Will there ever be a more expensive/overhyped fight? Maybe. Not for ages though.

I'll get it if it's £20 or less. As you say it will be overhyped.

Mayweather will win comfortably then they'll hug and say how great the other one is. With that said i'd LOVE to see McGregor floor him...

No way would Conor hug him win or lose



The best line ever after his last win to be a two weight champ.. 'I've said lots of stuff before this fight and I'd just like to apologise... to absolutely f**king nobody'

Then when you hear things like the arena mic pick up what he says to Aldo when the ref is waiting for a decision you see it's all hype and showmanship.

He's very different when not looking down a lens.

Floyd will have had to have skipped a beat or two not to win I'd have thought. Then it'll be the big NYE card and McGregor marketed to clean up and sell ppvs for Dana again.

That is nonsense, Mcgregor is very humble and sporting after every fight...

Name a fight where he has not been respectful to his opponent win or lose?

I'm not saying he isn't humble. I like the guy.


He won't hug him on camera afterwards. In the changing room, I have no doubts whatsoever that he would.

So the best boxers of his time can't beat him but a non boxer is giving it a go?

Mayweather will destroy him.

The $600m fight is finally here!!! I'm not sure Mayweather will destroy McGregor, Conor as a fighter is about standing up and throwing punches, it's just wether he can get through Floyd's defence. Either way, cannot wait for it.

The evidence would suggest that even the best boxers in the world can't get through his defence so why would McGregor?

He's an idiot but he's a bloody good boxer.

I think the difference in disciplines between the two has potential to throw the fight more than some expect...different stances, footwork, approaches. Essentially, it's down to whether McGregor tries to fully transition to a boxer.

Exactly, one of the greatest of all time will not lose to someone without a pro fight. If an eight weight boxing world champion can't beat mayweather then there's no chance an MMA fighter can.

As much as I'd like to see Mayweather lose, this is a complete mismatch.

I'd love to see McGregor walk in, and roundhouse kick Money to the floor, before putting him into a choke hold.

I acknowledge that this is unlikely to happen.

I'm going to call this what it is, a pathetic farce. Mayweather is an all time great fighter, McGregor has had zero professional boxing bouts. It's shocking that anyone is willing to sanction the fight and anyone who actually pays to watch it is a mug of epic proportions. Mayweather will toy with him, McGregor won't even get close to landing a decent shot.

That's what i'm hoping for!

I think Mayweather will have a clause for any 'funny business' where Conor may do something like that and lose his winnings.

That being said, imagine it, Conor struggling after a few rounds, but surviving, Mayweather taunts him, Conor winds a heel into his jaw and smashes that pretty face with an elbow...

All hell breaks loose, Conor DQ'd, loses winnings, but the media and coverage afterwards would in someway make up for it!

Cheer up Herb...times can't be that tough...it's £20 split between a few "mugs", the perfect time of year to get your mug-mates around for a BBQ, beers and some late night boxing...Mugweather vs MugCregor...it's boxing MugAggeddon

To be fair although a lot is made of Connor's left hand and it's "touch of death" for even some of the greatest ever (yes you Jose) he is all about his switch stances, changing of levels and kicking.

His wrestling is so bad he relies keeping the fight standing.

90% of that game is null and void. The only problem I can see him giving Mayweather is his power. While he was never a pro boxer, he was a very good amateur and his striking can hang with the best in world.

To give people an idea, Diaz who he fought twice spars regularly with Andre Ward and is often cited as being more than capable by those guys, by them. On the flipside Ronda Rousey's team tried to claim that she could box pro and that was before Holly Holm showed us how it was done.

James Toney didn't fair very well in the UFC from memory and while some decent fighters have had excellent hands I'm sure a lot like Anderson Silva's muay thai, the purists who fight in just the one traditional style will be as scathing of McGregor's boxing no matter how he does.

True, but that's not vintage Tim Sylvia either.

For balance, Kimbo was never very technical and just mauls Mercer here before one of the soppiest guillotines you'll see.

This type of match does neither sport any favours.
