    Paulie is a very good boxing expert. You can see he's grinding through his teeth when people talk about McGregor's knockout power sometimes

    Playing Floyd putting a whooping on Oscar might be a bit thick and make people realise what a miss match this is.

    Who honestly thinks that it isn't a mismatch?

    But upsets happen in every sport, hell they happen in all walks of life. People will tune in regardless to see if Conor can somehow pull this off, because if he does, they'll be witnessing something seriously special.

    Paulie speaks well but when the host is speaking he looks at the camera like a dog that has been caught sh*tting in the corner

    Can't believe he said that again. I thought he misspoke last night and would kick himself this morning when he realised what a dumb comment it was. Do you reckon he knows what mount Rushmore is? Fedor, Silva, Gsp, Jones.... And Eddie alvarez?

    Looking at the McGregor vs Alvarez I get the feeling this fight will be the same but with McGregor in the Alvarez role. He'll struggle to find an opening to get shots off and be picked off when he tries.

    Cormier, DJ, Ronda..... His mount Rushmore is very full.

    When Floyd destroys him hopefully it destroys Schaubs broadcast career.

    I've been slagging off Brendan for this and so have a lot of people. In reality he seems like a decent sort. Fair play to him for getting the gig.

    I'm really enjoying poking fun at schaub. He said a minute ago that 10oz gloves are an advantage for Conor... The guy who usually fights in 4oz...

    I thought brendan was a decent lad for a long time but after watching how he talks about Callen (the guy who made him famous in comedy), the way he talks to eddie bravo and how he thinks he knows it all I am not a massive fan anymore. Have you ever heard him go on about how hard of a worker he is? or how much he is 'killin it'?

    No home cities.

    Think they missed a trick not visiting Dublin, obviously it's not a big ppv market (if at all) in itself. It would be some spectacle though and the footage they'd get would be amazing.

    To be fair can you imagine how difficult it would be to come up with a monologue in front of 20,000 people for 8 minutes when you weren't expecting it. Add to that that he'd intentionally been left to stand around out there like a spare prick immediately prior to it. It'd take a special level of self belief not to go to pieces. I think under the circumstances he ad-libbed quite well. The 2 corporate guys who were on before him were reading from notes and still found it difficult not to stammer and lose track of what they were reading.

    If they try and pull the same stunt on him tonight you can bet he'll have better material. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice...

    I thought he did great.

    How does he talk to Callan? I don't really listen to Fighter And The Kid.

    Eddie Bravo is a bit of a lunatic in fairness. He probably does work hard and is killing it too!
