The PPV event is exclusively through Showtime. Doubt there is any external option at all. Showtime Anytime does show live television, but I don't believe the app supports PPV purchases.

“He whimpers like a girl when he gets ripped to body,” Malignaggi wrote.

So Paulie got trolled so much, he dropped that fake ass "Boxing Respect" bullshit and is now shitting on Conor to whom ever will listen.

Also apparently his NDA is null & void now, but he's not talking yet?

Paulie was determined to become the butt of the joke. Kid displayed a ton of heart.

Conor on the couch tonight

I'm sure Conor is softer in the body than any old joe blow boxer. Boxers have days where they just condition with bodyshots.

I'm also sure he doesn't give a fuck.

Brings back a memory of this guy several years back telling me if I wanted to end sparring with one of these black guys, just tap them to the body a lil they hate it. He spoke like he was giving me the recipe for coca-cola. I just nodded slowly like you got it man.

Whats the line in Vegas that The Rock jumps out of the audience at some point and smashes whoever is winning with a folding chair?

Really good article, I'd offer.

Considering it's ESPN.

The bit about him grappling with mediocrity and deciding to fight, and therefore fight mediocrity, was a highlight for me.

Ya, I don't know much/anything about Dublin really, but Thompson is a really great writer. His piece a few years ago about Tiger Woods was even better, and shed some light into his psyche and what is driving him post golf.

I thought that Mayweather Pacquiao was the final nail in the coffin for worthless boxing ppvs.

I was wrong.

Does anyone think Connor actually has a chance?

Then will people even spend $100 on the PPV?

They're in it for spectacle. It's bringing in people who don't normally watching boxing. And I'm sure some really dumb people think Conor has a legit chance. No one in boxing does, though.

There's a ton of people who believe he has a chance. Morons, but there's a lot of em.

“Would I fight him? I don’t mind putting some leather on him. I enjoyed Tuesday night. I enjoyed throwing the beating that I gave him Tuesday night, and I would love to continue to do that,” Malignaggi said. “I could see that even in the half shape that I was in, I was starting to get the better of him by Tuesday. And the training camp would’ve only gotten worse, so he knew better than to keep me around.
“I would beat his ass like he stole something. And more importantly than me knowing it, he knows it. That’s the best part.”

this fool continues to be free publicity, while he's trying to "defend himself". wtf do you have to defend? you're out of shape and retired? you got invited to participate in the biggest boxing ppv of all time, where 5 ppl in the world know your name. And he's still clowning around doing interviews, defending himself, all the while hyping up the fight even more... FOR FREE!!!

he's publicizing the fight, and he's too CTE dumb to know it, no one gives a shit about some washed up retired boxer getting clowned, they'll give him the interview he wants... they only want the juicy insider details.

Kellerman has stated on numerous occasions "McGregor won't even land a single punch." He very well may be right.

I think this will sell quite a lot of pay per view tickets, as said above, for the (potential) spectacle.

IE: Scenario: Connor, like people expect, can't land a punch. However, he is also physically strong and can take a punch so he lasts a few rounds, but still unable to land any back. He is starting to look a fool compared to all his taunting leading up to the match. Mayweather and crowd starts taunting him as the match goes on. Connor, in a Tyson bites ear moment, flips his shit and goes MMA mode. While most agree that in pure boxing, Mayweather will easily win, most also agree that in a MMA match Connor would destroy Mayweather in seconds, not rounds. Connor disqualified, Mayweather getting the news he won after he wakes up.

Fairly sure that the vast majority buying this isn't buying it for the "this will be a great boxing match", but for a chance the match turns into something else.
