Big money with a shit fight.
What began as a talk for a fight many perceived as impossible between a boxing legend and the biggest star in mixed martial arts is now a reality, it was announced Wednesday.
Former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. made the announcement on Instagram, confirming that the champion in five weight classes will exit a 23-month retirement at age 40 to face Conor McGregor, the UFC superstar, in a boxing match on Aug. 26 in Las Vegas.
Mayweather did not say how many rounds the fight would be scheduled for, what weight the bout would be at or the specific location, though it will be at either the MGM Grand Garden Arena or the T-Mobile Arena.

remember Conor has to beat Money in a boxing match LOL.....can't use no kickies, no wrasslins, no chokies, no submissions, no superman punchies....Conor has to box.
-
You think McGregor in his first ever pro boxing match beats one of the greatest boxers ever who's never been beaten or even knocked down!? Idiot
-
Not in a million years. Floyd will toy with this guy all day long.
-
MayGregor will lose in disqualification within 2 minutes of the first round when he roundhouse kicks him

you seem to think this will not be a fixed fight? ::)
-
I think that Conor will perform better than most people expect
-

Absolutely , Floyd will embarrass him
-
In before Darren Arvery asks.
Yeah but how would they do against Tyson in his prime in da cage.
Floyd will make sure Conor looks good.
-
Absolutely , Floyd will embarrass him
I wonder who would pay to see this? They keep talking about record ppv numbers.
-
Has a deal really been struck?
Last I heard Floyd was granted a license for a fight on that date, but no money deal or contracts were signed...
-

Yeah no kidding , most MMA fans don't pay for PPV they watch online for free lol
-
Boxing rules and gloves?
-
These guys will want it to look good and setup a second, maybe even third rematch.
-
I'd rather watch McGregor fight Diaz again, or Floyd fight Manny again, or Rocky fight Thunderlips, this fight is a joke.

-
They must have a plan... I wouldn't doubt Conor gets DQ'ed for something illegal or Floyd's carries him. If Floyd really wanted to, he would KO Conor at anytime he wants and would not even get touched.
-
I think he gets beat on like the guy they made "Rocky" about. The guy who got beat on by Ali.
I think he has a strong jaw though, and will last until decision time, but will be beat bad nonetheless.

Wow , apparently lol
-
It's a win for both fighters from a money standpoint, but everything else is a lose/lose.
If Floyd beats Conor's ass, especially early, people will be pissed. If Conor wins by knockout, or if the fight is an even decision, people will scream the fight was fixed.
Thats why this fight will be a one off. It was always about the money from the beginning, and I wouldn't trust anything that happens during it.
-
Huge mcgregor fan here but no interest in this fight
-
These guys will want it to look good and setup a second, maybe even third rematch.
Bingo!
Connor spars with boxers all the time and knows he has no chance in hell of even hitting Floyd. Another problem for Connor is that he gases within a few rounds. Floyd can humiliate him all night long, but why not make big money on the fight and a rematch? Floyd will make Connor look good, throw a few rounds. It's a win win for both of them.
-
If Conor wins he will become the greatest sports star of all time :D
Lot of tough guys claiming they have no interest in the fight, while strolling past a sports bar, surely wouldn't even turn their head to look in the window :D
-
It reminds me of when Ali fought the wrestler...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ali_vs._Antonio_Inoki
-
nobody beats father time.
mayweather is 40 and hasnt had a fight in 2 years, now he's gonna fight in 2 months.
-
Huge mcgregor fan here but no interest in this fight
He has a punchers chance but skill and technique all go to Mayweather.
-
The whole thing is pathetic. McGregor should be concentrating on defending his UFC belts instead of this shit. All about the ££££
-
whats next for conor when he knocked out that bum mayweather?
one can only hope he has his sight on mr olympia!
-
and also all the millions of Idiots around the country who will pay to see this Circus they're calling a "boxing match"......I'm sure mayweather will be showing more of his Stacks soon

This fight is pure shit !!!
Worst than Pac vs Mayweather , that in my opinion was the worst fight I ever watched from the 2 biggest greedy piece of shit boxers (Pac and Mayweather) ever lived.
MacGregor has no chance in hell to win a boxing fight with Floyd , even now that Floyd is 40 years old and been retired for 2 years already.
The fight is going to be a 12 rounds boring slap fest were Floyd is going to win every rounds. Both fighters will finish the fight without a scratch in their face (just like Pac vs Mayweather) and people will up end hating boxing even more after this ridiculous match.
Because of that boxing is going to take an ulterior dump and UFC will grow even more after this debacle :people will think boxing is dead and boring and UFC is the only sport were real warriors put their life on the line for us bloodthirsty fans.
If the fight was in a octagon Floyd would have no chance to win against McGregor and would lose by submission in less than 20 seconds.
If it was a street fight McGregor could literally kill Floyd in the same time snapping his neck after taking him to ground in a matter of seconds.
But in the boxing ring with boxing rule this is no match : Floyd will win every seconds of the fight and because his lack of power and boring defensive boxing style of fighting will not be possible for him to seriously hurt McGregor and KO him.
By the way I am a boxing fan and I don't care for UFC.

Nah, boxing will live on... Huge fights at heavyweight, AJ will carry the sport from now on

Spot on. I really hope this pay per view bombs and these two money hungry con artists don't break records with this farce. All the morons and reality tv idiots will watch it, the ones who know fuck all about boxing and think Mcgregor stands a chance. Not looking forward to all the retarded hype and fake bravado in the run up.....wake me when it's over!

Those are Erislandy Lara's physical stats. FMW couldn't fight him for 2 yrs for the WBA/WBC belts b/c he was too big, according to his fanboys.

