One factor that could play into the fight is Vegas judges & compustat showing favortism towards Floyd Mayweather in the past.
Oscar De La Hoya beat Mayweather when they fought and the judges gave the fight to Mayweather anyway.
Compustat also showed favortism towards Mayweather when he fought Pacquiao by not giving Pacman credit for a lot of punches he landed to the body.

I watched the fight live and i really thought Manny won the fight against Mayweather and he was the aggressor but when the judges read the score he won the fight by unanimous decision and i am really sure that no one could defeat Mayweather in a close fight because the judges will favor him no matter what.

With Pacquiao losing to Horn a few days ago, I'm more keen now to bet on Connor and pull a upset. I think its proves that anything is possible and a long shot could won because I think Connor is more of a live dog as the day progresses. As the fight nears, it will sure that a lot of bettors will be picking Connor to win and another boxing shocker.

But you are forgetting that Mayweather made Pacman unable to get anything done just 2 years earlier, and he also made Berto look like an amateur only 1 year ago.

Also Jeff used a lot ugly headbuts and choking. There are rumors of the match being rigged since it was hosted in australia...

I don't see this changing anything in the Mayweather vs Conor odds.

Well the dynamics are quite different with Connor vs mayweather fight, here mayweather has got a reputation to protect, he doesn't want to be beaten in boxing and so he'll do all within his power to have his way plus he's not fighting in enemy grounds like pacman did in Australia.

@ bbc.reporter , i do accept the fight would be boring as both are defensive fighters and most probably both will be waiting for the other to take the initiative,but media tour is coming to promote the fight and i am pretty sure it will be a hell lot entertaining as both talkers will promote the fight real hard. Cheesy

We hope they can sell us a good fight not good speeches and slangs of the English language. These fighters especially Floyd has a marketing strategy that he use in promoting his games and after we've been tricked to pay huge sums of money then he sells us a full fight and ends up showing us pictures of the same money in his room.

10 oz gloves are gonna take away from Conor's precision and power. Mayweathers little rabbit punches aren't gonna do shit to someone who is used to get hammered with 4 oz glove by larger guys. My guess is the only way Conor wins is by KO, I think it will probably go the distance and NV is a boxing state and a very corrupt state(Former NV resident), no matter how good he looks any decision will favor mayweather.

The experts say that Mayweather is an expert at defensive boxing and will score enough points to win while avoiding McGregor's punches. That's probably what will happen, but no one knows how good McGregor will be in this kind of fight. It will probably be a boring fight that goes the distance.

I've never seen a conor fight that went boring. His a*shole attitude and junkee fighting style makes his match very exciting. I'd love to see how far Floyd's patience can go.

Yes. Conor will make the boxing world think their sport is boring, their pound for pound best is boring and that it is time to change all that. He will go out there, win or lose and will try to change all that.

The fight itself might have less action but there could be a lot of trash talking and ridiculing coming from Conor to
make Floyd look like a scared winner.

yeah lets wait if how quick Floyd will run and how long he will just do the sparring thing to McGregor as we knew the style that he had
just one strong punch and it be so entertaining for all the fans and gamblers that will bet with this fight.

In MMA fighters get in some brutal situations, but there's a reason a lot more people die in boxing fights and no in MMA: If you aren't good in boxing, you are going to get hit in the head a bunch of times during 12 rounds. A TKO ends the fight, but repeated jabbing on the head can really fuck you up long term. In MMA usually if you go down it's game over, in boxing you get the countdowns, some fighters go up again and keep fighting after being KO'd a bunch of times. This repeated brain concussion overtime is what creates these boxers that cannot properly talk, this is why Mayweather is looking fine at 40, he didn't take as much damage.

A nice video comparing the different statistics of both fighters:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orr8JffO7a0

There's more and more hype daily. I can't wait to see what happens.

Mayweather has been boxing undefeated prospects on their early 20's, and they say Mayweather is looking as sharp as always at age 40. If that is the case then I think Conor is fucked unless he gets lucky with a quick KO somehow.

But you should also consider that Conor is a master of playing with the crowd. Does he know he is not going to win versus Floyd? Yes he does. But does he know how to make Floyd look like a loser even if Floyd wins? Yes.

Conor will ridicule Floyd making him look like a person who is scared of real fighting.

All that matters is what happens on the boxing ring in august 26th, everything else is just bullshit. I doubt Conor can ridicule Floyd Mayweather in a boxing ring, no one has been able to do this. Even at age 40, Conor will not be able to do anything against Floyd's masterful technique. Floyd couldn't care less if he would destroyed in an MMA fight, we all know that, this is about boxing.

He can by not engaging Floyd and try to show the crowd that he is not a real fighter. Conor can also do it like Cody Garbradnt or Nick Diaz by lying down on the floor and doing other crazy stuff, ridiculing and disrespecting Floyd and the sport of boxing.

Mayweather for this match because it is boxing. Although we cannot disregard mcgregor as a boxing artist too. Pretty exciting match-up.

You have to understand one thing,McGregor is going to fight professionally for the first time in his career boxing career and that too against a fighter who is 49 and 0. The notion that McGregor is a boxing artist is quite laughable,he is a MMA fighter and not a boxer even at the amateur level. Tongue

New footage of Mayweather training on the 2 end bag:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3asM_R_knk

He looks as sharp as ever at age 40 showcasing some cat-like reflexes. I think Conor is pretty much fucked unless moons align and he manages to land a full blown left on Mayweather's head... good luck with that.

Conor is also sparring with boxer Paulie Malignaggi.

There isn't video of them sparring, only audio unfortunately:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0u8kbIsgvU

No video because i'm pretty sure that slickster Pussy Malignaggi is schooling and beating the hell out of Connor. This fight only excites casual boxing fans and maybe some hardcore people but with interests.

Conor brought in Manny Pacquiao's sparring partner Dashon Johnson to prepare him for the Floyd fight.

People underestimate Conor and what he's capable of. If Floyd makes that mistake he could regret it.

Wow. Connor Mcgregor is really taking this seriously guys. I think its all for the money and glory. He is making this fight very competitive eventhough this is a boxing match and give Floyd alot of disadvantage. I will follow every news about this fight before making a bet. But by the looks of it, I give Connor a chance to beat Floyd.

I will put my bet on mayweather, since its a boxing match. mayweather is a great technical fighter and know how to win on a match.
The dirty tactics of mayweather always works and always gives him the judge decision and upper hand against his opponent.
