He started off by saying he didn't follow the sport, referred to 'This McGregor chap' like he doesn't know who he is, then says if it lasts more than half a round it'll be down to corruption. He then thinks McGregor will end up with a reconfigured face and damaged vital organs. There's stating the obvious and then there's hyperbole and if someone posts hyperbole like that they deserved to be called.

The guy is going to get his face smashed. No way it's lasting a round.

walshb wrote: » Just to say that you don't need to be an MMA or boxing fan/contributor to call something that is very obvious.. The obvious being that the "fight" is a complete mismatch.. I guarantee if it was Floyd stepping into the Octagon and the poster posted similar here he'd be thanked... MMA fans, or more particularly, Conor fanboys can't seem to accept that on paper this is a huge mismatch. The poster claiming this is just logic.

SteM wrote: » My guess is that they've only paid out on the Mayweather Win Outright bets. Not much money will have to be paid out on that that bet on because the odds were so poor that not many will have put money on it. Most people will be putting money on a Mayweather TKO or picking the round he wins etc which hasn't be paid out on as far as I'm aware. They've reportedly paid out £250,000 and there are stories about it all over the internet and all the English newspapers. Well worth their while for that sort of publicity, never mind what the actual result is. They paid out early on Hilary Clinton to win the US presidential election too iirc. Remember too, the reported pay out is £250,000 - that doesn’t mean they are losing £250,000. It's not specified in the reports if the £250,000 total payout includes the stake money or not. If it does include the stake money then their loss is nowhere close the £250,000.
