I’ll take Mayweather by UD.
It’s always possible the much younger McGregor will get lucky but it’s pretty hard to overcome decades of talent and experience in just a few months of training.
Prepare to be disappointed.

Mayweather in the 1st round.
Mayweather easily.
Ha ha ha I don’t know, really, don’t follow boxing. But it seems like a Mt. Everest climb for McGregor....
It’d be funny if Mcgregor accidentally threw a knee or a kick by mistake.
Run away, Run away, my little run away........
Win or lose they're both laughing all the way to the bank.
Mayweather will KO McGregor in the first round. A professional boxer is unbeatable in a ring.
Saw news articles that some million-dollar bets have been placed in the last few days on Mayweather.
Is the fight fixed? Who places bets that size on a fight that isn’t fixed?
Mayweather tko’s Mcgregor in 4.
What are the odds that Mayweather will rope-a-dope his way to a UD? If Tyson was in Mayweather’s weight class and they fought each other in their prime, Tyson would get a 1 RD KO.
Mayweather, 40 years old and 49-0.
MCGregor in 3.
Mayweather is a boxer.
Mcgregor is a fighter.
What a waste of time. This whole fake fight is put on to milk money out of gullible rubes. Hell, both sides probably already agreed on who gets to “win it” and in what round.
It really just goes to show that the boxing game hasn’t put up a good match in ages, so now they’re entering exhibition crap like this to try to salvage some of the pie they’re losing to MMA.
My prediction on McGregor’s strategy: Because of the difficulty of McGregor landing hits on Mayweather, McGregor will try to push Mayweather, and then try to hit him as he is off-balance or falling.
The MMA guys are very good at trying to get their opponents off balance for example with a kick and then use that opportunity to try for a knock-out strike.
Whether McGregor can land hits with this strategy will depend on how the fight is refereed. If it is refereed very strictly, then probably a boring fight with Mayweather dancing around and slipping punches and winning on a decision like so many of his other fights.
If McGregor lands a KO punch after a push that puts Mayweather off balance, and he is not disqualified, Mayweather and the boxing people will scream.
But the controversy would generate huge interest in another lucrative McGregor-Mayweather II.
McGreggor should come out and do a superman or a spinning backfist. Just to set the tone and remain unconventional.
Tough fight for Conor though, if Mayweather doesn’t win it’s probably worked.
