Mayweather-McGregor fight 8/26/17
I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole. I have no idea where I will be on fight night, but I absolutely know what I won't be doing.
That would be the 2nd worst fight in UFC history, behind Forest Griffin and Anderson Silva. The match-up is HORRIBLE. Lesner has a glass chin and jones has length on him to just hit it from a far. The fight would NOT last more than one round unless jones decided not to beat him instantly.Quote: billryanNot me. I'm saving my money for Brock Lesner vs John Jones. That should be interesting.
I have action on the fight... don't worry.Quote: NokTangIf it's free money, the odds should not matter to you. However, I think the windows are open at -500 up to -650 as we read....and, well, it's not free until after the fight but free is free so step up. Cheers mate.
Funny enuogh, I'd put them at 'about' the same line, with perhaps mayweather being a bigger favorite even... but about the same. You're just watching the game going "no safety, no safety..." just like the fight "no knockout, no knockout." Then you win.Quote: JohnzimboMayweather is a sure thing....like no safety in the Super Bowl right?
Would you give me the same -450 line you're giving SOOPOO for Floyd? What odds are you wanting for mcg?Quote: WizardofnothingI have 450 in action so far on mcg with soopoo. . Anyone else interested?
Eh, I wouldn't go that far. Anyone who respects combat sports and fighting in general MUST respect the ability for anyone to knock anyone out, at any time... Especially at these levels. That being said, I agree that my money is on Floyd.Quote: lilredroosteranybody who thinks mcgregor has some kind of halfway decent chance to win is basically disrespecting the sport of boxing...
Quote: RomesEh, I wouldn't go that far. Anyone who respects combat sports and fighting in general MUST respect the ability for anyone to knock anyone out, at any time...
another point. mcgregor knocked people out with his feet and hands. now he can't use his feet. and when he knocked people out with his hands his hands were covered with these little ass gloves. now his hands are going to be covered by some big ass boxing gloves. its a world of difference.
If McGregor values his life, he'll just kick Mayweather hard enough to get DQ'd 10 seconds into the round 1, but not hard enough to piss him off.
Marquez got Manny. Marquez is also a HOF boxer and a master tactician who spent months planning. Benard Hopkins got Oscar with a body shot. A middle weight hall of famer, fighting a guy who started out an 84 pounds or something,
Not too many other examples. Most guys at this level are too polished to expose themselves and too tough to be stopped so easily.
Connor doesn't have great power by boxing standards. Only in the kiddy pool.
Plus, MMA is still a young sport. While it is eclipsing boxing in many countries today, 10-15 years ago they were still fighting for relative chump change. Guys like Jones dominate on athleticism because the athleticism still isn't as good as established, global sports. It will be eventually (well, maybe not, because as the sport is truly breaking, we are learning too much about concussions), but it isn't yet.
Anywho, Connor ain't knocking anybody out. The idea that he could KO even someone a notch or 2 lower, say Jeff Horn (the guy who Manny just got robbed against) or Jessie Vargas is kind of silly.
Almost all of my money will be bet with bookies but I'm happy to make some prop bets vs. cash.
e.g. if Connor wins 3 rounds, I will shave my head and give my flowing head of blonde and red highlighted hair to some lucky cancer patient. If someone is willing to put up cash on the other side.

Hmmm. Maybe we can get a pool goin'.
Just so the stakes are clear, here is the hair in question.
It's probably like 2 feet long or so. Halfway down my back, in any case.
More like insult to injury (-;Quote: Rigondeaux

So McG doesn't have to win the fight, he only has to win 3 rounds of it, correct?
If so, I'll take a piece of McGregor. But need full explanation of the bet first, and the amount.

He could then bet heavy against himself and clean up.
No downside, so long as the truth remains bottled up: he'd still get paid for fighting, plus he'd really get uber-rich on the bets.
But hey, it'll never happen: the "sweet science" is immune to such shenanigans.
*stifled guffaw*
Anything controversial happens, there will be a rematch.
Food for thought.

Axel is closer to the truth. I also had long hair as a yoot. This was because I liked Slayer, not the greatful dead.
I am lazy but alo occasionally consider how much I've saved on haircuts.
My hair started getting long again and I just decided to let it run wild once more before it goes grey or falls out.

I bought a brand new set of Conair hair trimmers for $10.00 about 15 years ago in place of a beard and mustache trimmer which were going for $40+. I've never paid for a haircut since.

I can't imagine long hair is easier to maintain. My short hair will get greasy and smelly if go longer than 24hrs without a shower.

