Video: Proof that the McGregor vs. Mayweather fight was rigged?

Leave a comment

Everybody on the internet is still debating the “McGregor vs. Mayweather” fight. There are those that believe that the fight was real & legitimate and there are those who believe the fight was rigged/fake.

The fight really was rigged. It was rigged from the get-go; it was easy for me to figure out. There’s a pretty good reason why Conor never did one of his hard-punches that the guy is known for — maybe it’s because he wasn’t allowed to? It seemed to me the whole fight was scripted, planned out beforehand and orchestrated. The proof is in the video above.

Everybody wants to believe that McGregor was a pussy and didn’t have a chance to beat Floyd but maybe that was the fight’s intention all-along? McGregor was willing to lose and was willing to make himself look like he couldn’t beat Floyd. They were definitely fake fighting for sure. Conor through a bunch of jabs at Floyd but they barely hit him.

I tell ya if this was a real fight then it would have been a bloodbath. Floyd would have had some cuts on his face and a black eye — maybe Conor would have been a bloody mess too. Conor’s an MMA fighter… if this was a real fight then Conor would have been a lot more brutal on Floyd but it looks like Conor was secretly ordered to go easy on Floyd.

I agree with some that Floyd and Conor should take a rematch to the Octagon next time. Even Floyd himself challenged Conor to the Octagon so will Floyd follow through?

It’s interesting though that Conor and Floyd spent a couple of months trash talking each other — now it’s all over with, they love each other all of a sudden. Goes to show this whole thing is a work, absolutely.

It’s a shame to see that many won’t admit that Floyd is a fraud and always has been. He’s not a great boxer at all. This wasn’t the first time Floyd paid a lot of money to rig a fight ’cause I believe Floyd rigged his 49 other fights that he was undefeated for. I think many are afraid to say negative things about Floyd ’cause they’re afraid of the race card pretty much.

Regardless of your opinion of this fight, it is the most talked about fight in history. I remember the last most-talked about boxing match was when Mike Tyson bit Holyfield’s ear and I still remember that match too like it was yesterday. I watched that fight on ppv years back too.

Fuck boxing, that Mayweather vs. McGregor fight would have been better if it wasn’t rigged…

1 Comment

Yes, I watched that fight. I just couldn’t help myself but watch it out of curiosity. This fight really is the fight of the century. The fight got everyone talking. Even if people aren’t into boxing or MMA, the non-fans even got talking about it. Whether you agree with this fight or not, it is great publicity for both boxing & MMA — that can’t be denied.

Anyways, about my thoughts on last night’s ppv… I thought the undercard fights were good except for the second one: Nathan Cleverly vs. Badou Jack (aka Jack the Ripper). That fight was bullshit ’cause even though Jack was winning the fight, Cleverly was still trying to fight but the ref called for the bell and ended the fight anyways. That was dumb. So that gives you a little clue of what’s about to happen later on during the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight.

I thought the other two undercard fights were pretty good, though.

As far as the big main event goes: Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor — everyone’s praising that fight saying both men did a great job and more people are giving both men more respect. Really? That fight was actually mediocre at best.

From what I’ve seen, Conor was actually kickin’ ass and doing real good and like usual Floyd was boring in the ring like always. I don’t know why people keep praising Floyd like he’s this great boxer when technically he’s lousy. I know I defended Floyd in the past but after last night, I was wrong.

Conor could have knocked out Floyd easily if it was a real fight but I think it was obviously planned… the fight was a work and totally rigged. The ref, of course, sided with Floyd most of the time and the ref gave Conor so much shit throughout the fight. I was rooting for Conor to win but with this being a Floyd Mayweather production company being in charge of the fight, you shouldn’t have been surprised that Floyd was gonna win no matter what. Floyd probably did already buy the win beforehand.

The fight was totally rigged ’cause to me it looked like Conor wasn’t ready to end the fight during that 10th round. Floyd kept punching Conor and the ref just suddenly called it off. Conor wasn’t knocked down at all. I’m seeing from a lot of fans saying that Conor was beat up badly and knocked out. Really? Conor wasn’t knocked out at all. Sure, Conor was looking a bit worn out and tired but he still had some fight in him; he definitely wasn’t done at all.

So I’m sitting here thinking that no matter what Conor tried to do to win the fight: whether by knockout, TKO or unanimous decision… Conor would lose no matter the situation ’cause Floyd was gonna win no matter what happened. Floyd probably paid the promoters, the judges and the ref a lot of money to make him look good for most of the fight.

