What are the odds that Mayweather will rope-a-dope his way to a UD? If Tyson was in Mayweather’s weight class and they fought each other in their prime, Tyson would get a 1 RD KO.

Who places bets that size on a fight that isn’t fixed?

Someone for whom a million dollars is small change.

A professional boxer is unbeatable in a ring.

Years ago I hung out with some tough guys. The "Park Lane Pride" at the Park Lane pizzeria. Real studs. Football stars. This small kid walks in, and a couple of the guys decide to have some fun. The small kid tells them to back off. He doesn't want to hurt them. Someone throws a punch, and he takes out six guys. Most with just one punch. He was a Golden Glove boxer. Most people do not understand how strong those guys are.

Your analogy reminds me of the Larry Holmes/Randall Tex Cobb fight of ‘82. Cobb had been a powerful kickboxer. He was, as you describe McGregor, “a fighter”. He went 15 rounds in a unanimous loss. He got the crap beat out of him, but he didn't go down.

Expecting a boring fight? I tend to agree.

Remember Ali vs the karate guy who lay on his back?

What a waste of time. This whole fake fight is put on to milk money out of gullible rubes. Hell, both sides probably already agreed on who gets to “win it” and in what round.

It really just goes to show that the boxing game hasn’t put up a good match in ages, so now they’re entering exhibition crap like this to try to salvage some of the pie they’re losing to MMA.

All entertainment is put on to milk money out of people. As for the fight being fixed, maybe, maybe not. Since We'll never know and there's really no way of knowing, why not lighten up and enjoy it for what it's worth?
