Mayweather $600 million fight
Jun 21st, 2017 at 9:48pm

Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor:
Could August 26 Las Vegas Superfight Make $600 Million?

It’s a contest between boxing’s pay-per-view king and the highest-grossing UFC star in history.

If ever a fight were a certainty to draw money, it would be Floyd Mayweather’s super-bout against Conor McGregor scheduled for August 26 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The contest, which will be fought under boxing rules over 12 three-minute rounds, brings together two of combat sports’ brashest talkers and slickest practitioners with the added lure of the “Sport of Kings” against its brash young cousin.

Forbes has predicted that the bout, which will take place at the T-Mobile Arena, could draw between 5.3 and 5.5 million pay-per-view buys.

That would comfortably shatter the previous record for a boxing pay-per-view bout held by Mayweather against Manny Pacquiao on May 2, 2015.

That fight ended up generating more than $400 million in ppv revenue, in addition to a live gate of $72,198,500.

Mayweather features in the top three highest-grossing cards of all time. His fight against Saul Alvarez generated 2.2 million ppv buys and $150 million in revenue, according to ESPN. Mayweather’s victory over Oscar De La Hoya from May 2007 held the previous all-time record with 2.4 million buys and around $136 million in revenue.

The T-Mobile Arena seats 20,000 for boxing and MMA events. With high demand and low availability, it’s not hard to see prices for individual seats climbing into the thousands of dollars. Combine that with the fact that Mayweather vs Pacquiao cost $99 to watch on ppv in the U.S.—this will likely not be set any lower—and it’s possible that the event could gross more than $600 million at the top end of expectations.

All of which is good news for the two men and their entourages. It remains to be seen whether the action can match the hype, and the money.

I wouldn't pay either. Would be more interesting if they did one round boxing, one round MMA.

I wouldn't pay a cent and I can afford the patience to watch it some time much later for free.

It's a bit bias towards Mayweather Jr, being 'just boxing' - but Mayweather Jr always gets it all his own way before he even steps in the ring. I reckon McGregor sold himself out - short! Another sucker for ...Da Money!  Tongue

There was a time when Kostya Tszyu was to challenge Mayweather Jr and the Ring Magazine had him at odds on to beat Mayweather Jr, stating that "Kostya would take just two rounds to work out Mayweather's defence and find his weakness." It is noted that Ring Magazine rates Kostya the 'Greatest' of All time in that weight.

Mayweather could sniff cocaine and do all the hookers he wanted between now and Aug 26 and he still wouldnt lose, this fight is a farce.

Advertising revenue.

They deserve a cut of the profits.

But!

The biggest brawl will happen after Conor McGregor gets knocked out within the first few seconds of the opening round. Patrons will scream blue murder that they didn't get their money's worth.

And advertisers will be screaming the same because the fight won't last long enough for them to have a few commercial breaks to advertise their wares.

I've seen all of McGregor's fights, and so far as his boxing ability goes he's a one-trick pony: An extremely accurate puncher with unbelievably hard fists for someone of his weight-class, but that's about it. No defensive skills worth talking about ~ and that's the Achilles Heel that will see him go 'bye-byes' within seconds of Mayweather laying gloves on him.

BUT!

It's my guess that both fighters will be 'coached' long before the opening bell to make it a commercially viable spectacle for the paying audience and the advertisers, and to therefore look tough and menacing for at least a few rounds while peanuts and popcorn are being peddled to the seated audience.

It is America after all, where showmanship was invented and where suckers like Marla are born every minute ...

Perhaps yes but McGregor should have had to work his way up
in boxing by fighting lower ranked opponents first.

The whole concept is not fair.

Yes, indeed Mayweather could well lose.
He has not got a knockout punch.

Connor can wade in arms flailing, totally overwhelm and overenergize Mayweather and put him away.

Yes, this wont be MMA, a very different game. I dont rate Mcgregors chances at all, he has never fought a major league boxer, his wins have been against fighters with average boxing skills at best.

Maybe, I think its far easier for a boxer  to adapt to MMA though than a MMA fighter to boxing. You will get away a lot with dropping your guard in MMA and you will even see MCgregor do that all the time, do that once  with Mayweather and its all over.

