Watching rocky to get in the mood.

Although I think the first creed fight was a fix

Here's a few other omens:

Conor has reminded me of UFC 194 Fight Week all week. Very relaxed and carefree at the presser wednesday then manic at weigh ins. Similar to his "zen" week against Aldo.

During that fight weekend, SBG had 2 fighters, the first lost (Gunni against Maia).
During this fight weekend, SBG had 2 fighters, the first lost (Sinead Kavanagh).

Jose Aldo: "You're a joker".
Floyd Mayweather: "You're a comedian".

I'm not very superstitious but I'll take anything :pac:

I wonder what stream of ****e Conor will be saying to Mayweather throughout the fight.

Also think he should hire some of those billboard vans to cut Floyd up in traffic and hem him in with. Pump out some appropriate music/**** talk and wreck Floyd's head on the way to the venue.

johnpatrick81 · 26-08-2017 08:30PM

Conor should do the walkout in full drag. Maybe with a tshirt saying "now you'll really wanna hit me" or something :pac:

Mayweather is gonna be in a leprechaun suit isn't he

Could we get some good spine tingling promos up in this thread if anyone's come across any good ones? I think I hit peak hype a little fast and I need to try and maintain it.

Not a promo but this will work

Let's see if they are laughing after tonight

1,700 tickets still left total but gate record still likely according to ESPN by virtue of the higher prices and the fact there's 3,000 more seats in the venue than Floyd v Manny. So basically they've sold 1,300 more tickets than May-Pac at higher prices.

MGM Properties also sold 12,500 tickets separately at $150 each for private viewing parties in their hotels.

Tickets going fast though with high rollers arriving:

I don't know who's more annoying, Foran or Hearn.

Eddie needs to lay off the sun beds, he looks like an extra from Gordie Shore.

I reckon McGregor is in Floyd's head. Chad Mendez, Nate Diaz, Eddie Alvarez, weren't bullied by McGregor - Aldo was, and I think Mayweather is also.

Just checking..

If Conor lands punches and still loses are you in the clear as regards being misguided-delusional?

If Conor wins can the boxing forum be turned into a sub forum of MMA

towntown · 26-08-2017 09:24PM

Not a hope I'll be able to keep my eyes open for this one.

What time should I set my alarm for? 04:30 too early or late?

Common sense clearly says Floyd but my heart is saying Conor. If he somehow pulls this off, the level of saltyness from some around here will be biblical and I want to see that nearly as much as a McGregor win :pac:

I try articulate in my writing what Conor's fighting means to some people but this little clip says it better than I ever could.

Love this.

slavetothegrind · 26-08-2017 09:28PM

very interesting alright....
Must throw a little doubt in your mind when confronted with such singlemindedness, such utter self belief and conviction.
I would love conor to win. Love it. But can't see past the skill set of Floyd in the game he dominates......

Spanish Eyes · 26-08-2017 09:30PM

I dislike both of them TBH

But Mayweather is a domestic violence junkie. Hate that.

I enjoyed that immensly.

XsApollo · 26-08-2017 09:53PM

What weight is Conor going to grow to overnight?
He looked like he cut a good bit there,
Not as bad as his 145 days but still cut a good bit.
Will he put 15lbs back on?
Floyd will be 150 and Conor 170 I'd say?

Hastentoadd · 26-08-2017 09:58PM

Would anyone agree with this. Conor will get beaten. But with the amount of money involved it must be seen to be a contest, So therefore it will last 5 or 6 rounds. Sponsors have put huge money into this. It cannot be seen as a flop. It has the potential to generate huge further revenues for PPV suppliers.

So would folks agree that Mayweather will simply play with Conor for a few rounds before this joke comes to an end?
