Zero reason to bet on Floyd bro. The odds make it totally not worth it.

Also canelo vs golovkin 3 weeks later will be the much better fight.

McGregors got this

I've never actually bet money on anything. Not too sure about how the odds work, but if it's still only 30% payoff of the initial money, that's money in the pocket.

I would 100% bet on Floyd for that reason, but I might not bet at all seeing how Floyd might throw the fight. It's too scary. His nickname isn't Money Floyd for no reason

Obviously Floyd is going to win, but nothing is certain.

If you were to bet $1000 on Floyd right now, You're looking at winning around $180 with most lines in Vegas. Not worth it at all IMO. Wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole.

I did however just put in a bet for my friend using my account this AM. 500 on Conor to win 2125. Dumb bet, but he wanted it.

Now, what I'll personally be betting on is the Over/Under. Right now its 9.5 rounds, I think I'm going to wait on it, and then take the over. Floyd has zero chance of knocking out Conor, and Conor has no chance of knocking out floyd. My only concern is if Conor gets DQ'd early if his instincts kick in and start doing some UFC shit while hes dazed.

More interested in GGG vs  Canelo

easy win for mayweather

No, it isn't.

Pretty sure the biggest match of the century was two years ago, and it was boring as fuck.

Why don't you get out of this thread or ask people who actually know shit about the sports to educate yourself?

This just in:

Not only does Desty not think Mayweather vs Pacquiao was a bigger fight then this (everybody knows mcgregor is doomed) he also thinks that the snooze fest was INTERESTING.

They walked in circles afraid to make a move on each other for twelve rounds, and made more than any other event in history, so no matter how you approach this, you're wrong.

This fight should be more interesting at least.

Wrong. This is the first time that a major boxing name is going to fight a major MMA fighter. You may not like it but its history in the making and will probably influence more fights like this in the future.

Wrong again. How did they walk in circles afraid to hit each other if Mayweather ended up landing WAY more punches than Pacquiao? The strategy in boxing isn't to just stand there and take punches like most casual watchers believe. You gotta move around the ring, tire out your opponent, and strike when they're vulnerable. Mayweather is the best one in the business at doing that and because of that he has victories over guys like De La Hoya, Hatton, Judah, Gatti, Mosley, and Marquez... all legendary boxing names. A lot of people tend to forget that most of Mayweather's victories are from KO. Plus Mayweather is a welterweight and the guys in that weight class can pretty much box forever without getting tired.

They were of course, contractually obligated to trade blows, but that fight was fuckin boring.

Anyway, Boxer vs MMA fighter is the same shit they did with Rocky vs Hulk Hogan.
It just means they've run out of ideas.

Frankly I don't think this fight should happen anymore than the Patriots should play Manchester United.

Oh boohoo, the fight didn't turn into a slugfest so someone who knows as much about fighting as a 13 year old couldn't appreciate the finer parts of the fight. You should ask for a refund

Anyway, boxer vs MMA fighter doesn't, and SHOULDN'T happen, because mma has boxing in it, but instead of sharpening their moves and developing their boxing alone, they have to train in two other forms of fighting, and then they have to use styles that incorporates all those martial art forms. This means that they train to use their body, whereas a boxer trains to punch and punch only.

It's the same type of training, but boxers just have more time practicing. For this reason MMA vs boxer doesn't make sense. It's not an MMA fighter vs a boxer, it's a well known MMA fighter that goes into the ring as a boxer vs a world start boxer. The only reason this fight happened was because reporters and fans wanted it so much they kept hyping it up or talking about it for a year. 

The fight doesn't make sense, but it's still bigger than Floyd vs Manny. If you still don't think so, you seriously need a chin check

Nothing is going to change the fact that you'd be lucky to make bantamweight, tough guy.
You think too much with your television set if you believe that MMA fighters and Boxers train the same way.

Go study martial arts for a few years, bring back some gold medals, and then I might entertain the idea that we're peers.

and no, I never said that MMA fighters and Boxers train the same way. I just said they practice the same form of punching.
