[El Diablo Blanco]

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.

[Darren Avey]

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

[Disgusted]

Not in a million years. Floyd will toy with this guy all day long.

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.

[WalterWhite]

Absolutely , Floyd will embarrass him

I wonder who would pay to see this?  They keep talking about record ppv numbers.

[Powerlift66]

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

[Skeletor]

Boxing rules and gloves?

[El Diablo Blanco]

These guys will want it to look good and setup a second, maybe even third rematch.

[The Keto Kid]

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.

[Irongrip400]

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.
