Brian Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 The hype and build will be more entertaining than the fight. Not going to pretend I know boxing strategy but can't see Floyd losing. Both guys getting paid decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 07:32 AM) Easy money for Floyd. Easy money for both. There is no expectation for Mcgregor here. All he has to do is show up, talk s***, get schooled and still get the biggest paycheck of his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Mayweather will knock him out, but I think he'll win by TKO. Similar to the Hatton and Gatti fights, except Mayweather is older and this guy is exponentially worse than them.

Ya I legit don't know if he'll knock him out just cause Floyd is Floyd but I'd be shocked if it wasn't complete domination. I was just saying you won't make any money cause the line is so absurd.

Yeah, there was some talk that Floyd could tank in the first fight to ensure an additional 2 more paydays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt this is for the money. You have to wonder why the gaming commission would sanction this fight (obviously the $$). It completely devalues the sport, taking the best ever or one of the best ever and having him fight someone who has literally never boxed before. But perhaps that's what they want, merging MMA and boxing and this is that transitional step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenryan Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I wish I was in Vegas for this. I would unload everything I got just to win some additional blackjack money on Mayweather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Well I'm feeling better about throwing some money on Mayweather. The line dropped to -500 which isn't terrible if you think he's pretty much a sure thing to win this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line dropped to -500 which isn't terrible if you think he's pretty much a sure thing to win this thing. In boxing, I forget, do you get the line that it ultimately goes off at, like horseracing? Or do you get the line where it was when you actually wagered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line started at -2200 and dropped to -500, so my buddy told me we should lock in ASAP. Can't imagine it staying there very long, seems like a function of really early action.

Books are highly highly leveraged against McGregor. Vegas can't afford for Floyd to lose. If it's rugged it's going in Floyd's favor. He's also betting on himself.

LittleHurt05 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Mayweather is down to like -350. Those are incredible odds, he should be like -2500. If only I had the $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
