702427000. Strong Colorado sports s.p.n. Radio 1230 and finally 12 30 pm. Yes pm and on the Yes he and I. Think on e.s.p.n. Radio the e.s.p.n. App and Sirius x.m. Channel 80 on my leg or with Matt mostly in for the guys tonight u.s.p. And radio as presented by Progressive Insurance your thoughts on the 1800 Flowers dot com Twitter feed at e.s.p.n. Radio at Matt Mosley and at Mo Egger 1530 in about 30 minutes we're going to hear from e.s.p.n. Statement made a mint on the shell Pennzoil performance line to talk about some of the n.b.a. Free agent moves of the day but I think Matt we're going to make e.s.p.n. Radio history tonight. You know how now we're going to start a show I would be willing to bet if this is happened in the history of e.s.p.n. Radio it's happened maybe one of the time we're going to start a show by talking about an n.b.a. Summer league game call I think it's very appropriate I've I'm shocked this hasn't happened before I mean we'll have I'm sure somebody does Elias could they check this with a maybe maybe somewhere in the archives of b.s.p. And radio Alonzo ball made his professional debut tonight the n.b.a. Veg as summer league is is in full swing started tonight the l.a. Lakers Summerlee team taking on the l.a. Clippers summer league team Lonzo ball making his professional debut. It hasn't gone well in the 1st have 2 points one of 6 shooting a grand for board 3 a says he finished the game 5 points to a 15 shooting for rebounds and and 5 assists that the Clippers for what it's worth which is really nothing one the game in overtime in the respective summer league openers for both teams this surprise of the night however might have been Lavar ball at the half speaking with E.S.P.N.'s Mark Jones and p.j. Carlesimo. Rosso psychiatric disorders by their body also fall fairly low sugar rush this through it because everybody passed the ball so it don't matter about him this is too old and also got everybody happy that's all this about the crowded press is going to be affected by it so everybody will make better suppress the right you know company you're just trying to last the ball up that it would be good for you know make sure you could just double bypass all up look at it all right well come up with things Number one they didn't get the w. Number 2 as the game went on he launched and he launched a lot he had a bad shooting night just to a 15 from the 4. But it was it was it was fun to watch him tonight and look you can talk all you want about Lavar ball of our ball has helped create some of the hype around his son his son deserves a lot of hype because for my money he was the most entertaining player on the most entertaining team in college basketball last year I think he's going to be a transformative n.b.a. Player but we spent a Friday night in July watching Lonzo ball play a basketball game that was relatively meaningless in large part because all the hype surrounding it was a lot of fun it didn't feel meaningless I mean summer league all of a lot of the s.p. In types of showed up here and generally some really use it as a place where at least reporters go and just visit with people they want to see g.m.c. Want to get some information is sort of a laid back place but in this game for a once you know I didn't get I didn't have the sound up to know exactly how it was being called whether it was like position by position usually is kind of talk over these things and talk about different things but I mean the 1st possession I'm hanging on every possession and the 1st one Alonzo comes down and so I guess a Love few feet outside of 3 point line and just a real just a very relaxed just from the chest it had you know people have compared him to Jason Kidd it had a little of that feel to it and it just because those are the most fun when a guy does it in such a casual way and it was incredibly casual there was no. Thing to it he flicks his wrist and they're seeing room at the other end of it just the perfect hoop and I you know looks different to me Ingram looks a little bigger and so this is going to be a lot of fun now to a 50 he was feeling it by the way he knew he's had every eye on him his entire career going back to 3rd grade and he had a feel for the thing and he knew they've all come out to see me here I am Alonzo in man he was trying to bring down the Thomas and Mack Center with some of those stories which they were not they were not fall and Mo It was a it was a little bit sad one for 11 from behind the arc and toward the end I kind of felt like he was just launched and now now look he's he's not exactly planned