This is a pointless subject, that fight will never happen. Floyd has nothing left in this game and it's just to keep him in the headlines.

Of course. Floyd would embarrass Conor in a boxing match. But Conor would destroy him in the Octagon. It's fantasy to think it would ever take place.

Conor's been granted a professional boxing licence.

That's meaningless. Just Conor playing the PR game and getting people to talk about it.

To quote a great analyst Robin Black, for Conor to fight Floyd there are 27 things that need to happen, and getting a license is at the very bottom of that priority list. Plus, he got a California license, because it's cheap, while Floyd hasn't fought outside of Nevada since 2005.

It's hardly meaningless. For him to fight any professional boxer is huge. Who is to say he won't attempt to fight a more attainable opponent? He's the draw. The cross-over would entice the boxing fan too. I do agree Floyd is very unlikely unless astronomical numbers are offered.

I think it is most probably all posturing - for now.

Anyone here going to watch Rousey v Nunes? Tough fight this. Really think RR may struggle.

Lights out in 48s. Brutal.

So, the Mayweather v McGregor fight is ON!

Should be a straightforward points win for Floyd but you never know.

I can't see Mayweather stopping McGregor - his hands are so fragile these days. I do worry Conor might gas out though - he'll be chasing shadows in the fight and trying to land that devastating left. By rounds 9 or 10 I think he might start fading.

I'm really looking forward to it.

It should be a walkover for Mayweather but anything can happen. Who knows how Mayweather will react IF (and it's a big IF) he gets hit by Mcgregors left.

A lad I work with who trains in UFC/Boxing/Thai etc... genuinely believes McGregor will win.

He said it'll be easier for McGregor in terms of fitness as he hasn't got people holding onto him, his legs will be fresher because he won't be kicking etc...

I don't think McGregor will win but I really want him too.

Yeah I'd love McGregor to win too.

That's interesting about his fitness playing a part - that was one of my concerns. He gassed badly against Diaz. But it's a good point that he won't be grappling, kicking etc.

Also, they're using 10oz gloves compared to 4oz in the UFC.

So many factors to consider. Mayweather SHOULD win. But McGregor is a bigger, heavy handed southpaw. And he's quick closing down the distance.

Head says Mayweather UD. Heart says McGregor early KO.
