Dana White president of UFC announced on 15th june that both the parties have agreed to fight on August 26th, 2017. Following that both Conor Mcgregor and Floyd Mayweather tweeted.
Mayweather is a defensive genius and arguably one of the best boxer of all time with a perfect professional record of 49-0. Even though Conor has a record of 21-3 in Mixed Martial Arts and multiple division champion in UFC, Vegas betting odd are in Mayweather’s favor. Main reason being this will be his debut in professional boxing.
Although boxing purists giving Conor 0% chance to beat Floyd. But here are some numbers that will favour Conor.
| Floyd Mayweather | Attributes | Conor Mcgregor |
|---|---|---|
| 5’8” | Height | 5’9” |
| 72” | Reach | 74” |
| 40 | Age | 28 |
| 49 | Fights | 24 |
| 49 | Won | 21 |
| 0 | Lost | 3 |
| 387 | Rounds | 37 |
| 26 | Knockouts | 18 |
| 53% | Knockout % | 85% |
This event is a double edge sword for boxing, either its lifts boxing or it will put a final nail on the coffin as there no big stars left to bring both eyeballs and money like floyd does. On the other hand both Conor and UFC has nothing to loose, they can just rub off the loss as it was a boxing match.
It will be the biggest fight in combat sports history atleast by number wise and is predicted to beat Floyd vs Manny Pacquiao fight. Floyd vs Pacquiao generated over 4.6 million PPV buys and this fight certainly breaks as this will be the merger of both Boxing fans and MMA fans. Floyd expected to make atlest $100 million and conor to make $70 million (Guaranteed). If Floyd beats Conor he will break Rocky Marciano’s 49-0 and become 50-0.
Key Factors favouring Conor:
- Offensive Fighter
- He is 12 years younger
- He is a bigger guy
- Fight Southpaw and Floyd struggles with southpaw fighters
- Conor has rock solid chin and hits like a truck
- Floyd fought his last fight 2 years ago
- Floyd last knockout was 6 years ago
With Vegas betting books favouring Floyd -1100 over Conor +700, I would certainly bet on Conor. (It's like buying Bitcoin when it was $350 or buying Ethereum when it was $50).
