So you did the right thing...and gave him McGregor at +250 for as much as he wanted, right?!

Grunching, but this event is hilarious. I'll be rooting for Conor because I think Floyd is a bit much. But lol at McGregor's having any credible chance beyond riggage, which, ok, might be 10%ish? Not sure. But I'm pretty sure about what would happen in a fair fight. It's like if you took an olympic decathlete and had him compete in a winner-take-all 400 yd dash vs Secretariat. Oh I'm totally gonna watch because of the curiosity factor and because of jacks of spades squirting cider facials, but please.

Thx, I mainly agree. I suggested him to take rounds 1-6, with some extra on rounds 2, 3 & 4. I liked the idea, so I put some on it as well.

Mc gregor advantages: age, size of gloves, possibility of the fight being rigged.
Floyds advantages: everything else

I mean you're right all the intangibles are in mcgregor's court, + the weight and size stuff.

Obviously if mayweather was in his prime, andd both were 150 pounds on fight day with 100% guarantee of no funny business, odds would be like 30 to 1 minimum

Sky bet offering 2/7 on Mayweather win. Is this free money?

2/7 is wicked good but there is some risk mate. CM will fight his heart out but FM might not.

2/7 is as good as it gets, but the risk is in the fight not being an actual fight. what are the chances that floyd is willingly throwing the fight?

The Brits went nuts for Ricky Hatton, banging drums and singing. The phillipinos follow Pacquiao everywhere and adore him. The Mexican fans don't even have to be mentioned with all their losses to this man.

The Irish should expect the same butthurt from Mayweather as the others.

IMO McGregor's game plan is he is basically going to be trying to get disqualified from the opening bell and using that as a set-up for the left.

I think there is an easy argument to make that the best result possible for both fighters is McGregor disqualification so they can do the fight again.

I expect a ton of low blows and the Freddie Roach short hook that when the fist doesn't land the elbow does.

IMO none.
Mayweather is a fight promoter at this point and it would straight up not be worth destroying the TMT brand because the discounted future cash flow of TMT in the next 25 years is worth more than a second fight.

You can just use Mayweather's ultra competitiveness as a moat and not even factor it in here.

You are the best, don't stop.

This is the dumbest comment I've heard yet, and that says a lot.

I'm having some last minute jitters. Any time I say something is a sure thing alarm bells go off in my head.

Floyd's got this, right?

(Rolling head side to side, bouncing up and down)

We got this, right guys?

Anyone betting the under thinking floyd finishes conor quick should do the honourable thing and donate the winnings to charity when conor puts floyd to sleep
