Mayweather v. McGregor

> bet 5k on conor and become a literal millionaire
mcgoober is at 15/2 now.

>>74651330
9/1*
Use oddschecker my man
But fuck that shit I'm betting on Floyd by KO at 5/4

>>74651246
Good luck finding 200-1 odds on Conor

>>74653152
I like that. Conor will punch himself out going for the kill in the first 3 rounds and get gassed. Once he's tired, Floyd will pick him apart and eventually KO him in the 8th-10th. Conor doesn't have the cardio to box for 36 minutes

>>74651246
Are mmafaggots so delusional to think a guy with minimal talent and experience can beat a generational talent like Mayweather at his own sport?
You have to be trolling, no one on planet earth could possibly be as retarded as you are presenting yourself to be.

>>74653152
>floyd
>ko

he has to throw punches for that to happen

Imagine the race baiting for this fight

Black America would tune in just to watch a white guy get beat by a black guy and they'd love it

Why would boxing GOAT(according to himself) even bother fighting some literally who?

I haven't been keeping up. Is this actually happening?

Fighting isn't a sport

>>74656677
It's his fanbase. Like any other, they're going to root for their guy and some do actually know so little so as to think he can win, whereas others are just into the unpredictable nature of combat sport

>>74656932
This desu. He gets the biggest money fight to become 50-0 while also having it be his easiest fight

>>74651246
Please give me a quick rundown. How on earth it was decided that they will box? Shouldnt be a version of MMA-lite in which they are more equal?

Why is McGregor being so retarded?

>prefer boxing to MMA
>hate Gayweather and want him to lose

i don't know who to root for senpai.

>>74657007
Money. Mayweather isn't going to agree to kickboxing. Conor will make more money fighting Floyd than he's ever done in the UFC
Even if he loses, all he has to say is he took a risk and then call Mayweather a pussy by inviting him to a "real" fight inside the Octagon, which Mayweather obviously won't accept

>>74657007
>How on earth it was decided that they will box?
McGregor called him out first. Floyd would never (and rightfully so) fight him in any other rule set.

Is this going to be the biggest fighting event ever?

>>74657025
'no'

>>74657025
If it does happen, sure.

the reddit fight

>>74657007
UFC is so pathetic that they've had to build their fighters up by shit talking a guy in a different sport. McGregor and Rousey only became famous because they spent every living moment talking shit about Floyd.

>>74657072

Gayweather doesn't throw when it's an opponent he fears. He will analyze McMeme the first two rounds and pick him apart the rest of the way, it's going to look like straight bullying tßh

>>74657011
Gayweather. I've been watching MMA since pancrase/UFC's birth and I can't stand the MMA community, especially these McGoober faggots

what weight class will they fight at? obviously conor feels more at home at 155 but what is floyd's ideal weifhrclass?

>>74657124
146

Floyd wins but not with a KO, the match will be very tame. They both get an obscene ammount of money, Floyd gets his streak to 50 and McGregor gets even more pubblicity, then he will say he barely lost and challange Floyd to an MMA match wich he'll obviously refuse and will claim he's a pussy and walk away with his ego restored

>>74657081
lmao i bet you were one of those dumbfucks who thought women """""fighters"""" could beat up boxers. fuck out of here faggot

Shit, I'd have to bet $100 just to win $12. Not even worth it. Now wonder bookies make so much money. Only people betting are going to pick the white boi who will obviously lose.

>>74657162
I'd be willing to bet money that this is what's going to ahppen

Will it be a 12 rounders ?
If it's not it's lame.
Conor could win because he's not a boxer, he doesn't move like one and doesn't punch like one, his biggest flaw could his biggest advantage but honestly he won't be able to control the distance with his footwork and he'll eat a lot of shots

>>74657333
Kek this isn't how it works
He doesn't "move" like a boxer because he's not boxing. Put him in a boxing ring and he will. There's a clip of him sparring with a former boxer, he got tagged a bit

Golovkin isn't dropping that weight at his age and there's no way Mayweather would fight a fully fledged MW with that kind of power.

