To think the 'big fight' is a bit pathetic?

[malificent7]

Apparently at the weigh ins they have been calling each other names like dog shite.
Mature!
I know it's a bit of showmanship but aibu to find the macho posturing annoying?

UABU I can't wait to watch.

Trash talk is all part of the show. I love boxing, best sport imo.

It's literally a sport where two people punch each other. When else should macho posturing be done?!

It's annoying me too, I'm a boxing fan but it is not going to be a fight that lives up to the hype. I did laugh when they both eyeballed and snarled at each other and everyone else including the Corona girls just stood there not reacting.

McGregor is annoying little turd and I hope he gets his comeuppance.

I normally quite enjoy boxing - loved the Anthony Joshua match, but Mayweather is a seria wife eater and should be in prison, not being paid millions. He disgusts me.

Yanbu, it's ridiculous. I don't get the entertainment in fighting at all, it should be banned.

It's literally two blokes punching the hell out of each other, would be a bit weird if they were exchanging pleasantries before hand.

I can't wait to watch and I hope McGregor wins. Can't abide Mayweather

#we'reheretotakeover

Oyster, I don't get the entertainment of lots of things. Can't imagine wanting something banned just because I don't like it though

It's primal. Two men pitted against each other in a show of strength, skill and guts. It's not two fat fellas down the boozer having a punchup

Ultimately It's a big fat pay packet for those involved. Conor McGregors showmanship and flamboyance brings the cash and the crowds. Mayweather is a legendary boxer and it being portrayed as a grudge match raises the bankability of the match and fighters.
The hype is part of it-they will both be walking away with ridiculous amounts of money. But yes-it's all a bit much I agree. Suspect they won't care though

YABU for giving this the oxygen of publicity. It is not a fight, a piece of sport or a show. It is a money making exercise.

Wife eater

YANBU, I love boxing, but the pre-fight slanging match is just daft.

I can't wait! I'm putting money on McGregor and getting up at 5am in morning just to watch it!

I love fighting sports/arts.

YABU They need to get themselves worked up, it's part of getting into the right frame of mind to win a fight.

I don't get the hype - went once to a bar where one was being shown, it was rammed and everyone was really excited. It lasted like five minutes!

It's annoying me too, I'm a boxing fan but it is not going to be a fight that lives up to the hype.

I agree. It will be over in a couple of rounds.

Both take their ridiculous purses and go home.

YANBU, it's appalling behaviour. Nobody in this house will be watching it; I saw the trailer with the one screaming in the other's face. How is that sport?

I cannot abide Floyd Mayweather, he's a cretinous, odious little man and I'd dearly love to see Conor McGregor knock him out. I'll be getting up at silly o'clock tomorrow morning to watch it too 🇮🇪

It's a farce tbf

If it's not fixed then it will just be a case of mcgregor getting humiliated and knocked about for as long as floyd wants.
Which is just fine by me, can't fucking stand mcgregor.

I'd dearly love to see Conor McGregor knock him out.

I dislike both of them. However that has very little chance of happening.

That's why I said I'd like to see it, rather than saying it's what I thought would happen. In all likelihood Mayweather will win on points because he's paid off whoever decides as usual, but he is living proof that money changes nothing. He's still a vicious abuser.

I woukdn't mind it if they hadn't been banging on about it for what seems an eternity...... llast week i said to dh has this not happened already? Don't know either if them as not iinto boxing or MMA but would be funny if mayweather just knocked him out in the first round after all the hype

I can't believe it hasn't happened yet - they've been calling each other silly names for about 6 months now!

Ha snap minions

Yabu it is unbelievably pathetic

I generally enjoy boxing but I'm passing on this one , Mayweather is revolting and from what I've seen the Irish one isn't much better , they seem perfectly matched as 2 very unpleasant people .
