Comments Thread For: Spence: McGregor Was Trash in Sparring - He Won't Touch Floyd!

For those of you willing to drop $100 on this nonsense, you have been warned by professional's with Inside knowledge who has been In the ring with these guys. We have all seen what Mcgregor looks like hitting a heavy bag. I am still debating who won, the bag or Conner. What's more mind numbing Is people will still pay knowing that they are being taken advantage of.

That'd be true if your premise was correct. You're assuming the general public cares about the competitiveness of the fight. I don't think they do. It's like WWE for adults at this point lol people just want to watch. Fake/Competitive or not.

I think you are correct and It Is a shame IMO that boxing Is now on the level of the WWE.

LOL @ no stories about Mayweather's IRS trouble HAHAHA.

Maybe Floyd can ask that pack of Golddiggers he hangs with to help him pay his IRS bill...

You know theres a thread about Floyd's taxes if you care about that sort of thing.

I don't see MacG having a realistic shot. The press tour will be more exciting then the actual fight.

If it goes 12rounds they should give it to Floyd, I think Floyd will disgrace boxing if it goes the distance. I mean the other way around McG would stop Floyd in a minute

It's the fandom that started with the Mayweather/Pacquiao rivalry and got worse as social media became ubiquitous. So much garbage was perpetuated on social media so for the long. Things became less about the fight and more about bias and favorites.

That's how we get people calling close fights robberies every week, and talking about watching fights in slow motion. People don't care about the competitive aspects anymore. Within this community you can still find good commentary, but look at any ESPN boxing article on FB, the comment section is just as bad as b*xing24. It's just lunacy.

I understand where you are coming from but I still have a hard time grasping how a group of people can be told before hand that they are going to be taken advantage of and ripped off and yet they are still willing to hand over their money with a smile on their face.

We live In a strange time.
