This fight is going to be so disappointing for those that expect a competitive fight. Mayweather is the greatest defensive boxer this sport has ever seen and the Champ has the Nevada judges in his corner. They will not reward this fight to McGregor for any circumstance other than a knock out.

McGregor is not a tactician, he tries to overwhelm you. I can see him overextending trying to get a big hit (since that's his only chance to win the fight), and getting lit up by wide open shots.

I absolutely could see this. I believe there is a very good chance you're correct here.

McGregor is likely to get very frustrated by the way that Mayweather hits and runs.

This makes a lot of sense.
Conor's biggest challenge will be to stay patient and use physicality, pushing, holding, dirty boxing.

Odds are insanely stacked against him but he has a punchers chance and he is fighting a guy 12 years older than him that hasn't fought since mid 2015 and hasn't knocked anyone out since 2011.

I won't pay that much. Maybe if me and a handful of friends all go in (More people than I'd normally go in with on a PPV) then I'd consider getting it. But otherwise I'm not about to pay that much to watch anyone fight.

I still hope that some how some way Conor is able to KO Mayweather.

Amen. Me too. Mayweather is no kid...the fix could be in!! I would love to know where the "smart" money is going. If the odds are way out...watch out.

The trash talking at the press conferences looks so fake. Both fighters are struggling not to laugh. Both guys seem to like each other and probably go backstage, have a beer together and laugh at how much money they are getting for pretending to hate one another.

lol. Yeah, its nuts. I miss the old Ali smooze...when he would do interviews with opponents and fake fights and talk baloney...it was done in a much more believable and humourous way.

They are trying to hype the fight up and make it seem worth forking over $100 to watch a 40 yr-old coming out of retirement professional boxer vs what could be chalked up as an amateur boxer with no professional experience. Give me GGG v Canelo.

I can't believe people pay hundreds of millions of dollars to watch two guys who can't even read punch each other in the face. I got that free every day in elementary school.

The same could be said about any sport. Why pay hundreds of millions to watch people throw or catch a ball?
