Oh, brother. Is this boxing or an MMA match? If it’s boxing, McGregor is going to get embarrassed, if not killed. I wouldn’t watch this farce for free.

McGregor literally has ancestral lineage from Celtic warriors. This man is indeed, a warrior.

McGregor has been hit harder in MMA matches than Maywesther could possibly hit him.

If it is a boxing match, it will be another very boring but easy win for Mayweather, who dodge McGregor's punches all night. Not worth paying to see.

It would be an interesting MMA fight. But, McGregor would win that so quickly, it wouldn't be worth paying for, either.

This doesn’t seem to be confirmed. Other sources say there is no deal yet.

Here’s McGregor doing an impersonation of a punching bag while getting his butt kicked by the infamous Nate Diaz (he’s got 2 chances in a boxing match vs Mayweather. Slim and none):

how much is the actual supposed deal for for each fighter? I’ve only seen a couple of conner fights- maybe 3 total- he didn’t seem like a very good boxer to me- and how does his punching strength measure up with the other fella’s?

that was one of the few fights i saw him in- I wasn’t overly impressed with him in that fight- He got beat up pretty bad in that fight-

I hope the UFC doesn’t become a gimmicky venue-

Do NOT doubt the heart of an Irishman, who’s talent has been under appreciated time and time again.

My prediction?

McGregor in 3 rounds.

The man is fearless and dedicated.

In the rematch he made Daiz look stupid.

He lost his first match with Diaz because he allowed the Glitz, Glamor, & Stardom to blind him.

For the Mayweather fight he will be ready and deadlier than a cobra.

Do not doubt him.

He reminds me of Cassius Clay who many thought was out of his league when he destroyed Sonny Liston in 1964. I was 8, and to this day I remember my older brother telling me that everyone said Sonny would make a fool out of him, because the experts had Liston at 7-1 odds.

One place in the article says “BILLION” ... the other part of the article says “MULTI-MILLION”.

The’s a BIG difference!

Well, then, why even comment on it?
