    @ Eff Pandas

    I'm directing this at the people talking that Conor has "no chance."



    (I'm sure the Mayweather money will start coming in soon)

      so, it's +400 Floyd, UD. If you bet $100 on Floyd UD, how much you win, and vice versa for Connor bet and win?

      No.

      +400 means...
      You bet 100, you win 400.
      You actually get back 500 (400 plus your 100 back)

      -400 means...
      You bet 400, you win 100 (or bet 100, you win 25), etc

        First of all,
        That's the way betting odds work. That's the way they worked for Andre Berto, Floyd was a -3000 favorite... against Maidana, Floyd was -900 and -600... against Canelo, Floyd was -300 (the odds try to draw two-way action).

        Secondly,
        A "0% chance to win" means there is NO CHANCE OF LOSING betting on Floyd. Unless those people saying that are just flapping their lips.

        And lastly,
        In business, a 12% return-on-investment is pretty decent. At -900 you'd be talking 11.1%. At -800 it'd be 12.5%. The odds on Bovada are currently down to -550, that's 18.2%. Invest $1000 today, get back $182 in two months!?... that's an outstanding ROI, especially for something with (supposedly) a "0% chance" of losing.

        Where's that action from Boxing "experts"???
        I think you are misunderstanding me or simply ignoring my legit points. At the odds offered if one is running at more than 11% ROI (assuming the -900 odds) with their sports betting it doesn't make sense to bet on Floyd to win even if it is 100% to happen assuming one has limited resources as I imagine us all to have. You are giving up money by doing so. Plus nothing is 100%. Thats a dummy conversation to be having.

        If you are just lowering yourself to the dummy level or are a dummy (you're a new guy or alt I got no idea your agenda or IQ) with the people saying Conor has 0.00% chance to win than fair play, continue talking directly to the dummies. I'm talking real sh^t doe.

          See my next post^
          I am/was talking directly to the dummies... for those saying "0% chance" (see original post)...

          But the thing is, I think there are A LOT of these people... people who otherwise aren't "dummies."



          Kellerman might have a $100,000 bet with Brendan Schaub (MMA fighter/rookie commentator) that Conor won't land a punch.

            Fair enough your dummy audience awaits you. No empty seats in that venue.

            And yea I was kinda disappointed that Max said something so clearly ******ed. I saw that idiot guy from Tha Boxing Voice & CTG from the Breakfast Club & Brilliant Idiots land punches on Shawn Porter in sparing last year & I'm not sure either of those guys ever had gloves on in their life before that day.

            And randomly I just made a ****** Floyd vs Conor fantasy betting thread for those who think a bunch of dumb sh^t about this fight & I'm open for suggestions on other wildly outrageous takes on this fight.
