Re. the fight being at 154, I think that had more to do with glove size than Mayweather's camp not knowing how big McGregor is

The height debate for the 5000th time going on again I see.

If what people talk about bothers you that much don't visit the forum. You were told yesterday people are free to talk about what they wish, if they start talking about something they shouldn't I will be the one to pull them up on it not you. Your constant sniping at posters is getting tiring, give it a rest or you will be taking a break.

Floyd claims he still got the 100 mill cheque from 2015

Outlaw Pete · 11-07-2017 03:23PM

Seems to be going out of his way to show that there is not truth to the rumour that he's broke.
Some might say thou doth protest too much :P

JoeyJJ · 11-07-2017 03:28PM

Why pay his taxes on time anyway surely he has better uses for it, however that doesn't fit in with an uncashed cheque not making cash.

dashoonage · 11-07-2017 03:31PM

When are we likely to hear anything about the undercard fights?

Yeah, he seemed to be almost embarrassed that he was chartering a jet rather than flying on his own private one. He explained it 3 or 4 times.

Why does the YouTube stream say 10pm and people here say 9pm? My brother seen ab article saying 8pm too.

dave1982 · 11-07-2017 04:01PM

Whos gonna show up a presser first both have history of being late... haha whoevers last is the "A side"

wonderfullife · 11-07-2017 04:01PM

Vegas offering odds of 4/1 that Conor "throws something" at the Presser, 2/15 that he doesn't.

If only we had a connection to the camp who posts on here who could drop a hint to Conor to throw a tennis ball into the crowd :pac:

Good spot. Defo said 9pm last night. Must be changed to 10 so.

Outlaw Pete · 11-07-2017 04:12PM

Just to confuse things..... Showtime say 8:30pm.

Whenever McGregor gets there is the real answer I suppose :P

Richard tea · 11-07-2017 04:13PM

Will they face off at each presser?

Maybe they told both McGregor and Mayweather that it starts at 8pm, in an effort to get them to turn up on time?

Would say so. The LA ones are always strange though.

The one with Ortiz for example was very ott. Smoke bombs going off during the face off and the like.

I've faced off with Conor and he towered over me. I'm 6'4.

Does he really have wings of fire?

When he fought Dustin they where the same height and he is billed as 5'7,
I think as someone rightly said Conor has a very good posture so tends to look a bit taller.

Poirier has always been billed as 5 9"

dashoonage · 11-07-2017 04:45PM

I dont know why everyone is getting so caught up on the height thing. The big show must have had 2ft on may weather and still lost.

Don't think anyone believes just cause he's taller it means he will win tbf.

His reach advantage will be much more to his advantage than a height one.

As predicted the whole tax thing is getting to him as he's even posted IRS receipts on his instagram........

https://www.instagram.com/p/BWZP1LBgrcO/

The chap lives for people seeing him through his earnings and so when that's questioned (even when in reality there is perhaps no truth to it) it winds him up for sure.

johnpatrick81 · 11-07-2017 05:11PM

I hope Jeremy Stephens is there somewhere in the background....

Paully D · 11-07-2017 05:13PM

Article on ESPN reporting that McGregor will be giving the UFC $40m of his cut.

If anything, this was just another way for him to show off his money again. Showing a cheque for 100m in the process as well.

It was going around they wanted 50% so they probably did settle on a 60/40 split. $60m its still gigantic money and he'll probably make more than that on this fight.
