Read the instructions. It won’t stream live until he gets 130k suckers.

Right, good luck with that. Youtube will shut that down in an instant if it was to go live, you are being had. There are streams out there, but not on corporate youtube.

The first round was an absolute clinic on boxing. I have rarely seen a match where two fighters trade hits like that. IIRC, Tommy had him dead to rights in a later round, and Hagler somehow came back to life. First round is mayhem — best I’ve seen!

The big money is in a three match series, and the only way we get there is if Mcgregor wins tonight.

If he wins, it’s compelling evidence that this is staged.

A few disappointed fans on twitter who paid for live feed through Verizon Fios or Amazon and it’s crashed. There was a free live feed link posted for YouTube but I didn’t click on it.

It’s a mismatch of two different skill sets but measured by boxing skills. McGregor won’t handle the speed. The fight will last as long as Mayweather wants it to. I respect the guy who bet a million on Mayweather, in a few hours he’ll be almost $200k wealthier while taking on no risk.

If Mayweather was a bigger man he would have fought an mma fight and made it interesting.

Who places bets that size on a fight that isn’t fixed?

The people who know boxing know that Mayweather will win a boxing match with a non-pro boxer. Rubes have been heavily betting McGregor because of the payout, but it has driven down the odds, so the smart money waited late to get the best return. Still have to bet a lot to win a little putting it on Mayweather.

I said it is a likely scam. Just is interesting on how it will collapse.

This reminds me of the first ridiculous Mike Tyson fight with some pathetic ham and egger, we had to pay $75 on Pay Per View to watch it. We sat through two “pre-fights” and had to wait until 10:30 pm for the main event. The Tyson fight maybe lasted 90 seconds, the referee called the fight for Tyson. My husband was really mad LOL. But shortly thereafter, when the next big Tyson fight was announced (the one with the infamous ear-biting incident), we were suckers again and paid $75 to watch a very short fight. LMAO, my dad (RIP) was a HUGE boxing fan, he was just happy to watch any boxing for any amount of time. :0) Good times.

Spot on this is nothing more than Hulk Hogan vs Roddy Piper.

He also won’t have to worry about not knowing where the hits are coming from.

He does not have a boxing ring man in his corner.