with you know a bunch of guys that he's going to be playing with with the l.a. Lakers and so it's a lot easier to be the past 1st kind of guy that he is when you're playing with teammates that 1st of all you've played with for a while and that hasn't happened and that you actually trust and that that level of trust really isn't going to develop until he's actually on the court in the regular season with the guys that he's going to you know play a full 82 games play with but I mean it was just this is overly simplistic it was it was just it was a lot of fun and it was kind of going to watch live our ball is my favorite person in all of sports Freddy and Fitz e.s.p.n. Radio the e.s.p.n. At Sirius x.m. Channel 80 mostly more with with Lavar ball Lavar was was talking with E.S.P.N.'s Mark Jones and p.j. Carlesimo who called the game for e.s.p.n. Tonight on how much he talks with with Magic Johnson we had a go since it was a baby I say all my boys want to make it big difference they go for the ultimate goal to be the best players in the world so no matter how good they are how badly I don't stop working. You know 4 months ago we were here the Pac 12 tournament I can't imagine what these last 4 months once we got done with the answer go play the workouts and then you persist. She yourself where you wonder where I'd be drafted Thanks trip to proclaim that all they share with us a little bit your emotions are with their journeys over the last 4 months or the last 4 months I got. To I want to thank you I got some boys to say Ok so this is like saying go to river you want to thank God for the war but to I'm left I don't really have it's all truly right but what if all you have to do is all right away exactly the way lies are right listen to you to open your eyes. Ball on nothing he has pm broadcast that have time with Mark Jones and p.j. Carlesimo and this game had some punch it's the Lakers and it's Lonzo ball but also this is this is the 1st time that the l.a. Lakers have taken the floor under what is really that the new regime of Magic Johnson obviously he moved into his old role during the end the season last year but but this this kind of feels like now it's finally you know Magic is one of the show it's magic team this is kind of surprising Lavar ball and asked if if he talks often with with magic. Oh so that's it and love it but I have relationship is so good people want to point out is how do you have a good time for each and like there is the one thing that was what everybody was worried about it was going to be meddling once a ball has been a Laker for like 2 and a half weeks but still that was what everybody worried about was was Lavar was going to be 2 in the face of whoever drafted and so far at least according to the bar that's not the case the thing with magic is everybody in Los Angeles reveres him and even Le Var ball who thinks you know the big baller and he's bigger than everybody and talked about how you could take down did he was it Jordan he was talking about it would point in a I think I could have taken him back in the day a guy like that can talking talking talking go on the jump and you go whatever and the minute he comes up in in his with magic you what you do is you sort of turn into a little kid again he's not he's not going to I mean that's a ridiculous thing to worry about oh my gosh he's going to be in magic here also the only thing you worry about is if he's messing with a player all the time if he's telling a player hey they're not treating you right or this or that I mean if he's in that if he's in his son's ear if he's just out there on the airwaves and doing the local 710 l.a. And doing all that stuff that's fine the kid doesn't care if you watch the kid's face if you watch Alonzo's face President would his days do his thing he just sits there is minute he's since he's been in kindergarten his dad's been doing this like none of this surprises him none of this is a big deal to him but all of our ball is not going to get in in Magic's business and start telling him what to do he said people are intimidated to magic he's not going to do that now you're right as as people should be and look I have I've got to think that if Le Var ball doesn't know his role moving forward Magic Johnson has has a long history going back to when he was coming out of of Michigan state his 1st couple . Years in the n.b.a. Of putting people in their place whether their teammates coaches ex coaches opponents she will gladly do it with horrible. Yeah I think I think you're right about that is Mo Agger Matt mostly hosting tonight e.s.p.n.

