Boxing Thread

Unbelievably it looks like the Mayweather v McGregor fight is going to happen.  McGregor announced today that he has signed all his necessary paperwork.

..with the UFC.

The UFC-McGregor and Mayweather camps have yet to engage in serious negotiations. That's where all the delays happen in boxing.

You'd hope at 40 Mayweather might see the sense in expediting this one.

Believe it when I see it. Even McGregor's social media promotions showing him boxing to "prepare" for PBF are embarrassing for any serious boxer.

Sham of an event that I will definitely watch.  But as I said before, PBF/MM has the odds stacked in his favour and it would only be fair if there was a fight under each discipline.

On another note, going to try IPTV for Brook Spence Jr fight, or might try it for the Davis Walsh fight this weekend.

Why do you think there's to be anything fair about it? This isn't about sport and finding out who the best is or anything. McGregor has called him out and says he wants to box him. Fine, if it happens, it happens. Floyd has never once come out and said that he could or should beat McGregor in an MMA fight. So frankly, you're talking out of your arse.

I knew a knob like you would bite. I didn't quote either fighter. I gave my opinion that it's unfair on McGregor, which it is.

Congratulations, you caught me hook, line and sinker with your subtle and witty bait.

What's unfair about it? If it ever happens, McGregor is the one who's asked for it and will get more than handsomely rewarded for it. Again, you appear to be under the delusion that this is a sporting contest where two athletes are meeting on a level playing field to determine who is better.

Andy Lee summed it up pretty well..."It's like asking a triathlete to swim against Michael Phelps"

I still don't think it will happen and if it does I will be surprised if McGregor will even land a clean blow the whole fight. Farce of a fight.

Slightly different - the triathlete is asking to race against Phelps.

Mayweather is looking for this fight as much as McGregor. 

[lurganblue]

We might all think it's a farce and a sham of a fight but everyone will tune in to watch it.  It will be a massive money maker.

It's win/win for McGregor.  He will collect a fortune and even if he is schooled... sure that's what is supposed to happen.  The only up side for Mayweather is the money.  If he wins, sure it was a farce.  If he loses, he should be embarrassed.

[imtommygunn]

Easy win for conlon.

[JimStynes]

His opponent looked completely shite to be fair. This should be a good fight tonight. Spence is a great fighter but hasn't fought someone like Brook yet. Will be interesting to see if Brook can bounce back after the GGG fight. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a draw.

[lurganblue]

I actually like brook. No bullshit. Wants the best fights. Hope he wins tonight and then tells Khan to go to f*ck

[bennydorano]

£19.95 for Joshua fight,  £21.95 for the Brook fight? Bow wow