Conair and Whahl trimmers have always failed me.
I've had an Andis professional hair and beard trimmer for years now and I think they'll last me the rest of my life

Eh, I'd only be interested in the -450 line for me to take Floyd. What would be your lower/upper limits for just this bet?Quote: WizardofnothingI'd take plus 500 now- let me know what you are looking to bet
i.e. I bet $450 with you. If Floyd wins, I win $100. If Floyd loses, I lose $450. That's already giving up 4.5 to mcgreggor. To straight bet mcgreggor he's going off at +350, def no +500 =).
Must be down for maintenance. I will take cash if they insist.Quote: Homelessnyc:(

https://www.badlefthook.com/2017/8/17/16161760/mcgregor-floyd-wont-last-2-rounds-with-8oz-gloves
Conor McGregor, who was thrilled by the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s decision to allow 8oz gloves in his fight with Floyd Mayweather, is expecting an even shorter fight than before. McGregor has long been saying that he was going to knock out Mayweather within four rounds, but he’s now halving that prediction based upon the smaller gloves.
Just more indication of how much of a joke this is.
Can't imagine the Athletic Commission would waive its rules for another match.
Probably small? Depends on the cruise ship. If they buy it for the boat I'd imagine they'd have to spend crazy money because "potentially X number of people could be watching it." Perhaps if they only air it in ONE of their bars, then it would be like a normal bar... Not sure. I basically wouldn't bet on seeing it, but would be pleasantly surprised if you do. If they have decent WiFi you could always order it and stream it on a tablet or something.Quote: kmumfI am going to be on a cruise that night what are the chances that they will be showing it in one of the bars on the boat?
I'll still take other bets as well if anyone interested
the odds are changing and mayweather is now at -475. here is betonline.ag right now:
Conor McGregor..... +375
Floyd Mayweather Jr -475
books are crying they'll lose a ton of money if mcgregor wins. BOOHOOHOO. let me dry my tears:
http://nypost.com/2017/08/22/las-vegas-books-staring-down-mayweather-mcgregor-disaster/
Wizofnothing, are you willing to match, or beat, the -400 line currently available? My structure for a bet would need to be *something like*: I'll take Mayweather at -400 for $4k. Mayweather wins, I win $1k. Mayweather loses, I lose $4k. We'd have to settle in person, in Vegas, with cash, as both of us are members in good standing and I'm there quarterly I don't think it should be too big of an issue?

Word is that McGregor placed the bet
Quote: sixsistersWord is that McGregor placed the bet
Lol. That made me laugh. No need to create a buzz fuss, that was the Maloof brothers, at least according to a few articles/videos I've seen on it.
Quote: Mission146My understanding is they intent to donate the winnings to charity, if any. I think whoever the charity is would say, "Just the 800k will do nicely, please, thank you."
Charities like free money as much as anybody.
Quote: RigondeauxCharities like free money as much as anybody.
True, but I think they would prefer to actually receive the money.
EDIT: Sorry, misunderstood! Thought the Maloof bet was on McGregor.
Quote: billryanA little after midnite. It could last almost an hour if it goes 12 and to the judges scorecard. Each round is 3 minutes with one minute in between rounds but between the fighters entrances, the final instructions and all it could be 130AM before its all said and done." Could be" being the key. I don't see it going to a judges decision.
First of all, what if McGregor mysteriously doesn't make weight? Then again, I don't think it's a title fight, unless you count the WBC "Moneyweight" title supposedly on the line, so I don't see either fighter's weight causing a problem.
I can't help but think about a wrestling event in early 1999 and how it might make its way into the fight...
"There's the bell for round 1...the fighters are feeling each other out...McGregor approaches and throws a right, but he stops short, and just taps Mayweather on the chin...and Mayweather drops like a sack of potatoes! (Ten seconds later) Mayweather is out...but what's this? He gets right back on his feet, and he and McGregor appear to be celebrating together in the ring! They're being surrounded by followers as they're rushed out of the ring, which is now being filled with beer bottles and other garbage being thrown by the fans!" Needless to say, that is definitely the last fight for both of them.
(For those of you wondering what happened in 1999, search "Fingerpoke Of Doom")
Or, there's always, "They've both landed clean shots to each other's chins, and they're both down! It's a draw!", followed by reports of some heavy betting action on a draw.
Okay, okay, but here's a definite possibility, albeit not (necessarily) intentional; McGregor bumps heads with Mayweather, one of them gets a nasty cut, and they have to stop the fight early, so it's a no contest. (I'm not sure if the fight has to go five rounds or six before they could have a judges' decision.)
