Mayweather/McGregor Fight Discussion

Yeah it was a pretty good bet, kinda free imo. Not sure why the odds were even near -375 - -400.. odd

 

Did a lot better.. I had Conor up 5 rounds to 1 by round 6 I believe. I was in disbelief..

 

Agreed. Was a lot of fun (and anxiety) especially if you bet on Floyd expecting easy $$$.

 

Gave Conor the first two, as soon as Mayweather started throwing it was game over.

 

Discuss.

Gave McGregor 3, I was shocked May lost the first 3 rounds.

 

It was made to look competitive. Now there's more money in a rematch. MMA anyone?

 

McGregor did much better than Hatton (albeit against a worse Floyd). I never felt Hatton was going to win. Not so here for sure. Anyone who says they didn't think McGregor might pull it off though is lying.

 

I saw so many posts on Facebook about the fight and so much discussion on YouTube & twitter about the fight. When it's a big match, boxing can still capture fans like few sports can. That makes me feel good.

 

I gave him 1 and 3.

 

Conor looked huge in there.

There is no doubt Mayweather gave away those rounds in ordereliance to get the TKO.

I also have no doubt he was under instruction to prolong the fight and uphold Conor's credibility by avoiding completely embarrassing which I think is why we witnessed that shocking premature stoppage.

You have to give credit for Conor's boxing abiltys as he does have decent footwork and knows how to use his range.

However his power is vastly overatted like I said before the fight.

Floyd literally walked through all of his punches.

 

Not if the money's right!

 

I honestly think Conor could beat Canelo or Golovkin

do you guys agree?

 

Against a boxer who is famous for his timing?

Dumb plan if true.

At least he has secured his family's future for at least 3 generations though.

 

No. The fight itself was embarrassing, but because Mayweather was able to walk forward like he was taking a stroll.

 

Floyd got his 50-0 but the biggest winners from this long term are McGregor and the UFC, he just introduced himself to a whole new audience who have never watched the UFC before who might watch, his next fight is going to be huge.

Dana White got the best result possible, he was competitive enough it wasn't humiliating for his brand as a big time UFC star but he didn't win so he'll go back to the UFC and make them money instead of staying in boxing for another fight.
