    I have to agree with the fence sitting from some people Floyds either a certainty or not cant be predicting an easy win then saying ''but'',

    It would ruin combat sports if he took a dive and probably get him prison time, no chance, Floyd will win and win easy 1.2 on betfair is an incredible price but my greed will force me lump on the tko.

    It's a shame KO price isn't drifting with the ML. It was 11/10 at best this morning for a split second before going to evens and now 10/11.

    No, that feeling you have is fear that there's a slight possibility boxings best may not KO him when he pleases as you said. You won't be able to acept that you will cry it's a fix.

    Anyone that knows what Conor is like, knows he'll come to fight and will not partake in any "fix".

    Does anyone genuinely think McGregor wins this ?

    I agree. Mayweather won't be in it to lose. By staged con I mean that something between the two parties to make this not a legitimate boxing match where both men are free to win and try their best to do so...

    Conor 100% believes from the bottom of his heart he will KO Floyd Mayweather.

    Some might say he's delusional.

    But he'll be going in there to try take Floyd's head off his shoulders. Floyd will be going in there to get to 50-0.

    It will drift when Conor goes promoting, they will believe every word he says will be floods of money for him.

    I don't think he believes that at all. He believed he had a chance of making money by getting this fight.

    Wonderfullife, you seem to be taking all this a little bit too seriously..

    I will be actually be rooting for Conor..

    I give him next to no chance to win.

    I have a feeling that this will be a staged con of a fight.

    It's just frustrating when people say Conor will get destroyed and in the next breath say if he wins it's a "staged con".

    It's like no matter what he does he can't get credit (if he deserves it).

    I think anyone suggesting Floyd will lose on purpose and bring his record to 49-1 needs their head examined. He's filed for 6 trademarks for 50-0.

    I didn't think that anyone calling it a staged "con" would be implying that it will be staged so that McGregor wins. I'd say that the mean it in the sense that they might have agreed to prance about for a couple of rounds rather than Mayweather knocking him out within the first minute.
    Personally I'd think that MW will stop him as soon as he easily can. I don't see him waiting to do so beyond the second. Unless he is absolutely toying with and humiliating him by then. Just ask Victor Ortiz about MW's desire to give the fans a bit of a show

    Every fighter goes in there to do that to Mayweather, and he thrives off that.

    From my point of view, Cotto, Canelo, Pacquiao, Mosely, Hatton, De La Hoya, Marquez and Gatti couldn't do it (to name a few). These fighters were lethal, and Mayweather beat them all.

    So if someone says that McGregor is delusional, I won't say I fully agree, at least with the terminology, but I can see their point.

    Will boxing fans really include this as a W to bring Floyd to 50? I mean he is fighting a guy with a 0-0 record, really should not include.

    So you don't think Mayweather has the skill to finish it quicker?

    I think Mayweather can finish this in whatever round he fancies but he might like to take it to 12 rounds.

    Now, Conor might "gas" of course but not much Mayweather can do about that.

    It's a complete mismatch. Floyd wins by KO/TKO inside 2 rounds. Conor will not be able to hit Floyd at all, And Floyd will unload a barrage of punches on a defenseless McGregor. Left hooks, Straight rights, Right hooks to the body. Anyone who thinks McGregor has a chance doesn't know anything about boxing and doesn't realise how great Floyd is.

    Fear?

    What have I to fear from this novelty event?

    It's not like it affects me in any way at all...

    There'll be that feeling when the opening bell sounds like during the Pac fight. Then...posing for round one...a few serious attempts by Mc in round two. A smirking MW will land some snapping jabs and a right. Mc will back off. Not necessarily from the power but the accuracy. McG will try upping the pace by round three as will MW in response. By round 4 Mc is gassing and MW goes to work. I can see it being stopped by the corner more than anything else. As in, 'you're not getting close and you're getting hit too cleanly''.

    I don't have a problem with the whole thing but for the fact that MW has hurt this weekends fight (which RocNation has not promoted) and it may take away from Canelo v GGG in Sept. A real fight. Easy money for the two bastards.

    You've gone from "people are scared that McGregor might win" to "people are scared Mayweather won't KO him".

    Give it up.

    CmG gone down to 5.0 to win, leave it out bookies.
    I got double that (10.0) not too long ago, and still not sure he can even do it.

    Just like Floyd/Manny, most people bet with their emotions. Money piled on Manny late because who doesn't like Manny and who didn't want Floyd to lose his 0. Same thing here.

    People betting on 8 weight WC Pacman to beat Floyd is the same as people betting on a non boxer beating Floyd?

    I'd consider Mayweather a scummy bastad myself :)

    If it goes down like that, McG isn't gassing in round 4. The gassing accusation stems from the Diaz fight where he spent 7/8 mins throwing tiring kicks etc and taking some hits from a much bigger man.

    But that's beside the point. Mayweather has beaten fighters who had a much better 'puncher's chance'. He wins anyway.

    I wonder is Jason Quigley betting his house on Conor? Seems to think it's a straightforward KO win for Conor...Strange view when you weigh it up...

    If he knocks Floyd out cold he likely does the same to Quigley!

    Funny enough, I came across him this evening getting into photos with a few kids. Was surprised by how big he is. Getting constantly harassed by people to get into photos and talk bollix about mma/ boxing is going to wear thin at some stage.

    Big weight/size wise?

    Height wise he has 1 inch on Floyd..

    Has ridiculously long arms..

    There's not a pick on him. Just a broad chest and upper body. I don't follow his career but he must have killed himself to make 145lbs.

    Big upper body alright...

    His "size" will be of no benefit against Mayweather. If anything it will be a hindrance. Clearly slower than Floyd as well as being a bigger target.

    If people are thinking Conor's weight advantage is going to hurt Floyd they really have no clue about the nuances of boxing or the mechanical innate skills of Mayweather.
