  • In March 2017, Floyd Mayweather Jr., a professional boxer with a 49-0 record announced that he would come out of retirement to fight the mixed martial artist and reigning UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor.

    Ireland's McGregor had always insulted Mayweather, challenging him for a boxing match from time to time.

    It was finally decided that the two would fight on 26th August 2017.

  • Despite the fight being a massive mismatch, the global fascination might make it the richest in boxing history.

    It has been sold as 'historical', a bout that will be remembered for years to come.

    The promotion seems to have worked since as a crowd of 20,000 is expected to fill the T-Mobile Arena, with millions more around the globe watching on pay-per-view basis.

    What is at stake?
  • No titles are on the line with the winner getting just a gaudy "Money Belt" but a lot is at stake.

    For Mayweather, it is a chance to surpass Rocky Marciano's 49-0 career record before going out.

    On the other hand, for McGregor, a win would make him the greatest crossover star and give him the greatest upset in history of combat sports.
