Looks like Mayweather is going to trade at 1/3 today, with him winning by stoppage as short as 3/4 in places - that'll probably soon be evens. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd see Mayweather via stoppage at Evens

He's 11/4 by TKO on William Hill.

I imagine that's specifically TKO. A one punch KO would lose your bet...but in fairness it probably is more likely to be a TKO

I want to see him fight the winner of Khabib/Ferguson or Ferguson/Lee - still looks a bit up in the air which is going to happen.

This please, has been the fight the fans have wanted to see happen that feels like forever. Memory not so good but haven't they been scheduled to fight each other twice? Injury/weight issue put an end to them..

Styles make fights and for my money Conor bulldozes Ferguson. I still would have him as favourite vs Nurmey but it'd be a fascinating one.

Regardless, I highly doubt McGregor bothers his bollox fighting either of them at this stage. Most casuals barely know Ferguson, and Khabib is too unreliable.. Diaz 3 is the only one I can see appealing to Conor if he comes back - and that's a big if.

dont get this if he comes back thing
he has clearly said he will be back and back soon
hardly going to retire at 29!

"Get in, get rich, get out"

Hard to imagine how he can top the dizzying heights he's reached, by returning to the UFC. He has always pushed the limits, raising the bar each and every fight, where does he go from here (here being a 9 figure pay day)

Is the capacity a lot bigger in the T-Mobile than the MGM?

discombobulate

Any way to get the fight legally without a Sky sub? Have an IPTV sub but don't want to rely on it. Seen articles saying to go here but shows nothing

Yeah, I think Mayweather will work him to the body and Conor will be exhausted. Put 100 quid on it, returns 375. Hope I'm wrong and Conor wins though!:D

Much, much bigger. I couldn't believe how small the MGM Grand Garden Arena was. It wasn't much bigger than the point. The T-Mobile is a proper arena

Mustn't think McGregor has a hope of beating him if this is how he intends to spend the week up to the fight...............

I think he's got 2 or 3 more fights left in the UFC before hanging up his gloves. Obviously smaller pay days than the Mayweather fight but still big enough to be worth it. Presumably he'll have his hands full with all his other businesses after that. Maybe move upstairs to the UFC boardroom.

Quite the career change, plumber, to MMA fighter, to boxer and now a part of a loyalist paramilitary!

His version of partying is standing in a club (which he owns) with a fizzy water.

Never wrestle with pigs

I think he'll come back and defend his title, take boring Woodleys belt, smash nates head in back at 155 and adois amigos.

So ticket sales that would sell out in seconds and break MayPac numbers still haven't sold out.

They could have sold them to hotels easily, and yet instead of doing that they've opted to reduce the prices.

The event will be a success and the gate of $60m (according to Ellarbe) is impressive but its just not the lofty heights they've expected themselves.

McGregor won't want Ferguson or Khabib you're saying? Why?

I'm going to guess it's an ill informed opinion as his first ever post on the MMA forum was 3 weeks ago.

You can download the sky box office app and buy it legally through that.

I know the gate for this will prob end up being bigger but isnt the May/Pac gate more impressive since it was a smaller arena?

This is for a different fight, but I'd imagine the process stands. I plan on watching it this way myself

Artems next fight official. Going to be with with Filli from TAM, Poland 21 October.

Being in this camp with Conor and all the facilities and knowledge he's privy too can only help. Though less regimented than they'd like for a fight camp.

Wonder if Kavanagh is going to be too busy with book signings for this one.

Some typo that was.

Bit of an aside, but Floyd's social media presence is laughable. All that cash and the behemoth of Mayweather Promotions behind him and still they churn out some awful ****e. Amateur hour stuff for someone so obsessed with self-promotion and $$$.

Well he never claimed to be a grand intellectual. All Conor's mac life videos are just 2 minutes long if that and Roddy's blogs are focused on the lads on their holiers having the craic which to be honest I don't really care about.

Conor's stuff has been lacking but improving somewhat. The 202 'Manswork' vid was very decent, Christian Tierney's input is also very commendable. Unfair to lump in Roddy, who is just a coach with a cam giving some insight, really - their strength is in their fly-on-the-wall presence. Must say, haven't enjoyed this round of them as much as the previous camps though.

Conor certainly seems latched onto the idea that Floyd is being misadvised by his circle. Perhaps this aspect of his promotion, or lack thereof, is telling...

I think he was talking about the quality, not the content.

Do you happen to know can you mirror it to a device? The reason i ask, i tried it from say sky go to apple tv and it didnt work, unless its changed (that was about a year ago). I googled it and they had it blocked from doing so.
