So hype for the Mayweather McGregor fight is heating up...



It's not something I'd buy. I don't think he'll do it. IMO it's just to keep himself relevant.

I think he'd do it because he'd win and make a ton of money.

He may win and make a lot of money. I wonder how much he cares about his legacy? This fight would make him something kin to a circus act.

How do you feel about Ali fighting Antonio Inoki? Ali was a active champion. I thought the fight was a farce.

IIRC Ali was paid 6 million for the fight.

Just watched that Francisco Vargas fight again. Muira then Salido and now this young hungry kid who has 27 KO's. That's just too much. Feel free to mix in a tune up or two. Danny Garcia did it the right way before fighting Thurman.

Vargas gotta take some time off. His cuts will probably never heal. Dude sneezes and he's busted open.


dough...130 reminds me of 126 in the early 2000's (Manny, Morales, Barrera, JMM). Would love to see all of the current 130 lb'ers get in the ring against one another, like the 4 horsemen mentioned. That'd be awesome and a good lift up for boxing. Lomachenko is just too good for any of them, so I could see him going up to fight somebody at 135, especially if a Mikey fight is really on the cards.


No one wants to see Loma right now. Dude wins rounds just off footwork. He'll scoop up a few straps then move up.

It's good business. It has the interest of a lot of people and some would be crazy enough to buy it. I'll catch it for free online and throw that seventy ones in my gas tank and pick up some bread and cereal.

Some don't learn. Floyd hasn't had a meaningful fight since Canelo. The first fight with Maidana was watchable but if you want my advice, save ya money if it goes down.

Yup. Although, I'd love to see a rematch with Salido, just so he can avenge the only L he's taken so far.

I thought I had set the PBC card to record this past weekend, but completely missed it. For those that were in the same situation as me, here are the fights:

Easter Jr. vs. Cruz


Warren vs. Zhakiyanov

You have to be kidding me. Roy Jones was done on March 2, 2003, the day after beating John Ruiz.

Anybody think fight will come to fruition? I don't

Floyd Mayweather still big betting favorite over Conor McGregor, but it’s getting closer

I'm finally coming around to watching the actual card. Marcus Browne looked nice especially with that jab but he was fighting Top Dog Williams who seems done.

Can't wait to see the Thurman Garcia weigh in.

Broner clearly has no power at 147.

Fight could have gone to either or but dude has a serious problem, no pun intended. No power at 47 and struggle to make weight at 40

He claims he broke his hand in the beginning of the fight so he couldn't really use his jab

I didn't see the fight, just the highlights, so I can't say

It did seem like his hand was hurt at the end of the fight, cuz you could see him grimace when they were taking off his glove. I agree with doubh, though...Broner has no power at 147 (at least not enough to really hurt bigger fighters at the weight).

As for the fight itself, it could've gone either way for sure. If anything, I think the fight did much more for Granados than it did for Broner. Hopefully, Granados gets some bigger money fights. I think he could be competitive with other fringe guys at 140 or 147.

Uncle Bob is pushing for that Horn fight so hard, but hopefully the people trying to get the fight in the UAE will legitimately come up with the money to get the Khan fight to happen.
