Where does all this begrudgery come from? Some country.

We went Robin hood on their asses when they decided to live in Dalkey off us....supporting your own has a bad taste when they steal from their own.

It damaged the idea of supporting the 'Irish'.

In fairness Mc Gregor is going to buy his own house in Dalkey.

I never said you have to support one or the other.
You offered you support first, of your own accord.

Oh gaaawd Mellor.
You have suddenly discovered this thing called sexism?

Yeah you don't get to lecture me about sexism.

I don't really like either of them.

You that thing #notallmen #notallwhitepeople

Sometimes it's all the men in the room though or all the men in the ring. Or all the white people at the racist rally.

I don't really expect much from Boxing or MMA in fairness. I mean i would expect most to be wife beaters. You would wouldn't you? It's almost cool to beat your wife these days.

You don't get to suddenly discover sexism because it suits you and use it against women. You are either always aware ..or not..don't jump on the bandwagon

[Guest]

Sayin all that ...i will prolly watch..and then give out shit about them.....i have the woman card *not sexist*

Besides in fairness to them all men in sport act the same.

Hope that hypocritical irony is intentional. Or maybe that's just faux-feminism

[Solksjaer!]

If McGregor won I'd say fair play. Thinking he's going to get his arse handed to him isn't begrudgery , it's a pretty logical opinion.

Be better for him to dive early or he could take a serious beating

Spot on brother . I just get lucky with my chelski predictions . I've never boxed but have done martial and (marital)arts and at least I know the difference and respect the crafts. McGregor should be 20 to 1.

First time in a few years that I haven't had a job and it's amazing how bored I am now. I don't know what I got up to for so long and not having a car at the minute makes it even worse.
I'm trying to weigh up having a car if I intend to move to Dublin. I'm into it for 2-2.5k with initial cost and then fuel etc for year. Its probably unnecessary financially but you have less motivation to do things when you're so bored.

McGregor should be a massive price but there's also a reason that an early knockout is a huge price. Mayweather doesn't do that shit. He plays chess, I do think he'll punch the body off him and get a stoppage eventually though if the lucky punch doesn't land. Maybe McGregor will leave himself open in the hopes of catching him but they both start slow, usually in MMA McGregor finds his target early, zero chance he'll find that with mayweather.

[TheDrunkenOne]

Long time no post but getting excited with this MMA/Boxing match at weekend.
My thoughts are that its a lot closer than odds are giving as Mayweather only has 2 KO's in last 11 yrs (14 fights) and McGregor has never been knocked out albeit he has never fought a true boxer..
Mayweather will be defensive hoping to pick McGregor apart while McGregor will have to rely on his youth/speed/power and hope to connect early otherwise Mayweather will wear him out and it will become a farce as two knackered fighters search for scraps with Mayweather picking up a points win but I hope/dont think that will happen.
My forecast is one of two things;
(1) McGregor will lunge in and connect early and fight stopped as he pounds Mayweather in 1st/2nd round, or
(2) McGregor will lunge in and Mayweather will dodge and use McGregors forward momentum against him as he lands a plumb punch on jaw leaving McGregor googly eyed on floor.

Mayweather was fighting mainly elite boxers from champions to number one contenders in the last 11 years. Each and every one of them would have humiliated Conor in a boxing bout.

Have people lost their minds when analysing this?

I would obviously love to see McGregor win. I'm no boxing historian by any means but I can't think of a bigger upset in recent history at least.
IMO as far as H2H goes across any sport McGregor would be up there with Japan vs South Africa

[Theresa]

I honestly think I'll find entertainment in whatever way it goes. I'm looking forward to it.

It would be so sick if he knocked him out though. People would lose their minds. I wanna see that.

Mayweather will give a Mickey Thomas style wink when on the canvas should that happen

[Theresa]

This is probably woefully naive but I can't see it ever being fixed for Mayweather to lose. Unless he is in much much deeper financial shit than people are saying.

No way he wants any sort of tarnish on his legacy. No way he wants to lose - his whole persona and brand comes from being undefeated, being a winner. 49-1 would hurt a lot more than the value of making another 100mil imo. This isn't just another boxing match, its a amateur vrs the best boxer of his generation. A fix for a loss is so much more damaging than say if he had lost to Pacquiao.

Even writing that it sounds naive tbh lol...maybe Im going crazy. I am getting old.

I heard something on a podcast today (cant remember which one) . There was a boxer that went over to MMA and he said that although McGreagor has a strong punch it isnt as strong as plenty of the fighters he had boxed before. He did mention how accurate he was all the same. If that's the case all the talk of Conors punching power is sadly overrated

He should get awarded for businessman of the year for pulling this off.. Can anyone else think of a single moment where someone basically talked their way to €100 million..

Im not gambler enough to be bothered backing at these prices but surly there will be a massive opportunity to back the wife beater now and just lay of near the bout as certain massive money comes on the day of the fight.

No intention of betting and really no idea bar watching the odd McGregor fight but surely this is correct?

Saw a guy on tv equating it to the best triathlete taking on the best marathon runner.

That said if i do watch it live of course i'll be cheering on as long as jts not some obv fix rematch...

[Guest]

Something to consider for anyone betting mcg can go the distance,interesting post on boards
"The NSAC are under serious pressure after, not just authorizing a fight between a novice against the best boxer in the world but also going outside to the rules and approving 8oz gloves.

If anything happens to McGregor in terms of head injury, The commission will be facing legal action the likes of which they have never seen. This could potentially lead to the commission giving strict instructions to Referee Robert Byrd to stop the fight at the first sign of McGregor taking too much punishment. They can't risk the possibility that he may sustain serious injury and may stop the fight prematurely to, not just protect McGregor, But more importantly protect themselves"

I watched this match, and it was an incredible comeback from Hellmuth.

He beat Doug Polk yesterday to set up a meeting with Jungleman today, and they shared the first 2 rounds. At the start of the 3rd round playing 100k each and blinds 500/1000, Hellmuth 3bets 32o and fires 3 bullets to drop to 27k after just 3/4 hands. A little while later Hellmuth folds 89s to a shove, leaving himself on 6k and Jungle on 194k. He then wins a few flips and picks up some hands, and then pretty much outplays Jungleman including that ridiculous fold in the clip where Jungleman folds 105 on a 101023 board when Hellmuth shoves 9.5k into 60k. After that, Hellmuth just picked up all the orphan pots and managed to find some top pair hands, but well deserved over the whole game because Jungleman never recovered.
