EagleEye Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 This fight is as stupid as they come. Anyone who pays for this atrocity is stupid. It would be better if McGregor is at least allowed to kick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

helimachoptor Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I get these things free with my company. I'm Irish, but there is zero chance McGregor wins, i could see it going to a decision (small chance) but McGregor is making his money and suckers are paying up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 This is dumb. There's no point in having this fight if only boxing is allowed. The only way this fight would be interesting is if it was anything goes and they only wear MMA gloves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just cant make a fair fight between an elite MMA fighter and an elite boxer. Its two different styles. The only thing you could do is make it MMA with MMA gloves and both fighters just agree to only throw punches. Id favor Mcgregor if that was the case. Hes got power but not enough to KO Mayweather with one punch wearing 10 oz gloves. The lead up to the fight will be the most entertaining thing.

Mayweather could knock him out with one punch. Both guys would have to fight differently than they normally do. A pure boxing match is dumb. It's one guy fighting his fight vs another guy who isn't allowed to use 90% of his talent. We may as well watch a left handed baseball player try to throw a football right handed farther than Aaron Rodgers. It's a pointless competition.

OILERMAN Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I listened to a Vegas sports bettor on a podcast today basically laughing at this fight. He said he knew most handicappers wanted to open the odds at 100-1 for Mayweather but most opened at 40-1 but it's all the way down to 4-1 in some places. All the public money is pouring in on McGregor. He said the pro bettors will pour in on Mayweather at the last minute when the odds are as low as they'll get Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get the odds at the time you place the bet? Or is it like horse racing where you get the final odds no matter when you bet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should atleast donate your money to a good cause rather than give it to the sportsbook lol. I did put $100 on Mcrgregor when it opened at 7-1 but I am pretty confident I will be losing that.

Mercalius Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 It's purely a business decision for both guys everyone knows McGregor will lose. Probably even McGregor, but nothing will be held against him for losing to a generational talent like Mayweather - especially when pretty much no concessions were made that would benefit an MMA fighter. If he goes back to the UFC, he'll be as big as ever with the caveat that Floyd was too scared to even make it a fair fight (maybe scared is a bad word - Floyd has no reason to meet any demands). Boxers win boxing matches. MMA guys win MMA fights. It's not rocket science But even in a loss, this will probability be 5-10x the payday that a legit UFC main event would be. Maybe even more than that. He's cashing in, and as we've seen in MMA it only takes 2-3 fights or 2-3 lucky hits for your star to fade and not draw nearly what you used to. Mayweather gets an easy 200 million that he'll blow through in 2 years and McGregor gets a security nest that even staying on top of UFC for three more years likely wouldn't get him. Smart of both guys. Though I do wish they could've met in the middle on the glove thing. Even giving the illusion that Floyds defensive style could be exposed (it wouldn't) would at least make the fight somewhat tempting to analyze. With the clown-gloves - McGregor has zero chance and it's not even worth pretending he does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