I agree Rhino. MMA/UFC/etc incorporates 'everything' while 'everything' outside of it is 'specialised'.
Brock Lezner showed that not only are 'Professional (Entertainment) Wrestlers' more than capable of taking on other Sport-Fighting Disciplines....
...well, maybe we will see the reverse become more common as MMA/UFC/etc professionals go on to 'specialise' their strong points?

I worked in Psyche Wards (violent ones) - I was only allowed to 'restrain'. Inflict a lot of 'pain', but strictly no injury  Wink

Not every fight is won by KO and traditionally and for good reason its really only the heavyweights who "slug it out", boxings as much about  not getting punched as it is about punching, this is "the sweet science".

I'ld imagine 10% of fights are at KO, maybe less.
Floyd has the best defense I have seen.
Floyd is the obvious favourite.
The show ain't over till the fat lady sings, though.
There are a few factors against floyd.
He is 40 years old.
He has not knocked out an opponent for over 5 years.
he has not fought for 2 years.

Whereas Conor is 29 years old.
Last time he fought was last year, it was by a TKO.
He wins most of his fights by KO. 75% of them


Ah, yes, Conor has never been in a boxing fight before .........

Quote:
...............“I’m not the same fighter I was 21 years ago,” Mayweather said in his MayMac World Tour press conference. “I’m not the same fighter I was 10 years ago. I’m not even the same fighter I was two years ago. I understand that but I have that fighter’s mentality. But this will - I spoke to Al [Haymon, Mayweather’s manager]. Today we had a meeting and I can’t push my body [anymore]. It’s grueling. Training camp is grueling. I can’t do it anymore. It’s rough. Training camp is rough. I’m just going to the gym, working hard everyday and it’s rough. This has to be my last one.

“After taking a couple years off, I was okay but then we end up somehow making this fight happen and now I really know that this is it. Deep in my heart, this is it. I can’t.”

Mayweather turned 40 years old this year and has been out of competitive boxing since September 2015. In McGregor, he’s facing a hard-hitting athlete in his prime who, while never having boxed professionally before, is still 11 years his junior. At the very least, Mayweather’s physical decline may make for a more even contest as Mayweather admits he’s been taking a much more relaxed approach to his training camp for this fight than he normally does, in order to offset the stress on his body.

“I’m taking a lot of time off. I’m letting my body rejuvenate. Letting my body heal just to make sure that before I go out there to compete, whether it’s in the boxing gym or in that squared circle, I want to make sure that my body is as close to 100 percent as possible so I’ve been letting my body do a lot of resting. I’ve been doing a lot of resting this training camp whereas other training camps I really wasn’t resting as much.”

Could all this add up to one of the most improbable upsets in combat history? Mayweather is still confident, reasserting that he may not be the same fighter but he “still has enough to beat [McGregor],” but he also admits that Father Time is undefeated and there’s the chance McGregor will be the one to deliver his message.

“He does have a chance. Every time two warriors go out there and compete, anything can happen. We just saw a week ago, two weeks ago, a guy who started boxing at 18, a teacher, beat one of the best fighters of all time, Manny Pacquiao. So anything can happen in a combat sport.”.........

Conor should beat Horn easily.

But it will be a battle of the 'nice guys'.

If Horn trains in Melbourne, under the umbrella of the AFL guys, then there is a good chance that he will beat the Irishman.

Conor should just throw money at Floyd because that's all he's in Boxing for - money.
Conor should just do it 'for Boxing's sake'.
Its a case of Floyd having his 'price',
rather than Conor being roped like a dope for Money ego.

Conor should show the Boxing public that its more than just money (That Conor is more than Floyd).

If he takes Floyd's 'bait' - Conor is lost, as he will play to every facet of Floyd's effort and look like Green chasing Mundine's game in their first fight.

If Conor can publically come out and show that he would gladly 'beat' Floyd for FREE. Then Floyd hasn't got a thing on Conor and will be absolutely crapping himself.

Some Boxers intimidate other by 'being sexually' better.
Some, like Floyd, do it with money.

True 'Professionalism' is neither.
It's about Boxing (and Boxing is about 'Sport')

Floyd was lucky not to fight Kostya long ago.
One, because Kostya wouldn't play to his 'financial fiddling' and Floyd knew he couldn't suck Kostya into anything in the Ring because of that.
Kostya would have put Floyd away in the early rounds by KO.
Floyd is just another Zab Judah - just a far better paid one.

If Conor loses.
It's because Floyd is the next Don King.

