How and where to watch the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight in Thailand

 

 

Dubbed the ‘Billion Dollar Fight’, it has been billed by some as the biggest event in the history of sport.

 

This Sunday [Thailand time] boxing world champion Floyd Mayweather takes on UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor.

 

The fight, which has divided opinion in the world of combat sports, takes place in the fight capital of the world - Las Vegas, Nevada, with many millions more watching all over the world.

 

McGregor goes into the fight having never officially set foot inside a professional boxing ring, where as Mayweather will be fighting for the first time in two years and having retired with the record of 49-0.

 

Depending on your point of view, the fight will be the most important boxing match probably of all time, or nothing but than a money making abomination, with both men set to cash in regardless of who wins. Either way, it will be well worth watching. 

 

Here is all you need to know about Mayweather vs. McGregor, including the start time in Thailand, how you can watch it and details of venues showing it throughout the country.

If the Mohammad Ali versus Anoki is the measurement yardstick whereby combatants from different fighting styles generated much interest and money, this fight will be no different. It will likely be Mayweather dancing around and avoid getting hit and a fast tiring Mcgregor couldn't last the rounds. All at the expense of the paying audience. Mcgregor need not enter the octagon for rest of his life.

Will it live up to all the hype ?, don't think so," biggest event in the history of sport." i don't think so.

[lovelomsak]

The more I think about it the more I think Mayweather will dance around the ring and Conor will chase him. Conor runs guys down good so Conor may get him. Conors left hook is great . Means Mayweather cannot go left to much. And moving right to much Conor will tag him also.Conor keeps his head up and keeps coming. I feel now Conor will win it .

Personally I could care less. Two animals in a ring with no respect and no intention other than killing the opponent. 

Thai kickboxing seems to be far more respectable

[tryasimight]

If Mcgregor is made to stand and fight like a boxer and not hit the floor and use his legs....I expect Mayweather will punch him senseless.

Is he? I thought it was $100m and Conor was getting $80m.

Mayweather will make around $350 million with his promotions and expected PPV numbers.  McGregor will clear 100 million from the same and that doesn't include 50 million that the UFC takes since he's actually under contract with them. 

 

Anyway, I've been rooting for Mayweather to LOSE for the past 10 years or so, probably like a lot of people.  It hasn't happened yet and this is the last chance so I can't miss it, even if it's a long shot.

Haha. Same. I lost £300 when Mayweather beat Ricky Hatton.

But even before this fight I was a big Conor fan for UFC for the last few years so if he's the one to avenge me then it will be perfect! [emoji3]

[Jimbo in Thailand]

This fight will be interesting, but not spectacular, as Connor McGregor has little chance of defeating Mayweather in a traditional boxing match since McGregor has zero experience in that arena, and only younger age on his side.  I admit I don't like Mayweather but wonder if the world is really ready if Mister-self-worship-himself, .ie., Connor McGregor, actually wins.  In fact, it seems like a lose lose situation for we MMA/UFC fans no matter who wins.  This contest would be much more interesting if champion and 'master' Mayweather was forced to fight younger 'grasshopper' McGregor in the octagon, under MMA/UFC rules.  Oh well... it won't be long now before we know the outcome.

If you gave Conor one more weapon, ie elbows or kicks or even ground and pound rules then Floyd wouldn't last 30 seconds in a fight with Conor. Everyone knows that.

But Conor is win win here. Worst case scenario he loses the fight, gets $80m and either returns to the octagon as one of the best fighters now he's had elite boxing training or he fights another boxer like Paulie and makes a ton more cash.

I don't really see what the UFC has to lose here as now they've just branched one of their fighters into another sport and they will get a lot of new viewers watching them seeing as boxing is one of the most boring sports and MMA is one of the most exciting.

The only person who has anything to lose here is Mr 49-0.

He did. He got choked out by a Gracie trained BJJ fighter a weight class above what he was previously fighting at after beating the hell out of him for the whole fight with the stand up then trying to wrestle him.

 

He then also beat Diaz in their 5x 5min round rematch which was kept on their feet the entire fight.
