Odds moving fast, this will be Floyd -800 by tomorrow afternoon. Floyd -2500 is what it should be, but MMA fans are suckers.

Average bet on Conor is $212, average bet on Mayweather is over $8000. Easy money for the pros here.

Why would Floyd take a dive? He's getting paid if he wins or loses and he's the A-side and calling the shots. If McGregor and UFC were organising and controlling the event and asked Floyd to fight them and take a dive to help his tax problems, then who knows, but they're not.

Nobody needs to take dives here. The fight has been set up simply because it is a huge attraction and money maker. There's nothing to gain from anyone taking a dive, everything has already been gained.

Yeah I know. It's just a weird su****ion that I can't shake. I feel that it is very unlikely, but like I said, it all seems too easy otherwise. Rod Salka has a better chance against Floyd than McGregor, yet this is going to make more money than basically any event in history. Are people all really that ******? If its on the up and up its going to look like Floyd fighting Gatti's slower, less capable brother. Just a brutal one sided ass whooping for the ages. I don't know man. It all feels really weird to me.

Yes, don't underestimate the ******ity of the general public, they're very easily influenced.

There's a google fan poll now, just type Mayweather or McGregor into google and it'll come up. 56% of people think McGregor wins.

Jesus. Well that explains it then.

Yeah, and it's had over 150,000 votes, which i guess is enough to say that is the general consensus as far as public opinion goes.
