OT- McGregor/Mayweather

[pattersaur]

I'm a casual UFC and boxing fan (I'll watch the big ppvs but that usually amounts to a couple times/year) and I'm going to a bar with some friends to watch this. $20 cover plus drinks so it won't be cheap and in my heart I'd say it's about 85% chance the fight stinks... but on the off chance something awesome happens, I want to see it!

Will you be watching?

Also, to whoever scheduled my fantasy football draft on Sunday morning... not good

I think it will be a snoozefest that goes the distance, setting up a rematch.

I want McGregor to get frustrated after a few rounds,  forget where he's at....and land a round house upside mayweathers head.

Interesting note from espn...Vegas police are expecting 300,000 people to be coming in for this fight and they know of gang members from around the country that are targeting all the drunks that will be there with pockets of money...the fights outside might be better than the ones inside...per sal palantonio

I don't see this ending well for McGregor. I'm cheering for him, because I dislike Mayweather... But I see this as a fight similar to the. Mayweather/ Gatti fight. I think McGregor tends to gas, and if this goes 4 rounds, I'll be shocked. 

Here is how I see it going:

Most the betting stubs are going to McGregor. ..most the money is going on mayweather.

I grew-up on Ali/Frazier/Foreman and then Sugar Ray. But I don't have the stomach for UFC or Boxing anymore.

And stay off my lawn too...

Couldn't agree more. About the lawn I mean. My lawn this year is awesome. Everyone who walks by says I have the best yard in the neighborhood. So when the neighbor kids decided to play in my front yard last night, I found myself actually telling them to "get off my lawn." I know. But it was wet. 

Agree too about whatever this is about. I grew up with Ali and Foreman and Frazier. I keep hearing references to this on sports radio, as if I'm supposed to know what this is. I don't even know what UFC is, or who Connor McGregor is.

Here is how I see it, if a UFC fighter beats an undefeated champion in Boxing at Boxing then Boxing is dead.  I seriously doubt McGregor can do what other proffesional boxers have failed to do.  But I sure would love to see it!!!  Slainte Conor!!

This. A thousand times this. I cannot stand Mayweather. I would laugh if it was a quick fight like Tyson/Spinks.
