Not if it's the initial ruling. If they announce a winner and change it then the tickets are as is. Floyd's ego is too big for that. Then again, McGregor has spent tens of thousands of hours preparing for this, so he's in good shape!

Oh I didn't realise this, makes me feel more confident to throw some money on it.

Haha I really didn't mean to upset you so much you are bringing it up on other threads

You really need to learn the difference between somebody being upset and somebody laughing at you for being a twat.

They'll try to claim Conor as a Brit all right... The BBC has already tried to claim McGregor as the "First UFC Champion from the UK."

I’ve seen multiple reddit posts quoting the BBC saying that Conor McGregor is the "first UFC champion from the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland", but this was merely a meaningless typo that was eventually corrected to:

• “McGregor, 26, won in Las Vegas to become the first UFC champion from the Republic of Ireland.”

Click on the hyperlinked blue text and you’ll surely accept the blatantly obvious and irrefutable fact that I am 100% correct!

This should compel you to concede that your attempt to support your theory, by quoting some else’s typo in order to boldly and dishonestly proclaim some sort of fictional yearning from UK fight fans for “Conor McGregor to be bestowed the honorary title of a ‘Brit’”, is nothing but a load of sweaty, hairy, wrinkly, sagging bóllócks!

It's not a typo you stupid jerk, and I didn't click on the link... It was something I read that made sense... Dublin is close enough to the UK, which Northern Ireland is a part of -- for the BBC to try to claim Conor if his beats Mayweather.. I don't care what anyone is saying right now because the likelihood of McGregor winning isn't that fabulous.. But if he wins everyone will change their tune.

I’ve presented you with compelling evidence that clearly illustrates the appalling inaccuracy of your claims, but yet you flatly-refuse to review it, whilst persistently claiming your theory to be true, despite there being a total absence of any proof whatsoever to support it?

Simply put: the BBC has never pretended that McGregor was from the UK! They made an innocent typo and very quickly addressed it. So you should not have made such an incredibly dishonest claim that was solely based on a typo!

Learn to read my responses prior to dishing out the insults, because only complete utter fúckíng morons become emotional, insecure and outraged when they realise that they’re in the wrong about such a trivial matter!

Conor McGregor is not British, he’s from the Republic of Ireland and the UK media and fight fans clearly acknowledge this blatantly obvious fact!

Your other statements about geographical proximity are also completely irrelevant to the subject matter at hand! I’m actually a little surprised that you’ve even possessed enough sheer audacity to propose such an appalling notion!

The Americans are losing badly in every boxing class and all of their champs are fake champs. Like Wilder and that guy that fought against Kovalev. And so on and on and on.

Mma is already a bigger sport in America. It has been for quite some time.

I know, but if junior loses, then the Americans will lose all of their interest in the sport. They already feel, or should feel embarrassed about their "champions", but with a lot of cheating and corrupt referees they less or more keep a few blind idiots as fans. America knows very well that even idiots will eventually open their eyes.

I watched 78sports on youtube for example, he's just spreading plain lies from start till end around several boxers, just to make some American "champs" look reasonable. It's just plain sad to see, and when you write something about it he just ignores you so people can't read your post lol. After junior loses, no casual in America would keep on watching boxing. So maybe they promised junior a big amount of cash for a fixed loss.

Yeah, that's really dumb.

Mayweather sure as hell aint losing on purpose to a non-boxer. He would NEVER toss away 50-0 for the greater glory of a sport that isnt even his.

Floyd is the surest money anyone will ever make in this fight. There is literally no chance he loses. He doesnt need to throw a fight to make a gazillion dollars. He's gonna make roughly 300M period.

Honestly, I can assure you that British people are aware of the fact that Ireland isn't part of the UK. It's the kind of thing you learn quite quickly, like Mexico not being part of the USA, or Norway and Sweden being different countries. Do all Americans try and claim that Mexican boxers are American? No, of course not, for exactly the same reason as we don't claim people from different countries.

What if there is an injury from accidental foul before 4th round is finished? Will it be declared a draw? People who bet on Floyd would lose their money.

You're babbling... You don't know what you're talking about. The United Kingdom (UK) comprises four (4) countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The thinking may go, if we claim Northern Ireland, why not Dublin??? That wasn't the 1st time a Brit has taken McGregor for a Northern Irishman.

