Hope Mcgregor knocks him out but i reckon Mayweather could beat him with 1 hand tied behind his back

There is only one outcome here.
I'll still watch it.
It's also more than a bit rich for certain boxing promoters to come out and say this is damaging to the credibility of boxing. They've collectively been chipping away at that for decades.

People are writing off McGregor too much I think. Of course, in 6 months of boxing training he is not going to be able to out-box one of the best (if not the best) defensive boxer ever. It may take Money a couple of rounds to get used to his irregular style, and within these rounds, is when McGregor will be most likely to score an upset. I have no doubt that McGregor's Team will be going into this to NOT have a typical boxing match with Money, that'd be stupid....wouldn't it.

It's about as valid a contest as a WWE 'bout'.
With all the money being raised to pay these attention seekers, there is no way they will be allowed to have this done in the first couple of rounds.
Expect a long fight so that the punters don't feel cheated.
As alluded to earlier - Steve Bunce a while ago said Macgregor would get beat by Irelands top 100 boxers. Maybe a bit extreme, but he is very dismissive of this whole contest.

whilst i think mayweather will win i dont think it will be as easy as some make out, mcgregor was the all ireland youth boxing champion so he has some pedigree, he is also a big puncher as most mma fans will have seen

He is used to being punched hard in the face. He will be able to take a shot while having a go himself. He can also take hefty body shots .
I still think Mayweather will win but I do think McGregor will have a moment where something could happen.
I think he will just go all out from the off and try to rattle Mayweather.No Eternal Reward Shall Forgive Us Now For Wasting The Dawn

Tickets are now on sale. The only ones available at the moment include an all you can eat buffet and 3 hours of "free" bar starting at $3137.50. If you want to be close to the ring (but not ringside) you're looking at $20,125.00.
Plus tax and booking fee

I've watched some of CMs training online and whilst he is obviously only showing what he wants us to see I really hope he isn't going to try and adopt the counter punching approach he seems to be in training. He will get seriously hurt if he does.
The only way he might upset Floyd is if he adopts the Castillo or Maidana approach of relentless pressure. Hit biceps, forearms, shoulders and hope the odd scoring punch slips through. Even then I just can't see him doing anything. I think it could be a bit like Mayweathers fight with Gatti. A fighter in against a boxer and can see a similar outcome, one guy taking a total beating until his corner do the right thing.
I saw an interview with Ricky Hatton the other day and he said that whilst Mayweather doesn't hit particularly hard any more, his speed means he can hit you 3 or 4 times before you can react which scrambles the brains. Does McGreggor have the boxing skills that guys like Marquez, Pacquaio, Alvarez, Moseley, Cotto, Judah, De La Hoya, Baldomir, Coralles et al didn't have to find a way to counteract Mayweathers speed and ability?PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017.

I am at 100% for a Mayweather win and agree McGregors only shot is just to go hell for leather from the first bell and hope he gets really really lucky, they reckon he will come in at least 170 pounds for it so he will have a bit of weight but even with that he still won't hit as hard as a Canello or Maidana
Saw an interesting interview with Michael Bisping who admitted that boxers hit much much harder than MMA fighters as that's all they train on day in day out, I knew this already but was good to hear a world champion MMA fighter just tell it like it is

There is no way I am paying loads for a ticket and a trip to Vegas to see this fight but I obtained a couple of tickets to the press conference at Staples which might last a little longer and be more fun. I'm wondering how many soap dodger shirts will be in the Staples Center and remember that there will be a lot of Laker fans backing Mayweather in their own stadium - AND what team do the Lakers hate the most? The Boston Celtics. I see a nice little atmosphere where a Hibs home jersey could be confusing to everyone.

7 weeks to go and ordinary tickets aren't on sale yet, it's just the hospitality ones. And the T-Mobile arena is still double booked with the basketball event that they've been selling tickets for for ages!

I also emailed someone to find out about ticket pre-sale. If I do get tickets they will be at face value but I have no idea what that will be. I am not paying scalpers $5k to sit in nose bleed seats.
I have an extra ticket for the press conference at Staples Center this Tuesday if you are around LA. I was given those.

I'd certainly be interested in going to the weigh in though if that's workable.
