    I don't do streams any more because I can't be dealing with the stopping and starting and the bad quality.

    Plus they get shut down and I can't find another one.

    Maybe I'm too old for this stuff but I'd much rather pay and watch it in comfort knowing it is in HD and won't pause or turn off.

      Saturday night will be one of the times where I am rooting for him.

      Whether you like Mayweather's arrogance, confidence or whatever you wanna call it, or not he has earned the right to have that attitude because he is one of the very best in his sport.

      McGregor has never boxed professionally in his life and thinks because he is good at MMA he will be able to beat one of the greatest boxers of all time. All the pundits are wrong. All the former fighters. And all the fans. McGregor knows something we don't and he is going to win. Apparently.

      It is so disrespectful to our historic sport for McGregor to be able to talk his way into a fight of this magnitude. And to approach it with this level of disrespect.

      If somehow, someway McGregor does manage to win it is going to be an absolute hail mary, freak punch.

      I say that last bit because I realise nothing is impossible, but more likely McGregor is going to get seriously humiliated.

      I'm even a little concerned about his welfare. I mean I know Mayweather isn't a big puncher, but he will be hitting McGregor from angles Conor doesn't even know exists. This is one of the best boxers of all time against someone who has never had a pro fight before. The gulf in class is HUGE.

      I think Conor will be pulled out somewhere between rounds 4-7 after being used as target practice and barely laying a glove on Floyd.

      Floyd will have had more competition sparring for this fight than the fight itself.

      Anyone else only buying to see just how badly Floyd humiliates this guy?
      You are so ****** you don't deserve to have that man in your signature.

      What do you expect from Connor? to think that he won't be able to beat floyd? or to trash talk less so that the fight doesn't sell as well?

      You fell into the trap fool. You're gonna pay for the fight and you just want an excuse.

        I'm buying it so I can hopefully witness McGregor get brutalised by a brittle hand none puncher with no KO in 20 years.
        floyd fans making excuses as to why they'll buy the fight. so you mad at conor for acting like floyd? LOL!!!! did you buy floyd's last 10 fights because you want to see him lose?

          This sums me up EXACTLY. I couldn't have typed it any differently/better!

              Agree with all of this. And fight parties are the bomb.

              My point is I think the fight is a gigantic mismatch. If Conor gave Mayweather his proper respect and basically said he realises he is a massive underdog, but is gonna give his all. I'd be like "Okay, dude is still gonna get merked, but let's see what happens."

              Instead we have Conor acting liking he is the favourite and that it's gonna be a walk in the park. That just makes people say "I am tuning in just to watch him get whipped."

              Yes, I am aware that showmanship sells fights, but you know what else does? Competitive fights. If trash talk sells fights then how come the arena still apparently has thousands of unsold seats?

              Yes, I am buying the PPV. And I have explained why. It's a reason. Not an excuse.

              Try again.

                I don't need an excuse to buy a fight if I want to buy it I will buy it.

                As for Floyd's last 10, if I wasn't live in attendance I watched it on my TV yes.

                      but you just quoted the topic starter and said yeah pretty much why you're buying it. topic starter gave reasons why he's buying this fight and you agreed. LOL! so that right there is an excuse to buy the fight.
