No way it happens in MSG due to the tax situation/Floyd's history in Vegas. Mayweather Promotions also has a hold on August 26th at MGM Grand Garden Arena :tinfoil: Somehow doubt that's it too though, a fight this "big" has to be at T-Mobile arena.

And that guy was giving him a compliment too!

Anyways it saddens me-as one of the 5 (I think) regular posters in the boxing thread that this thread already has 2 pages but I can't lie that I'm a buyer of this fight even if it's not really anywhere near official as of yet. August 26th though would make sense for the reasons that Kevin Iole noted in that story that JaySB linked. Just sucks that he had to gently caress with the biggest boxing fight a in a while to do so because-if it happens on August 26th it will for sure take some of the air out of Canelo-GGG.

The only active boxers near welterweight I would even consider saying have a chance to beat Mayweather are Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. who have dominant wins over top 5 fighters at 140 and 147 as well as being generational talents. Just lol at anyone entertaining the idea of a 0-0 MMA fighter even coming close. The press conferences and talking heads segments alone will be worth the price of a ringside seat at T-Mobile Arena in terms of trainwreck entertainment value though.

Mayweather has undergone USADA testing before; most notably leading to "IV-Gate" when Mayweather was revealed to have used an IV banned by WADA but not USADA before the Pacquiao fight

I hope Adelaide "Canelo won six rounds against Mayweather" Byrd ends up judging this fight, she's what this match deserves.

That was actually CJ Ross who also scored Pac-bradley 1 for you (I mean Tim bradley). She retired from judging after the Canelo fight.

Goddamnit Ninth your take was so hot my phone melted. I'll accept 750 cash or a 100 bet slip on Conor from the Westgate.

Floyd is whoever Gabriel Rosado played in Creed and Conor is the "Happy Birthday Paulie" robot from Rocky 4.

i read somewhere floyd was worried conor would do something crazy and get disqualified so they wrote something into the contract that severely punishes him if that happens

Unless the punishment is he loses his entire purse than the possibility can't be totally discounted.

Neither I nor anyone else actually watches boxing, but did Jeremy Horn actually win or was it just a bad decision?

It was pretty surprising when Joe Horn used the Camel Clutch on Pacquiao but that's combat sports for you.

Who was the celebrity boxer that faked a heart attack and then sucker punched a win by TKO? Conor should watch that and learn something.

Mickey Rourke and it owned hard.
