I've previously sold stuff on eBay, so by your logic I only did that because I was desperate for money.

I've sold cars on the private market prior to buying a new one, rather than part-exchange, so I guess your logic dictates that I needed money desperately then too.

The media has reported that Floyd sold cars in 2015 & 2016, when you combine this with his most recent sale, then by your logic, Mayweather must have to keep selling things in order to continue paying the bills.

FFS!

He's bought and sold his card on line for years.
I've looked at several in amazement of the prices.

I see your point, but I thought he would be totally focused on his fight instead of selling one of his cars.

On msn.com, link to Mayweather trying to sell another Bugatti. It's a 2015 for 3.5 million dollars. The ad is on Auto Trader.

I think he cares... It's money in the bank and he named himself "Money" ... I'm glad the Dog & Pony show is over -- but more people liked Conor than Floyd

Ricky Hatton... "I hope McGregor knocks Floyd out cold." ...

Tyson Fury... "Conor will knock Floyd out cold in 35 seconds."

Chris Eubank Senior... "You have to repect an Irishman... They're a special people with fighting spirit... Talent can mean more than skill."

All of these boxers are British and they are favoring the Irishman.

Conor McGregor is not British and from the videos I've watched and also the interview transcripts I have read, the vast majority of the fighters from the UK reckon Mayweather will win this fight.

In fact, I'd hazard a guess by claiming that most fans, regardless of nationality, wholeheartedly support McGregor, because he's playing the stereotypical role of the heroic "face" to Money May's theatrical pantomime villainous "heel".

I wouldn't even put money on anything Flawed, I mean Floyd, did. The public is just plain stupid.

They're both assholes. There is no hero just 2 douche bags talking crap.

They both put on a terrific Dog & Pony Show... But that was just the buildup to the fight... They're both dead serious about winning the fight.

Buster Douglas didn't let everybody's opinion that he was cannon fodder stop him from training hard and beating the living sh!t out of Mike Tyson.

Douglas wasn't generally very dedicated or intense about his job... But that particular fight was for all the chips so he pulled his sh!t together.

"Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor Betting Odds: Fans Overwhelmingly Picking UFC Star"

When Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor finally step inside the ring opposite each other on Aug. 26 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the majority of fans will be rooting for the UFC star. McGregor was treated as the crowd favorite during the city press tour for the fight last month, and that has been reflected in the decisions being made by the betting public.

With his betting odds starting at +1100 and moving to as low as +400 at various sportsbooks, an overwhelming percentage of gamblers are picking an upset. That means bookmakers are rooting for Mayweather.

According to ESPN.com’s David Payne Purdum, there have been 32 bets on McGregor for ever one bet on Mayweather at MGM sportsbooks.
https://twitter.com/DavidPurdum/status/ ... 2043396096
“We're comfortable needing Mayweather, let's just say that,” William Hill U.S. director of trading Nick Bogdanovich told ESPN Sunday. “Right now, we're comfortable where we're at, but talk to me in another two weeks, when [the liability] keeps growing and growing and we might not be so comfortable. It's a crazy decision.”

Mayweather’s odds don’t exactly reflect the level of his opponent, even if McGregor actually has a puncher’s chance. As a -600 favorite at some sportsbooks, Mayweather has been given better odds to win previous fights against accomplished boxers.

McGregor certainly believes he’ll make money for all of the fans that have placed bets on him. Having predicted a knockout of Mayweather within four rounds on multiple occasions, he continues to promise a victory on social media.

Maybe that’s been part of the reason why the public support of McGregor has not lessened. The fight was made official on June 14, and as the date of the bout gets closer, bets continue to pour in on the UFC lightweight champion.

“We could be in a position on the fight, for example, where we can lose several million and only win a few hundred thousand,” Jason Simbal, vice president of risk for Las Vegas sportsbook operator CG Technology, told ESPN.com. “That is not the scenario any sportsbook really wants to be in.”

My initial reaction when I saw the odds was to throw a lot of money on money, but something is telling me that something fishy is going on to set up a rematch (perhaps a nc)

I'm not a gambler. If the fight ends in a no contest does everyone lose their money?

Not if it's the initial ruling. If they announce a winner and change it then the tickets are as is. Floyd's ego is too big for that. Then again, McGregor has spent tens of thousands of hours preparing for this, so he's in good shape!

All that hard work and practice, he must be the best in the world.

Oh I didn't realise this, makes me feel more confident to throw some money on it.

Haha I really didn't mean to upset you so much you are bringing it up on other threads

The only way Mayweather can lose is if he wants to lose. For example if MMA needs to become a bigger sport in America as boxing for example. The Americans are losing badly in every boxing class and all of their champs are fake champs. Like Wilder and that guy that fought against Kovalev. And so on and on and on.

You mean Mayweather has spent tens of thousands of hours preparing for this.. McGregor hasn't even spent tens of thousands of hours preparing for UFC matches YET.. Considering he's only 29 and has done a few other things in his life. And considering "tens" in the plural means at least 20,000 hours. That's a lot of fkking hours training for Boxing if you have damned good coaches.. I'm not sure McGregor has any outstanding boxing coaches on his team and Floyd does.

Mma is already a bigger sport in America. It has been for quite some time.

Work on your sarcasm detector. I was making fun of that Sam imbecile.

If by some miracle Connor wins, the Brits will claim McGregor as their own.

The vast majority of fight fans from around the globe would almost certainly rejoice a McGregor victory, but the UK contingent won't suddenly proclaim the Irishman to be British, because he isn't!

They'll try to claim Conor as a Brit all right... The BBC has already tried to claim McGregor as the "First UFC Champion from the UK."

The UK and Britain are different ....

I’ve seen multiple reddit posts quoting the BBC saying that Conor McGregor is the "first UFC champion from the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland", but this was merely a meaningless typo that was eventually corrected to:

• “McGregor, 26, won in Las Vegas to become the first UFC champion from the Republic of Ireland.”

Click on the hyperlinked blue text and you’ll surely accept the blatantly obvious and irrefutable fact that I am 100% correct!

This should compel you to concede that your attempt to support your theory, by quoting some else’s typo in order to boldly and dishonestly proclaim some sort of fictional yearning from UK fight fans for “Conor McGregor to be bestowed the honorary title of a ‘Brit’”, is nothing but a load of sweaty, hairy, wrinkly, sagging bóllócks!
