Paid Members herbie747 Posted July 11, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 11, 2017 Why can't Jimmy Lennon Jr say anyone's name correctly? Isn't he supposed to be an announcer? He's so shit. Like a cool priest. Zero charisma. He's already messed up saying "McGregor" and "Espinosa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members herbie747 Posted July 11, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 11, 2017 Well that was a production shambles. 1 mic in the middle, and they give Conor 2 mics that don't work? Awkward as fuck. What even happened? No press questions? Just Floyd going back & forth to the podium with cringy 1 liners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted July 11, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 11, 2017 Pretty clear they tried to cut the balls off McGregor, who made mention he had not a clue of the format until late on. His entrance was muted/fucked up, then they cut off his mic, which meant we never got to hear him have a go back at Mayweather. Bit of a balls up. Hopefully this isn't the entire tour otherwise they've blown it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted July 11, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 11, 2017 Muted crowd. Cut microphones. Floyd's a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted July 11, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 11, 2017 It's awful. "Can't show me up with his fast barbed wit if we can't hear him". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted July 11, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 11, 2017 All those fucking random blokes at the start was the the worst part. Nobody wants to hear from you. Not even your own families. Sometimes, it's easy to forget what a chore boxing is, press conferences included. I suppose, if nothing else, it gives us a taste of what it's going to be like on the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted July 11, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 11, 2017 Mayweather giving it the big dick "I don't care about the gloves or if it's in an octagon" made me cringe too. Oh Floyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members herbie747 Posted July 11, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 11, 2017 I can't believe those Showtime dicks actually cut Conor's mic. And they handed him a 2nd one that didn't work either. A shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted July 11, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 11, 2017 I love the idea of a Showtime producer falling over some chairs, diving on the switch to turn Conor's microphone off after he made a mockery of Floyd's supposed 100 million dollar cheque by shouting, "that's for the tax man!" "CUT HIM OFF NOW!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Fox Piss Posted July 11, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 11, 2017 Certainty looked like a full blown sabotage job. Format certainly put shade on things but it all just looked a maneuver to tame Conor. Mayweather pandering chants to his paid entourage was hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I assume the dudes in the black vests were there in case "shit got real" or something? What a fucking joke. Hope they're not all like this, carefully choreographed shite with each guy getting ten minutes then faving off before fucking off through the back.

jimufctna24 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Nothing else to add, other than Schuab is dreadful. Helwani would have been much better in that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chunk Posted July 11, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted July 11, 2017 Well the big loser there was the sport of professional boxing. Coming from someone that doesn't follow the sport, if that's how they build fights and handle promotion, I'll stick with MMA. Highlight was Dana coming to the podium and talking like a normal human being after all those other boring fucks finally shut up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