>>74657496
Who's gonna fight him then? Any sensible boxer would duck this fight in a heartbeat, unless they wanna get destroyed for whatever reason

>>74657504
>Who's gonna fight him then?
Who? Mayweather?

>>74657516
nah golovkin

>>74657519
He's fighting Daniel Jacobs next, after that who knows. Besides Canelo, he could fight Charlo, Murata (if he gets passed N'Dam) or Saunders for the title. He could always move up to SMW, but I believe he wants to unify @ MW, and by the time he does he'll be close to 40 and probably retire.

If you think Conor is gonna try to box him, you're stupid. If they would fight, Conor is gonna try to bend the rules as far as possible, if not break them. He won't give a fuck; hes gonna makes tens of millions this fight and make him even more infamous.

This fight is a no-brainer for McGregor. He loses, it doesn't matter - he was fighting outside of his sport and gets to say something like "We put on a good show for the fans." He wins, and he's legendary.

I hope not too many people are actually praising him for this and will give it to him if he loses.

>>74656677
you're right... Any thoughts about the
>conor is a bigger southpaw and 12 years younger
argument?

>>74657162
Best scenario.

>>74657618
How on earth is that the best scenario? It's certainly the most likely scenario, but possibly the worst.

>>74657597
>I hope not too many people are actually praising him for this and will give it to him if he loses.
Well, most people (and especially Conor fans) happen to fucking retarded.

>>74657519
It's pretty much confirmed that GGG will face BJS next in Astana, during the exposition universelle

I don't see Floyd being an insane favorite in this one.

Conor cuts his soul out to get to 145, then he rehydrates like a sponge and becomes twice Floyd's size.

>>74657612
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Mayweather_Jr._vs._Canelo_%C3%81lvarez
Canelo was 13 years younger than Floyd and a lot more experienced than McGregor could hope to be in a potential matchup with Mayweather and still got rick-rolled through that entire fight.

As for being a southpaw, I wouldn't see how it could give him problems when the southpaw he's facing wouldn't possess the knowledge necessary to capitalize on it, not to mention that he's beaten soutpaws before (including his last match)

>>74653152

>floyd
>ko
>britbong opinion

wow what a magical coincidence

go watch divegrass and shut the fuck up about actual sports.

>>74657631
You're right, what was I thinking

>>74657665
you're definately right... floyd was kinda in his prime vs canelo tho? I mean floyd has been "retired" for some time and now he comes back a bit older and maybe a little bit rusty... conors been on it for a while, thoughts?

>>74657682
Floyd wasn't exactly in his "prime" against Canelo (remember, he came up from junior lightweight up to super welterweight) but because of his defense-orientated style he takes little toll on his body (besides his brittle, brittle hands) and is therefore in relatively decent shape to compete at that level.
He's also retire before (~2 years) and came back to beat Juan Manuel Marquez, and while JMM came up in weight for that fight, he absolutely outclassed him. Marquez is a multiple time world champ while Conors biggest boxing achievement is an amateur trophy he was when he was 14 years old.

>>74651330
>>74653152
the way how odds work is primarily an indication of who people are betting behind - not who is more likely to win. Conor entered at 20/1 or something and way too many people saw that as a potential payday and now his odds are up as a result.

>>74657496
GGG said he'd drop to fight Mayweather

>>74657563
It's gonna be with boxing rules and a boxing referee, so he'll get disqualified early if he does that

>>74657682
Floyd still spars and will make sure to have a big enough camp to shake off the rust. Even with the layoff the experience and skill disparity is so big it's safe to assume that Connor doesn't have anything more than a puncher's chance.

Also keep in mind that if the fight happens it will propably happen with Floyd choosing the: ring size, referee (see Mayweather Maidana duology if you want to know how much of a difference that can make), Connor's gloves, Judges, Venue, potentially imposing a rehydration clause to Connor.

And he will make sure to have every other advantage an "A side" can have.

He has said he would go to 154 for Floyd a couple of times.

