4am Sunday morning our time.
Anyone splashed out the £20 to watch the fight on telly?
Any predictions?
I reckon Mayweather to win in the third.
-
Not shelled out will try watch afterwards at a reasonable hour :).
I recon mayweather too. I think mcgregar will put up a half decent fight.
I think Conor has the punching power but floyds defence is 2nd to none.
In my opinion if mcgregar wins they will say it's cos floyd hasn't fought for two years and is retired.
If mayweather wins they will say Conor had no chance as he's never had an armature or pro boxing match.
-
Yep Mayweather to win by a knockout, it's a boxing match and it's basically a talented amateur fighting a professional. There's always the chance Mcgregor will land a lucky blow though. The other thing in Mcgregors favour is his age- at 29 he's in his prime. If it does go the distance Mayweather as a 40 year old will suffer. I'll catch the repeat with the usual Sunday hangover.
-
Mayweather hasn't knocked anyone out in about ten years tho ?
And on the other hand 3 x 5 min rounds (15 mins) in UFC compared To 12 x 3 min rounds (36 mins) in boxing
Mayweather is used to going the distance. Where as Conor usually finishes before the end.
So mayweather has the advantage there too
-
If give it to Mayweather but I reckon it's gonna go the distance. McGregor is used to full body grappling etc so I've no doubt he'll have the stamina to go the distance and i honestly believe he's the harder hitter of the two but as some of you said Mayweathers defence is amazing. In 49 fights he's never even been cut. Not to mention he has the longer reach and far superior technical skill.
So my money goes on Mayweather for the win on points
-
Been saying Mayweather in round 8 for a while now, i don't think it'll end before that with the amount of money involved.
Weird fight though that shouldn't really be happening, especially for an obscene purse.
-
I think the only thing in Conor's favour is that he's used to being hit with 2oz gloves
where as mayweather going to be using 8oz. They will feel like pillows to mcgregor.
-
McGregor is as hard as coffin nails but he's got as much chance as winning as Mayweather would have if rolls were reversed & he was facing McGregor in MMA. Could land a lucky hard one though, you never know.
-
Big weight difference not in McGregor's favour, 15lb apparently!
-
Mate was showing me some of Mayweather's fights earlier, he's pretty damn quick.
And can throw and take a dig.
49 wins is no fluke.
-
Yeah aparently going to cost him a couple of mill if he dunt drop it too
-
There are many sports these days that are so bent it's ridiculous.
From a betting point of view the rewards are huge.
These lads don't need the dosh but everyone loves a good winner.
Miss a snooker ball by 1mm and you have a winner without anyone having a scooby.
The film "Snatch" springs to mind.

It was on the radio yesterday that paddy power have already been paying out bets that people said mayweather to win. As they think it's such a sure thing. They paid out and stoped taking bets. It will be a big shock to their system if he doesn't. All the big money that they will have to pay out and the fact they already paid the wrong thing. I can't see them being able to reclaim this bets they have Miss paid.

They're not stupid, and will have covered all bets either way whatever the result. The big bookies will never be out of pocket.
Announcing this payout is just a good bit of marketing to entice more punters to have a dabble.
I don't mind the odd bet but this event is way too random for me from a betting point of view.
-
There is live commentary of the fight on Radio 5 for anyone that wishes to listen in...you have to just imagine the rest!😃
-
That might be the way to do it. Save money. Listen live on radio 5 then watch the highlights later in the day
-
So how many of you would step in with one of them ? Be no contest but I'd willingly get my ass kicked for the same payout there getting.

The money could pay for your after care for life i s'pose. :lol

This is just a load of pish from two hyped up has beens, it just shows the certain section of the public who are easily conned by this pish. More the mugs them

Wouldn't need much aftercare I'd be down in one pinch lmao

I'd chance it with mayweather anytime. Dunno about mcgregor though he seems like a nasty little bastard when in the octogon. On the other hand I've had shits that weigh more than both of um so if probably give it a go for the money haha

I love a bit of pish :D
It's the pish that makes the world go round :woot
Roll on 4am for another dose of pish! :lol
-
Well it was a great fight. Mayweather wins in the 10th, but what a superb performance from McGregor!.
-
Yeah he did well. I do think he was knackered towards the end and that's when mayweather came strong. I think it's because he's not used to going for asking as a full boxing match. Would of been interesting ref hadn't of stopped it by two if he would of got a 2nd wind. Also if he lasted I think he probably could of won on points because he was stronger in the earlier rounds.
Bet he was frustrated because he kept on going for a hammer punch to the back of the head like in UFC.
-
Would be interesting now for a multi million dollar rematch in Ireland mma rules.
I bet the outcome would be completely different.i bet mayweather wouldn't last as long as what Conor did if the tables were turned.
Good result for both of them really as I bet no one expected Conor to go as far. And mayweather overtakes rocky Marciano to an incredible record of 50-0.
-
I thought it was a shambles of a fight. McGregor's stance was all over the place he left himself quite open most of the time.
And i lost count of how many times he got behind him ready to take him to the ground, then realised that wasn't allowed so started karate chopping him in the back of the head.
I don't think the ref should've stopped it when he did either, McGregor was certainly knackered and in a bit of trouble but he wasn't hurt, and that was plain to see straight after.
I reckon the ref had a bet on a TKO in the 10th round :lol

