I'm confident I don't regularly speak to anyone who would he able to identify GGG OR Canelo. Whereas mayweather would be identified by quite a lot so it's not really surprising
Plus heavy fav vs underdog is much more attractive odds to casual punters and people 'buying' money than even matched fights. I don't think anyone is interested in this fight. I'll buy it but I'm looking forward to the build up way more than fight night |

I've never seen a UFC fight so I don't know anything about McGregor.
What is his chin like lads? |

According to Jim Lampley he says Conor McGregor is a counterpuncher, his boxing style is to let the opponent to come on him, and only throws 35-40 punches a round. If this is true this will be a horrendous spectacle, as he's never going to do this to Floyd Mayweather, and Floyd is hardly one to open up.

It wouldnt surpise me at all if Mcgregor gets DSQ. Just rewatch the Marquez fight and he couldnt get near Floyd for 12 rounds. Mcgregor is going to look like a complete mug unless he grapples hatton style but even then Mayweather will destroy him.
McGregor generally around 9/2, the worlds gone mad Ill he having huge bet on Mayweather within 12. |

@wisewords as floyd would tell you 49 have tried and failed

McGregor likes to be within kicking distance of his oppoenent (I don't say), does give you the feeling it will be a defensive fight and may go on longer than expeted, but the only way he can win is if he goes all out in the first 2 rounds, he will end up punching himself out trying to knock him out that early but it's the only chance he has.

By:
fully agree with that breakdown, sh. what he does/how much success he has in round 1 is very, very important.

People seem to have lost all sense of reality.
Conor Mcgregor is nothing special in MMA. He's a mega star from his persona not his ability. He is 1-1 with Nate Diaz who is a very, very average fighter The notion that you can give an MMA fight a 1 year crash course in boxing and he can beat one of the best boxers of all time is bonkers. |
|
By:
nate diaz is not an average fighter haha, and saying conor is nothing special in mma is pretty ott considering what he acheived and the way he did it..
1.2 on FM is a gift though... |

By:
Mayweather at 1.73 to win by KO, TKO, or DQ looks a fantastic bet. I really can't believe that price.
|
|
By:
Is there any valid reason to believe that the result of the fight isn't already known/agreed by both the fighters?
I heard the PPV was 80 pounds. I hope they have that much worth of entertainment in the fight. Or they really believe the poeple watching are stupid? Its an entertainment gig and there is no entertainment in watching Mayweather beat McGregor. I am expecting some sort of disqualification or a draw, after some drama and controversy. Already on the draw at 100 but im just betting on the result of an entertainment show. |

Mayweather is just going to dominate this fight, Mcgregor wont appreciate the domination, he will then either push, kick, headbutt or throw the corner stool at him. Mcgregor to have a point deducted at 3/1 or be disqualifed in rounds 1-6 AT 10/1 look good. One of the biggest mismatches in boxing history! But i will still be paying £19.95 to watch it

McGregor gonna surprise a LOT of experts.....
|
|
By:
Mayweather won't want to finish him early - a KO in 35 seconds would mean a lot of peed off people paying...?
That somewhat puts you off the domination view for Mayweather? |
|
By:
I would however back Mayweather to win inside the distance, a few rounds of 'show' followed by taking control later in the fight and a finish, surely decent bet?
|
|
By:
I'm backing the Draw and laying Mayweather - will trade back and forth -this is a freak show where freaky things happen - it has to be a humdinger and entertaining or there will never be another money making fights like this across the 2 sports.
Big money to made in these type of Markets if a trading position is taken - so much liquidity. You can right now lay Mayweather for over 440k - ive only ever made one lay trade in my life and that was Hillary clinton at 1.13 - so hopefully it works out for me. Gl all |

what price conner to throw a kick
|
|
By:
Rozel, think that would be a speculative approach if Mayweather was a shorter price, but seems like he's more like 1.26 when he should really be 1.05 to win this.
|
|
By:
I jumped on at 1.77 for the TKO, KO, DQ for Mayweather, with a saver on him by Decision - can't see Mac making the full 12 rounds, but if he does can't see them stripping Mayweather's unbeaten record here either.
|
|
By:
With the DQ thrown in, that means if Mac forgets which sport he's in you can win that way too

By:
This glorified Gouger doesn't deserved the payday nor the publicity, lets hope father time hasn't caught up on the greatest pound for pound boxer and Mayweather knocks seven sh1ts out of him.

