There are a few places around town showing it for $25--$30 cover charge. It's $100 if I choose to watch it at home.
I don't see how an MMA fighter can hold his own having to follow boxing rules.
Any thoughts?

I think that Mayweather has a hell of a body. Not that I find him attractive or anything.

Any thoughts? $25 - $30?! Surely you get at least a drink with that? I have quite the dilemma. The fight is live here at 8:30 am / Sunday and we're celebrating my wife's birthday at a nightclub the night before (tonight). Do I sleep and risk waking up late, or pull an all-nighter...then sleep? My money is on Mayweather, btw.

In the meantime, Newman and I will scout around to see if we can fix you up with someone. You'll be single by Wednesday. Glad I could help.

You shook my hand in that coffee shop.

This "fight" is an abomination and does nothing for either sport. It's literally just for money. It's flouting the fight community's conventions!!! It's lewd, vesivius, salacious, outrageous!

Saw the fight on Showtime PPV. They didn't air the four preliminary undercard fights.
The three main undercard fights were nothing special.
The Main Event--
It was a fun fight to watch until somewhere in the eight or ninth round when it was obvious McGregor was running out of gas. It was something of a disappointment that A 29-year-old McGregor didn't have the stamina of a 40-year-old Mayweather. In the 10th and final round it was obvious that McGregor was just bone-tired. Mayweather came on strong and I had no problem with the ref stopping the fight. By that point McGregor was showing no offense at all and was just getting pummeled. There is no doubt that Mayweather would have knocked him out if it continued. Mayweather was still full of energy and showed that he can punch hard (he's mostly known as a defensive fighter).
But until the point that McGregor tired, it was a lively, entertaining fight.

Sinatra had sex with 'all' of them. Speaking of which, Ava Gardner is reported to have once said, "Sinatra only weighed 110 pounds, but 10 pounds of it is cock!". Quite a class act, that Ava Gardner.

And he was talking about Frank's sweaty feet, saying he had ten pounds of sock

What kind of a name is Hy? It sounds like the set-up for an Abbott and Costello routine. "Hi, Hy!" Which brings to mind this scene from The Monkees "A Coffin Too Frequent."

You picked out the one episode that I probably haven't seen in 15-20 years.

You picked out the one episode that I probably haven't seen in 15-20 years. With Ruth Buzzi doing a pre-Gladys Ormphby. George Furth as one of his typical weasly characters, and Mickey Morton as the big, mute dude.

Well I didn't see this shit live, on account of this fucked up flooding and Saturday night being the worst of it, but I read the results, haha. What a bitter sweet result, I'm glad Connie McNugget got TKO'd by a smaller, older, out of retirement decision boxer, however I'm sure this sets MMA back to some, so there's that negative. But I did download it so I'm gonna watch it later. I'M A BOOTLEGGAH!!!
