I just had a buddy of mine watch Conor in Toronto today and told him it was like watching Stone Cold on one of his better nights. Aside from yesterday, that was some really good shit.

The first one in Toronto is alright. The other one was boring. They just keep shouting the same insult over and over again.
Floyd: HE'S A QUITTER! FIGHTER'S DON'T QUIT!
Conor: TAKE OFF YOUR HIGH HEELS YOU ILLITERATE FUCK!
K. Not following any of the other pressers.

Tapped to a submission hold on his record. Floyd proposes he could have not quit in that fight.
All top pros tap to submissions so it is what it is.

I'll be rooting for Conor, but it won't surprise me if he gets taken out by the best defensive boxer of all time. I think Conor can potentially make it past a low round count however.
In a real fight or MMA match, it's true that Mayweather wouldn't have a chance, but in a fight with specific rules that he's been doing since he was a kid, was declared to have the best defense of all time, 15 titles in 4 different weight classes, and has only fallen off a bit? He's still undefeated right? I think he's got a pretty big leg up there.
I'm not a boxing or PPV fan but I'll be watching this with popcorn just for sheer entertainment/comedic value.
EDIT: which is exactly what they wanted and why they put on this farce. But I'll eat it up anyway.

Everyone is rooting for Conor as the underdog, myself included.
That doesn't mean we aren't buying the fight solely to see if Mayweather has a finish left. Believe that no educated man is buying this for Conor's puncher chance. Floyd says RD4 TKO. With 10 oz gloves vs 8 oz its a tossup.

Promoters sure know how to do their job.
I overheard a conversation about the fight today between two guys. Both followed neither boxing nor MMA and were talking about how McGregor is younger and has a longer reach and how Mayweather is old, was certainly very very good, but is probably not as good now... one of the guy thought McGregor would win and the other wondered if he would be able to not kick Mayweather (see above) and be sent to jail for assault. They also thought all the trash talking was a bit lame, and that the whole show around the fight was a bit over the top.... I did not butt in, but, guess what guys, it's because promoters are good that this event that, from a sport point of view is retarded, gets talked about by you and me, people who don't give much of a damn about the sport and that is that reach that will generate a silly amount of pay per view and a silly volume of bets. And you know what bookmakers like? People who bet on things they know nothing about.
It's a bit like poker and how it's in the benefit of good poker players to have as much bad players as possible entering the pool.

It's not shocking that our reality TV nation is so easily hyped with manufactured drama and promotion. It is kind of sad, though.
Unless the fight is scripted, and they start some crazy WWE shit, this fight is going to be boring as fuck from a competitive standpoint.

Uh... have you ever seen a Mayweather fight? I'm pretty sure you WON'T see someone get their ass kicked. Whole lot of pillow fighting.

Probably not. Last time I watched boxing willingly was when Roy Jones Jr was doing well. Floyd was probably still on his way up back then.
That's disappointing if true. But I'm going to watch anyway.
