    Mayweather breaks him down and beats him up. It won't even be remotely close.

    I'm not sure who I want to win tbh. They both come across as complete tools when they constantly brag about who has the most money, nicest suits or the most expensive car collection.

    I can't help but think it's a big sham.

    The press conferences have been entertaining though.

    Think mayweather will win convincingly but if mcgregor catches him with a good left then its game over.

    He's been caught before by guys like Pacquiao, who's an all time great offensive fighter, and Mosley who managed to stop the human brick wall that is Antonio Margarito. I don't believe McGregor hits as hard as either by some distance so while he can be caught he's got an excellent chin and I don't believe Conor has the power to one punch KO him.

    I want McGregor to win but suspect Mayweather will knock him out.

    Think they'll dance around the ring slapping each others hands then pick up a massive cheque at the end

    Mayweather comfortably regardless

    I was under the impression McGregor was a great bit bigger than Mayweather but seeing them square off there isn't as much difference as I thought.

    Mayweather will knock him into next week,unless Conor forgets where he is and boots him in the baws.

    I do expect Mayweather to win, how can he not when it's his ring, his rules, his playground.

    Like how he's tried to feed McGregor's ego though claiming that this training has been hard and he can't push his body like could even two years ago.

    I'd like McGregor to win just for the giggles and shock factor but it won't happen

    It'll be an anti-climax so suck in all the theatre that's happening just now. These are the banter weeks.

    Mayweather wins in boxing matches, it's a boxing match.

    I'd like McGregor to win as it would be astonishing to see and one of the biggest sporting achievements of all time but there should be absolutley no chance of it.

    Don't like either of them. Hope it's a double KO

    I've got a funny feeling both will hit the canvas at some point..

    Hopefully McGregor can really land one on him and rock him. It's what we were all wanting during the Manny 5 year's too late match up..

    I think only way that happens is if Floyd has an injury during the fight like Haye did against Bellew but it could happen as Floyd has had injuries with his hands and is older now so if he did get a serious injury during the fight it could make the fight very interesting.
