Not that i'd bet on it but Its a joke that Mcgregor is only 6/1, even Pac was 3/1 & Maidana 10/1

Conor will shock the world, mark my words.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm starting to come round to this way of thinking as well. The smug boxing community are so adamant that McGregor has no chance in this fight. I'm not saying that McGregor will win the fight or even that he'll KO Floyd but if he manages to last 12 rounds then that's a victory in itself. Even more so if he manages to floor Floyd at some point in the fight.

"if he manages to last 12 rounds then that's a victory in itself"

Why?

Mayweather won't turn this into a brawl.

He will manage the fight and beat McGregor at boxing, as is his style.

I'd give mcgregor more credit if he just threw the kitchen sink & ended up getting knocked out than just being happy with going 12 rounds

Mayweather going on about fighting in an octagon.

so being smug is looking at the evidence in front of you, canelo and pac most recently guys who couldn't even trouble mayweather or even remotely hurt him but forget that conner talks a lot and brings excitement so yeah lets just say he's going to win and ignore everything before, and if anyone thinks conner has more power than those two you must be deluded as the people that think conner has a chance

There it is again, the old you must be deluded to think that Conor has a chance line. If it was such a 100% certainty that Mayweather wins and if Conor has absolutely zero chance (which is what you're insinuating) then there would be almost no interest in this fight.

And nobody is arguing that in terms of sheer boxing ability Mayweather is obviously streets ahead but Mayweather is approaching 41 and he himself has admitted he isn't the fighter of even two years ago, let alone five years ago. McGregor has a puncher's chance, that's the point and if he connects with anything remotely meaningful then Floyd could be in big trouble.

Of course there would. Firstly because something like this has never happened before at such a high level.
-------------------------------------------------
Yes it has. Ali fought against Inoki in a weird boxing/wrestling/MMA hybrid match in the 70's and James Toney fought against Randy Couture in an MMA fight.

And don't forget Thunderlips Vs Rocky

Donald trump would have no chance against mayweather doesn't mean the entire world wouldn't tune in to watch it

As a complete joke contest to laugh yourself to death over. Is that what you're saying this fight is then ?

Yup a guy who is 0-0 is fighting the best boxer of his generation, it's almost the plot to rocky l

Just watched the second one in Toronto, McGregor did a stand up routine and was counting down for the crowd to cheer and boo. Awful.

Mayweather getting McGregor to say yes to betting his fight check was hilarious even more if it actually happens.

The whole things are so corny

2nd press conference

Still funny but Felt like that one was really fake, not scripted because you can't script what they said but i mean as in they purposely went OTT and were acting etc was like a wrestling promo & didn't feel genuine

The whole things fake

Both said it's just entertainment for the fans and nothing to do with the fight

This reminds me of the South Park episode of rasslin.

They can't sell the fight, so they sell the soap opera.

I guess all the kids and not too bright guys will enjoy it.

That's fighting in general these days

Don't get why everyone feels like they have to defend themselves, if you like it you like it, if you don't you don't, doesn't mean because you like it someone else can't dislike it and just because you don't doesn't mean someone else can't.

Everyone sees things differently, there's millions & millions of people with an interest in this fight & there's millions with no interest.

But why come on here just to slate people for having an interest in the fight or finding it entertaining? It's only not in youe opinion

Is anyone actually excited by this fight.

I just can't get why people want this.

Anyone who thinks this is anything than a Floyd shutout needs their head checking

The build up so far has been terrible, horrible scripted press confeences

Anything close to any other McGregor press conference, not pure crowd pandering

Not as much as he did in Toronto, there is a line.
