McGregor's odds are getting better because so many people are betting on him that the oddsmakers need to adjust them otherwise they would lose their ass if the unthinkable happens. McGregor still has no chance of winning and this fight is a sham and disgrace...

Thank god I have tibo because supersport shows all these fights for free. I'm def gonna be watching this freakshow fight.

On SC they were talking about 93% of bets came in for McGregor :lol: :lol: :lol: That great white hope shit is powerful.

Gotta love Americans. They can't bring themselves to root for a black guy even though he is one of their own and one of the all time greats in the ring but instead they root for the foreign guy because he is white.

True patriots. :zgerdhimje:

Lets be real. Mayweather is a grade A scumbag who beats his wife in front of his kids. He's just not a good person, as simple as that. Say what you want about McGregor but atleast he's not a criminal.

As for the bets, everyone with some basic knowledge of the sport knows that Mayweather has a 95% chance of winning. People are rooting for McGregor (Who's never boxed before) because he's the ultimate underdog taking on potentially the GOAT boxer. People like underdog stories.. I also think the media is pushing up this narrative that McGregor has a chance to make the fight more marketable.

As for me I couldn't care less for Mayweather or any other American boxer/figure. I'm supposed to root for Mayweather because he's American?

C'mon dude those bets are most likely from his Irish supporters and to win any decent money from a fight like this you need to pick the underdog. Also it's all part of the hype. You could have one guy betting $100k on Maywether to win $20k and you could have 100 people betting $50/each for McGregor to win that same $20k in total.

Also Mayweather is not a likeable guy at all it's got nothing to with with race.

McGregor is out there calling black people monkeys but apparently it's not about race. Ok

That's literally how boxing has worked forever. Mexicans root for Mexicans, Englishmen root for Englishmen, etc.

You would think that Americans would root for their own guy over a foreigner.

All you need to do is search "great white hope" and you'll see what I mean.
