wonderfullife wrote: » Yeah you were wrong the first and second time you said it and you're still wrong now. Gamebred has lost the plot also. But answer me this Walshb: By your logic, you believe Floyd Mayweather has more chance of beating Anthony Joshua in boxing than he does of beating Conor in MMA?

GerryDerpy wrote: » Her voice had me fooled :-) The reason she has no chance is due to the relative difference in ability to supply and or receive kinetic energy. I believe that is comparable to Conor vs Stipe. I cannot see a scenario where conor wins. You asked the question - that is my answer and reason.

The punchers chance scenario in both cases presents more chance of success with Floyd landing on Conor with 4 oz gloves than him landing on 250 lbs 6 feet 5 inch AJ with 10 oz gloves. I can't believe I have to point this obvious sh1t out.

I guess for now we can just keep an eye on sports news sites to get an indication of when and where these might be happening. One slightly annoying thing about this fight is that it so far isn't entirely clear (to me at least) whether the promotion / marketing is going to come from the UFC end or the Mayweather end - for instance, would Dana White be introducing the press conferences, as he would a UFC event? Or will it be entirely Floyd's people handling it all now that the UFC have signed their end of the contract?

wonderfullife wrote: » I expected it from the boxing trolls who are clueless about MMA but didn't expect it from MMA fans. Crazy stuff. Trying to tell me Zab Judah threw a straight left at the speed of light due to his ninja reflexes. Lmao. It was a double jab, step-in left hand, thrown with no speed at all and still landed flush. But of course they expect Conor to look like Homer Simpson in there against Floyd. Scandalous lack of knowledge of Conor's skills. Here's a list of people who, so far, say Conor *CAN* win. Emphasis on "can", not "will": Steve Collins Freddie Roach Al Iaquinta Dan Hardy Jason Quigley Stitch Duran Eddie Alvarez Brendan Schaub Chris Weidman Joe Rogan Conor Wallace GSP But what would all these people know when we have internet experts stating he has a 0% chance.

wonderfullife wrote: » I think Conor lands 90-100 punches on Floyd through 9 rounds by the official Compubox numbers. Berto landed 83 through 12. There's obviously a chance Conor KO's him or gets KO'd before then but if it gets to the end of the 9th I expect good numbers. Lots of people are saying he has zero chance of winning. Mindless stuff. It's boxing he is transitioning to, something he has been doing in practice for 15 years. I'm open to all possibilities here, including Conor winning on points at the far end of the spectrum and at the other end, Floyd KO'ing Conor in 10 seconds.

wonderfullife wrote: » There's no irony. If I was saying Conor will 100% win, then there would be irony. Anyone saying the chance of victory is 0% is trolling. I'm fine if people want to say 0.5% or 1% if they believe it.
martyos121 wrote: » The fact that he's so long suggests that there's a ridiculous amount going on Conor to win this, and that beggars belief to be honest. I can't imagine any high rollers even considering a wager on McGregor so it must be a huge amount of normal enough bets going on him.
Django99 wrote: » I can't remember where I saw it but an American bookie has said that their liability on a McGregor win is huge at the moment but they expect the cash to come in for Floyd closer to the fight. I would imagine the 1/6 price will be smashed fight week, the high rollers will surely see it as a sure thing.
