Fighting fans out there (myself included) have been waiting in anticipation of what has now become the most anticipated fight of all time, and lets face it, the most potentially lucrative one as well.. I'm talking about the Mayweather versus McGregor fight, not only because Mayweather is a retired pound for pound champion with an outstanding record of 49 wins and no losses as a professional boxer, but also because it is the ultimate crossover fight. Conor McGregor is a hard hitting Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) who has 21 wins and 3 losses, with 18 of his wins being Knock outs and that is a very lethal record of statistics which makes the fight a very interesting fight because even though Mayweather is the boxing champion with which format the match up is set for, it is wise not rule out McGregor. An MMA fighter going against a boxer is something most people imagine watching, with curiosity as to what the outcome would be. This fight is not only reinventing sport but a fulfillment of a sporting fantasy and no wonder why its set to become the most lucrative with both fighters reportedly demanding a guaranteed $100 million for the fight and that is a lot of money. It'll be interesting to see if these amounts are actually going to pass. after a series of public bickering verbal lashes at each other every chance the fighters got for the past year since the rumours of the fight started the President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Dana White has finally hinted the fight might just be happening anytime soon we all have hope the ultimate bout may just happen in June July..