This is the 4th straight night that you and I have worked together which by the way it's been a blast and I really hope we can do. Again very very soon but there's there's one thing that's been kind of a common theme this week and let me let me see if if you share and share this we've been doing a lot of n.b.a. This week and there's been a lot of n.b.a. Free agency moves and during and a lot of them have have broken while we've been on the air and to the best of my recollection every single time one of these moves is announced or broken our reaction is typically like Ok that makes sense right like Has there been one this week that's been announced during our show that you thought wow what is that team doing nothing nothing seemed too crazy right now so like last night last night to me. Typified last night was the quintessential night that exemplified how rough it is to be a fan of The New York Knicks and I was thinking about this this morning and proper emphasis by saying I'm a I'm a lifelong Knicks fan so so last night while we're on the air there were 3 moves made by n.b.a. Teams and none of them like tilted the the landscape of the league but like it comes out that Kelly Olynyk is going to go to Miami and I think we both process that the same way kind of makes sense you know tall guy who can shoot threes he doesn't have to rebound because they have a white side and there's something about his game that just is kind of prototypical 21st century big man doesn't make the the Miami Heat legitimate contenders to win the East but like movie you go k. That makes sense Rudy Gay to San Antonio and I think we both have the same feeling about this like all right that's that's the perfect team for a guy who's coming off an injury they manage minutes really well and it's not like they need him to come in and transform the team plus he can give them some scoring punch they can go small with him Rudy Gay to San Antonio make sense right yeah I like that deal and don't forget about the Vince Carter I think it was an 8000000 dollar one year deal for 40 year old Vince Carter sense yes yes always want him in a locker room great guy to have and can still play you still play a little bit by understand is a was a Knicks fan sumthin sumthin finally sort of drew you know you had a you had terrible bad reaction to something so so all these moves go down and they kind of fall in line with almost everything happening this week we're almost everything that's happened since the beginning of free agency almost one week ago tonight you've gone Ok that makes sense and the money in the n.b.a. Is out of whack right now but still and then so we get off the air at 11 o'clock Eastern last night I drive home I have like a 10 minute drive home. I poured myself a beverage and I'm kind of looking at Twitter and I see that the New York Knicks. Signed to my heart away Jr a player that they traded 2 years ago to Martin Wade Jr who had like a nice 6 week stretch at the end of the season for the Atlanta Hawks in 4 years 71 mill it seemed to me this is the quintessential Knicks night last night because everybody around the league is doing stuff that if you follow like n.b.a. Writers like hard core n.b.a. Heads they're all like yeah Rudy Gay San Antonio makes sense Kelly Olynyk Miami makes sense next time Hardaway. Like if you if you like search the way Jr and Knicks hear of the things you see all right Washington Post next May never get their money's worth out of him Hardaway Jr. Yahoo 71000000 offer to Tim Hardaway Jr raises question about next New York Times with Phil Jackson gone Knicks make another puzzling decision then there's the New York Post or I'm sure the New York Daily News because it's an offer sheet the headline holy sheet. In a sense like an expanse nodding along right now because it's not that it's a bad deal it's that everybody else is in it is a bad deal but it's that everybody else is doing stuff that on some level makes sense and the Knicks do something that no one thinks makes any sense you think they thought when they did this if they don't match it will just make it legal make life miserable sort of like we did I mention because there was some thought that they had to match it like we haven't done anything. Wrong some just since that whole team they were 2 years removed from a 60 win Diem Yeah so here's Tim Hardaway Jr says this is one of those moves that simply was Ok let's change the narrative it's been about poor seem poor syngas it's been about Carmelo in this relationship with Jackson used to Phil Jackson it's all been horrible let's change the narrative the problem if you change the narrative you'd like to change it to something positive like even. So short of a limit Neal one of my would have been I think I think probably you would have said you know what I'd like to see a limit Here's a playoff hero