He got to round 10 with one of the the best in the business. Conor got his payday and no controversy.

He was allowed to get to round 10. Mayweather toyed with him and could've finished him anytime he wanted past round 2 after McGregor punched himself out like an idiot.

Ahh cop on I'd love to be an idiot that earned .myself 60 million like that.

Pointless even talking about his performance since every counterpoint will be "Hurr hurr, he got money tho."

Well he did and ayone that followed it knew that's what it was all about. It was never about mayweather stamping his authority as best boxer ever that's already done... It was never about McGregor beating mayweather because that was never gonna happen so if you wanna hur but about it off you go but it was always down to the two of them making money and selling a show and they both did that better then anyone before......

So should the next one be Woodward vrs McGregor to see who's the best at making money?

Sorry to sound boxing snobbish, but he was allowed get to round 10 by a 40 year old, 2 years retired, happy to pot shot and smile Mayweather. Floyd didn't break sweat, Conor landed nothing that bothered him at all, the power is a myth, or didn't translate I don't care which you want to say cause he had zero boxing power. His technique was awful, slaps.

Mayweather didn't bother trying to throw anything till round 3, he knew he was never in danger, showboating, picked up the pace around 6 and just looked like a guy who was out to do a few rounds sparring, **** he would have got tougher contests in his spars for this circus act!

I am sorry, just not looking forward to my day of listening to people make a case for "ah he did well to get that far" or the morale victory brigade as if Mayweather is the best boxer on the planet right now and McGregor did well to go a few rounds with him.

Couldn't be further from the truth, I will say this for Conor, them legs just keep wheeling backwards when he is ****ed Course he would be finished quick by someone with intent and his cardio is shocking for a top athlete but he isn't simple to put away, will stand to him in the MMA world, where he needs to return to and stay or he will get seriously hurt by someone who punches with spite.

His fee was 30mil, disclosed. Why do you think it will double on the back end? I don't know whether it will or not, just wondering if you have something stating it?

When you add in the commercial side, they reckon he could earn close to 100 million from the fight.

He gets a slice of PPV revenue as well as marketing / merch.

Is there anything to be said for another Welbeck or Rooney debate at this stage?

Yes, I know how money is made off the back end. It's the figure I queried and the workings, including how much the UFC are taking etc

I have seen people claim he us making 40 million, I have seen a guy claim he is making 150million!

I just asked jayo whey he thinks 60, that's all.

Mourinho not for the first time and not the first person to do it either having a dig at the home fans. Have to agree 100%. For the biggest club stadium in england we have the quietest fans.

Fans who were having PTSD flashbacks to last years countless home draws, and 4 years of 0-0s where we dominated posession. They'll come good if the performances stay consistent.

I hate seeing the "tourist fans" who spend the whole game enthralled in silence while constantly taking pictures. It's not hard to make some noise.

Same with gigs. Many people watch through their phone. They might as well be watching the tv.

They have been quiet for years even when we were winning everything under fergie

United isn't a small town/regional club where the entire fanbase was born in the shadow of the stadium. It's a global club, and "tourist fans" who may never been to the UK before let alone the stadium pay the bills to bring in the likes of Pogba, Lukaku, Martial and so on. F.C. United demonstrates that trade-off is not everyone's cup of tea, but it is what it is. Mourinho has little enough to be complaining about if he has time to worry about how loud the fans are.

Even Ferguson had a moan about it.Some of the 'smaller clubs' put the big ones to shame in terms of atmosphere. Even Liverpool's "famous atmosphere" isn't what it was,many times the place is like a library.

After 3 weeks, we're now the only team with 100%

What are people's thoughts on further transfers before the deadline? I wouldn't be surprised to see something.

Muller has publicly complained about not being needed at Munich after being dropped yesterday.

Would anyone want him here now or has his stock fallen dramatically?

He'd play a very similar role to Mata but would be capable of getting more goals. Be a good signing but someone with pace and a final ball would be needed more on the right considering how many attacks end in useless crosses from that side.

They really have been abysmal. I'd say this game has been the easiest game of the season for Liverpool.

I would love if Utd gave Sanchez a way out of Arsenal as unlikely as it would be.

Can't see Wenger surviving for too much longer.

Mitch Connor

Should put in a huge offer for Sanchez. Take the Griezmann money and offer it to arsenal for him.

Would 70m do it.

God arsenal are a shambles

I hope that Shaw and Darmian are back fit and in contention for the game at Anfield in mid-October. Mo Salah will potentially tear Daley Blind's soul from his body, Mahrez almost did it at one stage yesterday.

No idea what it would take. I know people may point to his contract t running down to reduce his value but I'd have no issue paying Lukaku money or more for him regardless.

Do you ever have anything positive to say?? I might be wrong and apologise if I am but I never see anything but negatives from you. We're doing well thus far three wins three clean sheets huge possession stats (which stops Liverpool's threat)
And what makes anyone think Shaw or darmian would do better,both have been ripped apart in games too

J. Marston

Agree with bidding for Sanchez. The very least it will do is upset them.

Hococop

Now we bid for Sanchez

Jesus Christ Brinty, you really have the wrong person.. I mean completely wrong person

wanderer100

Perfect time now to have a go at bringing Sanchez. It'll most certainly cause a ****storm over at Arsenal but the least we could do is throw in a bid of 70m

brinty

Christ arsenal playing as a team that could care less
Wenger on a very tight rope
7 goals in three games
Defensive system that's not working
Players who don't want to be there
Can't get players in
I think they finish seventh if they don't change something soon
