This is going to be an insanely fun and entertaining fight no matter what the outcome. When two huge egos clash something very fuckin funny is bound to happen and we all win.

Actually a pretty interesting bit of insight

Thanks for posting those - Definitely interesting to see an opinion from someone who has already faced Floyd.

Christ this is boring. How did they think this was a good idea? Just let McGregor talk poo poo and the fight will sell itself.

Dana is more over than most fighters lol

Conor's promo kind of sucks and Floyd looks bored

He did just say they didn't tell him he'd be giving a speech so it was pretty good for no preparation

"Yeah, we gonna get off in that rear end"

I think Cody has a long way to go with his erotic threats to beat the champ

Who knew that even though boxing fans like to act like their sport is less of a circus and more respectable than MMA it would still come off looking infinitely more retarded even in press conference form somehow

HARD WORK

I thought the "Look at the pinstripes, they say gently caress you" thing was a joke - somehow it's much funnier knowing it's real. What a shitshow.

"The shorts are Gucci"

At least after this fight he'll never need to do sponsored Instagram posts again

But he will anyway because the only thing better than having a shitload of money is having all the money

I don't think that was a sponsored post, he just thinks it's cool that he can afford Gucci boxing shorts

I'm just so used to everything a celebrity posts on instagram now being sponsored in one way or another that I just assume they all are

I mean, Floyd is probably gonna school Conor. But...

What if he doesn't?

I'd rather live in the world where Conor somehow manages to pull it off. That world is really fuckin' funny.

Why does his camp let him do this goofy poo poo in public?

There's a segment of people that will buy ppv's based on the fact they're dumb enough to believe Conor might try to kick his head off during a boxing match and goofy poo poo like that feeds into it

Then again he may get his brain rattled by punches and forget not to kick Floyd in the head while on autopilot so there's that

My feeling is it's pretty much just a curiosity and the "press tour" only served to expose it as the stunt it is. All fine and good, but none of the boxing/mma fans I personally know are dropping $100 to find out "lol what would happen if..."

Seriously, is anyone here gonna buy this?

It's a spectacle that everyone that I know that watches fights is super into - so definitely going to watch it with a bunch of them. It's gonna be a great time regardless of how stupid it ends up. The hype for it is crazy and that means the atmosphere is going to be really fun to be a part of.

Boxing footwork, in general, is much more intensive than MMA footwork. Especially for the non professional boxer who likes to stand in a wide legged karate stance trying to hit the least hittable boxer on planet earth.

As an athlete who ruled his sport for years and has tons of money not only does he have fans but he's also someone many young people aspire to be like. I mean, Michael Jordan is a terrible person too and look at his legacy.

Often times people don't give a poo poo about the personality behind the athlete because hey look how good they are at something. But you knew that already.