By every analyst's point estimation McGregor had the first 3 rounds at most. Mayweather would have walked it if it had gone to points. I was shocked the ref stopped it too..... Was waiting for the knockout haha

If you take into consideration the sort of punishment dished out in MMA fights before the ref steps in then this one seems particularly premature, and you could even see and hear McGregor saying the same thing as well.
It was only the speed of the punches being thrown that was catching him out, i don't think either side were really being hurt by punches in all honesty.
McGregor appears to have a head made of granite so he was just soaking them up, but in the same breath his punches weren't anywhere near powerful enough to do any real damage to Mayweather in comparison to how he's used to being hit by a pro boxer.
You have to give McGregor his credit though, he's still gone and fought someone who's unbeaten and not got hurt at all, i just wish the ref had left them to it that's all.

To my mind it was a one sided fight 2 completely different fight disciplines, it's like entering a horse in the grand national and tying it's back legs together. It was purely about making money both for the fighters but mainly the promoters etc. If they had fought under MMA rules Mayweather would not have lasted the first 3 rounds.

I'd be amazed if he lasted more than one round at MMA.

Like I say. I think that they should have a rematch but in magregars ring

Why?
It was McGregor that wanted to try his luck, not Mayweather, so it's not his problem.
Same sort of thing with Tyson, he knew it wasn't his discipline, if that's the right word for him, so he just never even considered the MMA ring.
I remember boxer Trevor Berbick getting into a Bushido ring years ago which was an early form of MMA, and he had boxing gloves on and was padded up to his knees.
The Bushido champion kept kicking him in the same spot on the thigh until he got bored of asking the ref to tell him to stop it, then he jumped out the ring and the fans ripped up their seats and threw them at him.
One of the weirdest fights i've seen, it's probably on YouTube if you have a look.
-
It is on YouTube and worth a look, just look up "Trevor Berbick Bushido" and it's the first video.
It just made me laugh again, i dunno what he was thinking? :lol
-
At the end of the day the Mayweather-McGregor fight was entertainment wasn't it?.
That's what I viewed it as.
Surely no one truly thought the future of boxing hinged on this bout?. You'd think so to hear some peoples reactions.
I never understand why people got so wound up about the money either. If people choose to pay then that's their choice. I wouldn't want someone telling me what I can and cannot spend my cash on.
-
Yeah it was just entertainment.
Nothing more
And to be fair it was entertaining
But it was like asking Bradford bulls to play Man Utd a football game at old Trafford.
Alvarez vs golovkin that will be the best fight this year. A proper boxing match. And got that my money's on golovkin all the way
-
The whole thing ------ I just think the two of them are business partners and nothing more
-
What ever it was, Mayweather is going to have a comfortable retirement and good luck to him, and he retires undefeated if I'm not mistaken.

It would seem unthinkable to believe he could squander that amount of money, but I wouldn't put it past him, although to him being down to his last $10million would be like us having our last 10 pence in our pocket.
-
They all seem to do it tho. Millions in the bank 1 week bankrupt the next.
All the fancy cars and the lifestyle posh clothes drink drugs gambling. Nothing better to do.
Whereas if he bought a fazer he could have endless fun out on the road and only spend his money
On fuel butties and brews :rollin
-
total farce from the 1st bell, Connors stance was wide open and most if not all boxers could've sparked him in R1
was surprised he never got warned for hammer fists but Mayweather gave as good by rubbing his laces in Connors face in the clinches. Connor punches with his arms and there's no body weight behind the punch hence he never hurt Mayweather. Its a travesty that the Rock's record of 49/0 has gone after a piss take of a "boxing"match
-
Yeah when u look at the punch count first few rounds mcgregar was throwing 30/40/50 punches and landing 9/8/9
Mayweather was throwing 6/10/12 and landing 2/5/5
Round 9 and ten magregar threw 36/9 and landed 10/4 to
mayweathers thrown 68/28 landing 42/20
When u hear his press conference afterwards saying that he let magregar go for it early on knowing he wanted to knock him out. He was letting him tire himself before he came good and went back at magregar.
He out boxed him pure and simple
But the. Everyone knew he was going to out box him. .

Good call. Mayweather came across extremely well in the post fight conference with the media (same day infact). Intelligent individual.
Although you cant predict how all those years of (taking) head shots in the ring, might affect him in 10 / 20 years... Muhammad Ali, among many others, comes to mind.
