It seems this fight is more possible than a lot of people think, and I would like to gamble within the very idea of it happening. I think this alone can generate a huge prize pool because of the massive speculation. Latest news:

Mayweather vs Conor recent beef:

Conor recently on record saying "let's do it under boxing rules for 100 million":

Conor gets a boxing license and talks about potential fights with Mayweather opponents:

Just a couple of days ago, Dana White said 50 cent told him Mayweather really wants to fight Conor:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5McRtt8Dvg8

I think its very interesting to pay attention to this. We are looking at potentially the biggest fight ever with the most money. The biggest gambling pot ever in a fight. So while the hype builds up I would like to make a gamble on the fight even happening but I can't find any sites.

both are good athlete with alot of achievement especially Mayweather even he has fraught with controversy but most people always be waiting and excited for his fight and McGregor make a new history after beat Eddie Alvarez he was the only one who can combine featherweight and lightweight title and if these two fighters met i think became one of the greatest matches in history

If a sports book offered the bet of "Mayweather vs McGregor fight will happen" - Yes/No, I think they would have to put some kind of time range qualifier or deadline like:

"Mayweather vs McGregor fight will happen in the year 2017" - Yes/No

or

"Mayweather vs McGregor fight will happen before the year 2020" - Yes/No

Yes we would need a deadline. I think we can use something like bitbet.us. It's very easy to create a contract with a deadline and so on.

https://bitbet.us/new/

As you can see it's easy, just fill the form. What I don't know is if this is the best site or not. I think there was a similar site but with a lot more traffic. The more traffic the better since we can get a bigger price pot. Maybe create it on both sites, the more sites also the better.

It's never going to happen in my opinion, Mayweather would win at boxing & Conor would tear Floyd to pieces in this Octagon. Both have too much to lose by taking this fight so it won't happen.

As for the question in the OP - Of course there are places to gamble/place bets if this did happen.

They are in entirely different sport to begin with. Yes Mcgregor is a top fighter in the UFC but Mayweather is an undefeated boxer and one of the best boxers in the world and you cannot even compare a MMA fighter fighting a boxing match and think that he could defeat a world class boxer.

No one is doubting that when the fight is scheduled that there will be places to bet it. Every sportsbook will have it if it is a go, lol. The OP is asking if there are any sportsbooks right now that are taking action on whether or not a Mayweather-McGregor fight will or will not take place. Of course everyone and their asshole will have their opinions on whether it will happen or not. But if there is no sportsbook offering that wager, then the OP is looking to make a parimutuel offering to the public on one of those sites where it can be done.

It will be interesting to see Connor Mcgregor step inside a boxing ring and first he has to fight lower ranked boxer and then try boxing with an undefeated boxer in Mayweather and i have heard the news that Mcgregor got license to box from multiple states and if he was to box Mayweather he has to get a boxing license from Nevada and then we could expect a match and i highly doubt the commision will allow him to box Mayweather with zero boxing experience.Even i would like to wage a bet on mere speculations  ;)

There will always be since this two are very popular, but if you would ask me to watch the game, I would not do it as it's just a waste of time. Like what happen to pacquiao vs mayweather fight, the hype will be on but the actual game is really boring. Any game that involves mayweather is not fun for me. Sorry, just my opinion. For the sake of betting, I will go with Money Mayweather cause he never lost any game.

It might happen, promoter will do everything just to make money and this two fighter have something in common, they both talk trash but the only difference is mayweather is a good runner than McGregor. Not a good fight and a waste of money, I'll pass this one.

i was wondering that if both fighters really fight not for the boxers match but for MMA match and all the regulations match according to MMA regulations would Mayweather still could running around the oxtagon without hitting by McGregor punch

This is going to happen! The disses and beef continues, Floyd Mayweather recently was mocking Conor McGregor in a live stream:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiQanaNYQh0

All this contant fucking around by both fighters will lead to the biggest payday on the entire of fighting, and in gambling too. A lot of people will become rich that night. Im betting for a Mayweather win, but of course, if he gets caught in a bad luck punch, McGregor can hurt him, he has been hit before after all... if McGregor wins it will deliver tons of money because he will have very bad odds...

Huh? Who's sportsbook will offer such bet if its going to happen or not. They are only betting for whos gonna win in the event/match and not just like that. LOL

Waaht? Watching McGreor and Mayweather is a waste of money ?That seems silly because nothing has been more optimistic than watching these two in a ring.Let's not even talk about betting. Sadly,as you said the winner will be decided by the Bookies and not the champs.

After the recent hype and both constantly throwing comments during random interviews gets my hopes high.Not gonna comment on the next part of your post.

If it happens, I hope it does, then I think every sportsbook on the planet will give out odds on this match! For sure this will be big and sportsbooks will want to get in on the action of this. For sure they will try their very best to do it. The potential earnings they will get is astronomical and they will never ever miss that opportunity to make some money.

And, I think Connor will beat Mayweather's chicken ass!

Honestly the way I see the fight between FLOYD Mayweather and  Conor McGregor is simply a war of words nothing else and a possibility of a never to happen fight

I dont think it will happen. Boxers n MMA artists run their mouth a lot and its just to keep the hype around themselves. I personally think Conor McGregor will win if it ever happens and if it is a professional fight then I think all the major sportsbooks will have the fight listed in it if they already have a MMA/Boxing section. I think McGregor will win coz of his skills and obv he will try not to fight a boxing match and pick MMA. There's also the fact that Mayweather is about 40 years old and retired. So... u know what I mean.

I also think that this fight may never happen however we just never know as even though both of these athletes have a lot of money and are well off, money could be a major factor into whether this fight may happen. Money talks and if the right amount of money is put on the line then I don't see why this fight won't happen. Remember these athletes love to show off their money and blow a lot of it so I'm thinking that maybe one day in the future it could happen and just think it will most likely be the biggest fight in the history of boxing/MMA.

It WILL happen. I don't care how long it takes.. it will. The idea of clash of the worlds, (boxing vs MMA) is very, very attractive for fans, hence for promoters and businessmen too, and finally it is too very lucrative for the fighters. Everyone wins. We all want to see what would happen if a fighter steps into someone's else world.

Mayweather vs McGregor would be the biggest selling history ever, I have no doubts about that. I think they will continue building up hype, and Mayweather will take the decision once its best for him. Mayweather is his own boss, McGregor still depends on Dana White.

I have a feeling that this will happen. We may never know but would it be possible that Conor and Floyd are really talking with each other privately? Do not forget that both these men are hustlers by heart and they that a fight between them is a big money maker.

All sportsbooks will be glad to lay some lines for this fight. I wish they open with Conor at +800 or something.

I think it's very possible.. they may be have private meetings and doing all this constant calling out and so on just to get more hype and that can only translate in a bigger payday, but make no mistake... they are real competitors, I think they really hate each other for real, Conor is getting a ton of fame lately, Mayweather hates not being the center of attention at all times, and im sure he wants that nice 50-0 record because it looks better than 49-0.

There are new videos of Floyd Mayweather talking shit about McGregor!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCNWwMbkZug

"Im gonna slap him when I see him"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRld0MlQWDQ

And here he is hanging out with Nate Diaz and says he will put finnishing moves on him!! This is huge!! The fight will happen for sure now. Way too much hype, Mayweather is indeed doing all of this for a reason. I want to bet right now for a yes because now im sure the fight will happen.

hahaha not strange to see what has been done by Floyd Mayweather because that's the way he gets a lot of sponsors, always say something that could make a lot of news. He was an intelligent in making money.

i have been seeing alot of videos on social media were these guys trash talk about beating the hell out of each other  ::) and i highly doubt it if this fight will ever take place though i think  Mayweather would win if they got to fight

Not any that I know of but I sure think this fight will happen because Floyd Mayweather is at it again; setting the center stage and preparing the grounds to trade insults and work on all our minds for a hit pay per view income and large sponsorships.

If ever this match will ever happen, it will surely be just for the money and nothing else at all. This will just be another boring fight for fight fans but for sure the promoters will hype this one up as if it's worth watching until you spend your money with this clownfest and realize in the end that you were rob.

I will say you are wrong, they not only fight for money, but they also fight for honor and pride, and of course the promotor going to hype things up, it is their job, and i think this is a really great match if it is really happen, when this match really happen all of the sport bet will put this match into their site

I want to bet on the fight happening. Is anyone doing a bet for bitcoin on this? i cant find anything yet.
Im sure that the bet will happen in 2017.

"Will the fight of Mayweather vs McGregor happen in 2017"? then it's a smart contract that runs the entire 2017 and ends when the fight happens. If it happens then the ones that bet "yes" get the money. I think it's a good bet.

I just saw some footage of McGregor sparring with some ex boxing champion, you can find it on youtube easily, just type "McGregor boxing sparring".

He has good reflexes, he makes some good angles, but that's about it, he doesn't seem fit to take on the king of pound for pound boxing even with the advantage of being younger. His jab is not on point, he is years away from Floyd's defense.. I think im going to bet that McGregor losses. I have won money everythime Floyd fought, I don't see why this time it could be different.

I think we will see something this year. Also I find interesting how he is going to assemble a fight between two celebrities, Soulja Boy vs Chris Brown, it could be fun and it may become an huge event PPV wise. Definitely worth betting on that one too. Chris Brown should destroy him.

I think it will happen somewhere in 2017... mayweather is very competitive, very smart businessman. He knows McGregor is easy work, he can get the job done, do his routine, outbox him, make 100 millions and beat Rocky Marcianos 49-0's record. He can risk his legacy with a mistake? yes but he can cement it too.

@pereira04. I disagree with you. This will not happen at anytime in 2017 in my opinion. Well unless Conor thinks the price is right. But considering everything at present both Conor and Floyd are not in a hurry
to make it happen. They banter and make funny tweets and that is it. No serious contract talks no formal meetings took place. They are only playing and teasing the crowd that a potential fight might happen.

Yes, of course all gambling sites will have this match to bet. But, i think it will never happen. Both fighters are really different, Mayweather can't using foot and grapeling. It will be interesting though if this really happen.

