Its all about money, I will not be surprise if connor place a bet of manny on their own fight. One thing is for sure connor will experience his greatest defeat if he decided to fight toe to toe again manny. His only chance to finish all 12 rounds if he run and duck during the match
I've been agreeing on this, that this fight is just all about money, possibly entertainment as well, but not really about sports. I laughed at the possibility that you raised that Conor might even be betting on Manny Pacquiao. That's very possible though.
Even if Conor will not fight toe to toe against Manny and just decide to jab and run, he is not going to finish all 12 rounds. He is used to saving air for the maximum of 5 rounds only.
What would be his situation if he would able to catch up those solid and fast punches? lol
It is either he will clinch, or he will raise his two hands in defense, or throw some haymaker to make some distance, or run away. If he won't be able to do any of these, the referee will surely stop the fight. And declare the opponent as the winner. And what else? He would also probably cry that the fight should not have been stopped because he is not hurt and KOed.
