Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor

[jmkratt]

McGregor is laughing all the way to the bank.

[Speilmen230]

Floyd by points and unanimous decision.

Rooting for McGregor to knock his block off.

if you say boxing isn't good anymore you're not paying attention. Canelo/GGG fight is as big as any fight in the 90s. Both in their prime.

[Tiduwho]

Im thinking at some point in the mid-rounds when Conor is getting handily beaten, he will bring Floyd down with a takedown tackle, a brief stoppage occurs with fake fighting between both sides, the ref warns both sides, and then the fight continues with Floyd back in control for the remainder.

Afterwards, the talk will be all about the "i forgot i wasnt in the octagon, it was just instincts" tackle from Conor.

Connor's ground game is not good. Floyd would probably choke him out

There are so many great fighters right now. Bradley, Ward, Kovalev, Crawford, Lomachenko, GGG, Canelo, Anthony Joshua, Deontae Wilder etc. It's a wonderful time to be a fan.

They're going to go 1-1 against each other. They will settle it at Wrestlemania. (Dana still owes Vince an in-ring appearance by one of his fighters for letting Brock do UFC 200, lol. Thanks for sucking at fighting people who can actually fight Ronda.)

[jrkarger]

Mayweather via DQ as a result of Pacquiao running in and interfering.

[scrock25]

[Roose13]

"Bah God, that's Pacquiao's music! My, we haven't seen him since he last fought Mayweather! We're pickin' up for a slobber-knocker now!"

He does this after Floyd is starting to take a beating from Connor. After Pac Man interfered and hits Money, he picks Mayweather up, they hug, and a new heel super team is born!

Mayweather via decision. That's easy. Maybe mayweather gets the TKO if Conor runs out of steam, but Floyd didn't become 49-0 against great boxers by taking silly chances. He's faced the best of his generation and nobody touched him, Conor won't either. Mayweather is the best defensive boxer in the last 20 years, and sure the Paq fight was "boring", but it was also a masterclass in defense and evasion and well timed counters. MMA would be a different story. Boxing? Conor has a slight chance to come out quick and overwhelm him, but with boxing there are so many ways to tie up and still that out, I don't see it working. Buy it for the spectacle, not for the competition.

[artiej1120]

Apparently there's language in the contract that Conor loses a fuck ton of money if he tries anything MMA related: takedowns, elbows, kicks, grappling

[Drwbllz]

I don't see McGregor having the stamina to go twelve rounds. Mayweather by TKO.

What does -900 mean for betting?

Bet 900 to win 100.

[artiej1120]

I think Mayweather toys with him for a few rounds then puts him away in 5 or 6

Okay that makes sense. So +1300 means you get 1300 if you get 100?

The Manny/Mayweather fight was $90 SD, $100 HD I think. It will probably be the same.

Lomachenko is already my fav fighter of all time. I just wish someone would fight him. Where you at Mikey Garcia? Lomachenko already said he'd move up 2 weight classes to fight him

yeah, it won't be less than $100 for HD

[pathetic]

a lot of good UFC/boxing fights this summer. probably looking forward to GGG/canelo and Chocolatito/Sor Runvisai more than anything though

I'm so used to wrestling PPV prices (from years ago, Thanks WWE Network) that I fucked up here. Hard.

Not that much of a boxing fan, but this has the chance to be a really great fight. Reminds me of one of the great 80s matchups.

[pathetic]

I mean this summer is going to be nuts for boxing fans

Kovalev/Ward II tomorrow
Mike Garcia/Adrien Broner in July
GGG/Canelo in August
Sor Rungvisai/Chocolatito II in August
#10 on pound for pound list Naoya Inoue makes his USA debut on the Chocolatito card and is the projected next challenger of that fight.
Pacquiao/Horn in July
McGregor/Mayweather
