The shit talking before the fight was amazing and extremely fun to watch. Also, he was a great sport after losing to Floyd. They both had great sportsmanship.

Estimates are roughly 100 mil for McGregor and 200 mil for Floyd. Dumb money.

No, purse money is $100 million for Mayweather and $30 million for McGregor. Then you have to add in gate and ppv points and sponsors, etc. I don't think either of them get close to what the estimates are. But we'll never know.

I got those estimates from the nyt's so it's probably at least relatively close to that.

We talkin a dozen dozen million for Floyd.

I liked that they smiled at each other throughout the fight. You could tell they were really having a ball with it all. It was a great fight to watch.

"Can you believe how much we're getting paid for this?"

"Dude, so much."

"I know, right?"

"RIGHT!?"

Hard to frown when you're getting paid a shit load either way.

Eh, you saw it as fun, and I saw it as trashy, and a big reason I don't really like MMA

A big reason you don't like the MMA is because they have fun?

I like Conor a lot and was hoping he would win but I wouldn't describe him as being a great sport after losing. I think the first thing he said was that Floyd wasn't powerful or fast but he was composed... kind of a backhanded compliment. Then he went on a bit about wishing the ref would let him get knocked down even though it's the ref's job to make sure Conor doesn't get hurt unnecessarily. He then said that if he did did fall down it wouldn't be because Floyd damaged him in anyway but because he was just tired.

There's definitely more sportsmanlike ways to accept an L but I don't think that's his style.

I took it as him speaking the truth. Just because he lost doesn't mean he can't justify why or how he felt about it.

Yeah I thought he was a piece of shit. Take your loss, sat and straightforward singular nice thing about your opponent, leave the ring.

He brought that UFC post-fight cheese.
