Mirror reporting that a date has been set for the Mayweather and McGregor fight...?

imagine all the hype and all the publicity...

only for the fight to last 4 seconds, just like the aldo fight , Mayweather walking right on to the first punch thrown!

I'm taking it , that McGregor will be allowed to wear 4oz MMA gloves?

It is never going to happen. The Mirror reported this days ago, I seen it on FB from one of my Canadian mates and told him that they chat wham and aren't to be trusted.

I mentioned it in here on the very rare chance that The Mirror wasn't lying.

He can wear knuckle dusters and the bog eyed Murphy still won't land one on Floyd in a proper sport
 
Good weekends action ahead.

Michael Conlans debut in msg tonight, looking forward to it, hope he goes well and hope, unlike Paddy Barnes he gets an actual boxer for a debut opponent.

Then a great card tomorrow, with Gonzalez, prob my favourite fighter at the minute to watch on the same bill as GGG Jacobs.

Obviously fancy GGG but this should present him with his sternest test to date, Jacobs is decent and seems to be getting better and better, plus he's a proper fully fledged MW, unlike his last opponent.
 

Conlan seemed to be calling out Frampton already last night. Needs to find a little more class and respect before he'd be fit to tie Carl's gloves. Decent debut from him all the same and think he will do better than his brother Jamie who is grossly overrated.

Very, very suspect betting pattern on that Conlan fight yesterday. A LOT of money went on him to win by 3rd round TKO, which is what happened. He's also sponsored by MTK which is very suspect.


Can't wait for the main man Gennady later.

It's an odd one.

I mean, if someone takes a dive it's clearly wrong. But what if Conlan genuinely thinks his best chance to win is in the third and tells his mates to lump on? Bellew spent the whole of the Haye build up telling everyone he'd just be hanging in there until the 6th onwards. Is that insider trading?

I think the obvious issue here is the suspicion that he didn't try to win it in the first two. Which is clearly going against sporting integrity.