Boxing has been in the 'doldrums' for over 20 years now.
Its glory days are gone.
Hence why Mayweather Jr has ruled the perch during such a time.

That's true.
Floyd will drag the fight out for as long as he can and go for points.

He may even run around and not fight, but for the odd flurry like Sugar Ray did against Hagler.

Kostya would be patient.
He wouldn't go into overdrive to attack Floyd who would retreat into his back-foot, superb defence.
He would also hold back and force Floyd to come out of his shell and attack himself or suffer the boos from the crowd for 'doing nothing'.
Because Floyd is forced to attack and come at Kostya, he has been forced to use his weakness. Kostya, knowing Floyd doesn't have a knock-out punch - specifically, would be comfortable enough to counter-punch Floyd while he is open in attack. Kostya does have a knock-out punch.
Kostya would put the pressure on Floyd to step out of his comfort zone of having opponents relentlessly attack him and chase him around the ring. Ernie Shackles did this effectively against Muhammed Ali, who did get booed by the crowd and was very much affected by it. Shackles could have beaten Ali except for his lack to go beyond 8 rounds and the inaccuracy of his 'heaviest' of punches (far harder than Foremans). Ali admitted that he would never want to fight Shackles again and it was Ali's worst performance because of his inability to suck Shackles 'in'.

If Conor goes hard against Floyd, he will get nowhere and eventually burn out throwing pointless punches onto the arms of Floyd and misses to Floyds manouvering.

Draw Floyd out from his castle and onto the field and the match is yours. Be patient and let the crowd boo Floyd to tack some action, because he is very 'Ego' based.

Yes - I see Mayweather Jr winning.
It's all been paid for and he wouldn't fight, if he wasn't going to win.

So his arch-rival Pacquaio was defeated into retirement, but Mayweather Jr will make sure he isn't.
The fact that he got away with having 30 of his henchmen go the stage and intimidate, abuse, etc - the Conor bench just goes to show what he is going to get away with.

Shame really, its because of guys like Mayweather Jr, that Boxing has suffered as a 'whole'.

Yeah, its always a good contest.
Though the 'back-foot counter puncher' has statistically got the better of the 'front-foot fighters', especially in the latter rounds.
Some back foot boxers take it too far though.
Mundine is so back-footed he runs away from everything.

Yeah, its always a good contest.
Though the 'back-foot counter puncher' has statistically got the better of the 'front-foot fighters', especially in the latter rounds.
Some back foot boxers take it too far though.
Mundine is so back-footed he runs away from everything.

I think Conor McGregor will have to charge Mayweather with his forearms up
to protect himself & just sort of bowl Mayweather over.
He can't fight fairly & expect to win.
It just depends if he can do it without being disqualified.

So true.
If he is going to attack Mayweather Jr.
He needs to give it everything he has got in the first few rounds and do a Mike Tyson and just bomb through Mayweather's defence.
Let's hope he can do it like that, because if it's a 'Points' fight and 'remotely close', then the Judges wouldn't dare go against Mayweather Jr.

That does not sound 'unfair'.
It's a fight, not a karate karta.

Conor can close in, bustle Floyd, rough him up.
Get on his toes, rush him.

Yeah - I'd agree with that.
It's his best choice for what he is capable of.
I don't think he could draw Mayweather out to attack.
So definitely 'hard and fast' and right on him. Make Mayweather crap himself for fear of going out in the first round.

It is becoming a more interesting fight.

I really want to see Conor put a big shot on Floyds jaw/nose.

Could Conor get in a Liver shot ?
Let Floyd throw his nonknockout fast clean punches.
Walk through them and HEAVE in a liver shot that snaps a few of the floating ribs on its way through.

The "Smart Money" is on Mayweather, but for those not feint of heart (no pun intended) looking for a big payday best get his money on  McGregor smart quick!

Quote:
Placing a bet on the upcoming boxing match between UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor and undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather?

Prepare for two very different potential payouts.

As officials announced on Wednesday – after months of speculation and negotiations – McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) and Mayweather (49-0 boxing) are finally scheduled to fight in a pay-per-view headliner. The 12-round, 154-pound boxing bout takes place Aug. 26 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Betting lines for the fight have been out for months – even when the fight seemed more like fantasy matchmaking than actually possible. However, the current odds consensus favors Mayweather (-800) over underdog McGregor (+500). The means a bettor would need to wager $800 on Mayweather to net $100 in profit from a winning bet. Meanwhile, a bet on McGregor would come with a 5-1 payoff.

