The Wait is Over! Floyd Mayweather Will Fight Conor McGregor on August 26th!
For the longest time, this boxing match was entertained by the two fighters, but nothing happened. Then, the unexpected occurred. This fight is officially going to happen at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 26, 2017. The reactions around the world were electric to say the least. People on social media sites from Twitter to Facebook were mainly talking about this super fight. From the shock that the fight was actually happening to the debates between who's going to win, it's clear that Mayweather vs. McGregor is BIG news.
McGregor had taunted Mayweather and wanted to fight for a very long time, but Mayweather was all about his money. The man goes by Floyd "Money" Mayweather, so this was expected. He's rumored to be making around $100 million off of this fight, while McGregor is rumored to be making around $75 million. Mayweather demanded this amount from the beginning, but the UFC wasn't trying to negotiate on those terms initially. Then, his argument was that he's worth way more than McGregor and that McGregor just wants a massive payday from fighting him. This may be true, but does it matter at this point? The fight is on! So, who's going to win this fight? The odds are heavily in Floyd Mayweather's favor. His professional boxing record is 49-0. Let me repeat that: His professional boxing record is 49-0. Conor McGregor's professional boxing record? 0-0. McGregor's 21-3 UFC record is impressive, though. UFC includes kicking and submission holds, which is illegal in the sport of boxing. It's not impossible for McGregor to defeat "Money" Mayweather, but according to the facts and the Las Vegas betting odds that favor Mayweather heavily, it is highly unlikely. However, the odds have been defied throughout history in sports. The world will see what the outcome of this fight is on August 26th on Pay-Per-View.
