6 Complaints Every Dad Will Have During Mayweather-McGregor

August 23, 2017

On August 26th, Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor will square off for the biggest fight of the year. Millions will pay to watch it, including your dad, who will have some very specific issues with the fight. And here are those complaints, presented by MyBookie.ag.

1) “I paid how much for this?”
A hundred dollars. That’s how much he paid for it. And he will not shut up about it the entire fight. He paid a hundred dollars for this. A hundred American dollars. If it’s not the best fight that ever has happened (it won’t be) he will be saying this phrase, over and over again. On the bright side, he could win his money back if he really wanted. So could you.

2) “They both need to cool it with their showboating.”
Dads hate showboating. They loathe it. Mayweather and McGregor are probably the most flamboyant boxers (we’ll begrudgingly give McGregor the benefit of calling him a boxer) that have ever participated in the sport whose name doesn’t end in “Ali.” Even though your dad totally loves all the back and forth sass between these two fighters, on the record he hates it. “Just get in the ring and box, boys, don’t jabber about it,” he’ll say.

3) “I don’t care much for that Irish fella’s tattoos.”
Conor McGregor has a lot of tattoos, and that’s a problem for dads. Dads hate tattoos. Even dads that have tattoos, they hate tattoos. So yeah, McGregor’s ink is going to be quite the talking point.

4) “You call this boxing? Back in my day, men boxed for REAL.”
This is not a sentence that will make sense, but it is something every dad will say during the fight, acting like the boxers they saw “back in the day” were somehow better than Floyd Mayweather, a 49-0 fighter, and McGregor, a…well okay they might have a point about him.

5) “Don’t tell your mom I paid for this.”
Okay, technically this is not a complaint. But for many dads, this is what they’ve been reduced to: hiding pay-per-view purchases. On a deeper level, it’s actually a complaint about the fact he has to get permission to do anything in his own damn house.

6) “Wait, it’s over already?”
And at the end of the day, no matter how long the fight goes, no matter how great it is, once it’s done he’ll be mad it’s already over. He’s already mad it’s over and it hasn’t even happened yet. Should be a good fight.
