Christ, that is certainly tempting. I'd imagine it will shorten a -lot- a month from now.

Yeah it took a fair bit of looking around.
Paddy Power have a Mayweather TKO at 15/8 but bizzarely at the same stage are offering 21/10 for either man to win by TKO so you are better off betting the latter .

If I can now get someone to come back with even money on a mayweather TKO/KO/DQ I will get another lump on and be a happy man!

Not easy money if he one punch ko's him and you do your money in, would put me into absolute seeth mode woulda lumped on the ko and tko combined for insurance.

Best you can get on that at the moment is 4/6. No value at all. I think TKO is the much more likely outcome
If the odds on TKO/KO/DQ come back to evens then I'll definitely lump on that too.

Also, if you look at Mayweather's record, of his 26 stoppages, only 4 have been by KO, 3 of those were at Super Feather and the last one was against Ortiz.

Mcgregor hasnt taken many punches though and when Diaz landed a couple McGregor definitely had a case of the wobbly knees. Mayweather will land a few flush on the counter so would definitely be doing a saver on the KO.

If you shop around you will likely get 3/1 + on a KO so you effectively stand to get evens by betting an equal amount on each outcome i.e KO/TKO. I'd actually be more worried about a DQ!

Jesus lads it's not a prime Mike Tyson he's fighting at all. Mayweather hasn't the power to hurt him and an accumulation of patty slaps won't hurt him either.

Its gonna be either a 12 round dance off or a 5 round war, either way I don't think Conor will be hurt even if stopped with a sweet one

lol...

Of course Floyd can hurt him. Just because he's not KO'ing experienced pro boxers, doesn't mean he can't KO a total novice! :rolleyes:

If this thing goes past the 4th or 5th round, Conor will be dead on his feet... at that point, any decent boxer worth their salt will not require much power to KO him!

Solid technique + severely fatigued fighter = finished. Whether it's a referee stoppage, corner stoppage or actual KO is somewhat irrelevant. (unless you have some money riding on it of course :pac:)

But either way, he will likely have had enough after about 10-12 mins in there... I don't see him sticking the pace much longer. If this fight makes it past the half way point, I will be amazed... even 3 mins is a long a$$ time for a novice to be in a ring with an elite level pro boxer.

But Conor does have plenty of heart, so never say never I guess... He could go out on his shield, and make Floyd really work for the finish. (not that I want to see the guy take damage tbh)

I got Mayweather by TKO at 11/4 on William hill. Too good to turn down!

Fair play to you posting that up bud, not many on here have the balls to put their money behind their words.

Even if you're right, he should still put a stop to it, as it is PERCEIVED as racism. He knows this but is carrying on regardless so will earn little sympathy if he goes too far and the fight is cancelled.

And all you need do is look at the recent fate of Bill O'Reilly after 20 years with Fox. Undone by an organised online petition targeting Fox and it's sponsors. Do you think Showtime are comfortable with the line he's been walking so far?

As predicted....

http://www.inquisitr.com/4377905/ne...ore-the-mayweather-mcgregor-fight-for-racism/

From the minute it was announced, the Mayweather-McGregor has been dominating the headlines in the sports world. Sometimes, the domination is for the right reasons, and sometimes — as this latest bit of news is proving — it’s in the news for the wrong reasons.


A recent press release put out by Care2, the leading online petitions site, demands that before the Mayweather-McGregor fight takes place on August 26, American beer company Budweiser revoke their sponsorship of the Irish fighting legend.


In a statement for the Care2 petition, Jordan Wilhelmi of Unbendable Media suggests that McGregor, who is reportedly worth $35 million, has made some racist remarks in the past — prior to the upcoming Mayweather-McGregor fight — and these latest remarks are indicative of a man who is unworthy of a paid beer sponsorship.


“Leading up to his 2015 match against Brazilian fighter Jose Aldo, McGregor said:


– “If this was a different time, I would invade his favela on horseback and kill anyone that was not fit to work.”


