    I don't hate McGregor. What I hate is the greed that brought this circus act about.

    It was only ever going to end one way....

    But people still paid for it, so they're the mugs. I can't blame them for hyping the fight up to get more mugs to buy into it. I just regret not piling into the Mayweather KO at 4/6.

    So it's the media and punters that deserve the hate, agreed.

    Where's this hate thing come from anyway? People have had an opinion on a completely unqualified boxer and that's all.

    Going 10 rounds doesn't make him a good boxer. He looked way out of his depth once FM had figured his patterns out and found his reach.

    He just isn't conditioned to go 10 rounds. No amount of training will condition you either, it's fights that will.

    Obvious outcome if it went past 5.

    McGregor has been offered that part in the remake.

    He's probably a bit old to take up Gay Bitch Slapping.

    He had punched out after 3/4 rounds mate, it was a pathetic strategy relying on a very early KO which was never going to happen.

    We know he's just a mouth anyway, it's his mouth that made him £75m nothing else.

    Anderson Silva or Jon Jones would have been paid peanuts by comparison.

    I didn't see it but it was always about the money. I would have done it for far less but I don't sell like McGregor.

    Silva is a drug cheat so doesn't count.

    So is Jon Jones but they're both more complete fighters than McGregor technically.

    Not as marketable though.

    Diaz didn't need the rematch, Dana forced him into it to save the Irish gobshite

    Jon Jones is the biggest drug cheat the sport has ever seen mate.

    McGregor hasn't got good natural fitness, he always gasses out early and Mayweather is known for his sublime fitness. Pretty much went to script.

    McGregor is closer to my heart than a jumped up peanut headed chip on the shoulder type of nigga. McGregor was collecting a dole check 4 years ago...he made this fight happen not that narcissistic Mayweather. I don't really care who was technically what I can never back a dick head like Mayweather.

    Unlucky Conor...other way round and Mayweather would not dare step into the Octagon..that for me says more.

    Quite unreal how he managed to blag his way into this fight really, fair play to him for that I suppose.

    Neither of them were born into money.
    Both of them are showmen who know how to perform to an audience.
    Only one of them is an undefeated 5 weight champion, former Olympic medallist, and 3 time US Golden Gloves champion.
