a normal aul Dublin fella.

Said the immediate change when a camera is in the vicinity is mad to look at.

 

Yeah I've said that on here before and been assured I was completely wrong.

* no * can genuinely be like that, especially not an guy from a working class Dublin background.

Fair play to him though, he's used that personality and amazing talent to turn himself into a global icon in few short years. Absolutely amazing.

 

"You and your boyfriend", how old are you fs

I keep bringing neautrals and casual fans into it because they are the ones that the fight needs to be sold to and they are the ones that are tuning in for McGregor.

No, not everyone can knock everyone out with one punch. And yes you're right, we get it, the gloves make a difference... but what I said was they won't stop Mayweather getting knocked out and you need to understand that Mayweather isn't invincible.

He didn't get the sales because he wasn't in a more main stream sport. Fighting the biggest star of that sport. But Mayweather wouldn't get near the sales this is will get without McGregor. They need each other but McGregor is the bigger attraction in this fight.

 

Maybe if ISIS were doing a PPV beheading I would.

 

Honestly, last night was brutal in here. Constant having stuff taken out of context because a few people can't handle the truth.

 

In hindsight, does it really matter who wins the press conferences?
