    We know this is going to be big in the next week so were going to have this one and only thread on it.

    There are going to be a few ground rules though.

    1. This is to only discuss the fight.
    2. No name calling of either fighter please.
    3. Keep it civil other than that according to the AH charter.
    4. Have fun.
    5. Forgot to add, If you want serious discussion on it please go to the boxing forum. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057692388
    Read their charter before posting.
    Poll results are public (I think.)

    Posting links to illegal streams will result in cards and bans and maybe even sitebans if the admins are in one of their humours.

    Well, not clicking on threads with Mayweather and McGregor in the title would be a good start I suppose.

    In a real fight the boxer would win but as its a pantomime I will go for a draw

    Because boxing has never been associated with farce before this fight.

    I'd love McGregor to win but I just don't think he'll get anywhere near Mayweather no more than Mayweather having a chance against McGregor in an MMA fight ......... in any case it's a win-win for McGregor, if he loses he'll still get a big fat cheque and the excuse of "well, I'm not a boxer so ........" and if he actually wins ........ happy days! :)

    I'm hoping McGregor pulls off a miracle and knocks him out. More so to see the internet meltdown that would result.

    Funny hearing everyone saying it's a joke and a farce etc.. but funny enough they'll be watching if they are honest. Iv'e no interest in boxing or MMA but i think it will be good entertainment and im looking forward to it. Few friends coming over, game of cards, few beers should be a good night.

    Yep, by KO. McGregor will do everything he can to survive the first, then Mayweather will finish him in the second.

    They both lasted longer than McGregor will

    The fight will end one of two ways ............ Mayweather running around the ring throwing the odd jab with McGregor chasing him for 12 rounds with Mayweather winning on points .......... or McGregor somehow landing a lucky left with Mayweather going down like a smacked toddler ......... can't see Mayweather getting caught off guard though!

    What's the longest McGregor has ever fought? Serious question.

    Yep. And watched him never accept a fight he would lose. Can't see this being any different. Also, McGregor isn't a boxer.

    Some of the best boxers in the business, including some all time greats, have tried to land knockout blows on Mayweather and haven't succeeded - so how on Earth some people think McGregor will be capable of doing so is beyond me.

    Even if he does succeed in landing anything substantial,which is unlikely, Mayweather has a solid beard and will be well able to deal with it. The man got hit bang on the jaw by Shane Mosley and managed to pull through it and boss the fight, he'll be well able to deal with anything McGregor has.

    The whole fight is a farce, it's the equivalent of Paul O'Connell lining out for Real Madrid and people expecting him to bag a hat-trick in the Champions League final. This fight is an entertainment gimmick more along the lines of WWE than a serious sporting contest.

    Fair play to them, the two lads are laughing all the way to the bank for a total non-event. I wouldn't be surprised if they've already choreographed the whole thing.

    I'm rooting for McGregor but everyone knows Mayweather is going to win. I know almost nothing about boxing or UFC but it's what I read lol.

    Mayweather DQ
    Remember Conor v Diaz 1. Where Diaz landed a few flush punches and Conor was in big trouble and ended up shooting for a take down. I think Floyd is likely to do that to Conor over a longer stretch. Maybe 5th or 6th round. I don't see McGregor lasting the distance.

    Only as long as it takes him to knockout his opponent! :D

    He's conditioned to fight 5 x 5 minute rounds though, ie. 25 minutes ......... so I'm sure he's in good enough shape to fight 12 x 3 minute rounds, ie. 36 minutes.

    When's the last time Mayweather knocked anybody out? When's the last time he even tried to knock out an opponent?!!??!