So:

    A winning $100 bet on Mayweather (-800) would result in a profit of $12.50
    A winning $100 bet on McGregor (+500) would result in a profit of $500

As lopsided as the odds are now (and they may vary from sports book to sports book) – that’s a $487.50 difference in potential payouts, after all – they were even wider when the lines first opened back in November. Mayweather initially was a -2250 favorite (with a $4.44 payoff on a $100 bet) over +950 favorite McGregor ($950).

Early betting has favored McGregor, who’s garnered more than 90 percent of wagers, according to SportsInsights.com, “which isn’t all that surprising considering the reluctance of recreational bettors to lay moneyline odds in this range.”

Mayweather Jr to make 50-0
and be named the greatest 'pound for pound' boxer of all time ...and the richest.

Mayweather Jr to ring Pacquaio after the fight and say "Suck eggs old man".

Mayweather Jr to take over from Don King.

And this is why Boxing has suffered in the last decade or two.
It's being ruled by Dictators like Mayweather Jr and not professionals.

they have lighter gloves now.
It will make no difference

Conor will blast his way through floyds old style defense, crippling floyds arms and shoulders in round one with penetrating repeated sledgehammer like blows.

Floyd won't last 3 rounds

Trust me, he got greedy here. That was a big mistake.
You misadvised him. You should have kept him retired. It’s your fault.” —

Quote:
........There is no footage of Conor boxing, so it's easy for them to make that judgement. But I've seen him box for a very long time. He started with boxing and has done it since he was nine years old. He has had multiple amateur boxing fights. He trains with professional boxers all the time.

For me, I have a lot more to go on to make my prediction. That's why I'm confident he's going to win.

In boxing they say McGregor is awkward. To be called technical it takes years of approval. But once it is 'effective', it's good for us. If he wanted to he could just walk through every single shot that Mayweather throws. Mayweather doesn't have the power to hurt Conor. With eight ounce gloves, that's a bigger issue for Floyd. It's a better thing for us.

I see Conor stopping him in round three or four..........

Something does not read right here.

Quote:
FLOYD Mayweather is living up to his promise to fans to spend every night in the lead-up to his megafight against Conor McGregor at his strip club.

On Wednesday night, less than 72 hours from the biggest fight in history, Mayweather was inside Girl Collection at 2580 South Highland Drive, Las Vegas, almost until sunrise.

“I was here Sunday, Monday we wasn’t open, I was here Tuesday and it’s Wednesday morning — technically Thursday — and I’m here,” Mayweather told MMAFighting.com.

When it was suggested some might think it prudent to be home resting, Mayweather seemed surprised.

“This is my club, what do you mean why am I doing this? This is my club, this is my establishment, this is my business,” he said.

“The last time I checked, those someones aren’t undefeated. It’s obvious I know what it takes when it’s a fight of this magnitude.”

Living up to his “Money” Mayweather persona, the 49-0 all-time great said this was nothing out of the ordinary because his “normal schedule” was to sleep from 5am to about 1.30pm every day.

Remember for the Pacquiao fight I was out on Friday at the pop-up shop signing autographs and taking pictures with the fans at 2am or 3am,” he said.

“The fight is going to be what the fight is going to be, regardless. If I’m at the club or I’m not at the club — I’m a fighter. At the end of the day I can fight. When it’s all said and done, I can fight.”

Asked what he thought his opponent would be doing at 4am, Mayweather continued the mind games that have been a feature of the build-up to Sunday’s encounter.

“I’m pretty sure Conor McGregor is trying to make weight,” Mayweather said. “I’m on weight. I’m ready.

“He better be trying to get his weight down … I know he’s over right now. Me? I weigh like 153, 152 (pounds). I don’t have to worry about (weight cutting). (I can) eat a Big Mac, eat a Whopper, probably even pizza.”

Mayweather didn’t stop there, slinging a huge accusation at the Irishman ahead of the 155-pound bout. Mayweather said he’d heard from “a strong source” McGregor was using an IV bag to deal with dehydration.

“From what I’m told — I do my homework — I been hearing a lot about him getting IV bags,” he said. “I don’t know if it’s true, I’m just saying ‘rumours’ say he’s got like seven IV bags, and you know with the Nevada Commission that’s illegal, from what I was told. I don’t know if it’s true, but ‘allegedly’ he got seven IV bags.”

