    Casuals are everywhere this week, at work I have been approached by countless people trying to hold a conversation about the sport, anyone had some interesting conversations?


    My security guard came out with 'I think its gonna be a good fight COs pac can bang em out, but Mayweather can as well, in having a fiver on first round knockout' i just shook my head in disbelief and told him I love a punter who reseaches the fighters before laying his money

    Then this other lad who has never watched a fight in his life asked me what I thought will happen, 'i told him Mayweather will just use his size and defensive skills to hold off any attack, he will clip in now and again and slow him down. It will be a shutout but a great spectacle none the less. His reply was 'I think Pacman will win. Did you ever play pacman as a kid?

    All in all though, these casuals are keeping Mayweathers odds value for money. So iv invested £500 on mayweather on points so fingers crossed Floyd will be paying for mine and my girlfriends holiday this year with a textbook mayweather win

    What will £500 get you in return out of curiosity?

    I'd a fella telling me back in his day the best always fought the best, like the time Tyson and Benn fought... To be fair he was totally inebriated

    £5 on a 1st round KO is actually a decent bet.

    Casuals, think Pacman is favorite. That's what my boss told me. "They have Pacquiao as favorite, look here at this poll"

    I'd rather lose my fiver on a 1st round KO than lose £500 relying on a judges' decision

    This is what someone said to me the other day, it made me want to cry but he said, when on the topic of the fight we both agreed that we felt Mayweather would win, he then went on to say I cant wait until Mayweather fights George Groves........................ I mean there are so many things wrong with that statement its untrue.

    Some of the rubbish casuals come out with is laughable but it's still better that people are talking about boxing and it's getting a lot of attention this week even if a lot of people are pretty clueless.
