Friend of mine is ordering the fight (always orders UFC). We'll all chip in on food and drinks and call it a day.
 
For those who ARE watching the fight, what's yalls plan? I have a few options but I'm not sure. Friends wants me to go to his coworkers who's hosting it, or i can hit up my usual spot that has a $20 cover, and then there's the local hooters that's charging $50 a head :rofl:

Most likely I'll just watch it at home.. if you know what I mean

My boy is hosting about 20 of us at his crib for a BBQ starting around 4 PM leading up to the fight.
 
Conor had a fake hold me back moment yesterday. Of course they still tryna sell it. These dudes ain't dumb. All this stuff is to sell it. Paulie let it slip in some lil interview that he's part of the promo too.

Not surprised in the slightest.
 
I'm still kind of surprised this fight is really happening, I remember over a decade ago when they were talking about a crossover fight of Tyson vs Bob Sapp and then later of Roy Jones Jr vs Anderson Silva that never ended up being made
 
Floyd gave an Obama type speech at the press conference today. Shed a tear for the GOAT of our generation.

Multiple $1 million bets on Floyd Mayweather were among a flurry of big money that showed up in Las Vegas on Thursday, shaking up the odds for the undefeated boxing champion's showdown with UFC star Conor McGregor.

The MGM sportsbook took a $1 million bet on Mayweather at -550 odds from a VIP casino guest, who wired in the money to the casino cage ahead of the wager, MGM vice president of race and sports Jay Rood told ESPN. The bet would net just under $182,000, if Mayweather prevails.




Ultimate Mayweather-McGregor betting guide
Floyd Mayweather (-550) and Conor McGregor's (+400) boxing match on Saturday night will be the most-bet fight in Nevada history. What are the best bets you can make on it? Our panel of MMA and boxing handicappers is here to help.


  • Floyd Mayweather bets big, just not on himself
    Floyd Mayweather is known as a big bettor in Las Vegas, consistently making six- and seven-figure wagers on sports. Will he bet on himself against Conor McGregor? Those who know his betting habits say he won't -- and never has -- bet on himself.


Shortly after, William Hill's Nevada sportsbook reported taking a $1.2 million bet on Mayweather at -500 odds from a customer who paid cash. That bet would net $240,000.

After dipping below -500 last weekend, Mayweather's odds were back up to -600 at multiple books on Thursday.

"The price is skyrocketing right now," Rood told ESPN on Thursday afternoon.

The two $1 million bets are the largest reported wagers on the fight to this point and were part of a surge of action on Mayweather around town Thursday. In addition to the $1 million bets, MGM and William Hill each also took $300,000 bets on Mayweather earlier in the day.

The South Point sportsbook reported taking two approximately $200,000 bets on Mayweather within 15 minutes of each other. Those bets followed a $50,000 bet on McGregor at +450 that would net $225,000, if the Irishman pulls off the upset.

While the bigger money begins to appear on Mayweather, the books have a long way to go before evening out the action. William Hill said even with Thursday's $1.2 million bet on Mayweather, the book still faces a seven-figure liability on McGregor.

For each bet on Mayweather at the Westgate SuperBook, there were 12 on McGregor. But 76 percent of the money was on Mayweather. The average size of a bet on McGregor at the Westgate was $212. The average size of a bet on Mayweather was $8,036.

The betting handle on the fight continues to exceed bookmakers' expectations. By the time the opening bell sounds Saturday night, Mayweather-McGregor is expected to be the most-heavily bet boxing match ever, eclipsing the estimated $60 million bet on Mayweather's bout with Manny Pacquiao in May 2015.
 


Looks like they showed the sparring footage to Freddie Roach.



Someone on twitter said that there was more footage up, but for whatever reason, the UFC or someone else took it down...

Robin Black, who was with Freddie Roach for a documentary being shot on GSP, also saw the footage. He said Conor beat up Paulie.

I wonder if they release the entire thing tomorrow. :nerd:

edit here's Robin Black. I guess he shot something for the UFC for May vs Mac.

At this point, I'm starting to believe Conor if this whole thing is "real"

I still think it's all for publicity to advertise the fight more. But if it's real.... Paulie looking funny under the lights.

This is the best go-to move.

Hate going to crowded bars for big fights, it's never comfortable and service usually takes forever. Plus they taxing for this fight at the door, I'm good...
 
What if McGOAT puts Floyd's lights out? Floyd looks like he's having too much fun! Or is it the illusion to con us into thinking McGOAT has a chance

Everything seems fake from Paulie to Floyd Sr.. to Floyd saying he's old and all that

Remember when everyone thought Nate was in Conor's head and everyone was saying taht Conor was emotional going into the rematch.. was a complete sham

Prize fighting mixed with social media has raised the WWE promo to a whole new level

Shouldn't be a close fight but here's to hoping someone gets KO'd
