McGregor vs. Mayweather

[KnightAndDay]

Omfg my ribs hurt.

 

[The Derski]

I just got deja vu and in it McGregor wins. It was a pretty strong deja vu.

A cocky, mouthy white guy vs a cocky, mouthy black guy. Over/Under to the start of Race War in America: 24 days

I'd just like to point out that almost the exact time listed from this post, nazis were marching in the streets.

See, told you this fight was a bad idea.

A behind the scenes look at how the fight came to be

 

[Scapegoat]

It will be worse. If Pacquiao couldn't hit Floyd, how is Conor? It won't go to a decision. Floyd gets a TKO. Conor can't go 12 rounds. He will tire out.

I am hoping Conor gets lucky and KO's Floyd.

I won't be watching this money grab.

McGregor will get dc'd.

 

[Edonidd]

McGregor will get dc'd.

If he gets "dc'd" he doesn't get paid. If he doesn't get DQ'd he makes 100+ million.

People who really think he'll let himself get DQ'd are probably the only ones dumber than those that think he has an actual chance.

Mayweather is gonna win but I laid $100 wager on McGregor.

sets up a higher paying rematch.

I hope they both slip on the way to the ring and twist an ankle.

I put 25 on Mayweather then put 3 on McGregor, cuz I know how to bet real good.

I can probably only afford to lose $100-200 or so right now. But my parents happened to be in Vegas right now so I had my dad put me down for $1k at -500. I still think it's free money and I'm not in the least bit worried.

But hopefully my dad doesn't have to break my kneecaps.

Once heard a horror story from a guy that laid down like 50 g's to win something like 20 bucks for the Yanks to finish out Boston after they went up 3 games to none back in the 04 ALCS. Dude quit betting after that.

Basically, be wary of anyone using the phrase "free money."

Thinking he's making 100 million is incorrect.
And he's not going to be Mayweather's punching bag for 12 rounds without fighting dirty. Also a D/Q doesn't cost him his entire payday.

 

[KnightAndDay]

I can see 2 ways Conor wins this.

1. Floyd takes a dive as someone already said.

2. Floyd gets robbed in a decision. Mayweather's a 40 year old man fighting his last fight. McGregor's in the prime of his career with a lot of upside & he's now the "Money guy" who will probably bring a ton of business to wherever he does most of his fighting.

The interesting thing I think about this fight is Mayweather is not used to a fighter blocking punches with his elbows and forearms and that might hurt his hands more. Big money bets are that McGregor wont even land a punch with the defense of Mayweather and simple points when he counterpunches.[/QUOTE]

If McGregor keeps his elbows up to block I see the fight going like Nunes vs Rousey with McGregor getting knocked out. I see Mayweather waiting for the right opportunity but high elbows wont work for McGregor against an elite boxer who has more hand speed than him.

Pre-fight show on Fox.....prelims start at 4pm.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Dana White is bringing up a great point.....the mental aspect. Comparing McGregor to Ali....Mayweather is great at the mental warfare aspect but that might be one advantage going to McGregor.