would like to see the man with the man done in the long hair I'd like to see him in the garden but yeah this one just when does it make sense so Freddie and Fitz e.s.p.n. Radio e.s.p.n. Absolutely essential 80 mostly and I hope your weekends off to a great start e.s.p.n. N.b.a. Insider Bobby Marks was on this morning with Mike and Mike and he sees a different issue with this offer the big concern is not the off the 4 year 70 $1000000.00 He's about the uncertainty in the front office there I don't understand how and I like Steve Mills how James Dolan gives permission to sign a long term contracts without a g.m. In place and whoever they hire is going to be one of cleaning up the mess of this big time contract Yes so this and I speak I speak from of from a place of emotion because because it's still for some reason I'm a Knicks fan but it's like I'm watching all this other stuff in free agency happen and I'm going Ok that's fine the next on the outside looking in and they'll just take some table scraps to fill out the roster and that's that's fine you're rebuilding and you've got a piece to rebuild around and you got to figure out what you're doing with Melo and that's Ok get your front office situation settled move off the back page kind of you know just fade to the background and start your rebuild which you should have started a long time ago and then in. That instead they they allow the guy who probably is going to either have a geo working underneath him or a boss above him sign a guy to a contract by the late Tim Hardaway Jr is not a point guard they need a point guard and it's a ridiculous amount of money plus with the 4th year player option like it's just such an exciting and again it's on its own in a vacuum it's a bad move but you look around the league and everybody else is doing stuff that makes some sense and you do something that nobody. Make sense of the. Awful isn't there a part of you that thinks Steve Mills or whoever is making this decision just sort of likes the name like hey at least this guy has a great name I say more to a senior place point guard like he would make more sense. But I think that I think that played some role of the other problem we just heard from Bobby marks the former g.m. He's part of the s.p. And now he's just come over big signing for e.s.p.n. I sometimes feel that when Bobby Mark somebody called him up the other day for a story who is that Forsberg somebody we talked to the other night I sometimes think they're like literally people like the Knicks whatever are seeing what deals Bobby marks is putting out there like have you seen this recently where he'll deal do a proposed 3 way trade how to make something work yeah reporters are going to Bobby marks and saying hey how do you think you could make this work I think I think they're actually in v.a. Teams out there that look at that and go like what Bobby did there what I wish as a Knicks fan I wish the Bobby would write a piece that the Knicks shouldn't do anything and maybe in the offices of Madison Square Garden they would read that and go Ok let's not do anything like. We love him here but can Bobby marks go you know run the Knicks I mean like it was and again it's not like teams make bad moves all the time but when you're a fan of a team and you see like art everybody else is doing stuff that makes sense and your team is the one in like the entire week that does something that everybody is laughing at so frustrating it's very frustrating especially sounds like for you he has been rated presented by Progressive Insurance straight ahead E.S.P.N.'s Dave McMenamin Yes we're talking about him being a summer league game but Dave also thinks the Celtics maybe made a big mistake it's next on e.s.p.n.

Free agency lots of n.b.a. Activity and I kind of feel like the most hyped summer league game ever in Los Angeles Lonzo balls debut Lakers and Clippers in the summer league in Vegas here to talk about all of it is e.s.p.n. E.s.p.n. Dot com n.b.a. Reporter Dave McMenamin joins us on the shell Pennzoil performance why did you cover this league for a long time and I know it's kind of a dead time in the schedule Did you ever think n.b.a. Summer league game would be the biggest events on an entire night of sports spend it all not at all but you have the elephant was still fall a Lakers other basket job and all of our fault. Kind of us watch t.v. I mean this is big some relief games there that you know a big family game is the biggest oxymoron there is a Maryland plate Griffin made his debut it was finally the Clippers are going to be out from under you know the terrible terrible years that they've had and they would serve Actually if a court fight for that did well this is the thought that Al I think Baron Davis football player the Clippers So he came to the game as well if they have been in the sense that they're