Mayweather vs Mcgregor

[SelfDestruct808]

Looks like it's official
Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor megafight finalized for Aug. 26

[mwash1983]

Mayweather will knock him out in 3 rounds, McGregor will be swinging through air and will be gassed in a hurry.

[Nyfancam01]

Mayweather 100% wins.

[SelfDestruct808]

I wouldn't be shocked if this fight ends in a DQ for Mcgreggor. Cause he'll probably kick or knee mayweather with that MMA mentality.

[NASTY222]

Not watching this garbage.

[BestRCs]

I will be watching this garbage.

[pgisback]

As much as I know this is a money grab... I'll still be watching and contributing to this, most probable, huge waste of time. Neither of these guys will want to get knocked out. Will be lucky if a single punch lands in 12 rounds.

[Inferno]

Not sure Mayweather will knock him out, but he will definitely pick him apart over as many rounds as it takes to win. He's content with going the distance and doing just enough to get the decision without taking any chances. Not sure if McGregor has the patience to play chess with Floyd for twelve rounds so he may start making mistakes late-fight which Floyd will capitalize on.

This will probably be another boring fight like the Pacqiuao bout unless McGregor somehow breaks Floyd's defense and knocks him out. That would be insane.

These are two of the most confident people to ever step into a ring so one way or another somebody is walking away embarrassed.

And this is Dana White's cash cow putting himself at risk here. What if he loses? What does that do for the McGregor brand and the UFC? They have a lot more to lose than Floyd does in my opinion. Dana must be taking in a truckload of cash to agree to this fight.

So whats the over under that Mcgregor at any point during this fight, for whatever reason forgets that he cant do anything but punch and lands a roundhouse kick to the jaw of floyd.

Saying hes getting beat pretty bad and just reverts to what he knows, or lunges and spears him, in a moment of panic.

I'm just seeing this now. curious as to if I'm the only one thinking, wondering, maybe wishing this happens

[pgisback]

I just notice -1100, haha. Vegas ain't giving McGregor much of a chance

I disagree with this. McGregor has absolutely nothing to lose with this fight. The built in excuse is already there...that this was a boxing match and not a MMA fight. What if, just what if McGregor tags Floyd? Floyd's first loss comes to a non boxer? Floyd has everything to lose with this fight, but in reality no one but the fan will lose.

It was -2200 last week before the fight was finalized. It's come down quite a bit since and I bet it comes down even more. A lot of people will say what the hell and put money on McGregor just cause the line is so huge.

I see this happening. I boxed for 4 years before I started doing MMA. When I would go box with real boxers it was very hard not to throw kicks or go for a power double.

Completely agree with this post. This is nothing more than a money grab for McGregor and obviously to a lesser extent Mayweather. McGregor will make more money off this one fight than he will in multiple fights with the UFC, my guess is damn near retirement money.

He's already hinted at retirement once and his unhappiness with pay from the UFC. This may be the pay day he's looking for to just hang it up and be done. Fans be damned.

[cowboyzqna]

Money. Mayweather wins easily. Mcgregor walks away. (After he fight nate one last time) He made a ton with what he had. Can't blame the guy...


Now can moving forward who else will the UFC let box? Any Ideas?

Come on now, Mayweather hasn't knocked a fighter out in what, 8, 9 years. He'll dance around and showboat, then Conor will catch him with a left outta nowhere and make it rain on him while he is trying to remember where he is. The real big money is in the rematch (Mayweather by split decision) and the HUGE money is in the 3rd and final rubber match. By the end of it these two will be printing thier own money. Thats Entertainment!

[mgugs46]

I'm betting McGregor. I know Mayweather won't knock him out, and at +700, why not?

[Undertaker1562]

Floyd wins easily. Can't see how a guy with no professional boxing bouts is gonna go in the ring and KO an all time great. Mcgregor is doing this for the $$$. He's gonna create so much hype and cash in for that one big payday. I can't blame him really he might not have to fight in the UFC for long after this payday.

[NoleinJax]

How come the odds are so low for this since absolutely no one, except Conor and his fans think he has a chance. Shouldn't he be a 25-1 dog or greater since this is his first boxing match and Mayweather is one of the best boxers ever according to most boxing pundits? +700 seems awfully low. How many here that think there's no chance of Mayweather losing would lay $11,000 to win $1,000?

If they feel any embarrassment, I'm sure the feeling will subside once they receive their full fight purse and any PPV shares.

Yeah i was looking at a line online and it was +400. That is insane for comparison Jeff Horn is +450 against Pacquiao. So your telling me Mcgregor who has no pro boxing experience has a better chance to beat Mayweather than Jeff Horn does in beating Pacquiao. Also Floyd to win by Unanimous Decision at +187 seems like a really good bet.

The reason he was at +400 is due to the insane amount of people who threw down bets on him at the opening odds at +800 or +700. The guy could be 0-55 but if enough people place bets on him, it affects the money line.

The fight is currently Floyd -700 McGregor +525

Right on point.
90% of the bets are on Mcgregor but big money is being placed on Floyd at the same time.
Mcgregor will be fatigued by end of fourth round if he makes it that far.
Floyd is 40 and doesn't have the power to knock any elite fighter out but Mcgregor will be a standing target in the ring.
Both fighters walk away with insane amount of money and Mcgregor and UFC really made this happen and for a guy that's never made more than $3mil per fight will make $50+ mil (If all the reports are half accurate) if the PPV sales are what they expect to be.
Both fighters are winners and we are all fools who will pay $99.99 for this sideshow.

Make it an MMA fight, and see what the odds are then

Yup...it's hard to stop what you know. When I played club level college lacrosse, we had our first practice indoors in January. Coach told us that any shots on goal needed to be a ground ball and at most 75% of full speed. What happened when I scooped the first ground ball during the scrimmage and was 5 yards from the goal? I fired it as hard as I could on a line. The goalie didn't expect it, so he just turned his back on the shot. It drilled him in the kidneys and the poor guy ended up peeing blood for a few days. I felt awful, and the coach wasn't at all happy with me. I could totally see MacGregor doing an MMA move.