Well i think there's little chance of this actually happening knowing how mayweather plays. It would have to be either an exclusive boxing match or an mma match and i don't think either would agree on where to play here. Of course mayweather won't stand a chance against connor in an mma bout 100% as he won't be able to utilize his technical superiority here. I also don't think mcgregor would agree to any terms laid by mayweather as he currently is the bigger star in prizefighting today. So this fight pretty much won't happen for us unfortunately

I think Conor Mcgregor IS in a real hurry. If Floyd Mayweather retires for real and the boxing match never happens, Conor McGregor will NEVER make the amount of money he could make on a single fight against floyd. Floyd is offering double the amount that the UFC has offered him for his best check. So if Conor made 10 million on his best fight, Floyd is offering 20. Floyd is the A side, so gets 100 million, and I think it's fair. Floyd is risking way more than McGregor, and he is leyend, McGregor isnt.

I disagree with you again. Conor is not in a real hurry. This boxing match will be nothing but a side show to both him and Floyd. this is like an altcoin. This is for entertainment purposes only and to scam the fans of both MMA and boxing to give them millions worth of PPV and gate ticket sales. You think they are trying to play each other on social media and youtube? They are playing us, the fans. They will keep this going on until a time they think it is the right time to go for the kill. Both of them are hustlers, do not forget.

Mayweather is freaking scared about it, i know it for sure. He then finds a way that he could be the more beneficial when the bouts would really happen. I just doubt if how could conor stands on the ring and not on the octagon

How can Mayweather be scared about a guy that doesn't even know how to box at a profesional level? He has only done MMA, he has never done anything in the world boxing. Boxing and MMA are different games. I find it funny thinking he would be better than Mayweather just because he has won some MMA matches.

Sure , they want to make money, but we want to watch the fight, I know I want as a boxing fan, and a lot of MMA fans want to see it too. It's interesting to see the 2 biggest guys of both sports fight.

Sure, it may seem like an entertainment only show but make no mistake, when its all said and once, both men want to win and they will fight for real, it's not a show when you get hit.

Im sure there will be a lot of online bet to place once the fight happen, but I don't think Mayweather will fight Connor even if's there a lot of money in the table. It will be a lose-lose situation for him. If Mayweather wins, people will say that he beat non-pro boxer, if he lose, then it will be Mayweather's first lost. So there's a lot at stake for him taking this fight.

Of course they want to to win but not for the same reasons when they are fighting professionally. Let me tell you again that this is all a show and a hustle from both Conor and Floyd. They know that we want to see that fight. So they will keep making scenario after scenario of it happenning making us want the fight to happen more. They both are doing a good job of doing the marketing themselves by posting on Twitter and Youtube.

This is all fanfare and nothing more. The fight won't happen. Both of them are taking advantage of all the attention they are getting. And Mayweather loves it more so than Connor because he wants to stay in the limelight and stay relevant eventhough he is "retired".

Dana White asked Connor if he wanted to fight but, I dont think Floyd Mayweather is interested. He was mocking Dana recently and making fun of him. If the fight happens, all the sportsbook that have UFC/Boxing category will have the fight to place bets on. The chances r slim though and I'm sure Connor McGregor will easily win the fight if it does happen.

If I was a betting man Id bet the fight will happen. All this prehype is not for no reason and these are in deed business men after all we are talking about. Business men dont waste their time showboating. Fight will happen some time 2017.

Yes both are business man specially Mayweather. But the way I look at it, it is more riskier for Mayweather to take this fight in his career. Risk being I mentioned in my previous post. Plus Mayweather doesn't want his precious "0" gone. He doesn't want his record tarnish by anyone, not by Connor. He has cemented his legacy already and nothing to proved.

It is not an easy fight for Connor Mcgregor because they are planning to set a boxing match and it is not that easy to hit Mayweather in the first place,if the match is to be a reality UFC has to permit Mcgregor to fight Mayweather because he is under a contract with the UFC and so is the reason Dana White offered a $25 million purse for both and pay per view sharings,but Mayweather is not interested with the purse Dana offered. Mayweather would not accept this fight unless he has more control over the fight.

Lol, do you really think that mcgregor doesnt know how to fight on the ring? Then you are wrong mate, he may not be a pro boxer but he is a boxer. Although that would be his disadvantage he havent fought a pro boxer. Why would mayweather not?

You are counting it out too fast. Everyone was saying how Floyd would NEVER fight Pacquiao and then he proved everyone wrong, fought him and won.

Im sure Floyd still wants to break Rocky Marcianos record to get the nice and round 50-0 record and then get a ton of money in the process. Don't get fooled by Floyd's antics. He may be rich, yes, but he likes to burn a lot of money, if he wants to keep that lifestyle, any money helps and a big fight like that will make him come back.

Now that is really funny, of course he fought pacman but before that hd makes sure that all are in favor of him. Place, bets or even judges. There is no such thing as unanimous or split decision there he would surely won if pacman cant finish him out. The rules when mayweather fought is that you finish him off or you lose

this is might be will more near to do so and McGregor has already get boxing license but this is will be more heated because i heard that Mayweather only will fight for $100 millions but he was highly doubt whether McGregor able to get those money because he said too that this is only about money

Lol don't be ridiculous. Mayweather made Pacman look like an amateur. Nobody that knows about boxing would saying Pacman won, he lost, that's all.
Mayweather won all fights convincingly, the only fight that I think he lost was the Jose Luis Castillo vs Floyd Mayweater 1, and in the rematch Floyd won convincingly, but in the 1st fight I think he lost, very close fight, but he lost. Other than that, you can't say the judges have made his career... that's ridiculous.

Pacquiao's case is different. It was the "boxing" fans who are asking him to fight Pac-man. He has no where to go but fight Pacman. But it took him 5 years to fight him, But I have mad respect for May fighting Manny.

Yes, I agree, he wants to break Marciano's record, but I don't think fighting Connor will add up any legacy to this already storied boxing career.

Yes Mayweather beat Pacman, I agree, but if the fight happen around 09-12, where Manny is destroying anyone it would be a different story. He got a gimme on Castillo as I believed Mayweather lost that fight.  

The hype is simply because Mayweather wants to be relevant in the scheme of things and Connor taking a long break from MMA wants his voice heard over the media and so is the reason you are hearing this hype ,for the match to become a reality it will take a really long time and it wont happen this year for sure.

If you look at Mayweather's career he only box in Las Vegas and Connor Mcgregor has not taken a boxing license in Vegas and i really do not think that they would accept the proposal for a rookie to fight an undefeated boxer . :D

They will fight but only for the right price. I say again that both Conor and Floyd are hustlers. They will put on a show and they are good at what they do. They also love playing the crowd and we react as if what they are doing is real. In the end we always give them our money because we want to see what they want to give us.

Lol now if you said that he won on a split decision i would rather accept it but convincingly? Now that is hilarious. Where is the convincing part in there? Very far statistics floyd won all the stats? Seriously?

I am a boxing fan and Pacman was fighting with an injury and the match was really close in my opinion,Mayweather has not won all the matches convincingly,take a look at the fights between Canelo Álvarez and Oscar De La Hoya ,Mayweather somehow managed to take the victory ,may be money power who knows.

I am not fan of both boxer champions but I watch there game and for me pacman wins in their last battle but the juries picked mayweather. And I cant do about that thing. We can just wait until the rematch started.

The fight would be a major success no matter if it happens in Vegas, California or Abu Dhabi. It will be a hit and may sell more than the Paquiao vs Mayweather one. Even if it turns out being a disappointment for casuals because Mayweather does his usual routine of hitting and not getting hit with his defensive style, people that really like boxing will enjoy it and MMA people will buy the hype.

And McGregor is young and explosive so don't count a lucky KO out, it can happen, it would be devastating for Mayweather, that is why the fight will sell a lot. I will certainly watch it and take a bet.

It will make his record look more marketable. "50-0" sounds perfect, better than "49-0", and looks better in t-shirts too. He thinks like a businessman, he sells TMT gear, im sure he knows all of that. And he loves money, so he is going to take the risk sooner or later. He likes to spend too much money too. He will be back if he can get an 9 figure payday for sure.

Mayweather won by split decision convincingly... it may seem like it was very even to non boxing fans, but if you know the sport, you know Mayweather took the least damage and made the most points, was more accurate... basically everything was in his favor. Pacciao caught him very few times with some good shots, other than that it was jab domination by Mayweather.

Mayweather versus Pacquiao was a disgrace and a big disappointment. All the teasing and all the hype came to what? Nothing but 2 fighters not really trying to win the fight. They did not deserve the money given to them. That fight was one of the reasons why fans have lost their faith on boxing as a sport. It is all about the money over there and the spirit of the sport is gone.

Boxing's loss is MMA's gain.

Nope, well he may won but still not convincingly no matter how many times you are going to count the damages that they have made. Although may weather really does look like it does not hit him. "everything was in favor" -probably everything not just them on the ring ;)

Well it was ok if you like the details in boxing, of course it was a boring fight for all the casuals that bought on the hype. It was all over the place, so a ton of casuals expected something that the fight was never going to offer anyway. Both fighters are past their prime, and Mayweather is too good at defense so Manny wouldn't be able to blast a ton of punches.

Overall Mayweather won, Manny missed too much. He got a couple great punches, but other than that it was never a real menace.

There is no way this fight was going to live up to the hype. People complaining saying, Well back in the 80’s, Sugar Ray Leonard and guys like that produced classics. But this is a different era. And as you have mentioned, they are already past their prime.

They are both great fighters no questions about it.. Both guys deserve praise and I respect what they bring to the table. Mayweather proved to be the better fighter, simple as that.

