Comments Thread For: HBO's Lampley: Mayweather-McGregor a Scam, Rematch in Play

[kafkod]

It's been really gross watching people in this industry try to bury their heads in the sand and pretend like that fight wasn't a runaway success in every aspect.

Before the fight, everyone in boxing was saying that it was a joke, that it wouldn't be competitive, that it would be boring, unpleasing the they eye, and Macgregor would look clueless and embarrassing. Myself included. We were all wrong. It turned out to be a fun and fan friendly fight, by far the most exciting fight Mayweather's been a part of since Castillo. The general public loved it and no one's complaining but people in boxing who don't want to admit they were wrong.

With May-Mac, people were told up front what they were getting, and it more than delivered. Now, Mayweather-Pacquiao? THAT was a scam.

It might have been exciting live, because of all the hype and the uncertainty. But I didn't watch it live, just a recording on YT next day, when I already knew the result, and it looked like a pile of crap to me.

McTapper couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag and Floyd realised that very quickly and just played with him till he ran out of steam.

stfu!! conor tried to win by throwing pitty pat punches?? maybe it was more exiting to you, because floyd actually tried to fight conor and not play it safe when he fought pac. funny how you're giving conor all these praises when before all he got from you was negativity.

I'm not giving him praises, I am pointing out public perception relative to a possible rematch.

... "exhibition fights"?... what's wrong with them?

The only thing I saw wrong with this one is the $100 price tag to watch it, so therefore, me no buy...

...and if a "rematch" takes place, me no buy that s h i t either!....

But hey, more power to May & Con..making 9 figure paydays off of their moronic fan bases!

... I only said that's nothing wrong with exhibition fights... Who is forcing you to buy this kind of entertainment at that price?...

and I said that I DIDN'T BUY IT, jeez Popescu! You're mighty sensitive today

There are millions of dumb Irish willing to buy this on either side of the Atlantic.

Mac sells them the same type of dummy that May sold the black community throughout the last ten years of his career.

A rematch in the octagon might get them another 4million PPVs, but not another boxing match.

But heck, if a boxing rematch only did one 10th as well, that's $10million for Floyd and $5/6million for Conor. Not bad money for a knock-about pantomime show, so who knows?

... No, I'm not... ..............

Now that isn't what I said. to pretend I did just shows you know the deal.

Lampley can say whatever he wishes, smart fans know its just him taking shots because Floyd is on a competing network.

Bottom line is Lampley is talking about a retired SHO boxer because he is more on the radar than any active HBO fighter.

so exactly what did you say, because that always changes up soon as you get caught in your own mess...

first, you and your cronies was saying all this is, is a money grab exhibitition match...now, out your mouth, conor mcgregor was actually trying to win harder than seasoned professionals like pac and alvarez, despite the fact that his stamina couldn't carry him barely 6 rounds...

lampley was just making a prediction, based on floyd's penchant for no risk, high reward fights, and the truth stings apparently...

Let me ask you this, if pac didnt try and basically "gave up", then how come floyd didnt stop him like he did with conor? I mean since pac wasnt trying that's why the fight was boring (in your words)?? lol. I'll love to hear this one. How come floyd wasnt trying to stop manny?

Conor trying?? I thought Floyd gave him those early rounds to tired conor out, that was Floyd's game plan all along, when justifying floyd's poor performance remember?? Lol. Yall cant have it both ways.

trying to stop pac and alvarez would have meant taking a risk...
