McGregor getting roughed up by Paulie

It's still amazing to me that a Mayweather opponent is using his camp to learn how to box.

you dumbass none of floyd vs mcgregor tickets were sold to 3rd party sites! Dana white said this on sportscenter you can youtube it! All 20k tickets will have to be bought by individuals...... Floyd vs manny only released 1 thousand tikets to the public!!! Ggg vs canelo only released 3 thousand!!! So if your dumbass can do the math thats 17 thousand more tickets for the public for may vs mac fight...... You can google this

ok since they are open to the public than why arent they sold out if its such a hot fight you IDIOT

He said that it was audible when it wasn't. When he put his hands together to make the motion, the fighters were looking straight at one an other and were not paying attention to the ref since he was not even close to being between them.

I understand what you are saying, but everyone ring side understood the fight was back on when Cortez motioned, and obviously Floyd did as well. The only individual who didn't pay attention was Ortiz. Besides, it's protect yourself at all times. Floyd has been known to hit on the break, that should have honestly been common sense imho.

Like I said I didn't enjoy the way it went down, and I do think Floyd would have won handily anyway, but it is what it is. Cortez is done reffing, so there is no way he will be able to influence a future fight at this point anyway lol.

yeah and im sure mcgregor knocked him down 10x or whatever bull**** they feed is to sell this god awful fight

Floyd has been quiet lately... he's definitely a bit concerned at age 40 coming off that long layoff.

The funny part is it's been basically the opposite


"Conor has above average power, not great"
"Conor's gonna need more options than just his power..."
"Paulie AND Conor are roughing each other up"

Watch a couple of the Paulie Malignaggi interviews, that's literally what he said about Mcgregor.

I'd wager Mayweather is silent because he doesn't give a **** and wants to do anything to make this look like less of a mismatch to sell the fight.

[aboutfkntime]

The fact that you have two individuals hyping this fight up doesn't bother me, it happens pre-fight for every fight no matter if the boxing world feels like it's a mismatch or not, so them spewing noise doesn't really bother me at all.

One thing I will say though, this definitely lets me know that Mayweather vs Pacquiao was 100% important to the boxing industry, and it's fan base. That fight was sold out in a couple of minutes. The ticket prices reached 6 figures alone!

This fight, while in a bigger arena, is not sold out yet, at 1/10 the price of May-Pac and these fools have guarantees combined of probably close to 200 million dollars.

If the way the tickets are selling is any indication on the PPV numbers, there may be some money lost. I get trying to sell the fight as much as possible, but you can't sell it to seasoned boxing fans. Only the casuals are getting suckered into this fight, and while I still think it will sell good as far as PPV goes, I don't see it coming even remotely close to May-Pac. I would venture around 1.5 mil to 2 mil at the most.

that is exactly what I said Thutch

I cannot see how that fight will sell more than Pac/May

I say 2mil - 2.5mil

[jay543]

Proof...

These are verbatim quotes from another thread Paulie said in those interviews:

"You Look back on it, it was kind of fun"
"He's got some pop in his left hand"
"He's effective"
"There's a method behind his madness... I'm sure it'll be entertaining and fun"

As far as Conor's gameplan:
"There's holes there"
"Is he going to be effective? I don't know"
"We both landed some shots"
"It was good work"

Conor's Power?:
"He's not a weak puncher"
"He's an above average puncher"

"Is it oh my god power? No."

"Conor doesn't have that kind of power"

If we're talking about a retired Paulie roughing up a prime Mcgregor.

Mcnugget is FOOKED