People cant brought back 80s anyways. Tho this is still to early to say that this couldnt bring the hype maywesther is obviously the most controversial  boxer right now so people would really take their eyes to him and that is already a sign of a crowd hype

So you want to talk about the casuals as if they do not anything about boxing. But I ask you, was the fight organized only for the boxing experts and hardcore fans? Of course not or else it will not make any money. That is why they hyped it in the first place. It is more of a business and less of a sport these days. Gone are the days of the true great fighters like Hagler, Hearn, Leonard and Duran. Those fighters never disappointed amid the hype. Watching Anderson Silva in the octagon doing nothing is more entertaining than the Pacquaio versus Mayweather fight.

Accept it. It was one of the most boring fights in the history of boxing.

Yeah I think it will be a very good fight, though knowing Mayweather, i think it will not happen, Mayweather, I think is still enjoying his win in their fight versus Manny Pacquiao which is really many fans are being dissapointed for being the most anticipated, but boring fight. I think Mayweather is a good boxer, but the point is he is aiming for the win, but some boxers really want to win, at the same time to make the viewers feel being worthy viewing it live. So if this bout happen? i think i will bet for Mayweather, as you say, he never lost a fight.

Casuals sure are always going to be crying about how all those hyped fights are not like the 80's anymore when Mike Tyson was knocking guys out in seconds.

There are not many brawlers anymore in boxing, boxing is much more tactical. There are still agressive and brutal fighters, but certainly not in the heavyweight division.

I think Mayweather vs McGregor could be the highest selling fight of all times (surpassing Manny vs Mayweather) in any case.

Haha although it's funny but you are true. I would rather watch anderson doing nothing but still entertain myself than watching that boring fight + mayweather won like what? haha are they serious?

 But still the interest shows up when mcgregor wanted to fight a whore in boxing then after that if ever that mayweather would still won i would accept but he have to also get an MMA licensed and fight mcgregor inside the octagon haha.

But what you have to understand is, they are not entertainers, they are athletes, they are competing... some fighters care about putting a good show, but others don't, they don't care as long as they win, and mayweather is one of those guys. Mayweather was action packed when he was younger, but as age creeped in, he started winning at all costs not putting any risks.

I can see how the fight will happen right now between Conor and Floyd. Conor will go after his opponent around the ring and Floyd will counter. He can hit Conor and guess what? No knock out power from Floyd. If Conor can get one lucky straight to the chin that would knock Floyd out. But we all know Floyd does not want to get hit. He is there for the money.

Mayweather has been punched hard in the past and has resisted all of the big hits. People forgets he has a strong chin because he barely gets hit. Go watch more fights.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ofeqQ_ljCk

As you can see here, he has taken big shots, still managed to come back and win.

It is quite funny on how you predict the certain game. Tho mayweather loves to run i could really say that he can absorbed some hard punches because after all he has pretty much solid face( you can see it anyways) ;D ;D

Sorry but Mayweather will kick Conor McGregor's ass. He will outboxing him and make him look like an amateur, it's just how it is. Also people are judging McGregor's power with UFC gloves. With boxing gloves he would be a soft puncher, using bloxing gloves is a different game.

@thejaytiesto. Just like how Floyd beat Manny Pacquaio? Was his win convincing enough for you? The casual fans were smart to boo that fight. The felt cheated out of their hard earned money. Now that you have mentioned it, this fight will be a win-win for Conor. If he wins he will make Floyd look like a wimp of he loses he will make Floyd look like a bigger wimp.

Well i don't really consider mayweather's style as kick ass at all. Running around and hugging opponents are a good technique to outpoint anyone and i agree that being a technical fighter, floyd has mastered these to perfection. I agree also that if the fight ever happens and if it would be pure boxing, we'd all see a very boring same fight as with most mayweather fights are, even with someone as explosive as connor. I just don't think anyone can counter mayweather's technicality when it comes to boxing

I saw it in facebook, if mayweather will refuse the on the fight, Manny Pacquiao is willing to fight  McGregor, I think this would be a great fight than Mayweather. They are both aggressive and we will surely get what our money's worth. What is your take on this guys?

I would go for Pacman, he likes to shut down a shit talking opponent. (Exemption was on Mayweather because he runs like a chicken) ;D

Floyd Mayweather when he was "Prettyboy Floyd" and not "Money Mayweather" he was a knockout artist. He had 90% knockout ratios during his first 20 fights.

He was a complete fighter. Then has he got older he lost his knockout power and won on defensive skills only.

In any case, go watch more of his recent fights. The Canelo fight was a masterclass in boxing, and this is what will happen to Conor McGregor. Canelo was a top ranked boxer, imagine what will happen with an amateur like Conor. Canelo got his ass whooped, McGregor can get hurt. You don't need Tyson's knocking power to cause damage. Repeated hitting will fuck you up.

That fight I would unquestionably pay for to see. Conor versus Floyd will be boring but Conor versus Manny Pacquaio? That will be action packed and I do not think the Irishman will be able to move because Manny is faster and stronger.

I can't believe people still think this thing is going to happen...

Connor is under a UFC contract, and Mayweather isn't going to fight unless it's under his promotional terms, which Dana White could never hope to match. That should be the end of the story right there.

Yeah you're right. And i don't think either one of these guys would agree to fight in pure boxing or mma. Both have heavy advantage in their respective sport and i don't think neither would want to plays the other's game. So this is a fantasy match up that we most likely would only see in video games

At present the possibility of these 2 fighting is very very slim. But Floyd and Conor are both hustlers. They are all in it to create an opportunity for them to make big money in the future. This fight could happen when both Floyd and Conor think it is time. The timing has to be right and of course the amount written in the pay check should also be right.

I think this will not gonna happened beside this will requires a huge payment, they have different sports type and i think the transition from UFC to WBO is a very fool decision because boxing is not for hot tempered person just like players of UFC. I admit that conor has a incredible physical strengt but it will not work on mayweather genius strategy on boxing, he will just be toyed on the ring when they fight. there is a lot of strong boxer that mayweather fought and no one defeat him. i think conor will not change anything, he is just a typical strong guy when he is inside the boxing ring

I think at present that's more so true for Floyd than Conor. Mayweather would do anything for the right price, but the problem with McGregor is that he's the face of UFC right now. If he goes out to box and gets crushed by one of today's most hated athletes, it definitely won't look good for the organization

Haha really? How could mayweather kicks someones ass if its boxing lol. Anyways what he knows was to run and hug and i guess those are pretty much acceptable than him kicking gregors ass lol. You would never know unless they fought right?

New movements in the Mayweather camp:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buR4rCjqmxQ

""There's only one fight that I want...if I came back to entertain the fans, there's only one entertaining bout...Mayweather vs. McGregor...that's the only fight that I want...keep our fingers crossed and see where we can go from here," stated retired undefeated former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather, who spoke more about Conor McGregor's recent declaration that he's putting his UFC career on hold to focus on a boxing match with him."

Looks clear to me. Both fighters know the big numbers are on this fight. I think it's happening.

Now I am confused I just heard from my friend it is now more likely that a fight vs Manny Pacquiao will happen. According to him the source of the news is from Top Rank Boxing. Maybe Floyd is threatened because the Pacman is willing to fight him as soon as possible?

Pacman vs McGregor? Nah.. it won't happen.
Simple reason: Dana White (UFC) doesn't like Bob Arum (TR).
I don't know where the hate for Bob Arum comes from,
But I heard interviews from Dana White saying that he don't want to do business with the Old Man.
Maybe if Bob Arum is gone or retired as TR boss, then in the future we will see them both whether the Octagon or Boxing ring.

All matches from big boxers vs UFC fighters will take a lot of time to create, because it's two different sports. Mayweather vs Manny took ages, this will took a lot of time too, but there are good indicators that the fight will happen either this year in xmas or early 2018. I would forget about any other guys but Floyd, everyone wants to see Floyd vs McGregor and not some other boxer.

As interested as I'd be if this fight was to happen I just don't think it will. All the beef is for the cameras I think.
It'd be a pointless fight any way, Floyd would win in a boxing ring & Conor would take Mayweather's head off in the Octagon.

Lets see who will win i bet to mayweather than gregor.. since mayweather honestly is hard to beat even pacman defeat it..
Hoping that it will be happen and it will be added in some sports betting here like in directbet before..

How is it pointless when it can generate the most money ever generated on any fight ever? Get real, this is a business and the fans want to clearly see this fight happen, therefore the possibilities are real and there is a point: entertainment (and a lot of money to be made). My bet is we'll see something this year or next year too.

And Bob Arum will do anything to make Conor McGregor-Pacquiao fight possible. But yes Dana White will likely not interested in this idea. But what if majorityt people request for it as both fighters are willing to take on each other. The process will really having a lots of talk.

Well about your last statement, Im sure when Bob or Dana stepped down, Pacquiao and McGregor are too much old now to fight lol.

@harizen. Why not? Bob Arum is a businessman and Dana White is also a businessman also most important of all maybe Conor McGregor wants a fight versus either Pacman or Floyd to happen. He also showing the signs and traits of a businessman. The only thing businessmen want is to make money. Not liking someone as mentioned by someone here has nothing to do with it. This is business.

Thats a good news then. However i know things will be in favor of mayweather tho i love to see how mcgregor is going to dump  mayweathers face inside the ring. Or else if mayweather continue to run then maybe after pacman this can be the worst fight in the history totally just a waste of money

He said he came bank to entertain fans, but the big question is, had he really entertained the fans in his entire carrier as undefeated boxer?

I guess this guy talk too much but in terms of entertainment, Mcgregor is doing what it looks like. If this fight will happen, I would not hesitate to go with Mayweather but to tell you people, I am not gonna watch this game live. I came here for the money and I know Money Mayweather will deliver.

I think there is a place to gamble once the Mayweather vs Mcgregor fight. But like what as I expected many of the member in this forum will speculate about this fight. In fact, the quoted question for me was impossible to be happen for now its not time yet I think. As far as I know Mcgregor is one of the top fighter in UFC. So its a long conversation to be discuss.

I think he had many exciting fights, lately as he got older his style got a lot more defensive only and only taking advantage of his jab technique and extra reach as the attack factor, but is clear that Mayweather is one of the best boxers of all time in any case.

