    If I was to guess I would say €20 million. Money a UFC fighter can't turn down. It will be Mayweather promotions with haymon and showtime ppv. Mcgregor could sell salt to a slug that's what he does. He is a promotional dream. It all makes financial sense.

    I personally wouldn't pay a penny but most boxing fans pay enough. Put Mayweather in an octagon and their rules I think it trebles but we know that would never happen. Shame.

    Weird one.

    I get it's a huge earner but Mayweather is minted anyway, why have that as the 50-0?

    Nothing more, nothing less

    Fight expected to generate $600million
    Crazy

    I get that, and it makes complete sense from McGregor's point of view, but Mayweather is worth hundreds of millions.

    Easy fight, easy pay day I guess.

    There is that and there have also been rumours that Floyd has pissed away a hell of a lot of money.

    I don't agree with the fight but you have to say McGregor has played an absolute blinder. An amateur boxer signing a multi million dollar deal for your first and most likely only fight. As I said before it's an absolute nonsense but I'll be watching this freakshow.

    I was think more Mayweather anyway Neil. He will get the lions share of the pot. And there's only 1 thing Floyd likes more than making money. Spending money.

    Two blokes who both act like absolute c***s who only are capable of talking about how much money they're earning - bore me later.

    Think people are being a bit boring about it tbh, it doesn't make you some fight expert to say it isn't a fair match up. It will have a good build up and it's pretty obvious Mayweather should win this fight.

    Based on all these posts I want to see every single person who is calling it a farce with a max bet on Mayweather to win, every bookies if you are that sure about it.

    I personally believe McGregor has a chance, minimal but I wouldn't write him off completely in a boxing ring against Mayweather. Mayweather wouldn't last 20 seconds in the octagon on the other hand, so at least McGregor will actually go on Mayweathers terms.

    I am looking forward to it and don't see it as a freakshow at all, hope you cheer up lads

    Imagine the millions of mug punters who will cough up readies to watch a bloke have his first ever professional boxing match - madness.

    Worth remembering that UFC is basically a pay TV and online sport ONLY - and yet its primary competitor has been able to stroll into a $100 million boxing bout.

    and then there are those with sportsmania that won't have to cough up.

    Exactly. If you were one of the best boxers of all time and someone offered you about 300 million to fight a guy who's never had a pro fight before what would you do?

    If Conor wins it would be the biggest upset in the history of boxing. His odds won't be ridiculous due to Paddy's backing their man and bookies covering their risk. You could add another 0 to the odds together a more realistic figure.

    As for boring, some of us are into sport not the circus that Conor brings.

    Just to be a pedant. UFC isn't a sport, it's a promotion and it isn't pay TV only.

    Anyone who pays for this needs their noggin checked out!
    An undefeated ex world boxing champion v a bloke having his first pro fight who has never boxed.
    Who is on the undercard, Barry McGuigan v Giant Haystacks?

    personally would of prefer to of seen connor have another ufc fight, he has done a lot for the sport and i dont blame him for making as much as he can, but this fight is ridiculous.

    This will be Mayweather's first win inside the distance since Ortiz in 2011. Hate to jump on the bandwagon but it's an exhibition, not a competitive fight

    The cynic in me suggests the two of them will have a plan worked out so this fight seems close. McGregor despite what he'll say publicly, will know he has no chance and i don't imagine he'll want the embarrassment of being knocked out in the first round.

    The pre-fight build up and trash talk will definitely be more entertaining than the actual 'fight'

    Anything other than McGregor getting absolutely embarrassed would be a huge shock.
