Pertaining a fix, the betting line opened up at 30-1. Last time I checked it was all the way down to 5-1, which means there is serious money being bet on McGregor in Vegas..

Since MacGregor is out of his element, Mayweather by decision, I can't see a KO, I can see a TKO on cuts or something like that.

I won't watch, I learned my lesson paying for Mayweather fights not living up to the hype.

You have to wonder if it's real. This is one of the greatest boxers of all time against a guy who, as a boxer, is essentially an amateur. MMA is not boxing. Come on, get real. But there is so much money involved and it's such a corrupt sport, who can trust it? As a pure fight, even with Mayweather's defensive style, I would say he can end it at any time.

Starting to swing back in the other direction. Mayweather money coming in late. Bunch of bettors deciding it might be an easy way to accrue a little interest on their money.

If I was a betting man, I'd do the same. I'm NOT a betting man because I've seen too many weird things happen in fights. Guy can get cut, DQ'd, trip and break his leg, fall out of a ring and not get back in time, bite a guys ear off, one guy eats bad seafood the night before, crooked ref, crooked judges, etc., etc., etc........

McGregor only has a chance if he surprises him by coming out fast and swinging hoping to land one of his power lefts.

If he tries to box he has no chance in the world.

I am picking Mayweather, but I am certainly concerned.

I hope this is not fixed and all about the money, but, the odds have reduced at a staggering rate in favor of McGregor in Vegas. Secondly, if McGregor wins, guess what? Fight 2 with the same or higher paydays for both guys. And then what? Yes, Floyd wins that one and here comes Fight 3....Just speaking out loud...

Now, what was it P.T. Barnham said about 'suckers'?

Interesting that Mayweather ran the ole "oky doke" on Conor and let him punch himself out for 3 rounds before turning on the afterburners and wearing him out with skill and savvy.

I know a lot of people don't like Floyd because his style isn't exciting, but it's tough to argue that it isn't effective.

Obviously Mayweather has trained in anticipation of that strategy. As perhaps the greatest defensive boxer in history, I can't imagine it is going to present a problem for him.
