I suppose it's good that after all the postulating it's actually happening, rather than it being one big PR stunt.
Of course now it's happening it will be one big PR stunt.
As a contest Mayweather will be too hard to beat, but his style is defensive so I expect McGregor to be coming after him, but ultimately the gap between them will be massive.
Really it's an exhibition match, rather than a serious boxing match IMO.
Conor will almost certainly lose the match, but so long as he doesn't get KO'd in the first round or so (unlikely from Mayweather) he can claim a "moral" victory for hanging with the a great boxer for however long he lasts.
If this was an MMA match it'd be equally mismatched (if that makes sense) Mac would win quickly and easily- smaller gloves allow his accuracy and power to shine through and also let him exploit smaller gaps in his opponents defence... and that's without even mentioning his kicking game.
The match for the boxing purists is a few weeks later when Triple G fights Canelo Alvarez- that could be one of the best fights ever.
It's equivalent to saying who would win a race between Mo Farah and Usain Bolt. It depends on if it's a sprint or a 10k and tells you nothing about either person.
It shouldn't count as Mayweather's 50th win, but as a silly spectacle it'll be a laugh.
I won't bother staying up till 4am, we all know the result already.
It was the only move the UFC could make otherwise it would be a poor year for them events wise. No Ronda, will Jon Jones actually fight? plus no scheduled Conor UFC fight. This allows them to bring boxing fans over to MMA and I'm sure Conor will fight pretty quickly after (unless he wins) and make loads of money for everyone involved.
In reality what was Conor gonna do? Fight Holloway? Fight Tony Ferguson? Nate Rematch? They all dwarf (except for the actual fight) compared to Mayweather.

Noise, randomness, ballistic uncertainty.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
