the_mole Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 The Japanese card with Bendo-Edgar 1 headlining it started it around that time, well the prelims did. I'm guessing with Australia being so large they have several timezones and if they want to do Western Australia then it has to start early (or be a Fight Pass card) I'm guessing they looked at numbers to see if it would sell before trying it.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 20, 2017 another wee heads up, but The Works have quite a few MMA books on sale at the moment. Saw Dan Hardy, Gustaffsson's, John Kavanaugh's there the other day as well as Jack Slack's McGregor book, all for a few quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mole Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Khabib has to prove he can make weight, I wouldn't fight him after being burned in March at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted November 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 23, 2017 Meh, I just want to see the fight. It breaths rare air, in terms of the quality both men possess and how it ranks amongst elite match ups - almost no other combination of fighters is more exciting, IMO. Plus, it's for a shitting Interim title anyway. Khabib smash; Tony Ju-Jits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chunk Posted November 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 23, 2017 I don't understand why Ferguson will never fight Mcgregor. That needs more of an explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted November 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 23, 2017 Maybe he's trying to get more coin out of them? I don't think the title gives him the leverage he fancies himself to have though, considering how rubbish his last PPV did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Surely there’s no real appetite for Pacquiao/McGregor? Probably just a troll from Manny, but a lot of places seem to think it has legs as a story. Launchpad for the UFC’s boxing venture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted November 23, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 23, 2017 Not on my end, but Conor is such a brilliant hype man that I'm sure he'll convince plenty to pay for it. I just want him back doing MMA. His fighting talent is wasted in boxing, even if his bank account isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mole Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 De la Hoya said he would come back and beat McGregor in two rounds just last week, they are probably just saying this stuff to keep their names out there and like Mayweather, I don't think Dana is in a hurry to line Bob Arum's pockets, plus a fight with Diaz probably does the same buy rate as either of those fights. McGregor's camp don't seem to be mentioning Boxing at all and even John Kavagnha is now saying the Tony Ferguson fight makes the most sense. We don't know if anything will even happen with the Bellator incident, if he gets some short term ban or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen it yet but I read that he (or his management) had some kind of producers credit & had final edit.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 24, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 24, 2017 the ship has sailed for me regarding McGregor and any boxing career. The Paulie fight had legs but its cooled off and Paulie is sucking any life out of it by continuing to talk with no response. I dont think theres any weight behind the Pacquiao thing, its click bait shit that everyone has jumped on. ...i am interested to see how the UFC go about this boxing thing though.

The common themes of the reviews I read made it seem like a bit of a missed opportunity/fluff piece. 9 minutes ago, Egg Shen said: the ship has sailed for me regarding McGregor and any boxing career.
