    LET'S GET READY TO RUMMMMBLE....

    The money fight is here, who wins and why? Personally, I want McGregor to win, if only because we both use Calvin Klein underwear! I still think Mayweather wins because this is a "Boxing" match and McGregor is fighting out of his natural element! I also think McGregor has a harder punch and can knock out Mayweather..."IF" he's able to get past that staunch defense that he's known for...

    Regardless, I hope they put up a good fight and don't pretend they're ballerinas and dance the entire fight!!!

    Some dude on reddit who works at T-Mobile Arena, says this is gonna be a show. That they are choreographing a brawl.

    McGregor is going to be knocked down in like 25 seconds. I bet he kicks DQed for kicking.

    The title should be "Who will LOSE the money fight?" and the answer will be all the suckers buying it on ppv.

    First of all: it's a work

    In pro wrestling lingo, that means this is scripted. I bet Mayweather is supposed to let him get a few shots in to get people all in a fuss, then puts him away. Keep in mind Mayweather has been in a WWE storyline before, and per the wrestlers he fully understood and appreciated the methods of pro wrestling and its storytelling.

    Were this a real boxing match, Mayweather would win whenever he wanted to.

    Wait Mayweather is 40 yrs old retired for 2urs and the UFC dude is 29. So this is a circus billed as a real fight?

    Wonder what everyone would say if a 29yr old reigning champ boxer dropped a 40 yr old retired UFC champ. Prolly say, "well, so what he's 40yrs old...wasn't really a fair matchup"

    That won't work the other way around though

    Mayweather is going to go slow for the first 3 rounds so the people who shelled or money don't feel cheated. Once Mcgreggor punches himself out he'll go to work and point him to death. Will be another boring Mayweather fight. Can't believe that some people think McGreggor has a chance.

    THIS is a legitimate, potential scenario! McGregor has to fight against his own instincts and ground his legs. As far as the fight being choreographed, well that's also a legitimate scenario. I'll say this though, "IF" they give a good fight and don't dance around and make it look like a legit fight, they're going to set themselves up for a rematch. If they're smart, you give the people what they want.....

    P.T. Barnum should be promoting this spectacle. It isn't sports and it isn't really a fight.

    Yeah but normally he's going against actual boxers and not amateurs, McGregor couldn't even out-box Nate Diaz. This nonsense tonight is going to essentially be a REALLY expensive version of Pros vs Joes

    It appears the majority of the people who have posted so far are of the opinion that the fight will be a farce. I'll throw down a Benjamin to see for myself and report back to verify if the sentiment is/was correct.

    every Mayweather fight I've seen sucks. not gonna say its a farce but it will suck. I'm not giving Mayweather, who beats women and is a cowardly fighter, a dime. I'll watch illegally on mute while I watch the Texans instead.
