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

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?

It's satire/parody with McGregor. I love him, the cheeky little bollox!

^^ this.

McGregor is an annoying prick. I'm not over-fond of Mayweather, but I'd love him to knock McGregor out in the first round just to shut the tit up.

Cmon Conor! 🍀

I think the whole 'sport' of beating each other up is stupid and pathetic beyond belief, personally.

Currently in Vegas. I was more annoyed that the hotel prices were ridiculous for tonight.

A lot of the locals here don't like Mayweather at all.

Yanbu at all I was having the same conversation with oh. He says its all fun and gets people interested and is a bit of pantomime starting from Mohammed Ali days.
It doesn't get me interested though.

McGregor used to be a boxer, not a professional one but he planned to be and it was pretty much his life until he turned 19 and discovered MMA....... so everyone that keeps saying "oh he's not even a boxer!", well he actually is!

I'd LOVE to see McGroegor win, and I go think he has a shot, but I think Mayweather the wife beater will win Angry

I dont like that its an actual sport at all tbh. People die from taking bad hits, its dangerous. How is beating someone up til they cant continue to fight back, get knocked out etc, entertaining?! It frightens me tbh.

Connor is rather pleasant to watch, until he opens his mouth!

Spuddington · 26/08/2017 17:54

I'm so bloody excited! Pub is staying open (tickets only) and I'm working so I get to watch!

I love Conor mcgregor and agree with pp who said it's all show. Maywether is a wife beater where as mcgregor has a lovely little family and largely credits his partner with all his success openly saying without her it would not have happened. I obviously don't know but from interviews I suspect behind closed doors he's a lovely man and knows that the arrogance and big mouth is what gets him these huuuuuuggggeee pay packets!

I bought CM was a boxer, all I've ever head of him is pressshots and PR stunts.

I've never watched a boxing match til this year when DH and some mates had a party for Joshua against that Klitschko chap. Loved it. I was leaping about the sofa shouting for Joshua's tiny shorts. Awesome sport, can't believe I didn't realise it til 36.

Dislike violence and fighting. Isn't what this is

honeyrider · 27/08/2017 02:51

I love Conor McGregor, he's no fool and he's one of the best at marketing himself.

He's got nothing to lose as he's the underdog but win or lose the fight he will have increased the market value of his brand as well as picking up over $100,000.

I would love to see him win but my head tells me it will be the wife beater.

Arealhumanbeing · 27/08/2017 02:56

I love the build up to a big fight but then can hardly watch.

When they were doing the "trash talk" and one screamed in the others face! It was awful.

steff13 · 27/08/2017 03:31

I'll root for anyone against that punk wife beater Mayweather. Go Conor!