McGoober can't really lose with this one. If he wins he's a god, if he loses he will have an excuse of fighting way out of his league.

>>74657682
Confirmed retard

>>74657162
Floyd literally won't be able to miss, and if it's more than six rounds McGregor is going to gas ridiculously hard. It would be more difficult for Mayweather to not knock him out than to do it

>>74657646
Floyds last fight was at 155.

No way this'll be a 145.

9/1 is not favorite. you get 9 for 1.

>>74658012
I don't blame him. Has Golovkin ever fought below Middleweight in the amateurs?

>>74658079
That's not how it works

>>74658092
9/1 is the same as 9. so you multiply your bet with with 9 for the return. bet $10 get $90. no?

certainly isn't a favorite with 9. more likely to be 1/9 instead, you can get floyd at 1/10 at some places.

>>74658088
Seems like light welterweight seventeen years ago
I was hoping Chavez Jr would fight GGG instead of canela but he'll likely do worse than that sparring session years ago

>>74656690

You're comparing McGregor to literal real champions Mayweather boxed. This will look like Mayweather vs Gatti after the 2nd round.

Ref or corner stoppage desu.

There are more fun ways to waste 5k m8

>>74657742

This is a joke correct?

>>74657612

It doesn't matter because McGregor is a rank amateur. Being a southpaw just means McGregor is right in line for possibly the best and definitely the most accurate straight right hand in all of boxing.

>>74657834
This. He wins hell transcend into legend. If he loses hes a fucking millionaire and novody will think less of him

This fight will never happen. It's just an excuse for conor to pretend he's not running from defending his belt because he's scared. If it does though I'm betting everything I have on floyd because it's literally free money.

>>74657646

>Who are Canelo, De La Hoya, Maidana

He's fought bigger opponents before. It's not an issue of size. It's an issue of Mystic Tap not having the skill to box the best boxer of this era for 12 rounds.

but didnt floyd struggle against that tall south paw nigga?

>>74658256

When and who was this? If it's over 10 years ago it's not relevant. It's probably not even relevant now because whoever he struggled with would probably beat McGregor in a boxing match.

>>74658256
Which one would that be?

>>74658207
Why not. Its free money

>>74658256
If McGregor was a decent boxer but he's not, I've seen what Joe Rogan and Dana White call good boxers and it is woeful
Nate Diaz was even shilled by Ward as a decent boxer, it's painful to watch the striking

Mayweather hardly struggled with him after the 3rd round and that Zab would embarrass McGregor. He would still embarrass McGregor if you're talking about pure boxing. He's one of the most physically gifted boxers to ever lace up gloves even though he never lived up to his potential.

>>74658632
if mcnugget trained with roach from now on til the fight would it make any difference?

>>74659011
It'd make a difference but he's still get tooled. You see CM Punk fight in the Octagon? He had all the top training but it still went down as it did.

>>74659011
No. Even Roach doesn't thinks so.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNLbnZQmm6k 2:22

>>74658632
Mayweather is old. Conor would be too fast and his boxing is so crisp now and even other boxers and experts think Conor has a good chance.

Steve Collins ex-Boxer
“If he comes up with my brother and does training in his gym, and if he gets a Mayweather fight, we’ll sit down and put together a plan for him to beat Mayweather and if he follows our plan, he’ll beat him.


“Everybody can be beaten if you put together the right plan. I know that from experience.

“If you plan it well and you have the ability to follow the plan and instruction, anybody can be beaten."
“I looked at Mayweather and said, ‘Do you know what, if Conor is going to beat him, this is how he could do it’.

I think Conor McGregor has the ability to become a champion at anything he does.

Joe Rogan
Conor has serious power if Floyd takes that left on the chin he's done"

MMA Today
"McGregor boxing is on par with anyone in the world he adapts..he wins."

Anderson Silva
" encourages McGregor to take the fight and believes he would surprise Mayweather with his boxing skills."