The accusation was strongly denied by UFC president Dana White, TMZ Sports reported.

Girl Collection had its official opening on Memorial Day weekend in May, realising Mayweather’s long-time ambition to open a strip club.

“Ass, titties, p****, liquor and music will never go out of style,” he said. “A regular club you have to keep renovating over and over, whereas with a strip club, you can leave it the same forever. We already know women will never go out of style, especially pretty women.

“This has always been a dream of mine … and I made it happen.”

yes, I remember the manny floyd fight.

they are both the same age, it was over 2 years ago.  floyd had a 5 inch reach advantage. many people said manny won it. It was a dull fight.

that won't be what happens on sunday .

The fight begins in just a little more than 6 hours. I care nothing about boxing but whether Mayweather literally kills McGregor or McGregor upsets the boxing world with a win it will be sheer entertainment.

The legend then sparked a stir on social media when he was shown receiving an intimate head massage in the dressing rooms..........

..........Slight delay

Originally, this fight was set to get going at 04:00 BST, but we are running later than expected, as the organisers wish to maximise the pay per view revenue.

We are not totally sure when the fight will be going on, but there are no more undercard fights so it won't be too long.

Now this has to be a good sign. Here comes the national anthems, we can't be too long to wait. Conor McGregor stands in his dressing room, the jokes are over, the stare, an intense, about-to-do-some-damage stare is clearly visible.

McGregor, as many expected, looks to attack straight away. Mayweather is forced straight back on to the ropes, guard high, trying to avoid any early, costly mistakes.

An explosive start from McGregor as he bursts out of the blocks and attempts to rattle Mayweather with a flurry of early punches.

Mayweather's seen it all before though and it doesn't affect him.

That round probably goes to McGregor though.

Very much a watching brief in the opening three minutes. Mayweather does little to attack, looking to see what his opponent is made of. Very nervous from the American, while McGregor did land a tasty-looking uppercut and has maybe taken round one. Anyone expect that?

Round 2: Mayweather v McGregor

Mayweather dives in, thinking he needs to do something, but catches one from McGregor for his efforts. At the end of the round, Mayweather has to defend. McGregor goes back to his corner with a big smile on his face.

Round 2: Mayweather v McGregor

A quick shuffle of the feet from McGregor is certainly not what was predicted. The younger man has made a good start, and has so far avoided taking any heavy punches from the American.

Round 4: Mayweather v McGregor

McGregor opts to utilise his own body punches, twice burying lefts deep into the American's chest, but wait, Mayweather lands again, with a left cross, at the end of that round. His best work of the fight so far? Is McGregor in danger of punching himself out early?

How about this? Floyd Mayweather is struggling. Both men look like they're breathing heavy. We've never seen Floyd Mayweather like this. He's looking for a single shot.

Round 5: Mayweather v McGregor

The busier work is still coming from McGregor, but none of the punches are taking effect and none of them are causing damage. A big left from Floyd Mayweather does find its mark though.

Things get feisty at the end of round five, with Mayweather shoving McGregor out of his way. Warming up nicely.

Fatigue setting in and McGregor forgetting boxing rules. Floyd has quickened the pace.

Round 7: Mayweather v McGregor

A powerful right rocks McGregor's head back, the experience of Mayweather is proving critical. The Irishman is starting to look on borrowed time here.

Round 7: Mayweather v McGregor

McGregor has a cut on the mouth, and needs to do something to get himself back into the contest. Mayweather is looking too good, and McGregor's punches are not looking powerful enough to cause any damage.

But he is still in there, so deserves a huge amount of credit for that. Seven rounds gone.

I agree.

McGregor has done incredibly well to last all of 7 rounds so far against a once-in-a-century boxing freak like Mayweather.

Round 8: Mayweather v McGregor

McGregor looks like a man whose energy has been sapped out of him, and his punches do not cause even a flinch of pain from Mayweather, who is toying with his opponent at the moment.

One punch can change everything though.

Round 9: Mayweather v McGregor

McGregor throws out a jab as the pair were separated by the referee Robert Byrd. It comes after one shot which Mayweather thought was low.

Mayweather does not seem concerned with his opponent's power though.