– “What I really want to do is turn his favela into a Reebok sweatshop.”


– “I think I’m going to have him come and clean up my airplane.”


“These remarks should have caused major brands to drop any association with McGregor long ago. Now that he’s gearing up to cash in on his history of bigoted comments, the time has come. Please sign this petition to ask Budweiser to drop Conor McGregor over his history of bigoted remarks!”

“If this was a different time, I would invade his favela on horseback and kill anyone that was not fit to work.”

That one was a cracker in fairness...:pac:... I remember watching that press conference, Conor was on great form!!

Thanks for the reminder there... Conor really can be a funny b@stard sometimes!!

The world would be a much better place, if certain people took themselves less seriously and just had the ability to laugh at themselves and others... I poke some fun at you, you do the same back at me... everyone knows it's not serious, we have a laugh, and then move the f*ck on without any offence!!

Now wouldn't that just be fan-f*cking-tastic...!? Who knows... it might happen one day!! :P

Exactly what we were saying earlier it's just ignorant to think that Mayweather can't hurt McGregor. Seems to be a rather universal view from the fanboys and casual observers.

I love this perception that Floyd doesn't have punching power. He has more than enough power to hurt Conor, make no mistake about it.

Billy86 wrote:

My point is Floyd is so many streets ahead of him that he wouldn't even need much power in his punches to do serious damage because he'll likely be able to land at will reasonably early on (and moreso as the further it goes on). But he's a professional boxer, even if he's not Canelo in that respect he still knows how to do a lot of damage with his fists.

It's true Mayweather is not the hardest hitting boxer ever, But he doesn't need to be to finish this one early. He is one of the most accurate punchers/counter punchers in history, even against elite boxers. Against McGregor he will land everything, There nothing Conor can do to stop it.

I like the bet, and fair play for putting it on but you are screwed if Floyd cracks Conor with a counter left hook to the chin, and goes down.

By DQ do you mean Conor maybe instinctively throwing in an MMA move in when the pressure is on? I think Dana talked about this in London, The contact is extremely strict on it, McGregor would be facing a serious lawsuit that would cost him some of, if not all of his share of the money.

You can get DQed for a myriad of things in boxing, not just an MMA move. Conor could easily do something to get a DQ if under pressure due to his inexperience.

Anyway it is covered by almost all bookies as part of a KO/TKO bet

If the ref waives off the count before 10 it's a TKO. If Conor makes it to his feet it's a TKO.

Froch's last knockout vs Groves was a TKO. It's always a more likely outcome than KO.
That said I will look to cover the KO before the fight.

Based on?

Based on common sense and eyesight.

Mayweather does not have the power to land a shot like Diaz did in the first fight eith Mcgregor.

It's simple physics, Diaz is 6ft+ with a strong thick skeleton and knows how to punch.

Floyd is a blown up 135 pounder with a small skeleton, is hands and foreharms are just too small and skinny without the weight behind them that Diaz has. Floyd is a boxing genius but he can't change physics.

In a thread full of nonsense posts, this is easily the MOST nonsense post.

I think it was ESPN that measured the fighters' punch power. Mayweather is the same as Diaz, McGregor higher than both.

Had a look for it and was Sports Science that did it. Just based off McGregor's UFC fights and some of Floyd's boxing fights from what I could see.

Definitely not the same conditions. Came to the conclusion that McGregor generates 850lbs of pressure in comparison to Mayweathers 820lbs.

Apparently mayweathers counter strikes are 0.1 of a second, faster than a vipers strike.

I am not seeing that.

I watched that fight a couple times.

Hatton was done in by accumulation, tiredness and a sh1tty referee.

Power doesn't come into it for me in that fight.

Some lovely clean landed shots, but nothing extraordinary.

I'll never get over the referee that night. It was like watching WWE with a special guest referee there to **** over one guy.

His tiredness and frustration led to that. With a proper referee Hatton had a great chance that night, one I didn't expect him to have. I was disgusted.
