I think you are right but going to be hard to defend himself as the best if he can't even knock out a non proffessional boxer.

Not sure if serious. Possible of course, especially using 8 ounce gloves...but Mayweather hasn't been as much of a knockout artist as his career has gotten on. Also McGregor has never been knocked out in 24 professional MMA fights, against guys using 4 ounce gloves who can also elbow, knee, and kick for knockouts. All 3 of Conor's losses have been to submission.

Looks like Conor had a little chubby at weigh ins last night think about all the $$ he was gonna make tonight.

Got about 12 people coming over to watch, they're all bringing liquor / food. The bars around here were charging like $25+ for a seat, we decided this would work out better. Never hosted a party though, should be interesting. Guess I should put on pants, unless it is one of "those" parties.

Tiny Irish Penis(TIP) myth busted? Or is that full mast right there boys?

Paulie must be upset about Conor bringing his balls.

Diaz' punches made Conor a little wobbly, but they did not knock him out cold. No way Floyd has the same power as Diaz.

I really can't believe McGregor is less than +2850, much less 285.

Said differently, I can't believe anyone who has never boxed professionally isn't +2850 against one of the best boxers of all time.

Can anyone explain to me how this fight isn't basically the plot of the movie great white hope? It seems like any retard could tell you that McGregor has no chance. Don't get me wrong, I'm rooting for white supremacy here, but come on. Everyone sees this as just a marketing bonanza right?

People are dumb.

The only chance McGregor has of winning is if it is rigged.

Bro, go to a sports bar. Otherwise, your $200-- it's gone.

Nah we've already figured out we spend nearly a hundred bucks when we got o a sports bar to watch a fight, and then we have to drive back home at midnight. We don't really save much money going to a bar.

You gotta remember that the way those odds are written, it's including giving you back your bet. So for instance if it's +500, you're only getting paid 4 to 1. That other hundo is the money you gave the book. So since you're doing friendly bets, 3:1 looks a little more realistic and fair.

This whole thing is reminding me of election night. None of the pundits or experts give the foul mouthed troll a chance. They all think the washed up former champ has it gift wrapped because it's his birthright.

I don't really care who wins, but I kind of want McGregor to just because I dislike Mayweather. But I still think it's unlikely he'll pull it off. Every bar around here has a $30 cover charge to watch this. Fuck that. UFC is always free.

Are you sure? I'm a noob, but I didn't think that's how it works

edit: ya, you'd get $500 back on top of your $100 you bet. It's 500 profit

No. If you place a 100 dollar bet at +500 odds and win you get 500 back. but you already gave them 100. So it's 400 profit. That's how books work, you have to give them money first. Among friends you don't do that so you'd just use 4:1 odds. Or give it all to a third party and one guy would give 100 and the other 400 to make it a 500 prize.