Lara isn't beating mayweather, not a chance.... I'm not a maywesther fan in any form but no one is going to out box him, specialy a Cuban with a poor work rate
-
40 years age with the skill and experience should trump 28 years of age with limited experience, and almost zero experience in pro boxing.
But anything can happen, so this is probably the appeal, could be made into a movie if the underdog wins ;D
-
mayweather hasnt boxed in over 2 years!!!
-
mayweather hasnt boxed in over 2 years!!!
Yes but provided the fitness is there boxing is like riding a bike when you know how to fight you know how to fight. Sure with age you slow down and sharpness deteriorates but Floyd lives a healthy life, owns a gym and has kept up a little training regime behind the scenes. Even at 50 I would say Mayweather wins every round against Mcgregor. The ONLY way Conor can possibly win is if Floyd takes a dive and he won't do that for less than 500 mill.
-
mayweather get a thumb in the eye and the fight is stopped!!!
-
Listen, Conor knows he ain't gonna win it's a big spectacle pay day and nothing more for both fighters
-

This X 1000!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best professional boxers for years couldn't touch Mayweather and people think this goof who can barely box is gonna even come close? Also Mayweather having not fought in two years doesn't mean he hasn't been in the gym.
-
i bet you guys didnt think conor would win over jose aldo either ::)
-
If it goes to the twelfth round, make the last round MMA rules.
That way FMW Jr. has to take McGregor out by KO.
-
i bet you guys didnt think conor would win over jose aldo either ::)
actually truth.. I was one of the few who actually thought Conor would KO Aldo.. 80% of sherdog forums said Aldo would win
-
For the sake of meeting their style halfway, both should do a kickboxing match.
It's not the first time a boxer does a kickboxing match. They held their own, until the first low-kick land.

The undercard has been announced:
Manchester United V Chicago Bulls
Lewis Hamilton V Ronnie O Sullivan

He still trains. Always has.
I'm in alignment with you - the 12 round conditioning, repeated hits, all stuff McGregor isn't used to.
Only chance he has is to go full Irishman nuts in the first round and hope to catch him with a lucky shot.
-
I am normally not a betting man, but even I am thinking of throwing some money on McGregor. What's the latest line? Last I heard a $100 bet for McGregor would win you $5,000.
Something is off about this fight. I think a whole lot of people (including Connor and Floyd) stand to make a killing by betting on McGregor.
Want to know how to make even more money if you are "in the know"? Place huge bets on McGregor to win the fight. I know that it will force the odds down a bit, but you would still make a killing.
If you play the lottery often, you are better off putting some money on McGregor.

I want to bet! Why, Washington, have you forsaken me?! >:(

Expect the initial barrage. If Floyd doesn't get tagged in the first it's full on 007-373-5963.
See UFC 196 and 202. Connor was gassed and I believe in the second fight he was clock watching. Stamina alone will make this a one-sided fight.
-
im not betting. i can get better odds at any ufc card, far more likely to come true.

mcgragor will win is all about the bets, mane. its fixed.

Do you really think Mayweather is going to stain his record with a overhyped MMA fighter? He would lose all respect in the boxing arena.

he is not called money for nothing.

The real question is, will Floyd do the McGregor walk around the ring, once he wins?

I am a Connor fan, but let's get real about this. He is no boxer.
And Mayweather has all the money he needs, he doesn't need to lose on purpose to make another buck.

are you gonna feel embarrased when conor wins?
better prepare for you humbling excuses speech

Floyd is spending cash like a typical negro- he needs the money.
Why would he participate in this freak show fight if he did not? Nothing to prove by beating the MMA top dog in a boxing game.
-
Seems like i pinched a nerve here...
I am not for or against Connor. Is that boxing and MMA are different ball games, and Connor isn't playing the one he is good at. On the other hand we have a undefeated boxing fighter.
Floyd is 40 yes, but Connor at 28yo isn't known for having a large gas tank either.
About the money. Last time i checked, the fight has been stalled because Connor wanted more money desperately, not Floyd.
Floyd is retired, still, he accepted this fight because its a easy payday.
Connor knows the odds are not in favour of him, still, this is going to be the fight that is going to change his life forever, money wise. Money that he would not earn ever, fighting in MMA, no disrespecting.
I like his cockiness, it's amusing. The suits, the extravagant lifestyle, the loud laughing, the walking, he sure knows how to present a show. The only sad part about the story is that he is going to fight in a boxing match, not mma.
I hope he wins, but i know he doesn't has a chance. Those are the facts.

Your logic is right and pretty much everybody thinks like you and that must be the case. But I believe Floyd is all about money and is spending like some saudi king. only way he can top the money from the manny fight is by losing imo.
-
Plus, regardless who will win, they both prefer to counterstrike. Floyd will try to wait for Conor to attack and he will do the same.
It will be 12 rounds of boredom, if Conor has the lungs for it.
Floyd will just manage all rounds, playing for points, not waisting his stamina, keeping it safe.
Conor will try to land his "great" left hook, in the first rounds, while Floyd will display his WORLD CLASS boxing defense, showing the world the difference between boxing ART and mma HAMMER.
-
Mayweather puts all the money in his pocket. Conor gets what ever chump change that is left over after the UFC take the lion's share out of this biggest money fight in history.

There is speculation that this could be the first billion dollar fight. Coner is under contract to the UFC. Floyd is set to make sick money. Coner will be lucky to walk away with 20-30 million.
Going to be an insanely boring fight as Mayweather runs the whole fight and Coner missing every punch. When Mayweather is ready he will take Coner out.