just out but you know it's certainly a lot of curiosity around this Blakers game and really tired from early tomorrow in fact every single seat is already sold out it's the 1st for the n.b.a. Family including $400.00 for ties to bring in the hall but I don't know if that's the bill I mean that they're talking about this profit lookee by the office just as about the n.b.a. It better all belief in a really good spot right now. Dave couldn't a I mean I saw you hosting like a huge show on e.s.p.n. Today couldn't they just fly you to Vegas I mean you're sort of too big to be driving anywhere. Else. Here you and Dave are. Looking at this summer early last night you had to be a little amused to see I even read somebody in the Salt Lake Tribune I want even mention their name but it was a very sickly suggested that sort of last minute win for the jazz over the Celtics might have offered just a little bit of consolation after. That was written and you know Donovan Mitchell for the now you know it's just crazy everybody starts trying to figure things out like can Rodney Hood fill the shoes kid. Suddenly just start hitting a bunch of 3 kidnap and but now having seen this happen in you know covered the east as much as you have over the years do you sense that what Boston's done closes the gap significantly with next year's Cleveland team or do you do you think it still you know the Celtics team is still not quite there at this point. It's an excellent It word and they got it it would seem to really get rocky and Jason Katims out of what we stand for that so far did he say this group here is going to get better and deliver outside to get better and I think it's time to go if they help the yeah they they definitely took a step forward but you know they parted ways with all of us a guy that they've built their feel around but selfless don't get to the if you Conference finals without Kelly Olynyk having that same game against the others believe them I have a doubt it every Bradley is one of the better to a flair but when you get a guy who's Kyrie Irving has said on the record guard it better than any other player at least and if I'm the Celtics be playing the Cavs in these are tough followed by whom I will be a part of a guy like Bradley if I'm Major lost in. But you know they're able to keep probably able to keep smart they add a part to sports and they should feel really good about their office goes far because here's the deal they've been really part with me the graphics so say their home and along is this record at their best even if Come February and there's a guy that he had been they could strike and kind of use that infusion of tell it to take them through the 2nd half with even if the play on e.s.p.n. N.b.a. Reporter David minimum with us on the shell Pennzoil performance line mostly in Freddie and Fitz on e.s.p.n. Radio on the e.s.p.n. App the Cleveland Cavaliers obviously are the team that the Boston Celtics are chasing and so over the last couple of days we found out that Richard Jefferson is coming back for I think is 28th n.b.a. Season they signed Jeff Green today to a one year contract are we are we ever going to have a general manager to attach to some of the transactions the Cavaliers are involved in this offseason. Based on the way things have gone my guess would be that Koby Ault it is elevated some sort of interim position and yet for a. They only interview one guy that's been nearly 3 weeks to fight it with it defense and oh I got the interview it turns out so if I haven't seen any urgency while the cat's part it really can't kill that's part of the scramble to find somebody so you're fired I think o.b. Often in their own g.m. Role interesting like with the deal even executive a year for can't charge last year be elevated if they can get the call up front office and. A very active Dan Gilbert. And there's the question if this is Jerry Jones turn this if he only doing this because he messed up the situation if and or if it is decision if they did if there is an order if you don't well it's been a dog like you build it and right now I don't have an answer for you. Yeah I want to hear like did you leave your the former is the case sure or may be you know if they simply everybody else is willing lowballed they lowballed him you know after the Chauncey Billups I do love I understand the going rate is whatever it is $4000000.00 but I don't know it's just I think most people reading stories have a hard time sort of digesting the whole low ball when you're talking about 2 or $3000000.00. But I'm not sure 4 spots are about 3000000 though I think 3000000 want to get the job but if it's 1.52 there's a level. Of respect back there and. If it's someone like opulent guest who's never felt that this is before. And it's believed or I believe that he's making or out $5000000.00 a year for the