those videos are false flags just ask the conor fans

The video is being pretty liberal in its claim that Mcgregror left is about as fast as Pacquia's. It's actually 25% slower (.15 vs. 12), which I'm guessing is a huge difference, especially when up against an elite defender.

Mcgregor's punch is also about 15% weaker (700 lbs vs. 800lbs).

Basically, all these videos/analysis are trying to hype the fight so we stay interested.

Floyd's chin is massively underrated. He can really take a punch when he needs to. Conor isn't going to damage him with just one punch.

"But Floyd was pulling away, which makes the impact weaker!"

Yeah...thats why he's good.

I'd put Carl Weathers circa 1976 at -200 over Conor.

what scares me about this fight is the BS factor. I could totally see floyd throwing this one for a rematch, and it turning into wwe levels of stupidity the night of the fight

he's undefeated, Floyd is not someone I know personally but I doubt personally he'd throw that away.

though mb he decides for a $150m rematch it's worth it

thats what i'm saying. he's already retired and undefeated as a real boxer. this is a gimmick. maybe he says to hell with it let me go superheel and lose and rematch

Don't forget the $150m trilogy fight to determine the definitive winner after Floyd throws the first fight, and makes the second look artificially close to drum up interest for the third!

Floyd cares about his perfect record more than anything else, he's not throwing this unless he can bet $100M on conor and brag about how smart it was. Since he can't brag about throwing a fight, he's not doing it.

That said, there was an ESPN same t with Floyd a while ago where he ranked the top 5 boxers of all time (spoiler: he ranked himself #1) and he docked Ali for losing to Spinks who, at the time, was 6-0-1.

I remember it because Floyd said "He had 7 pro fights, theud never even put someone with 7 pro fights in with me". A loss would be a hilarious end to that clip.

I know boxing is dirty and all but there is literally no one in the sport less likely to throw a fight than Mayweather. There is just no incentive for him to do it. He has the perfect record to protect and has more money in the bank than any other fighter.

We are talking about a guy who can get $25 million for fighting random scrubs.

Good luck getting him to take a dive for less than a billion dollars.

Floyd has made unlimited money, but so had MC Hammer and he went busto. Who knows what his spending habits are.

(or, maybe you do know!)

Floyd seems happy in retirement. I think if/when he beats Conor he'll gladly take his 200m and the 50-0 and live out rest of his life.

A few guys ITT are explaining the insane odds situation but I am not sure if they are trolling.

he's posted pics of accounts with 9 figures in them on social media before. He seems extremely unlikely to go broke.

The time to worry about him throwing the fight will be if like $300mm comes in on Conor in the form of bets as biggest as any book will allow. If you get that then you have to worry Floyd's trying to make $2B instead of $200mm on the fight.

LOL at comparing MC Hammer to Floyd.

MC Hammer had like $30 million at his peak. Floyd makes that for a single fight against a no name.

Talk of a rig is dumb, here's another gif of Manny beating up Floyd:

well he made $33m in 1991, which is like $60m today, but whatever, that's not really the point. the point is people's spending habits can pretty easily match their bank accounts, in legit (investments gone bad) or illegitimate (drugs) or dumb (giving money to anyone who asks) ways.

maybe he bought a minor league baseball team!

Floyd is known to bet 5 figures minimum on sports. Of course he only posts his winnings so we don't know what he loses. I doubt he's that dumb with money though, he is aware that Mike Tyson spent all his money and I'm sure he's more careful.

Plus his crew transports it so you know it's safe

I will say one thing. I definately much prefered my ignorant bliss of Conor's chances when this fight wasnt announced before everyone started breaking it down. Saying that im still on the Conor miracle upset train til it derails in a horrible crash on august 26th

I am already fed up with it, after watching about 50 people giving their opinion on this fight. I need my press conference fix asap.

I don't even understand why the media is crapping all over the fight, it only happened because everytime Conor name got brought up in mainstream media they question him vs mayweather, they created the hype & the demand for it.

What the media is failing to mention is that alot of people in mma have good hands & solid boxing skills that would translate well, they're comparing mma guys to complete amatuers & it's disgusting. Cody garbrandt , joana champion, stipe, nate/nick diaz are all people along with Conor that if they chose boxing instead of mma would do well, outside of skip bayless most of the media is doing a real poor job of promoting it & putting mma striking in a good light.

This article explains the thinking behind current lines: http://www.covers.com/Editorial/Arti...Conor-McGregor

Tl;dr version: bookies are currently happy to offer relatively good odds on McGregor winning because they think there's actually no chance of it happening. The odds will lengthen as we get closer to the fight and more money goes in on a Mayweather win.
