Thoughts: Okay, I may just be a simple country mixed martial arts (MMA) analyst, but I can’t be the only one thinking that Mayweather could make grotesque amounts of money with those “will Nate Diaz/Justin Bieber walk out with him” lines. Hell, all he has to do is put $10,000 on himself not walking out with a TMT hat and he leaves the ring with a cool $25,000 on top of his purse.

As far as the others, you could probably do a statistical analysis on Trump’s tweets-per-day to get a proper bead on that line. Same with Mayweather and McGregor’s average walkout times. If doing so sounds fun to you, be my guest. Overall, though, I wouldn’t put more than maybe two beers worth of money on any of these. Unless you feel confident in your ability to convince customer service that the wording of “which fight ends first” actually refers to whether Mayweather vs. McGregor (Aug. 26) or Canelo vs. GGG (Sept. 16) ends first and not more quickly.
