It's on like Donkey Kong!!!
August 26th....it's officially official! Mayweather is fighting McGregor in Vegas!
This is a boxing fight and not MMA so I think McGregor is going to get his ass handed to him but it's going to be one hell of a fight!

McGregor can take a beating so I think the fight will go a few rounds. Mayweather is good on his feet and will stay away from punches, hoping to tire McGregor out and then land a few to knock him out. I say it'll be over with in the 3rd round.

I predict another snooze-fest of dancing around punches. Everyone paying a ton of money to watch two men waltz.

Conor McGregor Will Face Floyd Mayweather Lawsuit If He Kicks in Boxing Fight
UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor is acutely aware of the potential lawsuit he will face if he throws a kick at Floyd Mayweather in their August 26 boxing superfight, according to UFC President Dana White.
The long-rumoured crossover bout between the pair has finally been made official, and White said it is clear in the contract McGregor, 28, faces financial sanctions if he calls on some of the weapons that make him so dangerous in MMA, per Martin Domin in the Mirror:
"That [kicking] will not happen; it's in the contract. This is a boxing match under the Nevada commission under the rules of boxing. We talk about a guy of Floyd Mayweather's value in the sport—the lawsuit if that ever happened...Conor loves money and he would lose a lot of money if that happened."
Mayweather, 40, has been retired since September 2015, when he bowed out with a defeat of Andre Berto that took his professional record to 49-0.
However, there has been increasing clamour for Money to take on Irishman McGregor, and the American confirmed the bout, which will be fought at light-middleweight, on social media on Wednesday.
Mayweather is rightly regarded as one of the all-time greats of boxing. While he has fielded criticism from some quarters for being defensive and boring, his record is hard to argue with, and he is a five-division world champion.
McGregor, meanwhile, is the only fighter in UFC history to have held titles in two weight divisions simultaneously—he is the former featherweight champion.
His MMA record currently stands at 21-3 but has never boxed professionally.
Mayweather will be the heavy favourite for the August clash, but both will come out as winners in the end given they are expected to pocket as much as $100 million (£78.8 million) each, per Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports.

I ordered the fight and 5 sheet pizzas. I'm having a bunch of people over and charging $10 through my front door. They get the fight, comfy chairs, pizza, and all type of drinks (alcoholic and non). The fight will probably be over with in 1 round but it's the fun of having people over to watch it and talk trash. I have people on both sides rooting for the fighters so it'll be fun.

The only thing good about the fight for me is that all of the casinos are doing parties, so I'm getting called for a lot of rigging jobs.

It was exciting to watch. I think Mayweather underestimated McGreggor and was stunned the first few rounds. Have to give a thumbs up thought to McGreggor holding it down until the 10th round. Definitely didnt expect that.
