Official Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor Thread

[NaturalBornHustler]

Wow, unless you are just betting for fun there is zero value to bet on Mcgregor right now.

Great value on Mayweather across the board.

In that article I posted they had quotes saying that most people betting on Conor don't even care about the odds.

[Crowe Diddly]

Unless they've specifically put boxing in the clause... usually it says something like all forms of combat sport.
If you have a UFC contract and want to turn your back on the UFC and play Soccer you are free to do so.
They can ban him from MMA and other combat sports, but I don't think they'd be able to stop him boxing, litigate later sure.

??

they way you write, I can't tell if you realize that boxing is a combat sport or not. It is, just to be clear.

I think the UFC is planning McGregor vs Khabib in Russia next. I also think that's an incredibly risky fight for Conor. As good as Conor is we need to remember he tapped out three fights ago to a guy with isn't even top 5 in the division.

He tapped to a guy who has fought many times at 170 while Conner was actually 4lbs below weight (most guys fighting Welterweight are right there not at 165/166 while Diaz likely had 20lbs on Conner at fight time I'm guessing) and who has a mean streak a milewide more so then even his brother.. Also Connor got revenge in the rematch against Diaz.

i expect conor might retire after khabib pastes him.

Value wise, unless you are betting for fun it is really retarded to bet on Conor.

Diaz is an amateur boxer at best and lit Conor up with his boxing. If Conor and Diaz had just had a boxing match for 12 rounds I have no doubt Diaz beats him. And now we are talking about Mayweather. This is going to be so one sided that Mayweather will be able to decide when he is going to KO Conor or get a stoppage between rounds. That is what makes the prop bets on the rounds so hard. Mayweather could toy with him and decide to wait and knock him out in the final round just for the hell of it.

Mayweather by KO/TKO/DQ @ -135 is the bet.

Diaz is a 155lber, the UFC hyped up the weight difference to sell the fight and protect McGregor. McGregor is also a 155lber. The second fight was super close and again, Diaz isn't top 5 in the division. McGregor is great, but he still has a lot of interesting MMA fights at lightweight (welterweight in MMA is 170). They did the first fight at 170 with Diaz because he was fat and partying on a boat 10 days before fight night. Diaz isn't a welterweight, he was severely under sized there and looked awful. This convo is probably for the UFC thread anyway.

i expect conor might retire after khabib pastes him.

Someone is getting fucked up in that fight. Khabib is notoriously easy to hit but he's tough and durable. We have no clue how good Conors wrestling is vs a legit wrestler at 155. Khabib could very well take him down and destroy him like he did Johnson. I love this fight and I agree, Conor may retire if Khabib mauls him.

I agree, Conor has been super easy to hit in MMA. Pillow fisted Diaz hurt him in both fights. I also think Conor is a great front runner but his heart is questionable.

[TheXFactor]

Conor loses 90% of his money if he gets DQ'ed it isn't happening.

Really?

Even if it's just some small foul?
Maybe Conor punches Mayweather repeatedly in the balls.

Or maybe he fails the drug tests because he's using steroids?

If Mayweather wins it shouldn't be counted as his 50th win.

McGregor isn't even in the top 500 of boxing contenders.

This is just an exhibition fight for cash.

nobody gets DQ'd for some small foul.

I thought the contract said if McGregor throws any illegal blow other than a punch he loses 90% of his payday. If he struggles following the rules and rabbit punches time and time again the way he does in that Malignaggi clip, does he lose 90% of his pay? I can't imagine he would agree to that.

[NaturalBornHustler]

Any DQ = loses 90% of his money. It isn't really that complicated.

Whether he brings a gun into the ring and shoots him, or throws too many low blows or anything else that would normally get someone DQ'ed. It doesn't matter "how".

Do you know for certain that's the language in the contract? If so I agree, it's simple. Conors coach said it was any illegal strike and he forfeits 90% of his purse

Haha, what a circus.

[cmoney]

Never bet boxing so have a question cant figure out.

Right now on William Hill:

MayWeather Moneyline is -500 ish

Mayweather by decision is +200 ish

Mayweather by TKO/KO/DQ is -135 ish


How else can Mayweather win other than decision , TKO, KO or DQ? I am trying to figure out what I am missing here because based on these odds there is no reason to bet Mayweather ML.

You push with a draw if you take the -500 line.

Are you thinking of taking both the -135 & +200?

A draw has like 0 chance of happening. Is that the only way those two bets would lose?

Or any accidental headbutt that causes a cut that stops the fight before the 4th round. After the 4th round it goes to the cards. Before then is a no decision.

Southpaw vs. Orthodox tend to band heads a lot, so I suppose that's a legit possibility.

What about if Conor just gets crushed and then doesnt come out for the next round?

This is why I dont bet boxing and stick to NFL. At least you always know where you are at with NFL betting.

That will goes as RTD (retired on his stool) and counts as a stoppage win. It's included in the inside the distance bet, because it's officially a TKO.

NFL kicks my ass every single season. Other than boxing, I only do well in college basketball.
