Oh I got an email from my beloved Armstrong cable company, for the PPV on this fight:

$99.95 (HD)

$89.95 (SD) - save 10% off if you don't want the close up of the blood and sweat flying on you like being in the front row of the expensive seats.

Just put on ESPN, I guess Mayweather won.

.......and now they can get their shovels out to start dividing up the piles of money.

McGregor is an idiot in front of a microphone.

mjp28

Had it been a street fight McGregor probably would have won....but it was big money ballet advantage Mayweather.

All in all a joke to get Mayweather to 50-0 past Marciano. A true title defence vs a ranked opponent? No.

Nobody truly knows whether Floyd Mayweather's boxing match with Conor McGregor will turn out to be a unique spectacle or an overhyped debacle.

http://www.vegasinsider.com/boxing/story.cfm/story/1863459

The only certainty is that the next 2+ months of hype will be a masterpiece of fight promotion from two of the best ever to play that game.

Mayweather and McGregor revealed their plan Wednesday to fight Aug. 26 in Las Vegas . In an appropriate move for a fight that grew into reality after two years of verbal jousting and several months of social-media skewering, the two titans of their respective sports confirmed the news on their Instagram accounts.

And in another preview of what everyone should expect during their summer of promotion, McGregor's post included his photo opposite Floyd Mayweather Sr., the boxer's 64-year-old father, with a straight-faced caption: ''THE FIGHT IS ON.''

Few athletes in recent sports history have sold their sports better than the imperious Mayweather and the loquacious McGregor.

Both fighters have spent years crafting outlandish public personae characterized by a few common themes: cartoonish arrogance, a fetishistic obsession with money and an eagerness to make reckless pronouncements about their opponents, their opponents' fans - and, increasingly, each other..........CONTINUED IN LINK. ........

Didn't think it was interesting and it didn't end any differently than most people would have guessed even though the odds were attracting the Bettors. Maybe a rematch under MMA rules?

Never happen. Mayweather would never agree to getting his face and body pummeled at his age with 50 fights already in.....unless he gets $1/2 billion this time.

Oh I don't think it would never happen either. I'd like to see it though. But this bout was about as evenly matched as having Mark Spitz line up as a wide receiver.
