Breakdown
Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor
Floyd Mayweather is the early betting favorite, and rightly so. He's never lost a professional bout, has nearly all the advantages heading into this fight, knows more angles in the ring than McGregor will, and his head movement and countering is like no other.
Conor McGregor, a two-division MMA champion who’s never boxed professionally is a phenomenon in the Octagon, but If it comes down to boxing skill alone, not so much. Despite there being a decent chance of McGregor landing a clean shot and KO’ing Mayweather, I just do not think that is the most reasonable outcome. The problem for McGregor, though, is if he doesn't hit the target early, he almost certainly won't hit it late. I think Floyd’s defensive and counter abilities will be too much for McGregor, gassing the Irishman out and dragging the fight into its deepest waters.
The hype may prove to be bigger than the actual fighting. Still, they have to fight. Technically, anything is possible in any type of fight.

Outcome:
Floyd Mayweather defeats Conor McGregor via TKO at 1:05 of round 10.
There was so much hype and anticipation for this fight. As predicted, McGregor got crushed. Floyd let him tire himself out as Conor does every fight, then finished him. I do thank his fans for making Floyd money line playable though. Couldn’t have done it without them.
Win
Floyd Mayweather. (-330)
