Most expensive boxing fight in history

in #sport7 years ago

Conor McGregor, the UFC champion, will face boxing with undefeated Floyd Mayweather.

If the American beat the Irish it would be a 50th career victory. Thus he beats the record of the legendary Rocky Marciano, who ended his professional career with 49 wounds fought.

The duel will take place at a distance of twelve rounds, with a weight limit of 154 lbs (69.85 kg). Both athletes will also be tested by the US Antimatter Agency.

There is a reason to beat. Mayweather will collect about $ 100 000 000, and Conor over $ 75 000 000.

For McGregor, this will be a boxing debut. Until now he was only associated with MMA. Recognized as the best UFC player without division into the category.

The fight between the two men is a source of controversy. Especially among the boxers.

"McGregor is a mega popular mixed martial artist, but Mayweateher was the number one boxer, but now he's retired," said Oleksandr Usyk, World WBO heavyweight champion.

- This kind of kicking is an insult to the sport. I do not see any chance of winning the Irish, Floyd will make him laugh. On the other hand, both of them will earn a lot of money. This will be just a big show - added the Ukrainian.

His opinion is confirmed by bookmakers who do not give McGregor any chances.
