Apparently this is on:

Anyone else think that even with the age gap and Mayweather having been out of the game for so long, Mcgregor is way out of his depth.

[Dexter-morgan]

it it going to be a Boxing match? or more like a Cage fight?

12 round, Boxing match at 153-lbs. 

[Wayne Potgieter]

Local bookies here have mayweather at $1.16 for the win and McGregor at $5.00 to win.

[Berg Man]

Battle of the egos. Unlikely, but I really would like to see McGregor take this win. Maybe if he can get Mayweather to stop running around the ring...........

[Mojoman]

Money on McGregor....although the article says it will be a boxing match...

[Capricorn]

what's McGregor's boxing record again?

I find this match up really odd. "money" may have retired, and be older, but this is still one of the greatest boxers ever. it's not like McGregor can kick the guy into submission. He has to play in Mayweather's sandpit, and outbox him. Just don't see it. But open to reasons why he could still win.

[Tubehunter]

Mayweather is the more skilled fighter in terms of boxing standards, has an impeccable record and can slip attacks better than most fighters at this level. Outside of his athletic prowess, I find him the epitome of a douche bag. I will be hoping for this alone that he lays down on the canvas....

In a straight up boxing match Conor will never beat Floyd.

Well he can throw a punch at range, but Mayweathers game is up close. Def gonna be interesting

Money is on Mayweather in this farce but I'd really like Notorious to smack his head into the 3rd row.

[Long Wheel Base]

It's an unusual bout but will be a good one to watch, Kinda like when Sonny Bill Williams and Quade Cooper went into the ring. Floyd may be pretty stupid but he is an experienced clever boxer. I am not a fan of his so will shout for the Irish dude, Conor will have to be very smart and hopefully his fitness is better than Floyd's and if he can drain him for 9/10 rounds I think  he will have him. Otherwise it will be a short one with Floyd winning with a TKO.

I can't stand either of them. Pretty sure Mayweather is the better boxer, though.

[Wayne Potgieter]

I also don't like either of them in terms of ego.

 

I am surprised they can find a ring big enough for those two heads.

Boxing gloves vs MMA gloves - BIG difference in the ring. Mcgregor is gonna get schooled properly here me thinks.

[Rocket-Boy]

Im sure Mayweather will win, it would be a different story if it was a full MMA fight though.

Mayweather is a wuss though who will never take on something he isnt sure that he will win.
