Tonight we are all Money Team. -- nm - MDH Aug 26, 22:27 10

- No, we're not. -- nm - IrishStephen Aug 26, 22:31 8
  - I mean he's an awful person and I actively cheer against him. But when the alternative is McGregor... -- nm - MDH Aug 26, 22:44 7
    - You hope the stadium collapses? -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 23:02 2
      - Simultaneous low blow knockout. -- nm - David Aug 26, 23:13
      - Oh I mean that was the first hope without question. -- nm - MDH Aug 26, 23:12
    - Here let me finish that for you....you choose McGregor -- nm - J Aug 26, 22:46 3
      - Yes. -- nm - IrishStephen Aug 26, 23:42
      - Yeah , after seeing what his supporters are about, hard no. -- nm - MDH Aug 26, 22:48 1
        
        Why do you hate the Irish? - IrishStephen Aug 26, 23:43
The final moments (vid) -- (link) - budice Aug 26, 22:22 7
- what we were all thinking... -- (link) - Flavorize Aug 26, 22:29 6

  - Do MMA refs call fights when they're still on their feet? -- nm - Max Aug 26, 22:31 4

    - i'm pretty sure they can, yes. -- nm - Truman Aug 26, 23:15
    - Conor should have convinced him to have an MMA match then. -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 22:35 1
      - I'm not debating rules, I just think MMA fighters are used to continuing under that kind of punishment. - Max Aug 26, 22:38
You, the reader, have a better boxing record than Connor MacGregor, 0-1. -- nm - David Aug 26, 22:00 1
- He lasted 10 rounds longer than I would have. -- nm - Mop Aug 26, 22:48
"Didn't catch a word of that, sorry." -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 21:53
This is my shocked face -- nm - Bacon Aug 26, 21:52 1
- I'm surprised Conor controlled himself enough not to get DQ'd -- nm - Flavorize Aug 26, 21:53
aw, man, too early -- nm - Max Aug 26, 21:51 10
- That was five punches too late. -- nm - David Aug 26, 21:53 1
  - Yeah--he was thundering away on him. -- nm - Flavorize Aug 26, 21:55
- No way, he was going to get brain damage -- nm - Bacon Aug 26, 21:52 7
  - Going to? -- nm - Qale Aug 26, 21:54
  - normally I'd agree - Max Aug 26, 21:54 5
    - We rewound it, he didn't have his hands up the last five punches at least -- nm - Epiphany Aug 26, 21:56 3
      - Mayweather actually didn't go for it there like he could have. It was almost like... - David Aug 26, 21:57 1
        
        Agreed this was more entertaining than the Paciao fight -- nm - Epiphany Aug 26, 22:00
      - don't care! - Max Aug 26, 21:57
    - MMA fighters can't punch like Floyd Mayweather. - David Aug 26, 21:54
if it goes the full next one it's a miracle. -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 21:50 1
- Money Time, just like he planned it -- nm - budice Aug 26, 21:51
It's over. -- nm - Tim Aug 26, 21:50 1
- was that Newt Gingrich is Conor's corner? -- nm - Flavorize Aug 26, 21:52
Over/under was 9.5 rounds. -- nm - David Aug 26, 21:49 3
- This is the Mayweather I expected in the Pac-Man fight, but he had too much respect for his opponent in that one. -- nm - David Aug 26, 21:51
- Some STer had the over--I think he had bought it at 8.5 though -- nm - Flavorize Aug 26, 21:51 1
  - Bought out of it midway through the week. But tonight a buddy and I took the 6th and the 10th and made some money off that. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 26, 23:02
"Now headbutt his fist till he can't punch no more!" -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 21:47
Mayweather's corner man is wearing a blinging suit--Makes David S Pumpkins look like a chump -- nm - Flavorize Aug 26, 21:43 1
- Prediction: Post fight--Ziplock ice bag massages become the new hotness at spas -- nm - Flavorize Aug 26, 21:47
That was a 10-8 round. -- nm - David Aug 26, 21:42
Rocky movie fights somehow feel like they're longer than this is pacing. -- nm - Max Aug 26, 21:42
Conner is gassing out. It's over -- nm - Bacon Aug 26, 21:41
wonder if there was a prop bet on someone bringing out a bowl of lucky charms after they win. -- nm - Truman Aug 26, 21:40
Wait, it's literally called "The Money Fight"? - Reagen Aug 26, 21:39 1
- An On the Nose, Inc. production. -- nm - David Aug 26, 21:40
Mayweather must be lying about his height because there's no way McGregor is only an inch taller. -- nm - Max Aug 26, 21:37 3
- yeah--that reach is probably the main thing keeping McGregor in this. -- nm - Flavorize Aug 26, 21:38 2
  - He is taking full on punches to the face -- nm - Epiphany Aug 26, 21:43 1
    - He's definitely tough--I'm impressed with his ability to take the damage -- nm - Flavorize Aug 26, 21:50

  - i tried a few of those, they say live, but they all show as offline. or they come back online for 30 secs, 15 of which is an ad, then go offline for a - Truman Aug 26, 21:37
McGregor is doing very well and winning right now, but the longer the fight goes, the more it favors Mayweather. (nm) - Tim Aug 26, 21:29 4
- I think it's 2-2, but Mayweather seems to be getting dialed in. - David Aug 26, 21:31 2
  - If anything undoes Mayweather, it's that he's overconfident. -- nm - David Aug 26, 21:33 1
    - which is a strange thought as he usually takes 2-3 rounds to figure out an opponent. -- nm - Truman Aug 26, 21:34
- Seems to be Mayweather's strategy--it's going to get ugly fast here -- nm - Flavorize Aug 26, 21:30
*sigh* -- nm - Ref Aug 26, 21:29
There should have been a side bet for O/U on # of punches landed. -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 21:25 9

    - yeah, # of rabbit punches would have been another good side bet. -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 21:27 1

    - Hammerfist!!! -- nm - Bacon Aug 26, 21:27 4
      - MacGregor's decided that he won't get DQ'd, so there's nothing to lose by doing it. -- nm - David Aug 26, 21:28 3
        
        Mayweather's trying to goad him into a DQ. -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 21:36 1
        
        This is actually the most aggressive I've seen Mayweather about one-shot knockouts in like 12 fights. - David Aug 26, 21:38
        
        I only saw one but I read 2, I am getting the after Twitter highlights only -- nm - Bacon Aug 26, 21:35
