I am but I'm absolutely knackered 22 weeks pregnant. DH not long home from work and I've got salt and pepper chips in the oven! Oh and hoping for a Mayweather win

Yeah there's a live feed on the Guardian that says two.

Typically tonight is the first time I've been having a good sleep in months, gutted when my alarm went off hah.

32 weeks pregnant & staying up, I might admit defeat soon

I'm here, not feeling too sleepy yet, was that the last one before the main event?

One more I think hiding

We're up!

We're Team McGregor because we're Irish and Mayweather is a domestic abuser.

But I think he'll win...

Thanks Nova. Pretty sure DH is going to sleep through it, have tried to wake him twice and he's not budging. He'll be gutted, not least because it's the first time we've ever spent money on pay per view

I'd be very surprised if Mayweather doesn't win.

Ooft, too pricey to sleep through hiding! Although at least its not the $100 American's are paying.

I'm on holiday in the USA and DH has gone out to watch the fight so I'm sitting up waiting for him to make his way home so marking my place, you can tell me who won and when it finishes.

Been up since 1am to watch it, been looking forward to this for ages. Really hoping for a McGregor win but think Floyd will probably take it. Not sure you can make up for all those years of experience. Conor has just cracked me up in his dressing room interview

DS and two of his friends are camping out in our living room. They are 16. One of them had no interest until DS invited him over so not sure he will feel it worth missing a nights sleep for!

DS is a huge McGregor fan - we are also Irish. He has been counting down the days since the fight was announced. GCSE results day on Thursday was actually McGregor Fight Eve Eve! He will be gutted if McGregor loses.

DH was planning on setting alarm and then seeing how he feels. I'm in bed MNing as can't sleep.

And one of DS's friends has to be in work tomorrow at 8am! His dad is picking him up at 7.30.

Not interested in boxing in the slightest, infact I can hardly even bare to watch it. However DP's best friend and his girlfriend have just moved into a new house and invited us round to watch it. I've literally only come to have a nosey at their new house I'm bloody shattered! Their brand spanking new kitchen is absolutely gorgeous though, they have white sparkly granite worktops and I am in love.

Hello! We're up, hoping for McGregor but quite sure it'll be a Mayweather win.

I'm awake but not watching as I assumed I wouldn't be awake. I'll just have to follow via a newsfeed

Anyone betting on Conor getting angry & going all UFC on Mayweather

I've said to DH numerous times "yeah, but, it'd be pretty funny if he kicked him in the head. Am I right?" jon

JonSnowsWhore · 27/08/2017 04:27

Apparently people are placing actual bets on it happening haha! I mean seeing as I want Conor to win, if it's not going his way then I'll take that as a second option for the entertainment value!

It's 730 am where I am in the world so the whole country is up!

Lots of events for people to watch etc.

I've no interest in it but it has been nice to see some enthusiasm.

I'll be watching it, assuming DD goes to sleep soon that is! only because we can watch it for free, definitely wouldn't pay $100 for it.

Smeone said today that if McGregor loses his shit he forfeits his pay check...

I'm sitting in a hotel room with sleeping children whilst DH is out with holiday bar friends watching it here. I've no interest in it but need to stay awake and make sure he gets back here ok, he will but I'll still stay up!

I'm sooo peed off that I got up at 1am because I was scared of it starting early & missing it, when I could have got some decent sleep & be getting up now. But I think it was the AJ fight I missed the start because it stated earlier than billed so didn't want that happening again 😫 you just know that as soon as it's over & I sneak off to bed, the 4 year old is going to ping up out of his bed like a little vampire