Lakers. I don't blame fluffy adults or taken a hard line and personally. Well of course that those salaries are meant to fair to the average. Person per say I I I don't think asking for something like $45000000.00 is is absurd especially for a job like you have in Cleveland because. One thing about it you're never going to get credit if you win. Will get credit for being a great player Dan Gilbert will get credit for over half of wallet or even try little get credit for coaching with a g.m. Won't get it in Cleveland whoever comes in to take over for David Griffin and so perhaps you have to make up for that that that kind of. You know Mitt the left out part of the job with the left for a lot of it is day McMenamin be a reporter for e.s.p.n. E.s.p.n. Dot com joining your Matt Mosley fill in for Freddie in Fitz's evening on e.s.p.n. Radio and the e.s.p.n. Now Dave what do you make of this the stories coming out now and the thought that maybe it's time because of the incredible imbalance you saw some of the numbers that folks are coming up with like basically 2 or 3 all star teams in the West in is it time to think about in do you think there's going to be serious thought from the commissioner at some point to changing the way they do it with the conferences in the playoff seeding I think Mark Cuban's quote today was something along the lines of he thinks there are teams in the East who are sort of fine sitting there doing nothing because they can do pretty much nothing and still have a decent chance of getting into the playoffs. I don't I don't buy it I hope there's no chase here. The lesson conference owner is you can't go out and outs all the out of the east and then say oh now we want to play that they're making a set. But that's just your lot and it's fickle Pollie and you know there was a time when the Miami Heat was the best in the league they were. The castle of the favorites a few years ago off the stuff they had their day for if you have 11 or so so I think it absurd I think it's whining and it's really like it's just trying to be what doing whatever can be or those left on earth. You know listen they've already done the only thing that make their lives better 5 doing the lockout taking money out of players pocket. I think to shift the competitive balance also by rights. Being the tried and true or if for 75 years. I'm certain Well you know I mean I'll just pull back the curtain I'm trying to get during one more playoff appearance they. Just work with me a little bit. Well I mean yeah I guess you sacrificed $20000000.00. In Amazing did that jump out at you I mean it's not the 1st time in the world you know that he's done something like that but you were there and have been very close to that Laker scene you saw the end of a career now correct me if I'm wrong I believe his last deal and I'm not saying Colby wasn't you know we had to be in 5 rings all in mazing for that franchise which I believe his last 2 years were what about 40000002 years 40000000 I think it was it was $32.00 that $3030.00 a lot of $50.00 my goodness Ok so a little different than the d. In. Career do you do you think there's any players that look at that in baseball we're going to seal the night you know it's like the union would be upset like how could you do that how could you take it under market deal like that does that happen in the n.b.a. Or are guys more like games don't want to do that fine. Well certainly the far you know like players back lot of those are you going to law. You can't do that you would have opted out of this they were allowed to play but there is a lot like if you are under contract you can't go back and get back. I understand they're slow I have 20 years what threats are your thoughts of a loving guy you thought the way. Everybody reacted when he came on. And be a wart in the air. Everyone loves that we can't go wrong and I have a lot of really sort of. I'm not going to go there but you know my perspective but my. Adverts aren't going to win a championship and that's when you see it I really think that's what I expect I flipped out. It's only 0 to give them a chance I feel like we are today because they were all that tough for they believe they are but that's Ok I have a chip if that's going to be there I'm totally fine with him getting back pay for all the service done that Allison I don't know baby you know the right Philip part well what if you are the perfect fit play but I feel like you want to play 5000000 of us so if. I'm sure it will cross his mind that Chandler Parsons is making about $20000000.00 more a year Matthews you have a 12000000 more year so always interesting Dave Safe travels man have fun at the Thomas and Mack that's going to be quite a scene there and just know that the 1st possession ever for long so just about a 35 foot pass just from his chest never been afflicted and.

