You know they say that all men are created equal, but you look at Conor McGregor and you look at Floyd Mayweather and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another boxer, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But Conor's a genetic freak and he's not normal! So Floyd got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat Conor. Then you add Ido Portal to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. At the boxing match at T Mobile Arena, Floyd got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but Conor got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Floyd KNOWS he can't beat Conor in a real fight and he's not even gonna try.
So for Floyd you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus Conor's 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning. But then you take Conor's 75% chance of winning, if they was to go one on one in MMA, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. Folks the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for Floyd Mayweather.

Most of us are pretty sure Conor will win. It's been an open secret in the boxing world for years that Floyd is on his way out.

conor mcgregor beat the poo poo out a deck of cards that was being tossed at him by a magician. do you really think that floyd "extreme gambling problems" mayweather has a chance? house odds are always in favor of the man who decides to punch the cards.

Considering that Conor's gas tank seems pretty poor, there's a pretty good chance he's just too gassed to continue at some point, especially given how insanely fit mayweather is. That should be good.

Well Connor was predicting a victory in the first or second round so it won't come to that.

Also forget about his weird exercises where he waves his hands around. What's up with those punches where he gives like a little hop and then throws an upper cut? Who told him that kind of thing was Ok?

"So I was playing COD yesterday, and some flankenstein came up from behind and shot me."
It took a ton of negotiating and lots of fancy presents but after speaking with the wife I am now allowed to place a huge bet on the Mayweather fight. I can't bet pro football for 6 weeks if Iose so here we are. Facetimed with the bookie last night and he said the Mayweather fight is now at Floyd -357 I am stunned at how low it is and spent all night making a deal with the wife so I can place a substantial bet on the fight. Confirmed with the bookie that he wont cancel this bet and he also is letting me go over my max limit for this because he is laying off most of the action anyways. I guess he has a ton of people betting loads of money on Conor which blows my mind. So after a new bedroom set, a new dog named floyd by the way (was the only way I would let her get one) and some new privacy landscaping around our lanai, I can now announce my bet.


50k on Mayweather at -357. Largest bet I have ever placed in my life and I am super confident in this bet. I know the fix may be in but the rush will be worth it. I am also copy and pasting this post into the Don't bet on MMA thread.

if this calculator i used is right, betting 50k to win roughly 15k is craziness, even if it looks like free money

It will most likely stay in my account and I will use it to bet MMA or other poo poo. If I'm with my bookie I might go straight to the casino and play some roulette or craps with it or sit down at a poker game. It all depends on where I am at and the amount of alcohol in my system.

Not bet on football for 6 weeks and not really think much about it to be honest. My bankroll for sports betting is about 10k a week so it's not a big deal to me to lose it I just move on to the next thing I gamble on.

Chris Eubank said a very important factor about this fight.. floyd has never stepped in the ring with a ufc fighter sure.. but he defo hasn't stepped in the ring with an Irish man..

That's all that needs to be said. The hardest people on the planet.

If any American says that they are.. there very wrong all the best champions bar 2 (Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson) are British.
