The first fight was mildly competitive, but now Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor are floating an idea to enter the Octagon in what would surely be a weird evening if the money grab ever happened.
According to ESPN reporter Ben Fawkes, the Westgate sports book in Las Vegas has officially listed odds for the potential rematch. The first contest was on Mayweather’s turf, and McGregor would obviously love some revenge in the cage. He’s been trying to goad Mayweather. People familiar with mixed martial arts know that Mayeather, who is 41 years of age, should have no chance unless the rules are tweaked or there’s a massive officiating or judging scandal of some kind.
Mayweather is listed at +650 ($100 to win $650), while McGregor is an insanely low -1000 ($1,000 to win $100). The fight would have to happen by Sept. 1, 2019 in order for the bets to be valid. You can also only bet a maximum of $2,000 at the moment.
What prompted the odds being posted? Mayweather claims that he’s training MMA and has even applied for a license to compete in the sport. He’s 50-0 as a professional boxer and 0-0 as an MMA fighter. There’s also been speculation that the UFC could give Mayweather an opponent other than McGregor, someone with far less skills and experience in the sport.
