Any idea what it would cost me to get the fight? Is it ridiculous money?

On tv? 25 euro I think but there'll be a fair few late night venues showing it, probably the usual spots in Dublin anyway.

To go in person? No idea. Flights & hotel + $2,500 for a ticket, so maybe a little over 4 grand?

I saw it. Its so bad its not even funny the way some bad waxworks are.

Its actually an embarrassment for anyone connected to it.

EDIT: Found a pic.



The waxwork is the one in front btw.

Jaysus that's bad. Looks more like Gunni Nelson with a bad toupe and a cheap Penny's suit

Odds on either fighter by KO/TKO have come in but overall Floyd has drifted in the Market. You can now get him to win at 1/4 :eek:

He was already 1/4 before today

I think I wanna' change my 6th rd KO/TKO victory for Floyd...

His bezzie, Biebs is saying it's unlikely that Floyd gets the KO...

Although Floyd is on record saying that Conor going the distance would be a victory for him...

Are you serious? If you follow boxing as closely as you let on, surely you know to disregard everything Floyd and his camp says in the build up to a fight.

Past performance shows he is one of the GOATs, it also shows he is full of sh!te...

Fair play to him re the racism stuff. Very strong condemnation of Floyd for bringing race into it.

When was the last time McGregor did any Irish media, bar his own MacLife?

Does anyone else find this a bit odd, I find it hard to believe that it's the media that don't want to interview him as he was on The Late Late twice, Off the Ball, and morning TV too.

Outlaw Pete

Well, clowns like Joe Duffy suggesting he wasn't all that bothered about João Carvalho dying has a fair bit to do with it I'd say.

They seem to get on with Tubridy though, so I'd expect to see him on there than anywhere else.

Tonight's appearance on Conan is only via satellite.

Outlaw Pete

Uploaded it but it was copyright blocked immediately.

Here's a clip from the official Conan channel on YT anyway.............

Fair enough, hard to tell over forums sometimes The one thing that's not up for debate about this fight is how Floyd runs a disinformation campaign for every fight.

Have they rehashed all that old Floyd stuff from his house on the roller skates? Looks familiar.

Yeah, haven definitely seen much better!

Seems you can watch the entire Conan video here separated into clips...

I've been sucked into the promotion surrounding this fight since it began and I'm a big Conor fan. I did think initially that Conor could cause an upset - part of that was down to him needing to get into Floyds head, which I don't think he has managed to do - but after reading through so much back and forth on here about how he could do it/ how he has no hope whatsoever, I took the time to look back over Mayweather's fights.

He has an amazing chin and even when he has been rocked by the likes of Mosley he comes out in the next round and has his opponent figured out. The second shot Mosley landed right after the one that had Floyd holding his arm just to stay upright shook Floyd down to his ankles, but he stayed on his feet.

I see it ending up going along the lines of the Canelo fight with Floyd just landing at will and the ref stopping it around the 7th. When I put the blinkers back on I see Conor having a slim chance and that's enough to make me buy the ppv.

I love when Conor is relaxed and laughing like that. His last appearance on Conan he was a bit uptight and nervous but this was a great little interview, hit all the right notes.

I think you may need to re-watch the Canelo fight then. There was no landing at will. And many of the landed shots were of the grazing/swiping variety.

If Conor is 25 percent as competitive as Canelo he'll be doing great.

Canelo is a fantastic boxer.

Conor is not a boxer.

I'm not saying Canelo isn't a great boxer or comparing him to Conor. From about round 7 Floyd was landing shots and frustrating Canelo so in my opinion Floyd was teeing off on him in those later rounds.

I also think that Canelo would beat the socks off of Conor. I don't see Conor being as competitive as Canelo by any stretch

Vue Cinema showing the fight.

Preferentially, I'd like to watch it like that...... but only with the cinema to myself and a few friends.

Could get a bunch of arsehats at it and Vue serve alcohol too, so could be messy.

Also, spending that amount of time in a seat wouldn't feel too good and if you only turned up for the main event, I'd imagine all the best would be gone.

Tickets €20 anyway (Screen 4 and Screen 7). Recliner/VIP Seats seem to be extra €2.

xtal191

Guaranteed to be dickheads at those screenings, rather pay the extra fiver and watch it at home.

walshb

I think you'd be off your head risking going to a cinema to watch this....

Nice option for people all the same.

Whelo79

I'd rather pay €100 and watch it alone than risk paying €20 and suffering through the inevitable few morons that will attend that.

It's a fantastic idea if you could be guaranteed a decent well behaved crowd however.

Outlaw Pete

Sure you get the risk of dickheads at everything. You could even pay for flights, hotels and go to the fight, but end up beside some loud mouth morons.

The immersive aspect of it is what makes it tempting. Huge screen, darkness, volume and you're guaranteed a great view.

The screenings of Stop Making Sense in the Lighthouse are always class like that.

A few of us are considering the VIP seats option, don't think we'd go otherwise, too long a time to sitting squashed up.

At the risk of being accused of stereotyping, For some reason I feel that the crowd attending a big screen Talking Heads show may differ slightly to that attending a Conor Mcgregor fight in a number or key ways: temperament, respect for their fellow viewers, and willingness to throw digs with minimal provocation

Risk (of idiocy, annoyingness of fellow viewers, and even the odd bit of drunken violence) outweighs the reward in this case for me!

Agree with everything there. I've been to the lighthouse cinema for that Talking Heads screening and it's a great night. It would be a much different crowd at a fight screening.

I did go to a quite a few UFC events in the cinema when I lived in the States, and it was absolutely epic. Such a great way to watch fights. Buuuuuut.... They were on at 7pm in San Diego. Can't imagine what guys would be like at that hour over here.
