Paid Members Chunk Posted August 25, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 25, 2017 So far as crossover to the mainstream is concerned ... The Metro is a newspaper that basically never covers boxing outside of the mega fights and, as far as I've seen, has never covered MMA. Here's a four page spread in today's paper for Mayweather / Mcgrgeor: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted August 25, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 25, 2017 Did he not see the WBC belt on the line? Legit. Anyway, as discussed a few weeks back, I do enjoy all these traditional boxing types that have deluded themselves into thinking boxing is above the biggest boxing match ever. Adorable, even, given boxing's incredibly shady past and present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can download the app on my tablet, but Sky don't allow casting, which is ridiculous for a one time event. I've got a laptop, but it's dogshit and even then I don't know if Sky somehow block it when connecting it to an external big screen? Even contemplated borrowing a neighbours sky box for the night.

Also, I'm starting to resent how excited I am for this fight. Stupid Conor McGregor and his ability to sell me he has any sort of chance. 12 round dullfest! 10 mins in and this is spectacular. Eubank always manages to talk just enough sense to make it impossible to completely dismiss him as a nut job, whilst still managing to basically be a complete nut job. I can never work out if he's insane or a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Moo Posted August 25, 2017 Admin Share Posted August 25, 2017 I enjoyed Eubank's interview massively - similarly the reaction from most non-UK folk who I guess don't know who he is or that he's *always* been like this. Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's boxing's version of the Million Dollar Championship. They literally copied Ted DiBiase by commissioning a belt made of gold and covered in diamonds to hand out to the winner. 9 minutes ago, ColinBollocks said: Anyway, as discussed a few weeks back, I do enjoy all these traditional boxing types that have deluded themselves into thinking boxing is above the biggest boxing match ever. Adorable, even, given boxing's incredibly shady past and present. it's all based around a need to feel superior. They desperately want to cloak boxing with a veneer of respectability, which is quite laughable if you spend even five seconds going over the history of boxing.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted August 25, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 25, 2017 I haven't watched that Eubank interview yet but it's on my to-do list. Always got time to listen to Eubank Thenior. Was he giving McGregor a chance just because he's Irish again like he was a few weeks ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop me a PM if you want a more reliable method via 'other means.' Bunce on the Boxing 5 Live boxing show - Claiming he feels McGregor is starting to panic. Bunce has switched stances on this fight so many times it's mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted August 25, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 25, 2017 I bet Helwani loves him. A character like Eubank is right up his street. Did anyone watch Helwani's interview with Mayweather from Mayweather's new strip club? Fucking knob Floyd is. Ariel asked him something like 'do you ever look back over your accomplishments with nostalgia?' And Floyd got a bit arsey for some reason. I don't think he knows what nostalgia means judging by his reaction. Oh and Ariel going 'I waited here for 6 hours to interview you'. Just try to picture Helwani lurking around a strip club for 6 fucking hours. Something about that tickles me. I can only imagine what my wife would say if I told her I spent 6 hours of my working day hanging around a strip club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BigJag Posted August 25, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted August 25, 2017 The Eubank interview is a great listen/watch. Helwani seems to be Eubank's new biggest fan. Or he's taking the piss. I'm never quite sure if he is being genuine with his praise. Eubank seemed to blow his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
