There can only be one outcome tomorrow, Mc Gregor will give it his best shot but Mayweather's undoubted class will finish it in round 6!

LOL you hit it on the nail there. Floyd is just a boring runner and fight like a b**tch. It's like boxing is just about countering/defending punches and going all 12 rounds  :-* I think they call it the Sweet Science? More like watching paint dry :/

Grow up ffs.

I just feel sorry for the people who paid $30,000 to go watch Floyd score points lol the point system is used in case that there is no TKO or KO not be exploited  ::)

Utter Humiliation is a far greater danger than being knocked out. The skills deficit will be arse clenchingly obvious - as it would if it was an MMA fight.

McGregor will do well to land a glove on Mayweather but the above tweet is utter bollocks. McGregor if nothing else is a committed professional and a huge competitor who has a certain level of boxing skill and is forensic in his preparation. His mindset and uttter willpower would demolish domestic Irish level boxers. The farce comes in the fact that he is fighting the most skilled boxer of our generation. The tweet is consistent with a boxing snob shitting himself that his coaching skills and his sport's reputation could possibly be tarnished by a novice to the game (which it won't). By the way, I believe Mayweather wins as easy as he wants but the snobbery of the boxing pundits and die hards is beginning to grate a little.

Don't think it's snobbery. Conversely think you are doing a disservice to a lot of Irish boxers. McGregor might be fitter but of those who are fit "enough", the skill level is far more important. Stretching the point (just a little...) but Haile Gebressailasse would never get a run out for Kilkenny!

I must be the only Irish man hoping for a mayweather victory. McGregor is a gobshite!

Don't get me wrong, I don't think McGregor has a chance if this is a fair boxing match but ffs I'm sick of people trying to outdo each other with their "it's like a darts player competing in an Olympic javelin event" comparisons too. The whole thing is ridiculous but I'm setting my alarm for 4am anyway! 😀
That was never a square ball!!

I'm a definite McGregor bandwagon jumper...first fight I say was against Mendes and loved the whole package ever since...Glad I'm not an expert in either sports and just looking forward to watch it with a few beers and if (massive if) McGregor wins great and if he loses, live will go on.

Looking at this from a cynical point of view... Could we be looking at a 3 fight series.. McGregor "wins" this one. Mayweather takes the second, setting up the decider. Two great men for marketing, putting on a show and making money!! Though this depends on much value Mayweather puts in his undefeated record.

Nah, that is too Rocky like even for this! Speaking of Rocky I kinda wonder whether will be Mayweather wins easily enough but Conor comes out with credit. Mayweather wins the fight, McGregor wins the night?

Not even close, the thing is, te wife beaters record will reflect a 50-0 record, becoming the best record ever even though he fought a man who had never fought a professional fight, that is a shame and a disgrace, I will watch this farce for free and hope they knock each other out, there will be drama tonight, I suspect something will happen that the fight game has never seen.
