Don't think we've polled this yet, interested to see people's views.

Ah, but there was no choice for 'Maybe' which is essential for any poll

No, if it was on earlier I might have and had some mates round

I have been persuaded by my son to go to the cinema and watch it,it will be the first fight i've paid to see for over 4 years.

No. I'm not really interested in the fight to stay up until around 4am. Even if I was a hardcore fan I would stream it and there are plenty of live feeds available on Facebook or Kodi.

I will likely get the news story Sunday morning while getting ready for work and watch the conclusion on Youtube or Modbro while im at work.

I will be more interested in the conspiracy theory that follows the fight, thats going to be very interesting.

No. Not a chance in all honesty now either. I'm at a wedding the day before from 12 so I'll more than likely be pissed and flat out in bed

ewenhay · Post by **ewenhay** » 22 Aug 2017, 15:02

No. I probably won't even watch it when it is on regular sky on demand in a week or so. It's been fixed from the start in my opinion.

Got it already

Can't wait for it..

Massive excitement ahead

I get how a lot of people feel about the main event but its a cracking undercard & surprised more people on here ain't interested in the show based just on that. And the argument about not wanting to have to stay up to watch the fight live is kind of the case for all USA events.

Nope. But i will be watching. Jack and cleverly is a more interesting fight for me

Yes - Floyds the master and the greatest of all time. Yes he might be shot (we don't know) and the fight is probably a farce.... but for me it was like when Hearns fought in Manchester.... if I had the money you just had to go and watch.

Yes, I called him the greatest of all time. Yes - I know Sugar Ray Robinson has a greater resume etc. but I really don't think know one at 147 could beat Floyd.

Oiky · Post by **Oiky** » 22 Aug 2017, 16:53

No

I'll be watching it though, with the boys, divvy as it is I'll still be watching it

Not a chance in hell

leejonesjnr · Post by **leejonesjnr** » 22 Aug 2017, 17:12

I'll be buying it.
I avoided the press conference tour as the nonsense name calling and screaming and shouting doesn't excite me.
I've been fairly pleasantly surprised by how little hype there has actually been really.
Apart from the borderline amusing main event the card is actually really strong and should be a good watch.

CaptainSpacerod · Post by **CaptainSpacerod** » 22 Aug 2017, 17:38

I'd like to watch the main event if only to see how beautiful boxing can look when a sublimely skilled boxer deals with a lesser opponent. I'm looking forward to seeing how Davis gets on and to seeing Clev box on a massive stage in what could be a real slugfest.

But with my boxing purist hat on I don't wanna watch Floyd and Connor playing us the paying public for fools so in this instance I'm gonna cut off my nose to spite my face.

CHRIS TARRANT · Post by **CHRIS TARRANT** » 22 Aug 2017, 18:09

Team stream on this one. Save the money for GGG/Canelo.

I'd pick Hearns over Mayweather.

Jack/Clev is the only thing on the undercard worth watching
Davis is a farce fight and the main event will dissapoint and if the shock outcome happens a 5 second highlight on the news will do me.
My money is going to GGG/Canelo and AJ/Pulev not Roid Wifebeater Jr and his travelling circus...

gilgamesh · Post by **gilgamesh** » 22 Aug 2017, 18:22

No, I don't do PPV's anymore. The prices got far too ridiculous for my wallet a long time ago.

And Don Curry

Just read that there's still around 7,000 tickets available, according to Buncey

Clearly there's not as much interest as they were expecting.

Is that about 1/3rd? 20,000 venue?
Still time to go. A lot of transient tourist traffic in Vegas so more could sell.
