I kind of agree with the people claiming McGregor is being a bit racist when calling Mayweather 'boy'. Lol, anything for a dollar, I suppose. Everyone is talking McGregor in the news now, despite him having zero experience and realistically no chance.

There is talk about how they are friends, flew on the same plane together etc etc. Who knows whats true, Conor always does this stuff, its nothing new, I could see them being in on it to get as much money as possible being made.
 
that's the feeling I'm getting since these press conferences have started. it's all a big scam, which is why I won't bet any money on this WWE match

When's the last time Mayweather knocked someone out?

I heard it was 1999.

I don't understand the angst over Connor's mouth. Has the taunting and shit talking that clearly got to Aldo been forgotten already? Probably a lost cause to expect respect from a guy who has already referred to you as "a bald headed dumb twat," just saying.

Mental warfare people, looks like it's working too.

They are laughing to the bank together.

These guys aren't getting a dime from me.

2011 against Ortiz, with him trying to hug Lameweather, he got knocked out, it still took 2 shots, but it was legal.

interesting list of odds here

this one seems like a good bet to me, safer than betting on floyd to win:
Will Conor McGregor be knocked down or out?
Yes -300 (1/3)
No +200 (2/1)

also more confirmation that the odds are only close (and have gotten closer, floyd only -500) because the books are hedging against a possible upset where they'd be facing a catastrophic payout

It's morons betting on Conor. Places have even released numbers claiming like 80% of bets were on Conor, and like 80% of the money was on Floyd due to much larger bets.
 
This is funny:

Generally the sportsbooks don't "hedge". They just (try to) balance the action on both sides by moving the line/odds.
 
Conor got this. His movement is nothing like Floyd has ever seen. Without the threat of a kick or a takedown this will be like a layup drill for Conor. Everyone tried to pick apart Floyd and gets caught jumping forward. Conor is a master at getting in range and slipping out while popping in ultra quick jabs and hooks. Floyd can run if he's forced to engage with someone standing right in front of him with his hands down.

While I certainly want Conor to win by death, I still think its your typical boring ass Lameweather wins by decision fight.

Don't get me wrong, I think Floyd is the better boxer. My view is how hard could it possibly be for Conor, master of mind games, to trick a guy who cant read into making a mistake? I also think Conor is the MMA version of Floyd, except he's in his prime knocking people out still.

Lol, none of this is right except the first sentence. Conor is not the MMA version of Floyd. If anyone, it would be someone like Woodley, because he wins and people hate his fights. Eventually, if he wins enough, people will come in to watch him lose.
 
" We not talking about no contract. We not talking about no contract for no 4 years, or no contract for no 5 years. I can do it in 36 minutes. $300 (million) or better. In 36 minutes."

That's Lameweather and his master use of the English language. Him bragging about how much money he will make from the fight.
 
Some dude is arguing with me about Lameweather would also beat Conor in an MMA fight. His argument is Conor wouldnt be able to take Lameweather down.

Fixed, was suppose to say wouldn't be able to take Lameweather down. He thinks Conor cant wrestle.
Click to expand...

he is a moron

1. Conor can most definitely wrestle
2. Conor doesn't have to wrestle. He can just kick Mayweather's legs all day long.

If Conor has a 1% chance against Mayweather in boxing, Mayweather has a 0.0001% chance against Conor in MMA. Basically he has to hope Conor slips and knocks himself out.

Lameweather has zero chance in an MMA fight, at least Conor does have some kind of chance in the boxing match. The guy also said name one person Conor has submitted, so I posted Dave Hill 2012, rear naked choke, his response was not UFC.
 
Thinking about going to see it live.

Downside is it's $40 a ticket at the local cinema. And 4 hours. And starts at like 8pm EST.

And, you think McGregor isn't going to gas incredible fast like he did against Diaz both times? His hands will be down and there is likely to be a stoppage later in the fight.

He gassed the first time because he wasn't used to carrying all that muscle at 170.
