Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather (August 26th) - Page 10 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Btw why do casual boxing fans keep buying PPV's involving Mayweather? He's not exactly the most likable guy, he beats up women, he's boring af for the casual fan... are they all hoping this next fight just might be the one he loses?

we buy to root against him, hes a genius at playing up that heel image

Mayweather by KO at 3:1 seems to be better value though maybe I'm underestimating floyds unwillingness to do anything remotely entertaining

Pretty much anything you bet on Floyd is profitable but those odds I think don't include TKO that's why they are higher. I really like Floyd rounds 1-6 @3.8.

People talking about the weight difference forget that Mayweather knocked out a 400 pound guy.

3:1 can't be right for any ko. I am always confused by the different odds formats but that means you bet $100 to win $400 right($300 profit) ?

No it means in order to win 100 you would have to risk 300

Put another way

For every dollar you bet I put up 3

I'm seeing that as separate bets on 365. 4/6 any ko/tko/dq.

In that case those odds look extremely bad. That would be equivalent to 1.33 decimal odds and Sportingbet is offering 1.72.

Yea you are agreeing with me right?

On Sportingbet if you bet $100 on PBF:

by KO - You win $375 ($275 profit)
by TKO - You win $350 ($250 profit)
by DQ - You win $1200($1100 profit)
by KO,TKO or DQ - $172.70($72.7 profit)

0% chance Floyd kos Conor, he has to open up to ko Conor & he's afraid of getting knocked out, only way he wins is by hit & running for 12rnds like he does with everybody.

what's the vegas line at right now and what's the highest we can bet. I can't count high enough to find a line I don't back up the money truck on Floyd for.

Congrats to both for getting paid, but this is a joke.

like how is that even possible? How is the line not already been taken off the board cuz Vegas is in risk of ruin?

On one side we got the best boxer of all time.
On the other side we have a guy who was a mediocre amateur boxer a decade ago.

Mayweather's sparring partners are a good bet at -700 vs Conor, nevermind Floyd himself.

There are re-sale sites that are selling "tickets" to it right now, but they're of the shady "buy now, and we promise we'll acquire a ticket for you, but if we don't we won't charge you" variety.

I want to know when official tix from the venue or main ticket seller (Ticketmaster?) will be made avail to the public (if at all)?

anyone know the answer to this?

I'll prob be doing some combo of Mayweather to win, Mayweather by KO, Mayweather to win in each of rounds 1-5.

I'm not sure what the best hedge is though. I saw CM win by DQ was like 60 to 1, that's about the only reasonable way I can see him winning. Maybe CM via KO too. CM via decision or anything like that is obviously complete and utter lol

Yea maybe hedging with CM by DQ @ 60 to 1 is ok but anything else is just burning money.

Just keep piling on Floyd and wait for the money to come in.
