According to an ESPN report, is on for Aug26.

Ole Floyd better hope he has been keeping in shape, you know McGregor has been.

what kind of chin does mcgregor have? no question he is tough as a boot ...

Mayweather will throw a few shots, get a few points, then run from him the rest of the fight like he does all his opponents.

MMA or Marquis of Queensbury rules? That will be the difference.

Boxing. Hopefully Conor beats up the thug woman beater like a drum.

According to reports Floyd Mayweather will receive a $10 million bonus if he can read one page of a Dr. Seuss book during the weigh in.

This is an absolute FARCE!!! Mayweather will kill him in a boxing match. Now MMA vrs a boxer is great entertainment. A straight up boxing match is just a PPV 10 second disaster in waiting...

I read earlier today that mayweather just backed out of the August 26th .

He will not lay a hand on him.

Mayweather will win by points. It will not be close.

Love to see Mayweather land a few shots and start showboating and taunting him and have Mcgregor get pissed and roll him up and start raining elbows on him. Conner is a seriously bad dude but he's not a true boxer.

I've been saying all along, Mayweather will most likely school him in a boxing fight. Unless Connor lands a lucky left.

That's called "disqualification"

Can there really be a disqualification from something that isn't a real fight anyways?

I wouldn't pay a quarter to watch this crap. I'm old enough to remember the Booby Riggs/ Billie Jean King match and Muhammad Ali going against a wrestler. Hyped up bullcrap.

I'm not old enough, but I Agee

I was telling a buddy a little bit ago,... I think they should box for 3 rounds and then 60 seconds of MMA. Then 3 more rounds of boxing

But I'm pretty sure McGregor would quickly break his arm

What about Rocky and Thunderlips? Now there was a match!

If he's good enough to beat mayweather in boxing why isn't he a pro boxer? Way more money in boxing than UFC, and he's good enough to beat Mayweather he would be the best in the world right? I don't think Connor stands a chance

The only way it is going to be interesting is if McGregor really wants to win and knows the only way he can do it is to go all out from the start and hope to catch Mayweather. If he does this, it will be a short fight, one way or the other. You can be assured Mayweather's strategy will be to run and wait for a mistake since that is pretty much what he has done his whole career.

If it goes to a decision, Mayweather wins easily. If it is a TKO, McGregor has a little bit of hope.

Boxing is a bunch of crap anyhow. At least it has been for the last 15 years. When Tyson went to prison wwe,,, I mean boxing, when up in a cloud of smoke. I know all the boxing purest chuckle when you gripe about Mayweather dancing around and holding hands with the opponent but that's not fighting .It's basically playing patycake. Mma is the real deal!

MMA sucks. A good boxing match is second to none in sports entertainment, imo.

Why does mma suck? Imo it's more entertaining than watching boxing. To each his own.

Da fuk?

Yup.....

..... it's patty cake......not fighting.....

I find it to be barbaric. I'm sure if I would have been around when I was younger I'd have more interest. But if it is on today, I shield it from my children's eyes. To each there own.

And I find using the wrong "their/there/they're" barbaric....

I don't think Mayweather will get a knockout or a tko but will win on points like he usually does.

Hell there are a few on here that I'm not sure could pass that test.

Probably right. They aren't worth $340 million, either.

Oh but the smack talk we will hear from now until fight time.

i think boxing should lighten the gloves, shorten the rounds, and forget about the point, just fight till knockout or one man quits.

Boxing has become very boring.

I agree, you rarely see a true KO anymore in boxing, especially in the lighter weight classes. Mostly a lot of jabs and running away from each other once they feel they have it won on points.

This fight will be fought with 9 oz gloves . Supposedly that's lighter than the women's boxing gloves. I'm not sure who it benefits.

Doesn't Mayweather have a history of bad hands??
If that be the case 9 oz gloves could be very bad for him if he gets in a bad shot to McGregors hip, elbow or the top of his head.

Let's face it, Mayweather is going to use his boxing skills to hit and run to build points and play defense. That has been his whole career. McGregor is one tough dude, so he can weather the point building shots, probably. Unless he gets lucky and catches Mayweather, this is going to be an epic snooze fest.

I'm interested in the fight but I ain't spending a nickel to watch a Mayweather fight. Jawbone is right, epic snooze fest.

You should watch a deontay wilder fight

Yeah, but his 80 inch arm length jabs don't count as defensive fighting. They are weapons that can put a man on his arse.
