I hope I am not the only one lining their pockets to watch what should be a turd of a fight.

Anyone else?

I work at a bar/restaurant, it will be on all our TVs tonight

I kinda wonder how busy we'll get though because I think we're charging too high of a cover charge to get in, and a lot of our usual clientele doesn't come here for that kind of thing to begin with

It's going to be garbage. Mayweather's going to take it EZPZ, but it's not even going to be fun to watch because it's a Mayweather fight.

Not sure if I'll watch or not yet. I have a horrible feeling it'll just be Mcgregor getting embarrassed for 7-8 rounds. Which isn't much fun if you appreciate his UFC stuff.

Places by me are charging $40 a head, which is fucking obscene

does this mean you're betting on mayweather? i heavily favor him but in an "anything can happen" scenario - likely to have some scripted elements - i am not lying money at 4.5:1

no way i'm paying. i was considering going to a view party, but i don't really want to be seen in public supporting the fight, and more importantly, i just don't feel up for the trip tonight

Talked to my buddy at the bar around the corner. They're being charged $1100 for the fight, which is why none of the smaller places are carrying it.

This whole thing feels so dirty.

What do they normally get charged for, say, an average UFC PPV?

I know bars get charged a lot to show PPVs in general, and the penalty if you get caught just ordering it normally and showing it at the bar is BIG.

From an article about it on Bloody Elbow

In the past two years, distributors and sponsors of these events have filed nearly three dozen federal lawsuits in Minnesota against taverns, restaurants and their owners, seeking damages in excess of $140,000 a pop.

While it costs about $50 to order a UFC event on pay-per-view in a private residence, it costs bars, restaurants and other commercial establishments $750 to $1,500, depending on their size.


EDIT: Oh shit, UFC pays people a BOUNTY for catching a place showing the PPV without permission. Scary! I'm sure boxing people do that too then.

Not a bad way to make some extra cash if you know some places though <_<

so whats up with that ref giving a speech about wanting a clean fight and staring at mcgregor the entire time

like he's not looking at mayweaver whatsoever. not looking between them, talking to both. he's just talking directly at mcgregor.

wtf

Sounds like Floyd just let him wear himself out and then methodically beat on him until they stopped the fight.

No lucky KO, no decision, no cause for rematch, just domination

pretty much, yeah.
TKO officially, McGregor's chin is just too good to not let him fall down even when he's effectively been out on his feet 2-3 punches ago. all you really need to see is the 9th and 10th round to know just how that fight ended up as.