Who knows, maybe McGregor gets lucky and somehow manages to catch him with a strong blow and KO's him, that would be insane... thats why a lot of people want to buy the fight. But chances are McGregor will get his ass jabbed as usual.

I would be so scared to watch this fight, because if Mayweather for some reason gets KO'd (it can happen) it would be the end of his career. I mean I think people is not really considering the massive risk that this is for Mayweather. McGregor is not even a boxer and expected to lose, so Mayweather has all the pressure. People are not valuing that enough. It would be a total success if the fight happens, I will buy a ticket for sure.

If the fight really happens it could break records in every way and this will be a billion dollar match as all the eyes will be on this match.Yes Mayweather will be taking a huge risk and his legacy is on the line if he is to face Connor Mcgregor because the fact is Connor is still a rookie with zero fights in boxing and if he defeats or poses a threat to Mayweather it is a major blow without any doubt.

Haha, that was really hilarious. I would rather love to watch two ammature juggling. The only thing that made him famous is that he is undefeated and controversial fights(controversial wons would be much better) thats the thing he is a money maker and thats it. Quantity over quality as i have always said

My God the hype has truly gotten into your head. This is my prediction for this fight, the winner will be Floyd Mayweather via a unanimous decision. The fight will be boring exactly like Floyd's fight versus Pacman.

If all of you want an exciting fight, Conor versus Pacman will be better. We'll see a clinic of how to shut the Irishman up.

Mayweather is more exciting because he is undefeated and he is gambling with his legacy. Also for true fans of boxings that enjoy the sweet science and appreciate the defensive style, watching Mayweather fight is always a sight to behold.

With that being said, here is leaked footage of Connor training boxing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qweMcL3Cuo

Casual fan like me don't enjoy watching Mayweather style in the ring. No excitement like the other boxer in his generation (Manny). Although a lot of fans follow him and watch his fight, it seems to be that they are buying tickets to his fight to see him lose.  ;D

Well I think even casual fans would enjoy Mayweather vs ConorMcGregor only because of the cash of the 2 different sports, also again, Mayweather is an obviously big deal in every fight because he is undefeated, also if he wins he would break Rocky Marciano's record. Can't miss that fight.

Well we most likely will miss that fight all in all. Lats face it, theres no way mayweather would engage connor in an mma fight and connor would most likely do the same because with mayweather's style of boxing, he may not have a chance. We just might be seeing tbis happening on fantasy matchups and video games

Yes it can be possible, betting in whom who''s gonna win in the fight or what round they're gonna be knock down? but is the first time that Mayweather his opponent was one of the fighter in ufc, Just feel free to correct me if i'm wrong. So this will gonna an exciting fight ever!

Floyd vs Conor will not be exciting. It will be exactly like the Floyd versus Manny Pacquaio fight. After so much hype and money invested the fans, both casual and eager fans were very disappointed with the outcome and it became one of the most boring fights in boxing history. Many felt they were cheated and after that some sports journalists were declaring that boxing as a sport is dying.

try sportsbet.net it is a good site for sports betting i played once in this site and it seems good to me. I won also in the play of golden state warriors and cleveland cavaliers in the NBA last year. try it once you see it you will try not stop it. He He.

It will be exciting, Connor will be aggressive, he has nothing to lose. He is the underdog, it's his first boxing match, and everyone expects him to lose, so he has no fear.

Mayweather puts his legacy on stake, but he is the master of tactic boxing.

We will see what happens.

@thejaytiesto. No. I am so very sure that it will not be exciting. This is a fight made because of money. After a few rounds just looking at each other. Maybe Conor will attack and hit air because Floyd will dodge and weave and then do nothing else besides the occasional jab and maybe the cross. The referee will declare Floyd the winner and everyone will say what just happened? Where is the action? That was boring.

Conor and Floyd will get a multimillion pay day each while the fans will feel cheated once again. That is the art of the hustle by Floyd and Conor for you.

Well if that will happen i think most of the sportsbetting website will be opening the betting about it because that is a huge fight that the fans will really watch and bet as my self i will bet on the most famous website and the website that ive known because we know that they are not scam . Lets hope that it will happen but i think it is impossible

Seeing Floyd dodge and making pros look like amateurs is exciting for me, sorry that it isn't for you.

Also everyone was saying the same about the Floyd-Canelo fight, and Floyd gave a masterclass in boxing, Canelo was looking like a chump, so imagine what he can do to Conor.

For me the excitement is there. Seeing Floyd do his routine and Conor looking for the KO.

@thejaytiesto. What about the Floyd Mayweather versus Manny Pacquaio fight? Did that look like a master class in boxing to you? With all the hype and the money they put into that fight, it has become one of the biggest flops and disappointments in the history of boxing. The same opinion was said by both casual fans and real educated fans. Some sports writers started writing about how boxing is dying after that fight. That is all because of the corruptible nature of money that is running the sport.

Indeed, the fight was a disappointment, but it was expected. Floyd Mayweather would do his usual routine, fight a conservative fight, score points... why is it all Floyd Mayweather's fault tho? Isn't it Manny Pacquiao's fault that he wasn't able to KO Mayweather or at least cause any amounts of relevant damage?

@thejaytiesto. The point is not about who is at fault here. It is more about the fans being tricked into thinking that this will be a real super fight. Knowing Floyd Mayweather's style it will be going in there and win by points then he goes out and gets his money. Conor might try to knock him out bit it will still end up in a lackluster performance. Pacquaio will be a better match up for Conor if you want to see fireworks in my opinion.

i think Floyd Mayweather's  can't paying boxing again, this him is resignation from boxing
is want playing again i think only money, if salary reach 50 million dollar i think wan play again
but is mcgregor is not popular , so maywaeather is playing vs mcgregor can't high icome

Pacquiao vs Connor would be more exciting because both of them have an aggressive style and known to have powers on their left hand(southpaw) so for casual fans this is better than watching Mayweather ran around the ring and not engaging Connor and won simply by decision if they ever fight. I love the trash talk going on between Mayweather and Connor though, but if ever they face in the ring, it will be a different story.

@joshy23. All the trash talking is only that. Trash. It will make the whole affair more interesting to the fans who follow it. They are creating significance even when there is none. Maybe Floyd and Conor should start an altcoin. They are both good at scamming people. :D

Pacquiao is not as exciting because he is undefeated. Most likely Pacquiao would win... and there is always the small possibility Connor wins.

Similarly, Mayweather will likely win, but, in the small % of Connor winning, it would be such a massive historic event. If Mayweather gets unlucky and loses his entire legacy I would be worry the guy commits suicide or something.

@thejaytiesto. Undefeated does not mean anything if the fighter cannot do a good and entertaining performance. A fight versus Floyd will be boring I am sure of it. Conor will be chasing him around the ring and nothing. A fight with Pacquaio will be full if action and I do not think the Irishman will last in the ring against him. That would be a real fight not like what both Floyd and Conor are hustling right now. That fight might be only for show to take our money.

Undefeated means 49 other men tried to defeat him and nobody could do it. Mayweather has had exciting performances. When he was young he was a complete package: Fast, one of the best defenses every and knockout power.

Of course as he got older he didn't have the same amount of power and just uses his jab and pushes it to 12 rounds, but its the other fighter duty to to find weak points and nobody can outsmart Floyd.

Yes that is why I said that Conor versus Floyd might be boring fight. This will be like Manny Pacquiao versus Mayweather fight. Overhyped, overpriced and very boring. What can we expect from a boxer whose main objective is to not lose rather than win?

Conor versus Pacquaio will be all action and I speculate that we could see Conor eating Pacman's flurries and fall.

The excitement is indeed in seeing Mayweather gamble with his entire legacy... Pacquiao is not undefeated, so if he loses it would be as shocking.

Chances are both Mayweather and Pacquiao will kick Conor's ass, Mayweather can still be aggressive if he bothers, look at the Canelo fight.

well most likely if this fight pushes through it would be pure boxing, something which is highly in favor of mayweather. i have high respects for connor and for what he can do, but mayweather's technical boxing skill is far beyond what connor can handle. i would love to see this happen though and i'll be rooting for connor, but i don't see him making a lot of damage to floyd

Conor can get hurt by Floyd badly, people that think just because Mayweather is defensive it will be him running and Conor not taking any punishement are getting it wrong. A repeated amount of jabs to the head can damage you badly. Jabs that are not thrown with a lot of power, may not be fatal a couple of times, but if you are not a profesional, it can KO you, so Conor is not safe from a KO since he is far from a boxing pro.

But Conor can get lucky and get a KO... that makes the fight exciting.

That will be used to hype the fight, which will assuredly be over hyped. They will say Floyd is gambling with his legacy and a little of this and a little of that but truly the fight will be one of the most boring fights in the history of boxing. What kind of legacy is that? We have seen that happen in the fight versus Manny Pacquaio. The crowd felt cheated.

Yeah i agree , there's no new things in Mayweather fights . Its like we are not interested anymore , i feel like i know what will going to happen inside the ring .His gambling with his legacy is not truly unbelievable as we see and it will only disappoint the mood of most of the watchers .

New videos on this subject:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iibTRaLBQE

I think it will happen eventually, they are just pumping the fight with videos and instagram posta and all that shit to get as much people interested a possible. It's like they are pumping an altcoin with hype, then when the hype is at all time highs they will dump the altcoin for bitcoin. Classic move :D

I read an article that mentioned Freddie Roach thinks the fight between Conor and Floyd could happen. He also said that he is willing to train Conor if the Irishman wants to. With a top boxing coach interested in training Conor now I am intrigued. Maybe it could really happen.

It's obvious that the fight will happen now, so we are going to be seeing a lot of this back and forth.. it's called marketing. They will announce the final deal probably this year during Xmas, and the fight will happen in 2018, probably first quarter, second quarter latest... and it will be a success, highest selling fight ever easily, it's the ultimate business for everyone involved.

We all know the possibilities of that happening.The sad part is,the fights will be booked,players will paid to lose.The loser would be offered more money.This is how the scene works,everyone wants their pockets to be full.That fight won't determine who the actual winner is.If you have watched Southpaw you may know how these things go around.

