I'm trying to educate boxing folks like Walshb who genuinely seem to believe boxers are the best fighters. They're not. They'd all be destroyed against elite kickboxers, MMA fighters, wrestlers on the street in unarmed combat. Anyway.... 49-1

Been some great clips floating around my facebook today, Broners "First televised bank robbery" is gold, Mike Tyson interview was funny, Hitman comments etc, only people probably not happy about this exhibition bout are Canelo, GGG and all connected with that fight as it is just going to get swamped by the Mayweather hype. It will kill it, which of course was the intention, Mayweather proving he is still the biggest thing in boxing and ****ting on a mega fight. I find it hard to get hyped for the match itself, don't think it will be much of a show, but the build up is sure to be excellent once the press conferences start, neither man will have encountered someone quite like the other in that setting so should make for some quality viewing. Depending on the undercard I may pay for it, but quite likely this will simply be streamed at this point. The near certainty of being ripped off by the main event and being left feeling robbed is overwhelming right now

wonderfullife wrote: » That didn't stop Chuck Norris and Van Damme from making fortunes. Neither of them can act to save their life. Ronda Rousey wasn't exactly putting in Oscar-winning performances in The Expendables either. I must have missed the Golden Globe Mike Tyson got for The Hangover films. Whether celebrities can act or not is irrelevant to their earning potential. They'd stick Conor in lots of action films alongside Jason Statham and the likes, throwing lots of kicks and not saying a whole lot.

wonderfullife wrote: » Conor's worst lines are the ones he prepares, but thankfully he doesn't do it often. The "pimp in Gucci mink" was prepared, so was the "animal balloons" line. They fell a bit flat. But when he just rocks up there for a presser unscripted, he's just naturally good on the mic responding to questions instinctively.
