Fight fans around the world will tune their attention toward boxing on August 26th, to watch one of the most entertaining match ups in fight history.
Super Fight Crossover!
Two champions are about to compete in a $1 Billion dollar showdown, to prove who's the greatest fighter, once and for all.
Confirmed through social media, former world boxing champ, Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr, will be fighting reigning lightweight and featherweight UFC Champion, Conor "The Notorious" McGregor.
Hosted at the T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, at 154lbs, and with 10 ounce gloves, both champions will be competing for what seems to be bragging rights as the biggest fighting superstar in the world.
With each fighter guaranteed a purse of over $100 million on the night, Mayweather's promotional company will be working around the clock to ensure this is the most watched bout in fight history. Although the exact split of the profits has been kept confidential, it's hard to imagine there being a loser.
Each man boasts an impressive record, holding reputable titles in their respective fighting styles. Mayweather holds an undefeated professional boxing record of 39 wins to 0 losses. McGregor holds a professional mixed martial arts record of 21 wins to 3 losses.
This unconventional crossover between fight sports sets a new precedent for the fight business, already estimated to gross over $1 billion in revenue, as it's never been done before.
Whether you're a boxing fan or a mixed martial arts fan, there's no doubt that this bout will be the "tale of the tape".
Fight Prediction: Given that McGregor has an age and reach advantage, and the fact that Mayweather struggles with southpaws, I believe Conor McGregor will win this fight by knockout in the first or second round. If not, I believe Mayweather will tire McGregor out by the fifth round, and win by points.