Are you saying Mayweather doesn't care if he losses and he is only for the money?
Same goes for McGregor...

Competitive guys that reach big things take too much pride on their craft. Sure they want to get paid, but they HATE lossing, which means they will not fuck around and they will try their best to win, there is no doubt about that in my mind. No amount of money can bribe these 2 super competitive guys. Maybe some guy that wasn't undefeated and near retirement and didn't care, but that's not the case for both fighters. It will be a real and competitive fight.

@pereira4. That brings me back to what I have been saying in this thread. This fight will be so boring just like the Pacquiao versus Mayweather fight. Floyd hates losing and is doing this for the money. He is a hustler. So we will see him avoid getting hit all night in all rounds while Conor ineffectively chases him around.

The winner will be Floyd because of points of course.

For me, watching Floyd Mayweather box is never boring, maybe is because I do some boxing myself and know the details of the sport. What he does is extremely difficult... but yes, I can understand that casual fans only want to see huge guys with massive KO power like Mike Tyson and George Foreman.

It is still a very interesting fight to see because of its oddity of 2 mixed sports for the casuals so we will see. I just hope it happens so I can make easy money again thanks to Floyd since he should win.

No doubt. Floyd will win this win. He will be too defensive for as Connor will be having a hard time hitting him. But casual fans or not I think we still love to see 2 fighters slugging it out and not to tactical or defensive game. But yes, this is easy money to bet to and I don't think the odds will be in Connor. So Floyd will be the betting favorite here if even they face each other on the ring.

It all comes down to a potential KO.
Im sure that if the fight goes into 12 rounds, and Floyd does his usual defensive routine until the end, but then Conor suddenly lucks out with a great punch that KO's Floyd in the 12 round, nobody will say it was boring... but if there is no final KO, people will say it was boring.

Non hardcore boxing fans only care about KO indeed.

That will be an awesome ending there. Seconds to go, then Connor hit Mayweather with a left. Mayweather is down, fans at their feet!!! However, I believe this will not happen as Mayweather is too intelligent to let this kind of scenario happen. So the boxing fans will gonna call this boring, robbed of their money, not good as hype etc...

Indeed, it would be shocking, Conor would become a legend, and Mayweather's legacy would be hindered, even if realistically he would still be a boxing legend, that would look really ugly for his legacy. 50-0 is a perfect record, retiring 49-1 would suck.

I am far from a casual fan and I never said that all Floyd Mayweather's fights were boring. What my point is I know this fight will be over hyped just like the Floyd versus Pacquaio fight and it will not deliver the goods. Pacman versus Floyd was one of the most boring fights in history, and it was so boring that the pundits started declaring that boxing is dead.

Well, Pacquiao vs Floyd didn't deliver because of Pacquiao's fault. He was the aggressor, he should have breaken the Mayweather barrier, but he couldn't, so Floyd made him look bad. Pacquiao got some good hits here and there but that's that.

But let's not forget Pacquiao is old. McGregor is in his prime physically, I think he can be an aggressor for a long time, we will see what happens, but it will probably disappoint compared to the amount of money such a fight will raise.

So if the Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather fight ends up the same where Conor cannot break the barrier of Floyd and then have 12 rounds of nothing then this will be another overhyped and boring fight, right. The people will say it is Conor's fault because he cannot hit Floyd.

That was the whole point. I do not care who's fault it is.

Haha me as well. The point is it would be a very boring fight indeed. Yet i also still dont care i still want to get the chance if conors fight outside the octagon.

If this match really takes place single punch could end this match,people have to understand that Mayweather is 40 years old and he is not that active and did not have a fight in a very long time so i really doubt whether his reflex will be the same when he returns and everyone knows Conor has knockout power and he is bigger than Mayweather.

@Harry Callahan. First of all this is what I really think, this fight is not a real fight. This is an event to hustle money out of the fans of boxing and MMA. Both fighters will have no real motivation to knock each other out. Their motivation is money. This will be a boring fight.

Well any fight that includes mayweather would be boring as hell especially if you're an mma fan. But i agree. Most likely if this fight is going to happen, it would be just about making money for the people behind it. It might just even be staged i don't know. And that may just as well be a bad idea for connor's image if he would agree to this fight

It may look like that from the outside because its 2 different sports collapsing and when that happens it's always a freak show or some ridiculous, but make no mistake, those are two of the most competitive men on the planet, they hate losing, the hits are real and hurt, this is not a game, they will fight. Once you are on the ring, everything else is doesn't matter but winning.

Common guys this is business, this is all about the money. This is 2 different sports and this will not be competitive because its 2 combat discipline. But if Mayweather face off the ring with Connor, we will not see a real fight and will only do it just for the money. Of course they hate losing but when you imagine the money that will be generated, one has to think if they are doing this for real of just for the sake of the money they gonna earn. IMHO.

You are absolutely right, but let's not deprive ourselves of some profits (Bitcoins or fiat) even if they sell a poor fight just like the way most boxers make the money and still sell the boring fights.

Yes it's all about profit, but you are missing the point. It will be a real fight, it will be real competitive. You don't know anything about those 2 fighters if you think they will not go on the ring to win. Mayweather CAN'T lose, it would destroy his entire boxing career, so he will be as serious as he was with Pacman, make no mistake..

I do believe that this is possible since I'm not updated with news about these two. But I guess if McGregor will let Floyd to get higher amount of shares for this fight then I guess Floyd will take the deal. We know him, a scaredy pants that wants money and fame or make this game as a scripted one and will let Floyd win in the end for the sake of business.

Floyd would never lose for no amount of money, same for McGregor. They are too competitive, they value winning over money, too much ego in the line. One of the good things about this fight is exactly that: no amount of money can corrupt this fight. Both fighters want to win, and that is all that is needed for a good fight.

Floyd is known for being as the money machine. I'm thinking more about they are valuing about the money instead of valuing winning the game. But you've got the point on this, it's all about the ego and the title that they wanted to get. I hope that this fight will be cooking in the stage soon.

Yes just like the 2 most competitive boxers of the world still made one of the most hyped and most boring fights the history of boxing. It is not only I who thinks so but also some of the expert pundits do too.

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2017/3/7/14830070/fight-science-floyd-mayweather-vs-conor-mcgregor-dont-believe-the-hype-ufc-boxing

In the end, we actually feel there is a great potential for this to be a boring fight. Mayweather never let his ego impose on his fighting style hence the reason for his perfect record. Floyd’s style has never been to stand-and-bang.

Read that article. It was also mentioned that those 2 are counter punchers. We could see most of the fight where both will not do anything except stare at each other.

The fact that some people think this or that fight was boring does not mean that Mayweather doesn't fight to win, that is exactly what he does and that is exactly im what im saying.

Mayweather wants to win at all costs, he does not give a fuck if casual fans think its the most boring fight in history. He will try to be as effective as possible and WIN.

It is also the 49 men that tried fault, that not a single one managed to destroy his composure.

@thejaytiesto. I have never mentioned that either Floyd or Conor do not fight to win. Of course they do. What I said is this fight is a money making hustle. We are the victims of this overhyped and what might be a boring fight.

Yes Floyd will do anything at all costs to win. Even if his performance is boring.

Indeed, it is a work of hype, but all fights are that. They have a hyping period, then the fight happens the fighters get rich, one of them richer than the other.


Just like stocks, hype progress, pump, then the dump.

But again, the fights are real. And again, if Floyd is boring, isn't it the other fighter's fault too? If the other fighter managed to KO him, it wouldn't be seen as a boring fight, but nobody can caught Floyd, and when he gets caught, he has a good chin and doesn't go down.

@thejaytiesto. Bloodyelbow, who are pundits and know what is going on in fighting sports, are saying this will be a boring fight. I said this is going to be a boring fight, but seeing it being said by the close observers and commentors of the sport and the personalities in it, I can say that is a small validation with what I am thinking. The only people who think it will play out any different are the ones who are riding the hype train.

@bbc , we all know that Conor Macgregor cannot win a boxing match against the best in the world when it comes to boxing and the advantages for Mayweather are many as Conor is by far a amateur boxer by caliber but he does have good accuracy and power when compared to Mayweather and anyone would give Conor a punchers chance to win the match.

You have a point. and i vote to mayweather since he already defeat pacman i think he is also stronger than conor..
Mayweather is strong .. that is why he just lose from pacman i think pacman is concentrating to hard train. well we know pacman is a strongest man..
If we compare the fight of mayweather and mcgregor mayweather still strong for me..

Mayweather would beat mcgreggor its not about who is toughest mayweather is the best technical fighter in the world
And knows how to score points each round. And can dodge punches like no other, mayweather by decision

So this fight is really possible to happen now. I just saw it on facebook and specific with the "The Worldwide Sport Of Boxing" page. The fight will happen on June 2017. This will make another billion dollars for Floyd. This is a shame to McGregor fighting with a quack duck that knows nothing but to keep on running.

Again, it will be all about conor getting a lucky punch and potentially KO'ing mayweather. Yes, mayweather will outbox conor, but conor has some brutal punching power, if mayweather gets caught, he can get KO'd. It's hard but not impossible:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ofeqQ_ljCk

So the excitement is in conor getting the lucky punch or not.


Lol what kind of idiot says "mayweather knows nothing but running", you dont know shit about boxing.

In my place they call Mayweather that way, you didn't get the sarcasm on it pal. And it's hard to say who will win this match it looks like many are getting into Mayweather since it is his terrority. But let's don't underestimate what Conor can do. In boxing, miracle happens.

Doesn't matter if Mayweather is not fun to watch, this "chicken" who loves to run has been give me money for years betting on him. Conor is good but not as good as The Money, let's see if this will happen but I have not check if there is a line available already but I would not change my mind on my bet. Actually if it's pacquaio vs conor, that will more exciting as you can see a toe to toe fight between the true.

