    Have to say lads, I ordered a now tv box late last week for the sole purpose of watching this fight and I have to say the quality of the stream on the sky box office app is absolute quality so far, it hasn't missed a beat yet. It makes a show of ufc fight pass platform when you could order a ppv on it that is.

    Even the fight thread is dead compared to a Conor UFC fight. I dont think this breaks any PPV records, people seem a tad disinterested a bit.

    People are in bed with an alarm set for the fight, they don't want to sit through all the drivel that is the undercard for this fight.

    Boring fights so far probably cause so many TMT fighters they all try to be floyd running around the ring

    I'm shocked at how quiet the arena is. I naively thought that people would want to see the undercard. I'm sure the atmosphere in the bars and outside the arena is electric.

    Yeah it seems eerily quiet in there.

    They should have had a mixed ppv card of UFC fights and boxing fights given the demographic tuning in for this.

    Davis fight should be good at least.

    Jaysus, thought Conor Jnr. might have sat/slept this one out.

    $100 for the PPV in the USA and Fight Pass has gone down.

    The Sky Sports Box Office one has been flawless so far, but it is a bit of a worry.

    I'm more worried about Dana's heart :pac:. He was already in ribbons before today.

    You have to laugh at the talk about the fight being bad for boxing, the real thing that's bad for boxing is record people tuning in for a muck undercard with all these sh!theads wearing TMT.

    MMA undercards are often bad on paper but end up delivering more often then than not.

    Nice to be able to doze off for a couple of hours and miss nothing of note, unlike an MMA PPV undercard.

    A few people told me not to miss the Jack vs Cleverly fight. It is essentially Jack hitting a punching bag with legs so far.

    Zzzzzzzzzz.

    A bad boring MMA fight is as rare as a good exciting boxing match!

    McGregor to have a short kip before the fight, get a pep talk from Christopher Walken in a dream and then proceed to knock Floyd out in the 4th round.

    Yes, Yes, and... Did I mention Yes?

    Undercard fights should go the way of UFC. Less rounds. Make an impression rather than...
    Punch hold punch
    Punch Punch hold
    Hold hold hold
    Pun...
    You get the point.

    The Sky Sports commentary is painful. Wish we could have the Showtime guys.

    Thank Christ that ended early. Hopefully Davis lives up to all the hype and ends it early.

    Surely a foregone conclusion considering the boxing community creaming themselves over him.

    He's 1/33 to win. An embarrassing matchup that fits well with the rest of this undercard.
