I wish there was a way to watch the Showtime broadcast instead of having to listen to the numpties on sky.

Watching it now on sky. The place is empty! There's no atmosphere. Surely they're not all at the bar.

Had heard nobody wanted the tickets. For some reason folks thought it was a daft matchup. Credit that opinion. What would they know. Obviously this is Goliath vs Hercules, with Hercules throwing lucky shamrocks

Sorry if posted already. What a man Eubank is, seriously wise man.

Excellent interview. Hope he stays retired though.

Same for the preliminary fights at pretty much every boxing and MMA event.

People stay out until the main card and drink in the bars around the area to save a few quid a pint before heading in.

Well they said on sky at the start that a ring-side seat cost $10,000 each, so if you have that kind of money I'm sure you can afford the cost of booze in the venue.

Yeah but if you're only there because you want to be seen there and you don't actually give a feck about combat sports, you'll stay in the VIP lounge eating canapes and downing free champagne until the main card starts rather than being bored in a seat.

Jasus this is boring ****e to watch

So lets get the flavour of the event. There is nobody in the arena. The matchup is daft. And tragically, we the sad folk, are the ones waiting for something that will end up as a misnomer, And as Talking Heads would say this 'Once in a LifeTime' event is going to end up as Kate Bush would say a Moment of Pleasure. Of course it will be a moment of hurt for the other dude, seemingly called McGregor

I hear the lads in the Literature forum are a bunch of night owls. Why don't you fvck off over there to regale them all with your tiresome opinion about the latest bestselling novel that you couldn't care less about but have been reading religiously since you went out and purchased it?

For anyone not bothered with the undercard, big VLOG just dropped from Roddy will kill 20 mins:

This current fight is pretty poor. Would see a better effort in almost any chipper around now

What time is the fight on lads?

Folks, there's an Event thread for the fight, no point posting in two threads:

Wonder I am curious of your opinion on something.

You have said talk of anything being fixed is rubbish. Do you think if Conor manages to knock floyd to the mat that the 10 count might actually be close to a 60 count?

Hastentoadd

The only chance McGregor has is if he burrows in in the first seconds and lands a creamer. He has no chance if the fight goes on

Few lads who were banned from boards started another board where they post anonymously. They started "doxing" people they didn't like posting their personal details, social media pages, names, etc.

The ring leader was then in turn brutally doxed by a third party, and not just "this is his name" they went deep in the poor fecker, like forensically dove into his life and personal details and posted it all.

He then posted a wah wah poor me I'm going to report you to the guards post and deleted his account.

It was hilarious.

I had no idea who any of these people were before a few months ago but someone posted about it in after hours and I killed a few minutes reading the stuff on the other board.

Can someone explain why I am not nervous for this - im normally bricking it - Am I subconsciously predicting a loss

I think I am the same, I remember for the Diaz/Aldo/Mendez/Alvarez I was absolutely bricking it. For this one I am struggling to stay awake and I feel like I just know he is going to lose.

Allows mor stability in the wrist and protecting for the small bones in the hand, allows you to throw harder.

I reckon he's going for the KO if he's going that deep in the wraps.

Would it not be more like strapping pillows to your knuckles?

Yeah I know, and Floyds hands are in bits. They need the protection. But **** me thats the biggest I've ever seen them on him. They were way smaller vs Manny.

I'm the same but for me it's because I'm rooting for Conor in hope rather than any real expectations.

I reckon the nerves will hit when the ring walks start though for me anyways!!!