The argument is not about that. It is about how this fight is a hustle both by Conor Mcgregor and Floyd Mayweather. They created this drama in social media to garner interest from the boxing and MMA fans. This is not about making a good fight. This is about making money from what might become a boring fight.

Either way they will be making shit load of money with this single fight and that is a fact ,so in my opinion they are winners in that aspect because they are already generating enough hype and speculation that all the major media outlets as well as fans are anticipating this fight now,lets forget about the fight potential of both fighters,this single fight has a potential to be the first billion dollar fight which will be the highest PPV in history,the economic implication are massive and so is the reason this match will be a spectacle.

MMA is business next is fighting, boxing is business next is fighting and titles. They have the same routine and cycle and bbc is right, it doesn't matter if Conor cannot shift immediately with boxing and it doesn't matter if he will win against Floyd. This is all about the pool money that they are going to collect to get the interest of MMA fans, boxing fans and for the whole sports nation.

This is what I'm telling. Its all about business of making money. But I think its still Floyd who gonna win because he doesn't want his 0 to be taken by someone who is not a boxer. Both will demand a higher percentage of  the revenue. Create hype until such time that the casual fans and hard core fans are willing to buy the ticket for a higher price only to see that the fight is not what they are expecting, a boring one. Although McGregor not only stands to make a ridiculous amount of money by taking the Mayweather fight, but he doesn't has a chance of beating of Floyd.

I think Mayweather would commit suicide if he ever lost, he never wanted to loss, he has the biggest ego in boxing. He always backed it up which is awesome. Some people apparently think playing defensive and winning every time against 49 professionals is easy.

That is a very good point and I guess that is the bottom line of what I was trying to say. It is all a business first before anything else. Never mind the hustle as long as they put up a good fight. I speculate a lot of the same people who bought into the hype will also be the ones whining if it turned out boring.

Maybe not the hyped crowd in this thread. It will be too hard to admit for them. :D

Mayweather is back at it: New video claiming comeback in june, "let's do it"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2EKIj_pElo

The video already reached near 1 and a half million views. I think it's happening for sure now. What other fight can generate those views in hype videos?

Every site available whether it be for fiat or bitcoin gambling would allow you to place a wager on the fights results.
Most certainly they would all.
It is big money for them on a draw like that after all.

They played in two different sports. Equally game fight, but there is very prominent. First, Ring boxing and UFC ring differently. The boxing ring or rectangular, with a rope as a boundary. While UFC hexagon shaped and not a rope, more like a cage in the WWE, only without the upper lid and the hexagon-shaped. Secondly, boxing just use the hand while the UFC is allowed to kick. If their fight would be held, perhaps there should be some new rules created specifically to fight between them. McGregor obviously have to adapt again if there is a rule that does not allow kicks.

This is an official call out for McGregor, if he refuses to fight then we will know he never really wanted the fight. Floyd is right: He is the A side and Conor is the B side.

Mayweather's been king of boxing for 20 years now and is arguably the greatest defensive fighter of all time. McGregor doesn't stand a chance. Floyd has years of experience and is just as sharp as he was 20 years ago. When McGregor steps in that ring he'll find out why Mayweathers on top.

So what will he do to Conor? Defend his way to victory? That is funny.

There are rumors that Floyd Mayweather has been swindled for a lot of money that is why he wants this fight. Michael Bisping who was in Las Vegas was asking around about this boxing match and he got some news about Floyd's situation.

Yeah rumor is he lost a big amount of money in some bad deal. This motivates him even more to win if anything.

What will he do? the same thing he always does, outbox the opponent, incisive and precise jabs and world class defense. If he spots a good angle he may try a KO since Conor is not a pro and I see him making mistakes that he can exploit.

Just like the Manny fight,Floyd Gayweather would this one too and not to mention but Gregor will get doubled of what Gayweather gets.If it still happens,match would be fixed by the managers as it will be more of a money thing rather an actual fight between the two champs.

@Patatas. I finally see you have seen beyond all the hype. Also get this, they will also try to create a controversy for the fight one way or another. You know what the result of that will be? Another opportunity to make them fight again so the promoters and everyone else involved can make money again.

that's the idea beyond, making this realistic so those beyond this will enjoy a lots of money coming from fans and gamblers as we knew that they just wanted to keep this fight to be push and take advantage of those who loves to see gayweather being crunch but like what happen to pacquaio it will just the promoters will win in the end.

I like Floyd Mayweather, he is a very good defensive fighter (or just a very good fighter in general). From what I remember on UFC, Conor McGregor is just some guy who recently won a championship belt and thinks that he's on some next level stuff.
The weird thing is that Conor McGregor is a younger guy trying to fight an old guy that's been through some stuff in and even outside the ring. The whole fact that Floyd Mayweather is even trying to get a fight contract is pretty childish.

One hash will let you bet on anything there. :D
So I would try that site if you are still wondering when they actually do start and commit to a match or not

There is nothing childish here,there is big money to be made with a fight like this and Conor Mcgregor is the top draw in MMA history and Floyd Mayweather is the top draw in boxing and if they collide there is millions to be made and both will be multi millionaires if the fight came to fruition and so this fight is all about money and i am sure it will happen pretty soon as even Dana White recently said it could happen contrary to his earlier statements.

I want to see Conor McGregor crack a powerful straight across Floyd's chin and knock him out for the first time in his life. That will be something historic in boxing and it took an MMA fighter to do it. The I hope every fan of fighting sports will start looking into MMA.

He would need to get really lucky, if he does that it will be in the first rounds I think. If he leaves floyd do his thing, it will be 7 easy rounds in a row for floyd. Connor will gas out, he is not used to 12 rounds.

Conor Mcgregor is a dead man walking in a boxing against the one and only Floyd Mayweather jr. Conor McGregor is delusional if he thinks he has realistic chances at winning.

His only way out is a lucky left had in Mayweather's chin during the first 1 or 2 rounds before Mayweather analyzes McGregor movements.

As I have said, this is a easy fight for Mayweather, I agree with you he will never has a chance against Mayweather. And I doubt he can land a lucky left on Floyd, even Manny who is faster that Connor wasn't able to land a good left on Floyd's chin. In paper this is a good fight, but in the ring this is Mayweather's world and Connor can't touch him.

Are they still allowing us to wage a bet on this match because it is quite certain that the fight will happen as both parties knows how much money they can make with this spectacle and even the UFC will allow this match to happen. I really hope it will be a knock out and Mayweather will win the match.

This is very true. That is why after 1 or 2 rounds of trying, Conor will not know what to do. Floyd will also not do anything because he is a counter puncher. Since this is Floyd's world as you said why not teach Conor a lesson in boxing by attacking him?

This ain't gonna happen Mayweather is a chicken he always want to fight him in the ring not in the ufc ring he wants a boxing compitition where there are no kicks and other things that use in ufc also Mayweather wants a unfair salary where he always wanted to take 60/40 even he lose or win but there are always a mafia happen.

Lol you are clueless. McGregor is the one that called Mayweather out to begin with. Mayweather is 40, he is not going to learn mixed martial arts just to fight this guy. McGregor wins most of his fights standing up, he is a striker, so the fight is more even.

Mayweather is a boxing legend, of course he is going to get the bigger paycheck.

The fame whores.
This will not happen, it is just fame that they want and it is being bitten by people.
McGregor wants to be known to cover up his lost. Pfft. This two will not fight and McGregor is way to far to get the fight that he want. Mayweather won't risk his clean record just for him.

Okay why don't we start a bet? thats what the thread is about. I would like to bet some BTC that the fight happens and McGregor and Mayweather fight, and that Mayweather wins by decision.

Recent video by McGregor claims they are very close to seal the fight:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Geoubqr254c

Its happening.

In the eyes of Mayweather ,Conor is an amateur and never had a professional debut in boxing but he is making huge amount of money and a fight with him means he could earn almost half a billion in revenue and Mayweather has said that he is coming out of retirement just to face Conor Mcgregor,since this is a big money fight it might take some time to settle the scores as there will be many people trying to get a share from this event,what ever it is the match will happen.

It's obvious that Mayweather doesn't think Conor is a real treat, otherwise he wouldn't even consider the fight, but he is underrating him, Conor is a striker, he can get lucky in the first rounds so he must pay a lot of attention or he can get KOd.

Maybe they are just finalizing the final split of the purse so negotiation is still on-going. But yes, Mayweather is pure genius inside the ring that not even Connor will hit him and win the fight. Of course there is always the element of luck here if he was able to hit Mayweather straight up maybe he can KO Floyd.

@TravelMug. I speculate everything is ok behind the scenes if this fight is indeed going to happen. All they are doing no is some final touches of drama to make the audience more engaged. The next wise step for them to do is tell everyone that the fight will not happen anymore to get more attention. Then declare that it is finally really happenning  for real.

Coming from Shawn Porter:

http://www.boxingscene.com/porter-mcgregor-sparring-looked-bad-mayweather-batters-him--114910 (http://www.boxingscene.com/porter-mcgregor-sparring-looked-bad-mayweather-batters-him--114910)

Feel free to discuss.

I agree. Floyd Mayweather will win this fight on points. But will it be he beating up Conor McGregor to a pulp? I do not think so. Both fighters are counter punchers and we might not see a lot of action between them.

The title of the news said the word batters. There was nothing that Shawn Porter said that Floyd will batter Conor. How can anyone say that by watching 1 leaked footage.

If in case this fight pushes through, and both fighters eill slig it out, then my money's definitely on connor. Mayweather's technique is based mostly in avoiding being hit. I don't think he can survive if he trades punches with mcgregor though if the fight is going to be pure boxing, i agree that floyd will win on points. I don't think he would even agree to do an mma fight with anyone since his technique can't be applied there

No, Floyd will not slug it out with Connor. If even he slug it out, Connor would have a hard time hitting Floyd clean. Floyd will adjust his game with Connor, but Connor can't. Of course, this will be pure boxing, not a mma because Floyd will be a disadvantage. Connor will try to let this fight not a boring one, but knowing how Floyd's style, this will be a non-exciting fight.

