1Purple Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 So, it has been labelled as the "Fight of the Century" and its happening on May 2nd or May 3rd depending on your timezone. Is the community excited about this match-up? The bout has its own Wikipedia page. Interesting piece from Wikipedia. "The fight is expected to shatter PPV buy records and gross millions of dollars with the ticket prices ranging from $3,500 to $250,000 and the PPV is expected to cost US$89.95 for SD and US$99.95 for HD. Boxing experts say this match could be the richest fight in boxing history and could generate $300 million" What do you think? Will you watch it? Who do you support?

HeyI'mAmethyst Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I clicked on this expecting some flame war on here or something. I don't watch boxing or UFC, I'd much rather be playing ETS2 .

zyprexia Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Well, in one episode of Mash they claim the UK have a day called Boxing day where officers and unlisted personal trade places for one day. Could be a Hollywood myth. Let's cal Jamie and Adam! Besides, hand to hand combat is not that weird is it? 510 Horses and one lucky bird at work Simulators: Prepar3d V4, X-Plane 11, DCS 1.5 + 2.x, ETS2, ATS, Farming Simulator 17, Omsi 1 + 2 System: Intel i7-6700K @ 4700Mhz, 32GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX, GTX970, HP LP2475w monitor (1920x1200) Devices: Logitech G27, SKRS Shifter, CH Products Throttle Quadrant, Trustmaster Hotas Joystick, TrackIR Storage: 2 x SM961 - 250GB (raid 0), Samsung 850 pro 1TB disk, Samsung 850 EVO 2TB disk.

Darth Wazawai Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Only thing I'm going to say about this is this: I laugh at all the homophobic people who watch boxing/wrestling... all it is, is a male on male groping game Edit: sorry ignore the wrestling part... ugh I'm absolutely brain dead today lol. What's attractive about men punching each other in the face? Signature removed by a wondering ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's attractive about men punching each other in the face? Perhaps it's primal instinct. Settling score via a duel to the death was acceptable in ancient history. Plus curiously, people would spectate these mortal showdowns. I can't explain why. Whether with bare fists or weapons. No shenanigans like court and other stuff nowadays. People like what they like in this world. You don't have to understand why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Purple Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 It was more of a money pit than a "Fight of the century" But parking was horrendous. Feeling sorry for these guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyI'mAmethyst Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hehehe. Was "Fight of the Century" just a con to get people to buy more tickets? Thank Jesus I slept that night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Wazawai Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 O.o i missed it. Noooooooo... Oh wait... Eh, just another day in the Office... Don't expect an idealistic way of thinking in this world. Perhaps it's primal instinct. Settling score via a duel to the death was acceptable in ancient history. Plus curiously, people would spectate these mortal showdowns. I can't explain why. Whether with bare fists or weapons. No shenanigans like court and other stuff nowadays. People like what they like in this world. You don't have to understand why. i dont expect it nor would i ever. People can make their own choice on who they hate, but simply put if they want my help hold back them hating characters towards others... Esp if they have never even given the chance to get to know the person they are hatting on. In ancient history those battle to the death tournaments where usually in favor of the victor. Even if not obviously the strongest "should" survive and usually would of. If I personally had to chose a brutal way to die or kill I'd choose a Bow and Arrow (yet to learn) or swords like a Katana... There is no sense in beating each other to death, plus said weapons have been around for longer than time it seems, esp B&A...
