Jim Lampley gives his thoughts on the Mayweather-McGregor press tour and fight

The Nevada Athletic Commission sanctioned this fight because the state stands to make a lot of money. Floyd and Conor are trying to make money, that's totally fine. The problem is the commission, by sanctioning the fight, are trying to make it a legitimate contest, instead of the bad joke that it is. Didn't the NSAC refuse to sanction an Andre Ward fight because it was a "mismatch"? The only difference here is that one of the fighters is named Mayweather.

Lampley is the biggest ****boy in boxing. Hands down. Complete cancer on the sport. Doesn't know anything about boxing. Guy has never threw a punch in his life but is always hating on the greats. The sport will be much better off when this bitter old cuckold bites the dust along with Larry Merchant. Pathetic HBO shill and Pacquiao dick rider. Also it's just sad, racist, and hypocritical the way he criticizes other athletes for domestic violence when he himself was arrested for beating a woman. Actually I don't even know if it's fair to call Lampley an HBO shill. Guy might just be a dick rider for Pac, Loma, and the other HBO flavors of the month. He's always been jealous of Bernard Hopkins, Mayweather, Rigo etc... He is always trying to tear them and has never given them their props. He even shamelessly went from saying that fans need accept that steroids are a part of boxing, to smearing Marquez's reputation and calling for the sport to be cleaned up after his boytoy Pac got knocked the **** out. I think he had high regards for mayweather. Merchant as well.

If it was an HBO PPV event I wonder how he would respond Yeah. It's funny actually. ITV are in the running to get the rights in the UK, it's between them and Sky. ITV broadcast the press conference in London and Anthony Crolla was working for them and along with the other people working they were trying to sell it a bit as a fight and that Conor might stand some chance. They have to say that incase they get the rights and need to sell it. Crolla is on another interview the very same day with one of the youtube boxing channels and he's saying its a mismatch and maybe Floyd ends it quickly lol.

Quoting PT Barnum, SAVAGE! There's one born every minute.

Reporter: "In the casual fans mind if Mayweather stops McGregor and dominates him does it do something for the the sport in their minds?" Lampley: "In the minds of people who don't understand what they're watching, yes, I guess so." Lmao at the condescending responses from Jim Lampley to the reporters.

Lampley has given Anthony Joshua and other fighters on Showtime respect and spoke highly of them previously. But regardless of whether he works for HBO or Showtime, he's not lying about this, that's for sure. #Truth

lampley just salty floyd left HBO. if he was covering this fight he would be lying his ass off and shilling for them about how competitive it will be

Quoting PT Barnum, SAVAGE!

for people who dont know what they are watching it will be impressive. explains floyd fans perfectly Actually Lampley could be describing the very people that watch HBO boxing. Jim Lampley is same guy who used sound effects to describe punches being landed in several fights. Remember the "Boom!"and the "Bam!" The suckers he was inferring to are the millions of rubes who bought Mayweather PPVs to see him lose over and over again. Those same rubes will buy this fight because they're convinced Mayweather could lose to an MMA fighter with a 0-0 record. The same rubes, HBO convinced that any fighter with KO power is suddenly the best fighter in the world.

Lampley can be biased at times but he Is simply the best at what he does. There Is no other commentator I would rather hear when watching a big fight. Although George Foreman was by far the funniest. Foreman, Merchant and Lampley were a perfect trio. Great boxing and lot's of comedy.

"I don't think anybody's a threat to vasyl lomachenko" - How about that guy (RIGO)...you know, the guy that you shamelessly tried to get disqualified? I guess Lampley forgot about him...

But that's what makes it funny because he was being truthful and honest about it and at the same time with a tone of don't waste my f*cking time with talk of this garbage. Lol
