I won't be betting on this, I only bet on real sports.
I don't think Connor will get knocked out, When i say stoppage, as in Connor gets winded and just taps out...
or that he's getting picked off later in the fight with no repsone, and Ref steps in...

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah I know exactly what you meant by stoppage. Floyd isn't going to win by stoppage though, zero chance of that happening in my opinion. If anyone is going to win by stoppage it will be Conor. Not saying that's a likely outcome mind.

As for real sports this is a fully legitimate boxing contest, contested under full Queensbury rules. It will go on the professional record of both fighters so it's about as real as it gets.

And I know exactly what you mean, yes technically it's a legit match... but like tonight, D.C vs Jones, now that's a fight.
All I'm saying is, to me it's not a credible fight.
It's unique. It's different, it may Tick certain audiences boxes, but I can't take it seriously.
I'll have fun with it, speculating, debating, cos well that's what we do on this here forum.

Stringer not sure if you're in the UK but you'll be staying up until 5 or 6 am to watch this fight then mate ?

For the record my prediction of the most likeliest outcomes of this fight are in the following order:

1) Mayweather by points decision.
2) Conor by stoppage/tko/ko.
3) Mayweather by Conor disqualification

Outcomes that I don't see happening in a million years in this fight are Mayweather winning by stoppage/tko/ko or Conor winning by points decision.

I'm out that weekend, big party. Guess I'll be back in time, unless I get lucky.... (better not let the missus see that) ...

Certainly not paying for it.
If im up, I'll go old school and get the Radio out.

Fair enough Stringer, you're not going to to stream it then? I've got no idea what the streams will be like for this event. Could be an absolute mare. They weren't great for the May vs Pac fight.

Can't do the streaming thing... tried a couple times, but mostly a waste of time.
Still haven't gotten over trying to download Harry Potter. Took 2 days of downloading, no broadband back then, then file was ready, only to find out it was in Spanish.... with German subtitles!!
Vowed never to enter that world again, i just let others hook me up.

Can't say I blame you Stringer. I think the streams are going to be nightmare as there will be too many people watching it. Yanks have to pay about 100 dollars to watch this so there are going to be millions upon millions of people trying stream it come fight night

Have they revealed the UK price?
Whose showing it?
Last rumour I heard ITV sport were the front runners!!

I've got no idea in truth, haven't even looked into it yet. As far as know no announcement has been made as to who is showing it and if there has been an announcement then nobody's mentioned it on here yet.

ITV Box Office or whatever they call it would be better than Sky as it would be available to everyone then. I don't have Sky and have no intention of ever getting it so if it's on Sky I'll have to stream.

Yeah Eddie Hearn said in his interview Floyd wants to charge 100 in the UK. He must have lost his mind if he thinks he can charge that over here. Not that any of us pay apart from the Mousers Kls and Pranks

sky will win it and it will be £25, guaranteed

Decent price

Good price from Sky then and in line with their usual PPV rate.

Shame it is on Sky though as it restricts only Sky viewers to watching it and that doesn't even include people with Now TV to watch it.

Was hoping ITV might have got it because if they had then I'm assuming it would have been available for anyone to purchase.

Oh well, looks like I'm going to have to take my chances streaming it. Can't say I'm too confident I'll find a good stream for this event. Everyone is going to be watching this, even all those that have been saying it's a farce etc.

Wtf!!
well, this just got weird...
Still over thinking stuff, huh. You business man you.
Wait til Avon hears about this!
It's yo ass!!