Round 9: Mayweather v McGregor

A wild, hopeful swing from McGregor, but it misses by miles. McGregor is one tough customer as Mayweather lands a lot in round nine but cannot finish it and McGregor is gasping for air at the end of the ninth.

Three rounds for him to turn this around and cause the shock of all shocks.

Calm down, you just need to tie em up this round," says McGregor's coach John Kavanagh.

BBC 5 live's Steve Bunce adds: "He's got nothing left but heart and guts."

BreakingMAYWEATHER WINS

Round 10:

Floyd Mayweather wins it. He has a 50-0 record. It was a brave, brave effort from Conor McGregor, but in the end Mayweather was just to good.

The end comes early in the 10th round. Mayweather attacks again and referee Robert Byrd dives in to save McGregor from any more punishment.

And now, of course, for the return fight when they will meet again in the Octagon under Mixed Martial Arts rules.

That's when McGregor can legally kick Mayweather's knee caps into the middle of next week ....

better to wait till you can get it in 1080 HD.

But to be honest it wasn't much of a fight.

end of the 6th, floyd shows his defensive skills.

weaving and bobbing. He is way ahead of conor.

floyds continual advancing was how jeff horn beat manny.

7th round, conor visibly tiring.

All th fight conor has not thrown and connected with a power punch.
He has thrown very few punches that are timed well.
most are 'arm flicks'. Almost none come from his back foot

early in the 10th ref correctly called it off.

conor not hurt, but he was going to be.
He was not defending.

Conor for the whole fight I think did not throw a punch where he flicked his hips into it.
Not a punch that came from his rear heel, hardly any where he had his torso twisting or shoulders moving.

There was nothing that was going to hurt floyd.

Yes, the Irishman did well to stay upright that long, however you have to consider that he was in the ring with a man who retired two years ago and is 40 plus years old..........otherwise I think he would have been gone before the 5th round with a younger Mayweather.....

early in the 10th ref correctly called it off.

conor not hurt, but he was going to be.
He was not defending.

Conor for the whole fight I think did not throw a punch where he flicked his hips into it.
Not a punch that came from his rear heel, hardly any where he had his torso twisting or shoulders moving.

There was nothing that was going to hurt floyd.



I think the rules say that you must defend yourself -
Conor had his hands low & was getting bashed in the face
again & again.
I suppose that's why the ref stopped it?

I thought Mayweather Jr would just weather out the early rounds and see if a UFC/MMA fighter could go the distance. Conor should have just thrown it all on the line in the early rounds rather than try to out-box a specialist boxer with the best defence of all.
In the end, it was obviously just a novelty fight that made millions of $$$. Conor was lucky Mayweather Jr was 40'ish.
Ref made the correct 'professional' call.
Unlike Brock Lesner who came from 'Entertainment' Wrestling and pulverised some of the best in UFC, etc.
Conor didn't make an impact on crossing over into Boxing.

Shame Horn won't get a chance against Mayweather Jr.
I must admit that Conor came across as a 'Chump' for the money - nothing more. His 'suit' effort pre-match was a laugh.

Surprised he lasted to the 10th round.


In fishing terms, Mayweather had his reel on drag just waiting till Conor was spent. He could have pushed it to happen 4 rounds earlier but I think he also wanted to stretch it to give everyone value for money.

Exactly, His only real chance was to go really hard and hope for a lucky shot.
I heard one expert say if it wasn't done within 3 rounds, Mayweather could not lose.

That was a joke of a fight. For all the bullsh!t hype to a puff of snoke imo.
Mayweather just let Mcgregor shadow box untill he wore himself out. Was never gonna be a fight.
What should of happened is a last minute swap with mcgregor to Horn and then watch the color srain out of mayweather.
Then youd see a real fight. What they sold everyone was clap trap humor and a nonsense story line.

That's why they call Mayweather Jr 'Da Money'.

So its currently being thrown around that if Mayweather Jr stepped into the UFC ring against McGregor - he would only last 1 round.

Will we see 'this' happen?

I think if Mayweather trained for a year in MMA he would kick Macgregors arse.

In Kickboxing the vast majority of knockouts are done with hands so he would go alright there as well.

I heard Mayweather didn't do any sparring leading up to this fight because he wanted to look after his hands, not the ideal preparation.

I don't think these 2 will fight anyone professionally again, Mayweather doesn't need any more money and Connor will never get another payday like he just had.
