Looks like Prograis is just lost in this card..

[armageto]

This card is even worse than I imagined, so far

[Ruthless-RKO]

Been watching half hour and no boxing..

I guess it’s just entertainment

[Ruthless-RKO]

Ice Cube. basically paying for a concert

[Ruthless-RKO]

Bloody Ric Flair as well.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Where are the fights??

It’s fight club, not entertainment club

[margaret thatcher]

wanna appeal to the instagram types

Hmm...

I was actually thinking about buying this...

My wife said: Jake Paul???......Really????.....

She normally says: "what day?, and I'll invite the usuals."

Based on her reaction I decided against buying this ppv.

The posts here make me think that was a good choice.

Mir up yet?

Mir up yet?

Literally it’s gonna start now.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Good thing is, I think most the concerts are done. If not all.

[Ruthless-RKO]

ODLH acting like he’s one of the lads. Commentators talking about being high on Snoop Dog’s weed.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Why did Cunningham stop fighting?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Mir doesn’t even know what he’s doing.

[Impractical Poster]

How's the Mir/Cunningham fight coming along?

[Perseus]

Is it a fight or a beating?

[armageto]

Is it a fight or a beating?

Sparring

Does Al Bernstein money this bad to be in the booth for this fuckery? I thought Triller would have been a good thing, but this is just garbage. I hope it goes out if business.

Imagine the Lopez-Kambosos event.

I’m just gonna wake up when it’s the main event.

Even then. No one knows when that’ll be. These lot have concerts every 2 mins.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Cunningham won a decision..

60-54, 60-54 and 58-56.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I wonder what the commentary will be like for the actual boxing match on the card.
