Title: Mayweather Vs McGregor.
Post by: Belker on August 25, 2017, 08:18:53 pm
Fer me I fancy Mayweather to take McGregor the distance and to win by decision,
3/1 with PP seems a fair bet and a small Saver on the draw at 33/1.

I can't see a Forty year old knock out a 29 year old, neither can I see a cage fighter
knock out a real boxer. If the 'Circus' gets the Draw then the re-match will be in Billions !

14/1 on McGregor just to win ?

And ya had Fifty on to win 700 ?

I've been in this game a long time and if what you say is true
then I really don't fancy your chances of getting paid.

Here is my thoughts .The MMA has recently been sold for over a billion dollars ,they need a victory .So drop a wedge on Mayweather to take a dive .Go over in the First and claim a succer punch or if your Mc Gregor take a sucker in the First then save face by calling out Mayweather and declaring you retired the Man when there is no rematch .RESULT both fighters retain the Legends and harvest a huge wedge .If Mc Gregor dosent stay in it until at least halfway he looks like a chump .If Mayweather struggles his legend is tarnished .My bet both to win in the First .Paddy Power already paid out on Mayweather .Our kids mate works in Power Tower in Tallaght they paid out just under two grand nobody in Ireland or the UK are betting on Mayweather @ 1/6 or !/4 latest price .

 I wonder who would win a self promotion contest between Mc Gregor and Paddy Power they are both Brilliant at it .Best of Irish to the Notorious but its a Pantomine .

Could be an introductory offer, check it's not paid in free bets. If it's paddy power/Ladbrokes/Bet Victor/Boylesports/Totesport/Sky Bet/Betway/Stan James/Betfair Sportsbook bear in mind that winning is against the rules. If you're not losing money on a regular basis expect your account to be closed or restricted to the point of impotence.

Are they giving odds on McGregor giving him a kick out of frustration?I know he loses a huge chunk of the pot if he breaks the rules but still he might not be able to control himself if he's taking a beating.

Paddy Power are betting on a kick in the bollox .I hear the warm up fight is a Hamster boxing a Wood Pigeon .This is a fucking Circus freak show .That Woman bashing fucktard Mayweather is shitting on the sport that kept him out of prison and made him a billionaire .If he losers Professional boxing will go like Bicycle Polo and be taken out of the Olympics .

 In our language what Mayweather is doing is a bit like FDS putting his licence back under the bed and taking up Rickshaw Peddeling .Id say Frankie is some Peddeler though .

USA boxing hasn`t won a men`s gold in the last 2 games, in fact their medal count for both games is in single figures with 3 medals going to female boxers IIRC.

Did ya never read the Mills and Boon story of how Dee made sure he ate well with just the scratcher money to pay for grub and training .I had his old boxing coach in the car about two weeks ago said Mc Gregor still owes him for tools ,.Best of Luck to him its Circus but you cant deny he is some salesman .

To be fair to Conor, going 9+ rounds with Mayweather proves that he is a skilful fighter, particularly to those of us who dismissed cage fighting as gurrierism.

I've very little interest in boxing but it does seem that while events in Vegas attract B list celebrities events in Dublin are patronised, in the main, by travellers and gangsters?

It was a pity, most especially seeing as that I had backed Mayweather to win by Decision @ 3/1.

To be fair to McGregor he did give his legion of fans plenty to shout about by winning the First Three rounds, but it was 'The old dog fer the long road' and Mayweather played the game perfectly allowing his opponent to punch himself out before taking complete control of the fight in the Fifth round.

Indeed so, it would seem that most of the taxi fleet had taken the night or morning off to watch the fight.
I worked on all night only listening to the commentary of the fight on Utube while transferring hotel customers to the airport.
Once the fight was over the place went mad looking fer taxies, hours later there was still many hands out on the street looking fer flagdowns.

Cage fighting is gurrierism but MMA is a cut above with strict rules. The Jujitsu clubs are flying in Dublin, albeit Brazilian Jujitsu and not the pure form. The underground stuff is huge in London and there's big money on the table for ex-boxers and scrappers galore from the military etc. What McG achieved is down to extremely hard graft and a lot of cunning and intelligence. Give me his version of the fightin' Irish any day over that of Shamus O'Shaughnessy and his wrestling crew. Jujitsu came into force when the Samurai had lost all his weapons and was prepared for death....not so with McG.
