The group of more than 100 ringside doctors, whose members have decades of experience and have worked hundreds of major bouts in New York, Nevada and other jurisdictions, is arguing that McGregor, the mixed martial arts champion who will be fighting in his first professional boxing bout, is overmatched by Mayweather, who is 49-0 and considered the best boxer of his generation.

“We were very surprised this bout was even sanctioned and was going to be permitted to carry on,” said Larry Lovelace, a doctor and the president of the organization, which is focused on preserving fighter safety. “The thing I really fear, truly fear, is that somebody’s going to get really hurt in this upcoming fight.”

I agree. Mc G is about to find out that exposing yourself in Boxing is gonna hurt a lot worse than in the UFC because distance is a huge factor and they're often far less involved in boxing.

I'm tempted to throw down more but I'll throw down $20 at minimum because the risk to reward is just too good to pass up a simple $20.

For good reason. You have literally the best pound for pound boxer on the planet that has never lost fighting a guy that has never boxed before. I'm amazed this fight was even sanctioned.

Those are honestly terrible odds. I know odds are based on betting, but I wouldn't give him anywhere near that close to win.

Yeah I think that there are so many people trying to bet on the underdog thinking that it will make them rich that it has actually pushed McGregor up way past where he should be, thus making Mayweather the smart bet again.

Probably the latter unfortunately, even though he's arrogant and probably doesn't see this fight as as big of a challenge as some of he's previous victories, he's such a defensive fighter these days he'll probably move around the ring and block the whole time just throwing hits here and there like he has for the last however many fights.

Imagine UFC buying off the judges to really kill off the sport of boxing. Usually Mayweather has the money/judges in the pocket but this could be different. If it goes to decision which it might because Mayweather can't knockout anyone at this point in his career. I wouldn't be shocked.

The bookies aren't going to lose money either because they come out ahead regardless of who wins because they are taking a small spread for themselves. That's how bookies work. (at least if they have a balanced book)

Ali vs Terrell

Terrell refused to call him Muhammad Ali and so Ali brutalized him but not enough to KO him so he could punish him more while shouting "What's my name!"

That's makes sense. I've heard similar things before but never paid much attention. I pretty
much only bet on Hockey myself so I never consider huge events like this. Hockey rarely has some crazy event that makes you think about things like this.

Any idea why so many articles were saying vegas is looking to lose around $500 million if Mc G wins?

No, literally, odds are determined by the bets and bookies take a %. They literally don't lose money on it regardless of outcome. They provide a betting service, they aren't gambling.

Yes, in 99% of cases that's true. If an NFL game opens at -6 they nudge that to get betting equal on both sides. They collect a vig and win.

This fight open at -2500, that's insane. People bet McGregor so much as such insane odds the money is way out of wack because the sharks didn't touch it until the odds came way down and by then it was too late to equalize.

It's legal, you can bet here, but they mail a check so don't plan on immediately getting your money.
