Casino installs Conor McGregor as massive favorite over Floyd Mayweather in hypothetical MMA fight
ESPN
3/19/18


A Las Vegas sportsbook has posted odds on a hypothetical MMA bout between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather that, at this point, seems unlikely to ever take place.

The Westgate SuperBook installed McGregor as -1,000 favorite Monday over Mayweather, who opened as a +650 underdog. The sportsbook mandates that the fight must be MMA only and take place before Sept. 1, 2019.

Mayweather defeated McGregor in August in a boxing match that generated massive betting interest. Nevada officials estimated $65 million was bet on Mayweather-McGregor, the most ever for a boxing match, and sportsbooks in the United Kingdom also reported record betting action on the first clash between the two sports' brightest stars.

Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) was a big favorite over McGregor in the boxing ring, closing at around -500 odds at most sportsbooks. That bout had also opened at Westgate as a hypothetical, in February 2017, with Mayweather as the -2500 favorite and McGregor the +1100.

Mayweather, 41, would be expected to be a big underdog against any MMA fighter, let alone against McGregor, a two-time UFC champion.

Even so, Mayweather has maintained that he is taking a future in MMA seriously and recently told TMZ Sports that he plans to apply for a license.

"Everything takes time," Mayweather told TMZ Sports. "Eventually, we're gonna apply for the license, and hopefully we can fight."

Betting limits on the hypothetical match are $2,000 at the Westgate.

It should be minus -10,000 but they know it’ll probably never happen.

His name's "Money Mayweather".......it will happen. And Floyd will do better than people expect. No prediction yet.

True on the name & his love of cash, respectfully disagree how “well” he’d do. Him surviving 1 round would be a shock to me.

Mayweather announces he will begin training 'soon'

He has been in contact with UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, and claims the two will work together in the near future. Woodley also mentioned the possibility earlier this month.

"I'm gonna start soon," Mayweather said. "We've been texting back and forth. We talked a couple times, so we gonna start working out real soon."

He claims his skills are better than some may think.

"I can wrestle. My wrestling game is not that bad," Mayweather said. "On a scale from 1 to 10, it's probably a 7. And I think we can take it up to a 9 if possible. Of course, my hand game, on a scale of 1 to 10, is 100. My kicking game, on a scale from 1 to 10, is probably a 4."

Mayweather mentioned a six- to eight-month preparation for an MMA bout.

It is unclear whom he might face, should he go through with it ... A bout against McGregor would seem highly unlikely for his debut.

Floyd has ZERO chance vs. MMA Elite ... ZERO ... NONE

Floyd would get smoked by mediocre MMA talent.

BUT we are talking about Fat Dana (aka MMA Vince McMahon) who made a shit ton of $$$ feeding Conor to Floyd in the ring.


I could totally see Floyd fighting some joker on a major UFC card and "winning" by KO


Then down the line, Conor returns the favor from his August 26th beating and lights up Fagweather.


Total win / win for Floyd, gets a win in the cage and gets beat by one of the best in the business (a guy he had ZERO chance to beat and was totally expected to lose against) while making a boat load of cash.

No offense to you, but that's delusional. These MMA elite fighters are literally trained killers. Over in 30 seconds unless he toys with him so fans get some benefit from their purchase.

Mayweather won't have a ref to break them apart every time he ties up with someone like in boxing. As soon as he gets tied up with someone in the octagon Mayweather is in for a world of hurt. Boxing is set up to protect hit and run boxers. In MMA, most anything goes. Mayweather has neither the strength not skill to win in the octagon.

I would bet any amount of money you can scrape together that if this fight happens it last longer than 30 seconds. Just stop and think about it. Mayweather is an elite athlete. You think he is just going to forget how to dance around and defend himself. Even 1 clean shot is not going to knock him out. Once he is on the ground a submission is probable but not in under 30 seconds.

Mayweather will not get in the ring - that's given - if the fight does happen - let's make a wager now - I will take McGregor in the first 2 mins

Floyd has no chance in an Octagon. Mid to lower tier fighters would have their way with him.