Channel 80 Mo Egger and Matt Mosley are hosting cover weekends off to a great start so the economy Gregor Floyd Mayweather fight is is happening I guess we're about about a month and a half away August the 26th and it's going to be a huge of and a ton of people are going to watch and are going to make a lot of money have have you seen the press tour they're going to go on in advance of of this fight so they're going to go on a a 4 day 4 city free country press conference tour to promote the card it's going to start on Tuesday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles it's then going to flip to a Toronto they're going to have one of the Sony Center for the Performing Arts on Wednesday July the 12th. They're going to have they're going to have one at the Barclays Center on the 13th in Brooklyn and then it's going to conclude next Friday in London on the 14th for cities to promote one fight that's not even going to take place in any of those cities are going to go to I like this like this so I think you need to spend little time doing this this is kind of fun I know I was looking at that tour I don't exactly I don't exactly have a great feel for what's happening there just kind of media availability in each city that they do you're going to see them together or they you know they both going to kind of you know that poser in the way you enjoy it going to get each other's face they're going to talk smack and it's going to be fantastic oh maybe some videos are going to be a part of this thing now if it came to Cincinnati I'm sorry both didn't seem like a lot of stuff comes to your diversity but if they decided to come to Cincinnati. You know we had the All-Star Game 2 years ago. Saying this it's like when they were putting the schedule together of course here this weekend Bob Arum or whoever is running this thing didn't say let's put Cincinnati Let's put since that he knew since and you know that that's all he would say and I what he said I say Cincinnati But anyway so they're going to these places so they're going to have some video we're going to be they're going to have some I mean I I don't I don't exactly understand like Will there be some opportunity for all the fight fans to be there will be some free activity that's what I'm wondering the tickets to these events are complimentary So if you want to go there is of and crickets are free so so you can if you're in l.a. You can go and there's a weird you know I'm not going to yes I would go here's the thing about this Ok I'm not a boxing guy not a showman are we doing this free on e.s.p.n. Again is this another fight or I don't read this could be played perhaps I don't know but I would watch but here's my thing about this tour here's my thing about these 2 I'm not a huge boxing guy I'm a big guy. And I'm going to watch the fight just because I like spectacles curiosity my friends are watching it so I'll go all in and I have to pay for it but I'm less interested in the actual fight the actual event I'm all in on all the stuff that happens between now and then because that to me is going to be more entertaining than the actual fight. Is that why does that translate to you liking the hot stove my son other than the actual baseball season 160 baseball season do you like the n.b.a. Free agency what we've just gone through more than the actual season well more than the regular season Yeah increasingly So yeah I mean if you think recently so what's happened this week in the n.b.a. Is more entertaining than you know some game on a Tuesday night in December yes. I mean it really is happening but I just still I don't understand Ok so or you're saying by the time you get to the actual event it's just not going to be it's not going to be a huge thing for you like you you might make time to watch it but right now you're not you're just not feeling it totally Yeah like those 2 fighting each other just doesn't do it for me part of it is I'm just not a huge fan of the sport and that's fine like I get those who are awesome fine it's whatever but I get the spectacle and I get that it's something everybody can be talking about and there's going to be a lot of celebs there and stuff like that so for that end of it yeah I'll check it out but the part that I think is the most entertaining like the fight could be really bad the fight could be really boring the last time I watched Floyd Mayweather fight it was really boring it could be very one sided one sided to me is boring but none of the stuff that happens between now and then not just at these press events but in any interview that's done anything that's tweeted you know any any appearances on any shows that's these 2 guys are great with their mouth like you might not like Floyd Mayweather you know honestly I don't you might not like kind of McGregor that's fine but like these 2 guys his height man these 2 guys as you know trash talkers fantastic and I like it. You know I I don't subscribe to this whole thing that may weathers the most boring fighter ever I mean to just a beauty to what he does and I know he defends himself incredibly well but I mean this is kind of it's not I mean to me that can be fun to watch so I'm not one of them is always not fun I just fights all that kind of stuff I can. I can I can get on board with Mayweather what I think is about to happen here though in the actual fight is him in May this set itself up for huge failure why would something a sport is so much more popular than boxing put itself in this position where they're going to put one of the best guys in their sport out. And just get run over lug. I don't know I don't know I will keep monitoring
