The people putting money on McGregor could have just spent that on Powerball tickets. 

They'd have better odds of winning Powerball as well.

It's shocking to me how many people I've heard of who are planning on watching this tonight who couldn't name one boxer or MMA fighter previously. They sure have sold this thing well.

Same. Everywhere I've gone today and I personally know of a few people who don't watch boxing who are ordering this tonight. 

[Elsalvajeloco]

Apparently, UFC Fight Pass/UFC.tv and the cable companies can't handle the volume of orders and a lot of people aren't able to see the PPV right now.

[Niners Fan in CT]

Jack the ripper tore through Cleverly. 

[Elsalvajeloco]

I wonder if Badou Jack will fight Marcus Browne. If Beterbiev can get his shit together, that would another logical step considering he holds one of the lower tier WBA belts.

Is the Adonis thing a real possibility.

Adonis still has a mandatory with Eleider Alvarez. That is also a much, much bigger fight in Quebec considering that's also Alvarez's adopted home.

Just like Mayweather-PacMan the main event is being delayed so the cable companies can process all the late orders.

[Niners Fan in CT]

Tank is looking.... odd.  I don't know what he's doing. Not a tremendous performance so far. 

[sabremike]

The irony tonight is that the main event of the "real" boxing show on HBO might be a bigger mismatch than Floyd-Conor. Coto is basically kicking the ever living crap out of some Japanese dude who looks totally out of his depth.

[Niners Fan in CT]

What was that?  Why is Fonseca looking for a DQ win?  He may have been leading on the cards 

[Elsalvajeloco]

I have no idea. He wasn't going to get a DQ on that.

Anyway, the main event is going to be delayed due to the outages. Could be long as half an hour.

Just to be clear, the people of earth are about to pay a 40 year old boxer hundreds of millions of dollars to have an exhibition boxing match against someone who's not a boxer, right?

 

[Dolfan in NYC]

That depends on what your definition of 'boxing match' is. 

[Elsalvajeloco]

Well Conor got at least one round. 

[Dolfan in NYC]

 

[Elsalvajeloco]

Floyd dropping the first two rounds. He should get going.

[piranesi]

Gassed already. Damn, Conor.

[Elsalvajeloco]

3-0 Conor?

[Jiji]

Hammer fists and getting gassed in 3 rounds. Other than that, GOING GOOD SO FAR. 

[Death From Above]

I mean, even if it ends now, Conor's probably done at least as much as the ghost of Manny did. So I give him credit.

[hammerva]

He is clearly winning the fight but he is dangerously close to getting disqualified whether he means it or not

Mayweather doesn't have a clue how to handle someone with such an odd boxing style.  Plus he is almost a statue which is a terrible idea
