That was pretty cringe. He almost got down on his knees and kissed some shoe to apologise for sparring with Conor.

JK said he is scheduled to do a press conference with Senior in London.

Mayweather seems like a decent lad in real life.

Punched his daughter's mom in the face in 2001 and pleaded guilty and got a plea bargain deal.

Served 2 months in jail for battering his ex Josie Harris. Kicked her in the face while she was on the ground in front of her 2 children.

Punched 2 of Harris's best friends in the face for trying to intervene in a separate dispute.

Put a gun to Shantel Jackson's head and battered her.

Had 2 of these victims "recant" their testimony, likely after brown paper envelopes exchanged hands.

Seems a legitimately decent fella alright.

^^^ 100% right. Just because Floyd can act charming in front of the cameras doesn't make him a good person. Floyd is good at manipulating people, the man is a woman beater and a scumbag.

The goal of this for Conor is to rile up the opposition so they let the emotions get to them in the ring, Floyd isn't fazed and Nate wasn't fazed so technically Conor has 'won' nothing.

I honestly couldn't understand what senior was saying. I thought he was saying a pull Conor. Think that's what Bayless was hearing too.

No, he repeated it several times and Bayless flat out said he didn't know what a pull counter is.

Even after saying 'Fcuk the Mayeathers!'......... it's mad that they were in bits laughing (including Floyd) when he then said 'Fcuk Showtime too' :P

Seeing and hearing Senior and Junior is like watching these two

Have they been spotted in the same room together?

Of course everyone on stage is laughing, all the way to.... you know the rest.

Listen to Bayless repeat it,he says pull Conor.

Senior doesn't pronounce the T in counter. Can't believe I'm defending skip Bayless on something

There's so much negativity in this world lately (I suppose there always has been).

I'm absolutely loving this week and the fight itself - win, lose or draw - will be one of the moments in time we will all remember where we were for it.

Call me crazy but continuing in this upside-down world we live in, I could see in Conor's eyes with Ariel that he wants to fight Justin Gaethje next.

Yeah but its a kardashian like spectacle rather than a sporting spectacle. I avoided it to be honest after the handbags at 20 paces staredown. I like the q&a style ufc press conference. That would probably get my attention.

You're now able to mind read Conor :pac:



no need for him to fight now dec 30th because forbes list doesnt go jan to dec as he said, he will bleed the ufc next year to pay him to return.

Simple for Mayweather to own Conor at these WWE style conferences. Pull out contract ask him to sign it which states to him to bet his fight purse on the outcome of the fight.

Hes not that brave. In fact without the drunk crowd his coked up f ing and jeffing sound crass megalomaniac and bitter. All his talk would he bet the purse on himself?.

No way!.

And McGregor could do the same and draw a contract up for using 4oz gloves and watch him **** himself, ridiculous comments.

Wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to bet even money with Floyd when he could get 6/1 on himself with the bookies.

No the fight is set up no changes to the fight whatsoever except Floyds suggestion to bet the pay cheques on the outcome. Id like to see Conor face that proposition. For a start make the fight interesting, instead of the foreplay sparring session it will be. Put the purse on the line would at least make them "want it" and make it somewhat real these two putting on a show for a glorifed sparring session currently.

I'm of the opinion this is a complete money grab but I would personally bet my life McGregor is going in there to try and take his head off he doesnt need incentive hes a wise man he'll collect his 100m payday regardless,


Floyd however I think could do with some incentive to destruct him.

Well, it was just when Ariel asked him who his next opponent would be for December 30th and he said "it's chopping and changing, who is actually fighting because all I see are people yapping". He stopped shorted of naming Gaethje and this might be a stretch but I'm thinking he quite fancies fighting him.

To be fair, people are moaning about Conor holding up the division but Ferguson and Khabib have done sweet F all this year either.

At least Kevin Lee and Justin Gaethje are making a name for themselves.

His next fight will be McGregor vs Nate III either @ MSG in Nov or on the New Year's Eve Eve Vegas card.

As I've said before I refuse to believe they will allow Nate near a title shot disaster as champion they wont risk it imo.

He'd walk through Nate at 155, zero risk.... and it would sell the most PPVs also compared to fighting anyone else for the belt.

I honestly can't see Nate 3 until 2018/2019 even.

Dana is no dummy. Yes the triology would be the biggest fight the UFC could put on but is it tangibly different to Conor v Anyone else?

Not really. Even if we accept Meltzer's numbers, we're looking at 1.6m PPV buys versus 1.3m buys when we compare Diaz and Alvarez.

Given Conor's profile will be through the roof either way, Dana isn't going to end up paying Nate 10 or 15 million to fight Conor when he could get a Gaethje or Ferguson in for 2 to 3 million and the PPV buys will still be great.

Dana is not letting Nate Diaz be the 155lb champion end of discussion. It's hard enough to get either of Diaz bros to fight now, if one of them is the champion it'll be a sh1tshow again with belts being stripped.

No, they'll save the Diaz trilogy for whenever Conor loses next imo.

Outlaw Pete

We'll see I guess, but I still believe next fight (assuming he doesn't do the impossible on Aug 27th of course) will be Diaz III ..... sure he wouldn't be what they'd want, but he ain't gonna beat McGregor at that weight, no chance.

I also see a Dublin fight next year, maybe Croker, but if not a fight there.... somewhere in Dublin for sure.

Anyway, off the bed.......... leave any of you all with Floyd saying he thinks that he came out on top tonight :P

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KUjwJQXzYw

And yeah, yeah... we know winning pressers doesn't technically mean anyone won anything... but sure we might as well enjoy the ride while it's lasts. It's fecking surreal, really don't understand anyone that's all het up about the whole thing happening. Yeah, it's a money fight... who cares. Both fighters want to win, will be putting in the work and taking it seriously.... and that's all that really matters.

Difference is, there's nothing to stop him putting his purse up legally. However, no matter what Floyd signs, NSAC would never allow the fight to go ahead with 4oz or 8oz gloves. Floyd used the old rope-a-dope.

I'm hoping that schoolbag has a purse-gambling contract in it soon.
