You guys are going to be in for a surprise when they face off and you see that McGregor is noticeably bigger - height, reach, hand size, head size, everything. I put $750 on McGregor when the odds were 700+. Will be collecting my $5000 shortly.
yeah right.....

Yeah right. Might as well have just flushed it down the toilet. Hope you aren't counting on that 5k to pay off all your other stupid bets.

He does have a shot, and I hope the guy does win the bet. Anyone knocking Lameweathers sorry ass out would be a good thing.

Aww man, I assumed this would be an MMA fight not a boxing fight. Conor is going to get his ass whooped but then again, for $100M I'd fight both of them at the same time so can't blame him for agreeing.

I've been watching McGregor's rise since 2013, and I think he is going to win handily. Will be quoting this post on 8/26.

I think people see this Irish dude with dumb tattoos named McGregor and they think he's just a sloppy brawler with 1 trick. In reality, his striking is some of the most precise and technical in the UFC, he is athletically gifted, and has an unbreakable mindset - all backed up by a nearly perfect MMA record. On top of all that, he's in his prime.

MMA boxing's nothing like actual boxing. The best MMA boxers would get lit up and destroyed by even a golden glove level boxer. One of the better MMA boxers vs one of the best technical boxers of all time? Yeah, this Connor is going to look stupid. The best boxers couldn't touch Floyd, not a chance in hell an MMA guy can do anything at all. Even as cocky as he is, he knows he can't win, this is the biggest payday of the Irish mans life, And that's why he's doing it. Go back and watch Floyd vs Canelo, or any of Floyd's fight. I won't be quoting your post on 8/26 because you're either trolling, or just clueless about boxing.

I laughed at the unbreakable mindset, I seem to remember 2 years ago he was getting outboxed by Nate Diaz and ended up giving up and pulling guard with a BJJ wiz so he wouldn't have to keep fighting. Don't care he won the rematch, the 1st fight, yeah. And even if he doesn't give up here. He got jabbed to death by Diaz, so how do you think he'll handle getting jabbed by one of the best ever?

Diaz is taller, bigger and has the longer reach.

This time MacGregor is one who's taller, bigger and has the longer reach

While that is true it has no baring, why? Mayweather's has about a 5,000 times better jab and is way faster than Diaz. So that will more than make up for the lack of size. Connor couldn't keep from getting hit by Diaz. Floyd will jab him at will, and his jab's a lot harder. This fight shouldn't have even been sanctioned that's how big of a mismatch it is. Just goes to show you the power of money.

glad we now both agree that the Diaz fight has no bearing on the Mayweather fight.

dealing with a taller/longer fighter is a very different puzzle than dealing with Mayweather, how he deals with one gives approximately zero clue as to how he will deal with the other

You know who's about Connor's size, if not a bit bigger? Canelo Alverez. And in terms of boxing, well I went to California public schools so I'm unable to calculate how much better of a boxer than Connor he is . I just know it's a big ass number. Canelo was unable to hit Floyd, one of the best boxers today who will probably go down top 50 of all time looked silly in there against Mayweather. Canelo's immeasurably better everywhere than Mac. Floyd had no puzzle to solve with Canelo, so yeah, Connor's size won't present any sort of puzzle for Mayweather. Could I be wrong here? absolutely not. This fight's a joke and is only happening because of the huge $$$$$$$ involved.

When's the last time Mayweather knocked someone out? I think he's going to get one in the middle rounds.

De La Hoya was also huge compared to Mayweather (and more so against Pac, but that is another story). McGregor may be amazing in MMA, but he won't stand a change against Floyd.

Ortiz, when he had his hands down, it still took 2 hits, but it was legal.
And who was the last guy that actually ran at Floyd and exposed himself to be knocked out? Guys talk like Floyd can't hit hard. He doesn't have to and guys are afraid to just bum rush him because they know it will come.

Over half of his 49 wins came via ko. His fighting style isn't him trying to knock people out. And to be fair to him many of his opponents in his last 15 bouts haven't been knocked out by anyone, or rarely. Canelo never been knocked out, same with Madeina. Cotto 2 times in 45 fights and 1 of them had illegally loaded their gloves with plaster to do it. Marquez 0 kos in 40 fights. Mosley 1 ko in 60 fights. DLH 2 times in 40 fights. Judah 3 times in 50 fights. He was the first person to ko Hatton. For a non brawler he actually had a lot of ko wins, and he always fights tough ass dudes.

Conor McGregor will put Floyd Mayweather to sleep inside the first round, says Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury has backed Conor McGregor to end Floyd Mayweather inside 35 seconds in their super-fight on August 26.

The former unified heavyweight champion believes McGregor will knock Mayweather out inside the first round and hand a win to the ‘real’ people of the world.

McGregor has zero boxing experience, but is an accomplished striker in the UFC.

The Irishman has a famous left hook and Fury predicted Mayweather will meet the same fate as Jose Aldo did when McGregor knocked him out in their featherweight title fight.

‘I think McGregor will do him in one round,’ he told iFL TV.

‘I think he will knock him out inside the first 35 seconds like he did to Jose Aldo, to be honest.

‘It would be good for boxing if McGregor chinned him.

‘It would be great for the real people of the world.’

Should I put $10k on Mayweather in Vegas for guaranteed money?

Isn't the payout absurdly low? Like you would win $500 or some bullshit like that on a $10K bet? If that is the case I wouldn't bet anything on Mayweather and can't believe people actually are putting money on him.

Right now you have to bet $600 to win $100 on Lameweather. Odds change as money gets bet, that's the job of odds makers, to spread the money evenly.

Which is why you should wait until closer to the fight when the morons putting their money on Conor make it a much better better bet.

Why is anyone actually interested in this? Everyone is saying there is too much money in this fight for it not to happen. Too much money from where? I have yet to hear anyone say they give 2 shits about these 2 boxing each other.
If you still haven't heard, then I have terrible news for you...Donald Trump is president.

What a circus these press conferences have been!

I kind of agree with the people claiming McGregor is being a bit racist when calling Mayweather 'boy'. Lol, anything for a dollar, I suppose. Everyone is talking McGregor in the news now, despite him having zero experience and realistically no chance.
