McGregor v Mayweather |OT| Mayweather is about to change Conor's bum life 26/8/17

I see the weigh-in is on the YT UFC channel and being promoted by UFC; is this fight taking place in a steel cage or a boxing ring?

i honestly think Mayweather might throw the fight - he's got nothing to lose except pride, and he'll get a huge payday, wins from betting against himself, his record will be intact ("that was a dumb exhibition not a boxing match" etc.), and he can retire - again.

I'm normally genuinely really good at making money on boxing, it's the only sport i still bet on as I'm so shite at predicting all the rest, but this one is a nightmare to call. In terms of when Mayweather will win, obvs.

I can see them making it a bit of a spectacle and not wanting to risk anything rash the first couple of rounds while they figure each other out so have changed from rounds 1-3 to rounds 8-11. Will prob put extra on 7 and 8 specifically. Really hard to make any accurate prediction.

Mayweather to win, McGregor gassed in the 5th

Except if he's found out to be betting against himself then he would likely end up in prison. Also it's a fully sanctioned fight so his record would be 49-1.

Different states in America have different laws but there would certainly be some sort of investigation to try to establish if he threw the fight if his inner circle put bets on him to lose. The whole principle of it being illegal is that you are defrauding the general public who are placing bets in good faith. If millions are placed on mayweather to win and then he's found to be throwing the fight then that's an awful lot of people who have effectively been conned out of their money.

Any gambling experts?

Was looking to sign up online but fancy a good deal in the ways of free bets etc.

Can anyone recommend?

I don't mind putting money down.

Cheers

What are the chances of finding a stream for this? Will they be "policing" it too much?

Round 1 double knockout.

That would be the best outcome.

600K Hublot LaFerrari crystal watch :slol:

To answer my own question from earlier, I see Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer is reporting this fight is taking place inside the cage under "Mayweather's rules". As if things weren't Pro-wrestling enough already...

I'm convinced this prematch hype is all completely contrived.

You could deposit £10 into William Hill, bet on something with odds of 1.5 or greater, and you'll get three free £10 bets right away.

Paddy Power is similar. You deposit £5 though and get two free £10 bets, and one free £5 bet. I'm not sure if they give you the free bets right away; you'd have to ask their live help.

Feasibly then you could put down £15 (your money), and get 5 x £10 and 1 x £5 bets for free.

Might make my first ever bet using this combination. I suppose with enough contrasting bets I should win at least one of them. :lol:

strawberry float it, let's get hype.

Anyone know what time the fight is on? Probs catch it the morning if it's a 4 o clock job.

The main event begins at 4am BST, but the fight itself may start closer to 5am.

He's even written it as such on the site:

Mayweather weighed in at 149.5 pounds and looked in great shape at that weight. He didn't cut any weight since the fight is at 154 pounds. McGregor weighed in at 153 pounds, and is expected to go into the cage at 168 pounds, giving him a nearly 20 pound weight advantage.
