McGregor coming across as petty here.

If you don't think they had a contingency in place to stop that fight as soon as Conor looked vulnerable then you are once again letting hate and anger for Floyd cloud your judgement , ability to think critically, and whatever common sense God blessed you with.
How about you stop lying that your objection to this was rooted in concern for the sport or another mans health or well being and just be honest like your shrink tells you to be.
Repeat after me:
My name is Shape up and I hate Floyd Mayweather and I am mad that he made $250+ million to fight conor while the guys I like have to fight on HBO and ESPN for relative peanuts.
WOOOOOOSAAAAAH!
Do you feel better??

The problem isn't that I am not a serious fan, it's that you let your hatred of Floyd drive your feelings and anger in an immature way.
Your anger should be directed at the teams of other boxers that haven't learned how to develop their fighters brands to the point that they attract casual fans like Floyd and Conor did.

Honestly this still isn't a fight worth crowing about. Sure he made a lot of money but neither fighter really looked good. Connor had basic boxing skills at best, no power and trash stamina and honestly Floyd didn't look that much better, giving early rounds away. I don't buy that he let Connor have those early rounds on purpose to make the fight more exciting either, I think he just looked old for the first time. In the end it wasn't the most convincing or explosive stoppage either. Still, as bad as the fight was on paper beforehand and how bad it actually was in fact, there's no denying that it was hyped up to high heaven and even the fight's biggest detractors got caught up in it a bit, including myself. So credit to Floyd for being a master marketer as usual. Honestly that's probably what he's bragging about rather than the quality of the win.

Originally posted by Shape up View PostYou justify this by how much revenue it generated, keep watching garbage fights like this sideshow, that shows your very limited mentality
You are not even embarrassed by how angry you are that this event was successful and many fans had fun watching it. You need to let go of that bitterness dude.

Originally posted by Shape up View PostSo by you saying its a one off, that tells me you know it was wrong but your still trying to justify it because your a fanboy, so your willing to bend your morals to suit your agenda, that says a lot about you
The world is rich and varied different people like different things whats right for one is wrong for another.
This fight was a movie a side show, a circus act, just like Ali fighting the Wrestler, pure entertainment that capitalized on their status made them a huge amount of money, it was never ment to be anything other than what it was, lots of fight parties went down all over the world and the Arena was a sell out and the PPV huge.
Your issues are personal and come from within.

If you hate Floyd, ok. But it isn't his fault that guys that posters like Shape Up like haven't crossed over into the mainstream.
Maybe if those guys were as good as Floyd (which is likely not possible) or showed their personality (or even created a fake one for TV) they might be able to.
Why you always pickin' on Floyd. As if the guy doesn't put his own foot in his mouth.
