Is no-one going to mention that MacGregor lost? Phone posting just now but Mayweather's retiring so I guess there's no chance of a rematch. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/aug/27/floyd-mayweather-conor-mcgregor-boxing-fight-report

Yeah on the one hand he got knocked out by a 40 year old retiree who hasn't KOd anyone (properly) in like a decade, on the other in all fairness he did go 10 rounds with the world's best boxer and Mayweather said he was tougher than he expected. He got paid a completely absurd amount to go through the motions of what was definitely gonna happen and didn't really embarrass himself too badly in the process. The only schadenfreude is on the fans who expected anything interesting to happen

Fight was called because a) he could no longer keep his hands up and b) was unsteady on his legs. But not because he was all loopy from punches. He ran out of gas and had zero energy to protect himself, which everyone predicted. That's why the ref called it with a TKO. All said, he did far better than I thought he would. I figured he'd be running on fumes by the 6th round.

Oh yeah fair enough, he didn't get KOd at all, and he's more tired than loopy. But he was against the rope taking big punches and unable to defend himself, it's just stopping an actual KO at the point where its inevitable and pointless. Not a KO but (discounting Ortiz) still I think the first time Mayweather's finished a fight early in like a decade?

I actually thought it was an interesting fight from a technical perspective. Mayweather put on a clinic of how to approach an opponent of whom you have no knowledge or even tapes of previous bouts to study. I just wish the guy wasn't a total douche-bag (what with the wife beating and all). I think with a couple years of serious training, McGreggor could transition into a world-class boxer, but he does have time against him. He's already in the peak performance window age-wise. A few more years and his speed and strength will start to decline.

From an entertainment perspective he should go back to mma. He is completely gimped by the boxing rule set. If you don't watch mma go back and check out some of his fights they are really fun.

That could actually be fun to watch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ali_vs._Antonio_Inoki quote:As soon as the opening bell rang, Inoki ran the 16-foot gap and slid at the legs of Ali, who sidestepped the attack. Inoki stayed on the ground for all but the first 14 seconds of the three-minute first round, kicking at Ali and landing one clean hit to Ali's right leg. The majority of the fight saw Inoki on his back kicking Ali's legs, occasionally connecting. By the third round, a wound had appeared on Ali's left knee.

They definitely would lol they sanctioned this, they'll sanction anything that makes them money. There is very little they won't allow. Floyd would never take that fight though, he took this one because it was the easiest thing in the world for him to make 100 million before PPV cuts even.

I know something like 95% of people bet on the underdog who was destined to lose. Do the odds actually affect how much your return is? Like if I were to bet $100 on Mayweather, would I still just be getting $200 back? Or does it just affect bookies?

So if you bet a few bucks on McGregor, you'd end up getting a bunch back. If you bet a thousand bucks on Mayweather, you'd only make a fraction in profit. There were a bunch of people who made tiny bets on McGregor because they figured it was worth tossing a few bucks with the hope of making a small windfall. On the other hand, most of the money was in larger best on Mayweather, where it was close to a sure thing to make a small profit.

I believe it was -400 Mayweather, +300 McGregor. That means that a $400 bet on Mayweather would earn $100. Alternatively, a $100 bet on McGregor would earn $300.
