If mayweather tried his hugging technique on McGregor there is gonna be a big surprise for him, and not the good kind.

If Conor "accidentally" trips Mayweather exiting a clinch, what typically happens?

For example, no MMA fighter has ever learned to yell "form voltron" for no reason. So thats some vocabulary right there. Also apparently in boxing you can still call people faggots so thats another big one. I don't think conor can hang.

Speaking of, has there been any kind of late onslaught of betting action on Mayweather yet? Last I read all the bookmakers are up poo poo creek without a paddle if Conor wins.

So has Floyd, in a far more literal and accurate sense, and does boxing, which is the sport it's actually going to be contested in.

Not really. Most bets are on McGregor right now but overwhelmingly the most money is on Mayweather. So yeah if Conor wins they'll have to pay a lot of big payouts, but the sheer amount of money on Floyd should balance it out. I don't think they'll take the Holm bath again.

Mr. Nice! posted:Not really. Most bets are on McGregor right now but overwhelmingly the most money is on Mayweather. Not true in all cases. MGM's VP is on record saying this could be their worst less ever unless late money comes in on Mayweather. And I was just reading earlier that an Australian bookmaker is still at 80% money on Conor as of today.

Mayweather beat his wife in front of his kids so I hope Conor kills him. With a gun. I'd pay $150 to watch that replay.

Skip My Posts posted:then why arent they adjusting the odds more to get some money on floyd? that makes no sense yeah, this. i always thought the odds aren't intended to reflect the chances of one fighter or the other, but are used to steer money one way or the other in order to balance the money pool equally between the two choices. In a binary bet, Vegas makes it's money from the vig.

McGregor gets the immediate DQ when he punches Floyd square in the dick and stomps him in the nuts repeatedly, believe it.

throwing around money like that reassures bettors that they have the money to payout. Esp needed in skittish economic times like these.
