Conor looks like he's done a tough cut.
His face looks gaunt.
Mayweathers probably not missed a meal in three years.
Seriously, Conor should be 15 pounds heavier when the bell rings... maybe more.

Show ur work he looks almost identical from a week ago
Sunken eyes and bags under his eyes, you can see it in his face. IMHOQuote:

He does look pretty damn solid. I'm not saying he struggled or it was a crazy cut but to my eyes he looks very dehydrated.
conor is notoriously for looking like an actual corpse at weigh ins, it means exactly nothing. be warned.
He looks like he cut like 4 pounds from Thursday
Conor looks great. He could beat almost any guy in his weight class who casually works out at a boxing gym now.
I think the fan frenzy has convinced people that Conor has a legit chance. Lets not forget that Mayweather opened at fucking -2500.
We are now close to the same odds Manny Pacquiao had against Mayweather.
I read an article where a sportsbook manager in Vegas said that he'd have made the opening line Mayweather -10000 if there hadn't already been a narrative for this fight.Quote:

McGregor has a hard-on for Mayweather.
He will be performing at Mayweather's strip club "Girl Collection" this weekend.

Proud as fuck.
delete from net...
Easiest money I ever made and either guy can win.
I love America!
I think it means a lot, Conor has shown some pretty dog shit cardio in at least 2 of his last 3 fights. In the first Diaz fight Conor lost all pop on his shots early in round 2 and their second fight while exciting looked like a tough man contest rounds 3-5. Alvarez didn't go long enough but late in round 1 he was breathing heavy with an open mouth so someone could argue his cardio has looked bad in his last 3 fights.Quote:

Does anyone know if Connor will be able to rehydrate with IV bags? If so, i like my bet.
Exactly. And we have seen Conor against a low level boxer before in Nate Diaz who lit his face up. They keep talking about Mayweathers power as if it is not a threat which is ridiculous as Mayweather fights other boxers that actually have defense. No way Conors face can take the punishment for 12 rounds. He may not get the 10 count , but ounce his face swells up, they will call it .Quote:

If both fighters can make it through round one, i think we will know who will win.

Exactly. People like to say Mayweather can't punch because he's doesn't get knockouts anymore. But he doesn't get them, because he doesn't pursue them. I've said from the start that I believe Mayweather will be the bigger puncher in the fight. 100% believe it.
My favorite bet for the fight, if you can find it:
McGregor vs Mayweather - Floyd Mayweather to win by any means in rounds 1 through 8
88305
Floyd wins in Round 1-8
* pk* (-120)
*
*
88306
Any other outcome
* pk* (-120)
Lulz if you are betting thisQuote:

Literally anyone betting anything other than a decision should be betting the +EV bets but luz America, that's why the Sportsbooks still exist.

One of us is confused - and perhaps its me, i'm not a boxing or mma bettor ordinarily, but my bet will win if it goes the distance. What am I missing?
Obviously Mayweather is the best that ever lived, but even the greats get beat by opponents that weren't on their level, i just feel like it's a coin flip at this point. Can't wait.
I was supposed to smoke a pork shoulder but Hurricane harvey fucked that up, fucking n-word.
I believe he thinks you're betting the stoppage in 1-8. Looks like he ignored the bold.Quote:

By opponents not on their level, who are also professional boxers.Quote:

Anyone on the undercard worth watching? I'm planning on watching the entire event tonight, need a reason to cheer for guys on the undercard to make it interesting.
OSA is this true?
Mayweather was about 22/1 on when it opened .
He's now 4/1 on.
If this was a straight fight we would all be betting TYDES farm by now.
Good luck to anyone who pays $89.99 for a normal PPV and $99.99 for HD.
I'm going to get up about 3am for this spectacle but boxing it ain't.
Just checked and sky bet are saying 5 am for the fight?
Fuck I'm awake by then without an alarm clock
What time is the main event supposed to start?
Is anyone on here going to be able to provide us low-lifes with a link for discounted viewing??
There is no set time for the main event, it will depend on the undercard. I'd imagine they will hope for sometime around 10pm Vegas time for the main event to start, that seems to be the best time for ppv buys to go up.Quote:

UFC should have worked it into the deal for at least one of the undercard matches to have been mma in the ring (Pride style minus stomps) and a Glory cosponsored kickboxing match.

For any boxing experts here who on the undercard at -400 or less is close to a lock to win?
I logged into my Bovada account for the first time in a year and see a some free bonus play money that works for sports so I want to parlay another heavy favorite with Mayweather.
I think people will but it either way for the freak show aspect. My main thought was that the arena will be literally empty until just before the main event.Quote:

Dana and Stephen Espinoza hate each other, and showtime pretty much made it clear that this was a showtime broadcast, and only a showtime broadcast. The only bone they threw the UFC (as far as I could see) was not letting Ariel Helwani work the event as part of the broadcast team. They were happy enough to do a co-promotion with HBO for May/Pac, but they obv don't consider the UFC an equal for this fight.Quote:
