One of the biggest fights to ever be on PPV, at least in my opinion, is set for August 26. The shit talking will get more intense before they get to beat the crap out of each other and decide who really is the best boxer in the world. No matter who wins the shit talking will continue though, i can promise that.
According to UFC president Dana White, the fight will be at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and will be contested at 154 pounds. It will be a standard, 12-round boxing match with 10-ounce gloves. The Nevada Athletic Commission on Wednesday approved the request from Mayweather Promotions to put on a boxing card on Aug. 26 at the MGM Grand. The venue could change, however, to T-Mobile.
Consider the following stats when deciding who will and should win this match up. Mayweather is an undefeated boxer with a record of 49-0 and he has been fighting pro since 1996. It will be a return from retirement after almost two years for him. While McGregor is currently fighting as a pro MMA UFC fighter with a record of 21-3 and current lightweight (155 lbs.) champion. He has been unstoppable in the UFC and his attitude is as well. The big areas that will cause disscomfot for the fighters will be in the weight class of 154. Mayweather will suffer most from this as he is probably not in shape to fight in this weight class. While McGregor has his belt in the 155 lightweight class so it wont be a hard cut for him. But for McGregor he will suffer from the lack of ability to take Mayweather to the ground. Though he prides himself on his boxing game.

In my opinion I have to favor Mayweather greatly. I feel that McGregor will stand a chance in the short game but in the long haul he will get destroyed. He will have to take risks early to make an early stop. This fight could go 12 rounds. The most he has fought through is 5 in title fights and 3 for a regular non-title bought. He may be a good UFC boxer but I dont believe he cant sand and fight with Mayweather.
What do you guys think. Will you watch? Can i come over and watch with you?
