Been rumours in the last few weeks that Frampton and fast car Eddie have been spotted out and about looking a bit pally.

 

I honestly think Framptons still all over the place and hasn't got over how easily Santa Cruz dealt with him 2nd time around.

Totally correct he is all over place and unless he gets his shite together he will be washed up already

It's taking me all day to finish the Crawford card due to other commitments  bit of an anti climax I didn't think Indongo would win but didn't expect him to get throughly floored inside 3. Under card was very boring, Dyllan was actually a small highlight, utter beat down.

Mayweather's odds are now as high as 3/10 for the McGregor fight.

 

I'm thinking of piling in massively at that price, but something just doesn't sit right. Ordinarily Mayweather would wipe the floor with him, but can't help feeling that elements of this fight will be contrived, and that he will allow McGregor to have moments of success with a view to a rematch/quieten the narrative that the whole thing was a farce from the get go. There is no business sense in Mayweather making him look like a complete mug which he would in any ordinary circumstance and both Mayweather and McGregor are astute businessmen.

 

But despite that, those odds just look too tempting. Anyone got any thoughts?

SkyBet are offering 3/1 on McGregor which is stupidly low and defies all logic. It could be that a whole new population who've never watched Boxing before are lumping on McGregor, I just can't see any way in which he wins if it's unscripted so to speak. I think Mayweather could even win if he ruptured an achilles Haye style. Something smells.

I don't think anything smells, I think the bookies are just responding to where the money has been laid. This is uncharted territory by and large, so a lot will bet with the sport they follow and if fans are placing money on mcgregor they will always lower the price.

Its not Mcgregor vs Mayweather for most, It's boxing vs UFC.

[lestajigs]

I cannot honastly believe how people can be that 

silly to put money on mcgregor, "instead of throwing it away, give it me ??"

I have no idea mate... nobody seems to have a real argument either just that mayweather is old.  My favourite part is people saying I'm just blinded by records before quoting mcgregors k.o record 

[Ted Maul]

The whole thing is a total farce, and not good for the sport.

 

I wasn't going to watch it, but sounds like my mates are ordering it. It might be interesting, in the same way that a car wreck is when you drive past- you don't want to look, but you kind of want to know what the damage is.

You are a lucky man, enjoy your winnings.

 

I've never seen anything as strange in sport as the arguments being put forward for McGregor to win this.

Exactly the same reason I'm watching.

McGregor to win this just due to the sheer determination obviously Flloyd is the better boxer but McGregor is an animal... could go either way its def not a dead cert on Mayweather

[leicsmac]

The whole thing is a farce between two utterly unlikeable and egotistical human beings.

 

Of course I'll be watching.

[Guest BlueBrett]

My mate reckons they're going to show it on the big screen at Creamfields..bullshit surely? How much would that license have set them back?!

It's a complete set up, he'll do a flying knee and get disqualified in the 7th and they'll get all the mugs to pay another £25 for a rematch.

You can't win a boxing match on determinition, Zab hated Floyd so much he would have died beating him but he could barely lay a glove on him.

 

You can win a fight on it, but not a boxing match. Mosley, Pacman ODH couldn't pin down Floyd and they both boxing legends.

Will be interesting it wont be as easy as you think for Floyd though imo as long as McGregor is aware of what Floyd is capable of which I'm sure he will be he has every chance.

It's only £25 there?  $99.95 here!  I'll watch the YouTube highlights....

Apparently it's true 

[GaelicFox]

1/3 mayweather 

 

10,000 / 30,000 

 

never been an easier way to make 33% profit in 36 mins

I think it will almost be laughable, Floyd had made top class fighters look silly chasing him.

 

Is Conor even that powerful? He's gone the distance twice in UFC and that's with those tiny 4oz gloves on, he'll have 8Oz ones on tomorrow so half his punching power is gone just stepping into the ring.

[The Guvnor]

So no one thinks the 40 yr old Pugilist can be beaten by the 29 yr old MMA animal, I think the Irishman has got inside Money Mayweathers head, all it takes is one lucky punch, Conor to win 3rd round.