I've already commented more than I intended to on this, but I guess it is a compelling event, whatever else you think about it from a boxing point of view. Anyway here is my view, (admittedly, I know little or nothing about MMA) for what it's worth. Mayweather is probably the best pound - for - pound boxer since Ali, or at least since Leonard/Hagler. McGregor is a complete novice. As a boxing match it is probably the one of the biggest mis-matches ever. There's little point in analysing the styles, weaknesses etc, as Mayweather has less weaknesses than almost any fighter I have seen, and McGregor has too many to list. The price for Mayweather to win is almost unbelievable. Although it's not the best value I've ever seen, as there have been a lot over the years, mainly due to the ignorance of casual boxing fans, (not meant as a criticism, rather a realistic view of the level of knowledge among people who watch big fights, and bet on them) and geographical bias, often in favour of over-hyped British fighters.
I think that McGregor looked out of his depth at the weigh in, it was awkward watching him. It is probably now dawning on him just how difficult a task he faces. When the fight starts McGregor will be stung and shocked at just how easily Mayweather is able to hit him and avoid his own wild swipes. It is extremely frustrating and sickening when you come up against an opponent who is much quicker and better than you, and can hit you at will. This will demoralise Mcgregor and will probably make his blood boil. As an MMA fighter, McGregor will not have the discipline or the temperament to deal with this kind of humiliation, and the chances are that he will lose his temper and do something against the rules, maybe several times. I'm sure the referee will give him a certain amount of leeway, and will let him of with a few warnings. For the sake of the audiences, as much as anything else, most people will want to see some semblance of a fight. And I believe that Mayweather has little to lose in making it a bit closer than it could be. If he can set up a rematch or another fight like this one, he might be tempted to avoid making a complete fool of McGregor, and finishing him early. For this reason, I don't believe that the fight will end in the 1st round as some have speculated. I think that it will go 3 or 4 rounds, at least, before McGregor is stopped, disqualified or quits. I wouldn't rule out a points decision entirely, though I think it is unikely. I've included Mayweather in an accumulator, and probably won't stay up to watch it. If I do put any other bet on it, it would be either a moderate bet on a stoppage of some kind, or a single bet on DQ, if I can find a DQ only market. I think that a stoppage is extremely likely, and quite possibly by Disqualification. |

The best analogy i saw was it is like the Olympic Decathlon gold medal winner challenging Usain Bolt to a 100M race.
Anderson Silva was way above Conor in MMA and he tried boxing and was KO'd by a journeyman. |

9/2 for Floyd to settle this in the first 4 rounds is HUGE IMO.

conor gonna spark this mug out inside 3 and alot of people going to lose BIG

By:
If this fight hasn't been choreographed by Vince McMahon, then in the real world, Floyd should have it wrapped up in 3 rounds tops.
If this is just a pure money spinner fight, then I hope all the people involved lose all credibility, if they haven't already. |

His flawless record is on paper only and doesn't really mean anything when it comes to his legacy or where his placed amongst the greats, he has never fought a single Top fighter in their prime, you don't measure the quality of an opponent by quantity of wins because by that logic, he's no greater than Calzaghe, it's by the quality of boxer they've beat, Fraud Mayweather says he is greater than Ali, who on Mayweather's CV was of the same calibre, albeit in their own respective weight class, as the level of oppoenents Ali beat on his? Mayweather thinks he's greater because he never lost a fight, it's easy to never lose a fight when you delay them for 6 years and get one when their injured a la Pacquiao, Ali as a 32 year old beat an 40 fight undefeated George forman at the age of 25 who had beat Norton and Frazier in 2 of his last 3 fights, that defines greatness.
It is fair to say however that nobody has come close to beaten him, can even disregard the first Castillo fight as he was injured and showed the gulf in class in the rematch. This is a big risk for Mayweather and that makes him beatable, people keep drawing attention to McGregor's flaws but Mayweather has them too, his 40 years old against a 27 year old in his prime, he hasn't fought for 2 years, he has in the past albeit momentarily, been troubled by southpaw boxers of which McGreogor is one, and in all likliness, is facing the most unorthodoxed fight he'll ever come across, there's no doubt should Conor get the chance, he will be pulling off any illegal move he can, Ward does it and gets away with it. |

By:
Mayweather's ability to take a punch with his amazing hand speed leaves Conor Mc Gouger in a position where he'll have to resort to a move thats illegal in every walk of life. How is this muppet getting paid to box.
