McGregor & Mayweather... HERE WE GO!!!

[blayze]

I cannot believe how much the odds have somewhat turned in Mcgregor's favor.....meaning that it;s not like 8 to 1 odds for him. Last I saw it was like 4.5 to 1....

The casinos need to hedge their position... McGregor opened at something like 14:1 and all the money has been on McGregor since - even with the reduced odds. They are going to get completely ****ed if McGregor actually wins.

Today yes. Sharp money is going to come in now that the odds have dropped and they'll be fine. But it's the only reason odds have dropped so much.

It's already happening tbh

Personally, I think you would be smart to put money on Mayweather. I think that in this case, the odds on what is actually probable, is so far different from the odds on what Vegas is paying. I think that Mayweather's true odds of winning is ridiculously higher than Vegas odds are. The payoff for the crazy upset if McGregor wins won't be enough. I am as confident that Mayweather will win this, as I was that Lucic wasn't going to hit the "Over" on 65 points with the Oilers last year. Mayweather is just about a sure thing, and Vegas just isn't supporting that. Put your money on Mayweather; there are much better mathematical long shots out there.

All the professional gamblers are putting their money on Mayweather. It's the 92% of chumps putting $100 bets on McGregor that's throwing everything off...

[Rylant]

I also saw a report from ESPN suggesting that for every 1 bet on Mayweather, there are 12 bets on McGregor, however, 76 percent of the money placed is on Mayweather. Westgate Superbook says that the average bet on McGregor is $212, while the average bet on Mayweather is $8036.

No question. I think the only reason I wouldn't put a bet on Mayweather, is because of the incredible corruption that tends to surround boxing. I just don't trust the result to be legit.

It's nothing more than a spectacle... and I admittedly will fully pay $100+ to watch it

I wouldn't watch it for free. Have never really understood the appeal. I'll be playing The Culling on XBox One instead

This fight won't be fixed. As they say, you don't fix the world cup, you fix the quarterfinals.

very similar to New England beating St. Louis in the Super Bowl that year.

I am not suggesting either Mayweather or McGregor would be willing to throw the fight. But the level of corruption and incompetence in boxing has been displayed time and time again. I am confident enough that Mayweather will technically win this fight, to put up every single penny I own on it. However, I am not confident enough to do that, considering the history of judging corruption and possible other shenanigans that could affect the outcome of the fight.

McGregor=punching bag. I believe thats what this will be. Just a work out for Mayweather.

[rataylor22]

I cannot wait for this stupid spectacle to be over. I'm so done with everything to do with this fight.

[StuperousFunker]

I remember before the McGregor / Aldo fight, everyone thought Conor was all talk and would finally face a superior fighter, and look what happened. I know that the most likely scenario is a boring 'floyd runs until conor gets tired' fight, but hey, you never know.

Most important question, anyone here have a line on a hopefully stable streaming option? The MMA and boxing reddits are my usual go-to, but I'm guessing tonight will be a whole new animal as far as demand goes. Any fellow hockey fans able to help a brother out?

[notch4077]

I on the other hand, can't get enough of this.

You are all welcome to come by. My house will be almost at capacity as it is, but whatever:

See you soon. Just bring appetizers.
