Carl Frampton has parted company with Cyclone Promotions. Doesnt say if he has left Mcguigans gym aswell. Surprised to say the least as they seem to get on very well!

Yeah i didnt hear much about the bill up to the fight normally i hear a good bit and it just seemed a bit of something is going on in camp and they didnt want it to get out before the fight. They seem to be going on good terms. I just dont see him fighting in Belfast again for some reason. Rumours are flying about big time. Al Haymon links and the usual British other promoters in Hearn and Warren which 1 he would go with I just dont know. Last week rumours was he was to sign a 5 fight deal with Matchroom nothing happened yet. It makes sense and it would be the 1 option for him to go down where he would get a big Belfast show. Also makes sense to have Carl Frampton on the undercard of the Ryan Burnett world title fight in October in Belfast and move him towards a World title fight again. Now will Hearn and Frampton work together is a big question. Does Warren have money to pay Frampton?? Not too sure on that. So it leads me to thinking Frampton on the road in the US overall so it could well be a interesting few weeks for him.

It's sad that the McGregor fight has relegated GGG Vs Alvarez in the publicity stakes. The latter is a genuinely competitive, world class match up.

Go to Vegas on the 8th and fly home day before fight
Absolutely gutted
Still thinking of asking her if I can stay on an extra day

Seeing Mcgregor at around 4/1 in most places. Has there ever been a worse value bet in sports history?

Even if the biggest shock ever somehow happens you've still won virtually fuck all. At least if he was at 100s or summat more reasonable you could maybe forgive people for putting a couple of quid on. 4/1!

Well that must make Mayweather at 2/7 the greatest odds on fav in history. Nearly a 30% return on your money.

It's terms of free money yeah, I think it's about as sure a thing as you could get.

It's like City going full strength against a league 2 side. If the league 2 side had never played a game of professional football previously.

I know there's always the punchers chance but in that case there's millions of people who could fight Floyd Mayweather and be 4/1. It's madness.

I think he has a chance I honestly do. I am no boxing expert but 41 is a lot older than a very fit 29.

That's Bernard Hopkins, by the way (;

Watched him against calzaghe and he would have beaten the great Welshman at his peak but age had caught up with him. I will bow to your superior knowledge but my gut feel is telling me Connor will knock him out. If I am wrong I will admit it. I think the unorthodox style of mgregor will unsettle mayweather. Also I just can't see mayweather knocking him out. Has anyone ever beaten mgregor by knockout?

Really looking forward to it.

Been watching the All Access for Mayweather vs McGregor and can't really decide which of them I dislike more, someone always finds a way to defending the over the top flashing of wealth but I find it more than a little distasteful. With two of them doing it, it's too much, makes me hope it tanks.

I hope Mayweather boxes his cauliflower ears off early doors to show it up for the farce it is.

Then there's a clash of heads or something in the first 4. Technical draw / No contest.

Nobody comes out a winner.

Bet they would both love that - then they can do it all again and earn another few tens of million each
 
This shows that there must be a distinct lack of quality in boxing at the moment when this is seen as the biggest and most lucrative fight of the year. What we gonna have next, Zara Phillips v Lester Piggot or Eric Bristow v Fatima Whitbread.
 
It's a circus act but I'll watch it just for the fun of it, it's a freak show event and car crash TV at its finest. I believe Mayweather will win with some comfort.
