Mayweather - McGregor

Where are you watching the fight?  I'm at Romaines, and the place has reached capacity and the doors are locked. 

My fellow boxing fans are aghast at the hoopla over Mayweather-McGregor, calling it a farce, an exhibition, and a circus. It is, but they are missing the point. The world is watching. They are watching BOXING. Floyd is once again bringing the sport to the masses. The correct thing to say is "Thank you sir. 

And yes, I think Mayweather will win. With luck, I hope he wins big enough to humiliate MMA and prove it a junk "sport." Maybe then MMA fans will realize that if they want to watch sweaty men in underwear roll around on top of each other, they should do it quietly on the web like the rest of us.

"Mayweather by TKO! 50-0 baby!

Floyd's camp said he planned to stop him in the ninth. They were off a round, but the plan was perfect: let him wear himself out early, then go hunting after the fifth.

I  think he played with him and gave the crowd a show until he got down to business. He didn't spar the last month, allegedly due to injury, but that's unheard of in boxing. It shows a lack of concern to say the least.

It was a fun fight to watch, all in all.