Amir Khan
"Conor has so much power I was really impressed with his boxing skills, Floyd would not find it easy"

Evander Holyfield
"Conor is a fantastic boxer he has everything"

>>74659107
I like how this is meant to be a serious post

>>74659065
Not a legit comparison in my opinion. One went into training with no fighting experience, the other already has a foundation of boxing.

>>74659191
It wasn't a comparison in terms of how the fight will go down, but just to bring in to terms that Rome wasn't built in a day, and you're not going to train an MMA fighter to beat an undefeated 49-0 Boxer in a few months.
He has a punchers chance at best, just as anyone does

>>74659188

I understand that conor on paper has 0 chance and it's retarded to argue anything contradicting. HOWEVER... isn't pretty gay that people are like
>conor won't win because boxing fought with pillows
or
>floyd will run away the entire fight haha conor will lose haha
this is not defending your sport. Not defending that boxing is a legit cool sport. Boxing sucks. get AJ vs wilder or Fury vs one of them. Aside from those fights... boxing is dead

>>74659271
>boxing is dead

david haye vs tony bellew did 750K ppv buys and Danny Garcia vs Keith Thurman had 5 million viewers, highest for a boxing match since 1998

>>74659226
Can't stand him and I hope the fight takes place, but I expect Floyd to put on a display and barely be touched. What's sad is this far more likely to happen than canela fighting Golovkin

>>74659271
Standard gloves for fighters from welterweight (147 lbs) and below are 8oz. Any weight class above that and 10 or 12oz gloves will be used. I don't know what size gloves will be used in the case of a catchweight.
Also Floyd doesn't care if you think running is gay, he has had people calling him a runner his entire career.

>>74656690
>>74657362
>>74657669
Conor can take a shot, but he sure as fuck can't take 500 shots that he never sees coming.
If you think he'll be standing up after 12 rounds of being countered you're crazy.
He might even quit like walters in the Loma fight.

>>74659512
walters embarrassed himself quitting like that, hopefully he never gets another pay day

Mayweather is going to kill the Irish nigga. And I even like Mcgregor. But he has NO chance in boxing. IF MMA actual figjting rules he kills Money May in 1 minute. But in boxing restrictions, Floyd has PHD in boxing. Its a money grab that McGregor Memed. If was actual balance rules they should have set up: boxing with gloves, no elbows, no wrestling, no jiu Jitsu,but allow kicks. McGregor would have won in 3 minutes.

But only boxing rules, Mcgregor has no chance. But great payday for him.

>>74651246

http://www.inquisitr.com/4055353/t-mobile-arena-booked-for-mcgregor-vs-mayweather-superfight/

too much baggage on conor's end for it to come to fruition, but he seems to be taking the steps toward making the match happen anyway. daddy dana wont let him make that kind of dough, and his contract fucks him on competing outside of the UFC, anyway. he could apply for a boxing license, but even then, i dont think he'd wanna be stripped of a belt again. we'll see what happens.

>>74651246
Is there a chance that McGregor could win? Of course, thats the nature of the combat sports. The same would apply to Mayweather if he were to face McGregor in the octogon. But in the boxing ring, McGregor is losing over half his aresenal. Thats not including his non existant ground game. Mayweather will have a field day with McGregor plain and simple.

>>74657162
This is fucking terrible but it's exactly what's going to happen

In no world McGregor beats him in points, so he should just go for a ridiculous early round KO before he basically has no chance after a few rounds.

McGregor is just here for a paycheck and retirement as a "MMA legend" so he doesn't need to defend/lose a belt to sully his brand/marketing potential

>>74657007
Conor used his leverage as the only huge draw in UFC to talk shit and call people out to get what he wants. Mayweather is a gambler so he can get a free paycheck by fighting Conor and keep up his lifestyle.

Conor wants a huge paycheck to retire, and Mayweather wants a huge paycheck to retire again.

>>74657025
Ali probably had bigger fights, and Manny vs Floyd was probably bigger than this, but its going to be the biggest "only done for money" fight ever.

Goober doesn't seem to be taking this too seriously. He's been on the piss in Crumlin the last two weeks going to gaf parties every night. He just wants the money.