All Floyd got to do is do his usual routine, jab jab jab, shoulder roll, keep a distance using his long reach, find some good angle and throw a right from time to time. The KO would start to show at around round 6 when Connor starts losing his mind as the boxing match becomes endless in front of an elusive Mayweather.

Conor has to be very aggressive in rounds 1 and 2 or else he's done for.

Definitely there is a place to gamble for mayweather and mcgregor fight if this totally happen. There promotors will definitely collaborate with big businessman for a creation where people will bet or gamble whether it's online or a real betting system because this popular and this is going be a good fight.

unfortunately all still only "if". Because I am not convinced that the fight between Mayweather and McGregor will happen. their boxing is boxing is different. Mcgregor very accustomed to kicking, are used to make a kick, while Mayweather is not allowed to kick . Obviously the differences in their fight, their kick gives more advantages to Mcgregor, although Mayweather is not that easy fighter to beat. He is the best at this time in their field.

Both fighters counter punchers. Conor will chase him for a while but this will end up with 12 rounds of nothing. 2 fighter waiting and maybe there will be a few occasional exchanges but still there will be nothing. At the end of the day the fighters, the promoters and the sports media are laughing all the way to the bank after the fight.

New interview with Dana White on Macgregor vs Mayweather:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Brcz4LsnUTo

He claims he wants to do it for Conor. Notice how he has switched position and now he went from saying the fight was impossible to saying it will happen because it's too much money on the lane.

It will definitely happen, anyone not seeing this yet is blind.

Do you guys really think that this fight will happen?
The whole thing looks a little off to me, why would that old Boxer try to go inside a ring with a UFC fighter? The whole thing just seems like a WWE episode.
If Mayweather goes into the Octagon with the other guy then Mayweather will lose. As for Boxing, I am pretty sure that Mcgregor will lose the match.
People watch pretty much anything on T.V nowadays.

Fight will happen 100% guaranteed at this point. Mayweather wants it because he needs some extra money. Conor wants it because he can make more money than he will in any other fight. Dana has now switched position and he thinks it will happen. It's on!!

Some new videos with Dana White:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxV0vjixDe4

I think happening. He says Mayweather-McGregor will be only crossover fight so this means it's happening. Anyone that took a bet for the fight happening would have won me included.

Then this will be one of the biggest fight if not the biggest fight since Mayweather vs Pacquiao. Let's hope it push through to see which mouth is louder during the press conference.  ;D

I think like you, I think they will come out for show purposes. But since everything is for the money, I think Mayweather will win in this game if I am not mistaken. But for the time being I can hardly say anything clearly, even when they explain, they have both declared war on each other. I do not think it's going to be that easy for money.

Well it's going to be quite a boring fight not very much suited to the style of mcgregor and if it happens i think mayweather would easily frustrate connor with his superb technical skills. And i agree that this would all be for promotional purposes as they promoters would cash in a huge amoubnt in their paychecks if ever this pushes through

I think this will be one of the biggest fight in the history, I will go for Floyd Mayweather over McGregor. It's obviously Mayweather will use the ring and will not engage too much against to Mcgregor. You know Floyd will not stake his 49-0 for nothing, when this fight happens, obviously he will use and control the ring just what he did when he fought Manny Pacquiao.

Yes, I agree, Mayweather will defeat Connor. Easy fight for Floyd. We all know how Floyd's fight so its up, but I'm sure this will be sold out and PPV record numbers in the making. And for all we know, they are all in the business of making money. 50-0 for Mayweather here.

This is a PPV record breaker for sure, it will never be surpassed, no other fight can ever come any close, you would need something ridiculous like Barack Obama vs Donald Trump to surpass Mayweather vs McGregor in terms of sales.

I would of course still somehow consider the high possibility that mayweather would really brought a boring fight(duh we all know how he does his money making/boring fight most of the time) still i am hoping for a good shot from the crazy muffin mcooner

It's great news that this fight will happen, we are all indeed hoping that McGregor has a lucky strike and manages to KO him, and if he KO's him, it will be a historic moment.

If not, well, Mayweather can retire with a perfect 50-0 record and continue living a dream life.

I LOL'ed at the Barack Obama vs Donald Trump thing. Hmm. I may have wondered if this can broke Mayweather-Pacquiao PPV record? If my memory serves me right. Connor vs Diaz 2 and Lesner vs Mir holds the record with 1.6M buys. while May vs Pac does 4M. The most I estimate if ever they fight is to double the current record of UFC which I put around 3.2M only. Still far the record. IMHO.

This will crush the May vs Pac record for sure, 5 million tickets minimum, possibly something huge like 10 million. May vs Conor will be the highest selling fight ever, I doubt it will ever be topped.

This is two martial arts discipline. Boxing and MMA. Both have a solid following. The fight will promoted globally and we know how Ireland loves Connor. Similar to what England has done to Ricky Hatton in boxing. And a lot of casual boxing fans love to watch Mayweather lost, so they will be buying as well together with the hard core fans. With that said, it can break May vs Pac PPV records.

It's clear that we are making progress but still not close at all, according to this latest interview of Dana White (UFC CEO). So I would say don't expect anything for 2017, but 2018 would be the year, because if it gets delayed beyond there, it will be too late.

If it gets delayed more than a year and half, that is after 2018 then it would be too late for both of the fighters. They have the heat right now it would be great to gamble for a fight like that.

It is not that easy to set a match of this magnitude pretty soon as it will be the biggest pay per view event in sports history and there are more egos in both teams as they will be fighting to keep everyone happy as i am expecting this fight to make around a billion dollars,so everyone is looking forward for this match but their egos have to be in the right place to make this fight happen and if at all if it happens it will be by 2018.

Haven't seen the videos yet. But I know Dana White is opposing the fight initially. Just change his mind maybe for the good of sports or because of the huge amount of money they will profit or gain if the fight is push through?

Big news!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvvY8tFx18U

According to this latest interview with Dana White, it's clear that the fight is happening with 99% chances. Conor McGregor will get $75,000,000, Mayweather will get $100,000,000+.

The negotiation of how the fight will be are still up, but im sure it will be a full federated boxing match. I dont believe some weird changes like size of ring and type of gloves customization will not be tolerated by the Mayweather side, but Conor wants the money and will take anything.

This huge thread on if that fight will actually happen just seems funny to me.

What seems to be funny about it? We are discussing here the chance of the fight to be happened. This will set precedence in the history of boxing and MMA sports. If you are fans of both, then you are going to be thrilled to see the fight push  through. I just think you don't know about boxing and MMA in general.  That's why you don't have interest in it and find it to be funny. But not to hard core fans.

You are insane. This is a gambling forum and this fight will be the biggest price purse of all time. There will never be a fight this big with this much money. Billions of dollars will be on the betting casinos, it will the be all end all of bets. I predict all odds on Mayweather, so if McGregor wins people betting wins for McGregor will get rich.
I think 8:1 odds will be it.

New videos:

Conor McGregor showing some moves, what do you think? I can't extract any information from this, we'll see how he looks like against him in the ring. He looks sharp but that's nothing. The boxing sparring i've seen of McGregor thus far is rather disappointing. I can't wait for this fight to happen, biggest show ever.

This is just the hype work in progress. The fight is going to keep getting hyped until it reaches insane amount of all time high attention, then the dump will come in form of a fight thay me a flop but who cares, it will be fun watching them both on the ring and they will make a ton of money (and potentially us too by gambling on the biggest purse ever)

We'll see the fight in 2018 almost 100% imo.

It won't happen 100%! Maybe 10% but not a full hundred percent. Mayweather doesn't want his record destroyed and he is a chicken! He will not fight head on like what he did with Pacquiao. Back again to this discussion, pacquiao won that fight for aggression which Mr. Chickenweather did not have!

Mayweather is a world class boxer. He has risked his perfect record for decades, pretty sure he can do it once again vs a guy that isn't even a boxer, get 50-0 perfect record and make 9 figures in a day.

Latest Updates on Mayweather vs Mcgregor:

Dana interview: "im trying my hardest"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN6xCgaEB5c

Dana interview "Mayweather is waiting on me"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzkL3JO4jBg

Mayweather interview: "patiently waiting."

I see some progress, Dana used to say it's impossible, now he says he is trying and wants to do it. Fight is pretty much confirmed in my book for 2018, so remember this thread, whoever said it will not happen is wrong (unless something ridiculous happens like an injury)

This proposed match is dragging the entire UFC for now as the division is still on a  stand still with this proposed fight and it is really difficult to get everyone involved and make everyone happy when big money is involved ,this fight might happen next year and what i think is that McGregor has to vacate the title if he is not having any plans to fight in the UFC.

Looks like the Floyd Maweather vs Conor McGregor fight was going to be o the same date as the GGG vs Canelo fight, so now the potential fight got postponed.

It was good to see Canelo beat Chavez Jr, it just shows how good Floyd was when Floyd made Canelo look like an amateur.

I don't think so. McGregor said that he was taking a break from the UFC anyway because he's having a baby. Fights keep happening and the UFC can live without Conor for a while. I think it will be good for him to get thins thing over We are going to see a great boxing match because there's too much money to not go 100% at it.

Once this is done, McGregor can go back to kicking some ass in the UFC and he will be so rich no mater if he wins or loses vs Mayweather.

If this fight will happen, then this would be great, of course! Mayweather is a world class boxer. But then again, rendering to this cutting-edge conference of Dana White, the UFC CEO, "So I would say don't expect anything for 2017, but 2018 would be the year, because if it gets delayed beyond there, it will be too late." Then for McGregor, he can go back to the UFC and win or lose? That doesn't matter besides he is so damn rich.