Floyd didn’t look good out in the ring; he looked old, tired and boring. Floyd didn’t go “all in”. No matter the outcome of the fight, both men are happy anyways ’cause they both got paid bigly. That’s why Conor looks very happy even if he lost ’cause I’ve read that Conor got paid $100 million for the fight while Floyd got paid a lot more.

After last night’s fight, I can see why people stopped caring for boxing. Pro boxing have been rigged and corrupt for a long time. There’s a good reason people stopped watching boxing.

I also love how a lot of people are trying to make claims that Conor knows nothing about boxing and doesn’t have any experience. Don’t listen to them. They’re just making lies to make Floyd look good. Conor had years of experience in boxing. I’m sure he had to do a lot of boxing training before he got into MMA. He definitely seem to know what he was doing last night except I wish he would put his hands up in front of his face more to protect himself which he didn’t do much.

I enjoy boxing but not pro boxing. I prefer amatuer boxing more. I may be learning boxing myself but I just do it as a hobby. I’ll never step in a ring, ever.

Despite the disappointing results of the fight last night, it was interesting to watch so it was definitely worth the money, absolutely.

Video: First teaser for “Twin Peaks” revival is released…

Leave a comment

I’m thinking they’re gonna keep releasing a bunch of short teasers until the full trailer is out. The full trailer will be out soon and can’t wait. I love this show.

Like usual David Lynch is full of weird mysteries ’cause that guy’s mind is a little messed up but he’s a genius, no doubt.

There’s still a lot of unexplained things about Laura’s death and I’m sure all will be revealed in the new season.

David Lynch back on board to direct “Twin Peaks” revival…

Leave a comment

David Lynch bailed out. Fans & supporters complained and protested. David Lynch listened to you all and he answered. He’s back on “Twin Peaks” return to direct. I’ll have to agree that the show can’t be done without him. I’ll admit it’s not “Twin Peaks” without David.

What I love about David Lynch movies and TV shows is that he likes to make his stories that could be put in your own interpretation, if you know what I mean. That’s why they’re all difficult to figure out what they’re about, ya know? With movies like, “Eraserhead”, “Blue Velvet”, “The Elephant Man”, “Mulholland Drive”, “Lost Highway”, etc. I’ve seen all of Lynch’s films. I just love his weirdness and crazy storytelling. Without David Lynch, the “Twin Peaks” revival would lose it’s strange storytelling that David is good at.He wants you to figure out his stories are about yourself.

So I’m glad Showtime and Lynch are back on good terms again.

Yeah, Lynch maybe a big time liberal and Obama supporter but I don’t give a shit about Hollywood’s political views. I just like their art and their stories. Lynch is a great storyteller. His work is pretty addicting stuff.

I won’t be able to watch the new “Twin Peaks” since I don’t have Showtime anymore but I could wait for DVD or Netflix streaming.

Don’t be mad at Showtime, it’s all business, folks!!!

Leave a comment

“Twin Peaks” fans are mad at Showtime ’cause they didn’t give David Lynch enough money to write the script the way he wanted it. People are mad at Showtime. Threatening the network that they would lose the fans support, protesting and all that stuff.

Keep in mind that David Lynch wasn’t the main creator of the series. He was “co-creator”, meaning that he helped create the show with someone else. Mark Frost was the main creator of the series, Lynch just helped him with it a little bit. So all this talk of “No David Lynch, no Twin Peaks” don’t make any sense to me at all.

The show “Twin Peaks” can easily go on without Mr. Lynch ’cause as you know, David Lynch didn’t direct every episode of the two seasons of “Twin Peaks”. Lynch only directed several episodes anyways.

As far as this deal goes, maybe Lynch just wanted too much money that Showtime couldn’t afford? Maybe Showtime just wanted this show to be on a lower budget, ya know? I think they are just trying to keep the costs down.

I support Showtime on their decision ’cause whatever it is, it’s all business ’cause that’s how Hollywood works. I wish people would understand that but nope… you know how obsessive fans can be when they don’t get what they want. David Lynch is not the king of “Twin Peaks”, it’s all Mark Frost’s baby. Lynch was just a helper like I said above.

I’m still gonna support the new show even if Lynch will no longer be involved. I’m sure the show will still be great without him.

Look like the whole “Twin Peaks” gang are gonna return… Laura and Bobby are coming back as well!!!

Leave a comment

Sheryl Lee (Laura) and Dana Ashbook (Bobby) are coming back to the show as well.

http://www.slashfilm.com/twin-peaks-season-3/

The article says that the character Audrey is also set to return but I wonder if Benjamin Horne, Donna and James  are coming back? What about Shelly? I’m sure we’ll get the whole “Twin Peaks” gang. I wonder if Sheriff Truman is gonna return too?