The confusion isn't helped by some Irish fighters fighting for and winning the British title. Most people do know the difference however.

I assume you're not from the UK, are you? Since only a fûckîng imbecile would consider Dublin as part of Britain.

In fact, I reckon most seven year old schoolchildren from the UK would appreciate the simple fact that Dublin is not part of Britain.

Portugal is close to Spain. That wouldn't make a Portuguese boxer Spanish. Dumb.

You don't lose on draws.

Interesting that Paulie left Conor's camp and still said McGregor closed strong at the end of the 12 rounds. If he can keep his nerves in check boxing should be easier than what he's used to cardio wise.

Probably not what you meant.....The pace is only going to be easier if he is allowed to do it by Mayweather or by himself if Mayweather is somehow not setting the pace. No matter who you are, if you don't pace yourself, you can die in the ass in 3/4 rounds, no matter the fitness, we are all human or boxing training should be mma fitness training full stop, if its such an advantage.

And If we are going to put stock in what Paulie says then....as of recently and as of some unflattering "leaked" sparring photos (unflattering for Paulie)...He's cracked it and said he kicked Conor's ass. So I'm beginning to think......Conor might have this in the bag.

He also said he was jet lagged then thrown right into sparring immediately. And hadn't been in the ring doing any work in a week. More mind game shit from the notorious one. Reminds me of Cooney beating the shit out of his help behind closed doors, then bringing in the reporters to watch him knock them out. Either way, at this point any top boxer would walk, WALK through Paulie. Unknown Brits are dropping their hands and laughing at him nowadays. If Paulie is going 12 competitive rounds with McGregor, that says enough right there. McGregor is in trouble, and he's likely getting knocked out clean.

Why don't you GTH A-Hole??? ... It's obvious that the Brits love McGregor and if he beats Mayweather they'd love to claim him... Some have tried already obviously.. Flights from London to Dublin are domestic flights leaving from the domestic terminal.. At least they did last time I was over there 5 or 6 years ago.. That's rather strange when you're flying to a foreign country.

I meant what I said. Floyd doesn't set a rousing pace. Conor has no chance of winning, but I'm starting to think he may go the distance.

I was merely talking about his ability to box 12 hard rounds. Many on here don't think he can.

I don't think McGregor can go 12 rounds because of who and how he's boxing -- and how he's trying to learn the craft..

He's going to make at least 80 million so why doesn't he spend some of it now??? If I were Conor I would get a top technical trainer and top sparring partners from the beginning.. You don't have to spar hard when you're learning.. You don't have to trash talk like he does with Paulie.. To stay with Floyd he'll need a good stance, balance, footwork, believable feints, a sharp jab that really works, and a sharp right hook..

What he has is a good left hand that he throws straight or from different angles.. He needs to fire it on a hair trigger, straight and hard, and with a deceptive delivery.. But you need to show Mayweather more than that to set him up for the left.. Even Ingemar Johannson had setup punches.

Lets hope he doesnt go 12 rounds. Might depend a great deal on Conor, how much he tries to fight, I mean hes Mr Fighter doesnt make sense for him to try and outbox Floyd. He's been very mouthy, hes got the youth and the testosterone at that age. Hopefully he doesnt tap out and stay away. Floyd couldn't give two F's but I do. Floyd better deliver a stoppage, try and make it happen if its not handed to him.

I'm one of them for sure. He will not last 36 minutes, if he does he just took a life changing beating and survived on heart alone. My guess is he's stopped in 7-9 rounds, and loses every round. He's probably overconfident having moderate success sparring against a washed up gatekeeper with zero power, that's a world of difference from facing the best boxer alive with history & legacy on the line. One thing to factor in is how drained this guy is gonna get missing shots round after round while getting nailed with counters, he's never had to deal with that before. It mentally drains as well, that's why I think he doesn't last 12.

I'm not sure whom you're trying to sell. He has no chance at all. He's also clearly better than anyone thought. Fighting 12 competitive rounds with malignaggi when you have no pro fights is impressive in it's own right.

Paulie said it was. He could be lying, not sure why he would.
