Comments Thread For: HBO's Lampley: Mayweather-McGregor a Scam, Rematch in Play

[paulf]

It's been really gross watching people in this industry try to bury their heads in the sand and pretend like that fight wasn't a runaway success in every aspect.

Before the fight, everyone in boxing was saying that it was a joke, that it wouldn't be competitive, that it would be boring, unpleasing the they eye, and Macgregor would look clueless and embarrassing. Myself included. We were all wrong. It turned out to be a fun and fan friendly fight, by far the most exciting fight Mayweather's been a part of since Castillo. The general public loved it and no one's complaining but people in boxing who don't want to admit they were wrong.

With May-Mac, people were told up front what they were getting, and it more than delivered. Now, Mayweather-Pacquiao? THAT was a scam.

" Did you just associate the word "risk" with Floyd Mayweather?" Ouch!

Anybody dumb enough to think McTapper had a chance of winning is too dumb to learn anything from the fight.

A rematch, under boxing rules, wouldn't sell anything like as well though, because the novelty/mystery aspect which drew in a lot of people is gone now.

There are millions of dumb Irish willing to buy this on either side of the Atlantic.

Mac sells them the same type of dummy that May sold the black community throughout the last ten years of his career.

No. Absolutely zero chance for a rematch. Thank god.

I want PAC to get a rematch, many others got a second chance.

It doesn't matter. The event was a massive success... fanboys on internet boards like this one can say whatever... the public loved it and will gladly buy it again.

its not just because many others got it, but looking at who's out there right now that floyd's willing to fight, manny still has the best chance. why would anyone want to see a floyd/conor rematch?