BREAKING NEWS: “Twin Peaks” confirmed to return for 9 episodes…

Leave a comment

I’m glad more Twin Peaks is coming. We really need an explanation of Dale and the Black Lodge so they’ll probably give us that for the next season. We still need to know more about Laura Palmer too. I’m pretty sure Kyle Maclachlan will reprise his role as Dale and I’m pretty sure Ray Wise will come back as Leland Palmer (Laura’s father). They have to come back ’cause they were a part of this whole Black Lodge thing.

For the new season, I’m also sure we’ll see some some familiar faces. All the characters from the previous seasons will return. I’m sure characters like Audrey, Donna, James, Ben Horne, Lucy, Bobby, etc.  will all return. The only character who won’t return is obviously Josie Packard (unless there’s gonna be new flashback scenes for her???).

I’m glad that the show is going to Showtime instead of CBS (remember CBS owns Showtime). On Showtime, that means more freedom in creative writing. There could be more nudity and swearing. Watch the prequel film, “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me” there was a lot of nudity and swearing in that film.

It’s gonna be interesting to see what Twin Peaks is gonna be like years later. Knowing how David Lynch writes, I’m sure he’ll make the 9 episodes a bit weird and crazy like the previous seasons were.

I don’t have Showtime so I won’t be able to watch it but I’m sure those 9 new episodes will be made available for streaming on Netflix soon after.

Glad Mr. Lynch is giving us more, thanks dude! He definitely knows what the fans want and this is probably what he’s doing this for.

Dexter is coming to Netflix streaming tomorrow on Halloween… yes, all 8 seasons…

Leave a comment

Now that “Dexter” is all done on Showtime… the show will be made available for streaming tomorrow on Halloween for Netflix services. If you’re subscribed to Netflix, I would recommend you start watching this show for those who never had Showtime and never got to watch it. It really is a great show. All 8 seasons will be made available. I already have most of the seasons on DVD anyway but I think I’m going to start re-watching the final season on there.

Too bad that the show had to last for 8 seasons as I thought it could go on for a few more but Michael C. Hall was the only one who wanted to quit and move on.

If you’re looking for something to watch for Halloween weekend… start watching, “Dexter”. One of my favorite shows. Enjoy!

Kev

EDIT TO ADD: I didn’t get to watch all of Season 8 ’cause I had to get rid of Showtime. I don’t have Showtime anymore. Too expensive. Now I’ll be able to catch up with the rest of the show and see how it ended.

Time Warner Cable officially drops Showtime network, and I’m actually okay with that…

1 Comment

Last night, I turned on my TV to check to see if we still have Showtime in the Capital District but it turns out we no longer have Showtime. I subscribed to the Showtime channel just for the “Dexter” show alone. Now with it’s final season currently playing and about five or 6 episodes in the season, TWC drops Showtime. Us Dexter fans can no longer watch the rest of the final season; however, I’m okay with that.

I was a little pissed off at first but after thinking about it a while, I figure Showtime was a garbage network anyways. Let it go. It has a terrible selection of movies. I only wanted that station for “Dexter”. The reason Showtime was dropped ’cause the station is owned by CBS and they are in a big legal feud with Time Warner Cable. The reason is ’cause CBS wants to get paid more to stay on. CBS wants a payment deal that TWC can’t even afford so maybe it was a good idea for TWC to drop them. So I’m guess I’m siding with TWC here. It’s all business. Everyone’s angry at TWC and accusing them of being greedy but if you think about it — it’s CBS being greedy, and not TWC.

I don’t know how I’m gonna watch the rest of Dexter now. I tried the “Showtime Anytime” Ipad app but there’s no TWC provider on it. I guess I’ll have to wait for the final season to come out on DVD. While it’s a shame and kind of sad but at the same time it’s a good thing… hard to explain. TWC did a good thing, if you think about it. If TWC gave them the deal they wanted… that could be good enough to take them out of business and they could lose a lot of money. I think that’s why they had to do what they had to do. I can’t blame them. CBS is not a good network either and they have always been greedy bastards so this is nothing new.

I didn’t think the dropping of Showtime would affect this area but I guess it did. I guess Time Warner Cable in the Capital District is part of the NYC TWC company. NYC is where the main company is.

Look like I’ll have to find something else to watch on TV tomorrow night. Probably a Netflix movie or something.
