Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

That doesn't disagree with anything I said thoughThe Reservoir Dubs Anchorman wrote: »[
Mayweather won 2 & 3 on two judges cards .. ie if the cards had counted he won rounds 2&3.
Saying "the judges didn't think" he won 2 and 3 implies they were unanimous. They weren't. One scored then for McGregor. Which undermines the idea that Walshb's scoring is out if whack. That's all I was pointing out.
Rounds 2-4 were really close. Going either way is not totally unreasonable, but I did feel at the time that the judges would take it upon themselves to "discipline" the scorecards for rd 2.0 -

No saying "the judges didn't think" did not imply that it was unanimous. It was a simple and accurate statement. 2 of the 3 judges gave rounds 2 & 3 to Mayweather. So he won both rounds, which is all I was pointing out.
I didn't say the rounds weren't close. Personally I wouldn't disagree with giving McGregor round 2, after that I would disagree with him winning any rounds but again that's just my opinion.0 -

I thought they, and wonderfullife had mentioned something before fight night about already $72m on gate and pushing toward $80m? That they failed to break the gate record would be a bit of an embarrassment for them but only in the sense of all the big talk and bluster about the numbers they were doing pre fight and post fight tbf. Dana saying they were at $70m already a couple of days out from the fight should have been a red flag to people who are well used to his bull**** to be fair
Never got near it.
I'd say if they broke the record with the PPV they would have publicized it now, be interesting to see the final figure I suppose. They were projecting mid 4 million with a shot at breaking the record, probably be a while before they are firm on a final figure."People say ‘go with the flow’ but do you know what goes with the flow? Dead fish."

I guess we just have a different definition of accurate. As I said above, as I said above, correctness is not the same as accuracy. You said yourself it's not a clear statement - to me, if it's unclear, or obstructing something then its not accurate.The Reservoir Dubs Anchorman wrote: »If you want to get pedantic about it I can go that route. The statement from spectator two is accurate.
By saying the judges and going on your basis that it implies the judges collectively, with Mayweather ahead on two judges scorecards, the statement is accurate. The statement is also correct.
While it could be said the statement is not absolutely clear, it is both accurate and correct.
Put it this way, if somebody didn't know the scores and were told "the judges only scored round 1 for McGregor" - what would they assume?
It terms of aggregate scorecards, sure it's "correct", but accurate? Not imo.
Regardless, I'm not trying to be pedantic over the definition of a word. We both know what the scores were, and more importantly we watched the rounds.
I was just pointing out that one judges did in fact score 1-3 for McGregor, so using the 2 out of 3 official judges as stick to beat down somebody scoring the first 3 for McGregor is a flawed concept as best.
it took about 10 days for the MayPac record to be announced. It was initially announced as 4.4m, but months later the official number hit 4.6mStringerBell wrote: »I thought they, and wonderfullife had mentioned something before fight night about already $72m on gate and pushing toward $80m?

I'd assume they are letting it pick up the stragglers before going public. I'd guess mid 4's is about right I'd guess.0 -