@pereira4 It is time that McGregor show some guts to defend his belts,do you really know that he has not defended any one of his titles inside and outside of the UFC and you will never be considered as a champion if you really cannot defend your belt.The fight against Mayweather will make him millions and i am sure he might retire after the match without defending any of his belts. :D

a fight with mayweather won't prove anything for mcgregor. if that fight pushes through at all, I don't think it would be as competitive as we expect it to be. it probably would be a boxing match and I don't think the skills of connor would be shown in full. might as well defend the belt in the octagon than waste time forcing a match with mayweather

He is out making big money with advertisements and now with boxing about to make more money in a night than all all nights of UFC. It's to be understood that he is doing what he is doing. If he goes on the UFC and has a bad night and loses, his cache will be damaged and he will not be able to demand 75 million for the boxing match and keep racking millions on ads.

Its all about the money. McGregor will only fight Floyd because we will rake millions of millions. We all know that he will loss if even they fight. I think Connor can still go back to UFC and continue to be a big star even if he losses to Floyd. And I think we will defend his belt against anyone, its that he is now chasing a fight with Floyd because of the big payday. But I don't know if he still has the enthusiasm or the energy we have seen him before to fight in UFC after getting a lot of money because of the Mayweather fight. Yeah, he might retire.

Of course he will go back after the Mayweather fight, he still has to fight some interesting UFC matches that the fans want to see, but after the Mayweather fight, he should be able to retire for life and live a pretty lavish lifestyle, of course not on Mayweather level, but lambos and mansions lifestyle, a couple at least. Not private jet lifestyle tho, you need 200+million networth for that.

Dana White will give the negotiations one last push. If he can reach an agreement with Conor and Floyd Mayweather soon then more negotiations continue but it is not an assurance that it will surely happen.

He also implied that the negotiations are already interfering with his job at the UFC.

“I think (the chances of a deal with McGregor) are pretty good. Hopefully Monday I’m going to sit down and negotiate with Team Mayweather. I just can’t keep messing with this thing. I have to run my business and I have to focus on all the other things that are going on around here.”

Read this article http://www.mmanews.com/dana-white-on-mcgregor-vs-mayweather-i-just-cant-keep-messing-with-this-thing/

It would be stupid from all parts to not reach any sort of agreement. If there is any fight that can be bigger than Canelo vs triple G then that has to be the Mayweater vs McGregor one for sure, so if he wants to stay relevant for a long time he needs to get this done and then an UFC fighter will be part of history forever. UFC is yet to prove its not more than a fad and this would help.

@pereira4. MMA has become a billion dollar sports industry. It is not a fad. If some people will say it is then I will also say that boxing is dead. Counter a false statement with another false statement.

The latest news is Conor has signed the contract to fight Floyd Mayweather. Dana White will now go to Floyd's manager and adviser Al Haymon to talk and convince him to sign the contract also.

McGregor, who is the reigning UFC lightweight champion, released a statement to The Mac Life addressing his contract signing:

“It is an honor to sign this record breaking deal alongside my partners Zuffa LLC, The Ultimate Fighting Championship and Paradigm Sports Management. The first, and most important part of this historic contract has now officially been signed off on. Congratulations to all parties involved. We now await Al Haymon and his boxer’s signature in the coming days.”

Read the article http://www.mmanews.com/conor-mcgregor-issues-statement-on-agreeing-to-floyd-mayweather-bout/

Lastest news from Floyd Mayweather is he was saying that he will be happy to sign his side of the deal after Conor signing his. He also said that he will first need to talk to his manager to see what their moves will be.

If it takes Floyd a very long time to sign that contract, when will we expect Conor to start talking trash on him? In 1 month or 1 week?

So the match is almost done ,with Conor Mcgregor signing the deal now it is just a matter of time that Mayweather will be signing the deal and it is really a puzzling match as Mcgregor is making his debut and Mayweather planning to win his 50th fight and reach a milestone,it is going to be a really bad day for Mcgregor but he will be crazy rich after the fight.

Many people are waiting for this match up, there are many people hoping to break Mayweather's record especially when he fought Manny Pacquiao, though Pacquiao lost. Either way, I will be berring for Mayweather in this fight, I think he has the upper hand.

I saw that match b/w Mayweather's vs Pacquiao. I am not a boxing lover, but this match was big news in our country. The price of this match also very huge am I right? This match happened early morning 4 AM in our country timing I watched this game but not that much interested. I seriously not understand how they calculate points. I thought Pacquiao would win, but he lost the game. So now this match is booming in the boxing industry Mayweather's is hot fav but don't know where to bet I heard that Directbet is closed.

People are looking at the wrong person here if they want to see mayweather's streak get broken. I don't think it will ever be at this point as he's getting old and probably will be fighting for added wealth with opponents that he can surely beat. Sadly, connor would be included as comparing their styles, and with how it's most likely to be played out, Floyd would easily beat McGregor.

Floyd will easily defeat Mcgrgor in straight up boxing and the best chance Mcgregor got is to finish the fight within the first two or three rounds and if he is not able to do that then it is going to be a long night for Mcgregor as he will school him for the rest of the rounds until and unless Mayweather wants to finish the match.

Not only that. He will beat Conor in a boring fashion. But is Conor good enough to get in Floyd Mayweather's head by talking trash to him months before the fight? Would it cause the same mistake Jose Aldo did? Maybe Conor's real fight will not start in the ring but outside.

Ok this is pretty much confirmed at this point. The deal has been signed by McGregor, now we are waiting on Mayweather to sign the deal and then it's on, possibly september 2017.

McGregor will get slapped around for 75 million and he'll make more money in a night than the entire UFC rooster ever.

Mayweather will continue living in god mode with pretty much unlimited money unless he's a complete idiot and manages to lose it somehow.

But the small chance of McGregor KO'ing up is still there, which is why the fight will be a success with the most tickets sold ever.

Good to see that McGregor has sign. Of course he will sign it all for the money.  :). Hmm, so now the ball is on Mayweather, let see if he  acts prima donna and doesn't sign for the time being to create more hype into this fight. I'm expecting that he will act like this. But damn, the money that they will be making is unprecedented of all sports. I'm guessing the tickets will be sold within minutes of its opening sale. Let the betting games begin!!!

I dont think the fight will take place though. Last I head that Mayweather, even though he started the trash talk but he's not very keen on fighting anymore and I'd say that it's a wise decision. He's got the money, He's got the fame and he's been on the news for a long time now also thanks to this drama. I dont think he has any point to prove right now. He's 40 and retired and living a good life. No point getting back and taking a chance on his legacy(in worst case scenario). In other news, Manny Pacquiao seems to be interested to fight McGregor but it doesnt have the same ring to it that Mayweather vs McGregor has.

Dude check the news. It's pretty much done at this point. Mayweather lost money recently, a big amount in some bad deal, this fight is perfect timing to get his money count back to where it was before that bad deal. He also wants the perfect 50-0 record.

McGregor is up for a big payday, he could retire forever after that fight.

Both sides have an incentive to do it.

Mayweather is back in the gym, some footage:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4aDwsQ5hn0

I doubt Mayweather would bother to put his globes on unless he was going to fight. This is further proof that he is keeping himself active for the potential fight. I think the fight will happen this year, or May 2018 since the Canelo-GGG fight is scheluded for September and Mayweather only fights in May or September.

He doesn't need the money, have you seen how much he has? He's rolling in a Lambo, has bodyguards like a normal celebrity. Most of his fame didn't come from the fights, but the way he acts outside the ring. Charities, visiting fans at home, all that cocky talk and confidence that people love. He's set for life even if he quits now.

It's obvious that Mayweather doesn't need any money, but people have different standards of living. He is aiming to become a billionaire and own a basketball team Mark Cuban style. If you are ambitious there's no such thing as enough money. The guy is smart so he's calculated in his gambles, I guess he consider it safe to fight once again against Conor for a massive payday even tho his legacy is on the line.

Has Floyd Mayweather signed the contract? Conor tweeted that something big is coming but it did not say what.

https://twitter.com/TheNotoriousMMA/status/874041932036677633

There is also news that Mayweather promotions booked a date for a boxing event on August 26, 2017. Could this be really it?

This is it:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1967386.0

I made a thread there so lets continue on there. Just look around and you'll see the news are all over the internet.


http://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/19637155/floyd-mayweather-conor-mcgregor-megafight-finalized-aug-26

Well yeah this is how he is leading his life and he is the one who has to decide to what to but being a fan of him I will say it critically because it is not all the time him but the expectations from him of many people like. I know he is involved in good social work such as charities and stuff but it will be much better to concentrate on his fight more than anything else because the reason for liking him is the ring and if he is not good at it then I am afraid to say he may lose all his fame.

Yeah you are correct that he doesn't need money. But I think he will fight for what else reason, just for the money. He think that this is a easy fight and he will earn more than we he got from Manny P. He is very smart indeed. People love to see him lose, so I think this will be sold out again and the PPV will break the record that he set with Manny and he can claim that he is the best ever.

You really think so,with the kind of spending habit he has he will lose everything pretty soon,i have seen countless super stars,football,boxers who did great and made a ton of money end up loosing everything,so this is a spectacle and i am sure both will make a lot of money with a single fight than anyone could imagine and i think it is a good business deal.

Mike Tyson is the classic example on how to lose your money even though you earn a lot during your boxing career. We all know that Mayweather is a gambler as well and he used to bet huge amount on football. So my guess really is this fight is for all the spectacle and for the money. He is still greedy as hell and he wants to accumulate as much money as he can so that he can continue to live the lifestyle that he currently have for life. This is a win-win situation for both for them specially on the part of Connor. But I think Mayweather will win this fight, although I love to bet against him because for sure the odds will be very good.

It's something that most athletes and superstars that really shows that they have just enjoyed their earnings and they didn't intend to just keep their matters to their own hands, they are spending like crazy. Iff you can't keep or save your money, then it's best to check yourself out right? Anyway, we will see the outcome when the time comes.

@Kemarit &  crwth ,I would say Conor and Mayweather are geniuses in making this fight happen,Dana White thinks Conor will fight in the UFC for $3 to $4 million this year after getting a huge pay day of over $100 million,i do not see Conor coming back in the UFC,they knew they had an opportunity to make a billion dollars with a single fight and they are going with it.I cannot dream of making these kind of money in my life time they will be earning that in a single day. :D
