buying it at my place but having some friends and family come over to bring drinks and food. None of the local bars that I usually visit will air it since that's not the crowd they want. Then the places that will air it are shit holes I'd never want to visit.

That's exactly what we're doing. I couldn't be bothered to be surrounded by a bunch of obnoxious strangers, so I'll be around my obnoxious friends instead who will throw down some $ on the PPV and bring booze and food.

People will pay for freakshows.

You shoulda seen some of the fights in Pride where 50,000+ fans would watch Bob Sapp lose in 90 seconds.

However, McGregor, albeit a slim chance, has more of a chance of winning than some of the cans fed to a prime Fedor for example that people still watched.

I'm usually 100% not cool for PPV content but for some reason I'll get this. Maybe because the hype lol

I know there are some questionable websites that will also stream the fight for free. I've never used those before but a buddy uses one to watch all the UFC stuff

I'm going to sit at a local brewery and drink some IPA's and have a nice meal while watching. Seems like a pretty good deal.

Not going to contribute to this circus clown act. I'd rather donate the $100 to a charity. At least they would appreciate the gesture.

I made a small bet for McGregor to win...

My logic is, if the chap can take punches & kicks to the face, he surely must win against a boxer.

I agree that McGregor can take a punch, but Mayweather has spent his entire career fighting the best boxers in the business, and is undefeated.

I have to believe that other world champion Boxers can cake a punch just as well as McGregor, and have the training to dish out more than McGregor can.

exactly, I doubt McGregor will land more than a couple of punches, he's fighting arguably the best "defensive" boxer of all time, he will run laps around McGregor and probably knock him out, McGregor has never faced a boxer of this magnitude. Honestly I would prefer for McGregor to win in any fashion just cuz I thinks he's entertaining and makes me laugh out loud but I don't think he has much of a chance
