If Money Mayweather doesn't win this boxing match, it will be considered the "greatest upset" of all time. People who are in the fight game or boxing world know exactly what I'm talking about. 

95 percent of bets are on McGregor that's why the lines +500 he should be +2000.

Listened to all these Conor has zero chance, which you may be right.

But I have never once heard anything about age when saying it's over before it begins.  

Guy hasn't fought in 2 years and the last guy he fought lost to a journeyman fighter in Australia looking old.

That's the monkey is the wrench of this whole thing.

What does Jeff Horn have to do with anything?  lol   i don't understand why you keep bringing his name up.

And for the record Horn and Pacquaio would easily beat McGregor, as would every other 147 or 154 pound boxer of consequence.  

It's like i'm living in the freaking twilight zone or are people this delusional to give a fighter who has never had a pro boxing match any sort of chance vs a 49-0 fighter who hasn't come close to losing in 15 years.  No wonder bookies make so much money.

Pacquiao's the last guy Mayweather fought.  If Pacquiao was done it means Mayweather hasn't fought a guy in his prime in several years and now he's older.

Horn was a schoolteacher and took Pacquiao the distance.  Pacquiao should have won but Horn bullied him.  Of course Conor McGregor is going to try to do the exact same thing Horn did, fight through the punches and maul Floyd.

You want to fork down -700 on Floyd be my guest don't say u weren't warned.

This is James toney vs randy couture in boxing form. A sham. A joke. A money grab

ok man good luck.

I'm not touching this thing I might put $5 on Conor just for the h *ll of it.  Sometimes I do that for kicks.

Will be entertaining hearing about the whales putting loads on either fighter.

Andre Berto 9/2015 was Mayweather's last fight. Conor's is a counter puncher catching fighters coming in. That's the wrong style vs Mayweather.   TKO/KO/DQ

I don't know about Conor but he would be crazy to be a counterpuncher.  I have to believe he'll come out like Maidana and brawl.  Even Floyd said he expects him to come out like Maidana.

Hard to believe Conor will accept being like Pacquiao and just sit back and be a punchin bag all day.  This guy fights in MMA he's used to getting hit with hard gloves not soft fluffy Mayweather gloves and Mayweather knocks nobody out.

Not to say Mayweather might win in easy fashion but I wouldn't do it at -700 you can forget that.  You can be sure though somebody will come in with $700k + because boxing bettors love to win.

If you were young going up against an old guy, what would you do?

Run the guy to death.  That means punching hitting chasing making him work because one thing you can be SURE of is you have more stamina than the old guy and he'll wear down.  

Horn tried that against Pacquiao amazingly it was Horn that wore down though at the end.  Probably from getting punched too much lol

I guess Conor was knocked out today in practice. That is super bad to be knocked out this close to a fight. I'm all in on Floyd -550.

Horn is a professional boxers who has fought at a high level so comparing him to Conor is silly. I'm not taking anything away from Conor but he is an amateur in boxing. Remember, Mayweather left on top he wasn't losing rounds, fights, or getting dominated. Yes, he has slowed but make no mistake about it he will whoop McGreagor's behind. Even if he came out retirement today to fight professional boxers, he would  still be ranked top 3 in division. Mayweather - 500 was a gift.

I'd pay $100 to watch Floyd senior box McGregor. Not that's a competitive fight. Still have to favor senior -150

ok last fight was berto.  

saw a bit of floyd's body he is looking aged.  nothing against his brilliant boxing but that is not the body of a 25 year old.  face still looks clean, no fat, but the body just looks aged it's breaking down. sadly happens to all of us

seems the stupid public is on conor but every video i see of mma fighters and boxers not named joe rogan or dana white or somebody in his corner says it's a joke.  atlas roach lampley berto ortiz hopkins the list goes on and on these guys think it's a joke.

floyd mentioned the horn fight and said anything can happen. floyd is generally honest

you tell me man. i've been around too long.  i don't believe the sparring video session, i don't believe the being knocked out hype.  too old to fall for any of it.

-500 be my guest.  vegas is looking for you

Floyd was -8000 vs berto and you think -500 is too high vs a 0-0 tomato can? Lol your level of ignorance on this fight is laughable. Jeff horn agrees.

here's my take.

mcgregor is a counter puncher with no right hand and questionable stamina. mayweather is a genius at defensive counter punching, he'll move to conor's right, staying away from his power hand, and jab the body early. by the 5 or 6th rd mcgregor will be fatigued, then the straight rights come more often. floyd by tko, ref/corner stoppage.

I think I'm gonna take Floyd to win by decision at +250. Odds are just too tempting to pass up on, usually Floyd by decision is a -160~ favorite, and he always goes the distance. He's definitely gonna beat up Conor, he's not gonna get KOed but a red or corner stoppage is a definite possibility. I'm going to roll the dice and play the odds on this one

Fellas where are the sharps. The books are all saying they need floyd bigtime. The line keeps dropping and they can't get any $ on floyd.

So what is going on? Sharps just waiting for a better price? Where are the sharps. Books are looking for big $ on floyd and it ain't coming yet. Why.

You do realize that the public has bet against Floyd in damn near every single fight he's had in the past 15 years.  And how did that work out for them?

This is nothing new.  You always see the big dog getting the majority of the small fish bets.  And the big favorite will get the majority of the big whale bets.  

You are reading into nothing.  

Jeff Horn.

Floyd by stoppage is free money.  Take the free money from the books.  I don't know what's wrong with some of you who aren't seeing this.
