The Money Fight - To raise up to £500m

The 12 rounds fight of the history tagged "The Money Fight" is a day away. The fight between unbeaten five division boxing champion Floyd Mayweather and UFC legend Conor Mcgregor is slated for Saturday the 26th of August, 2017 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, according to promoters the fight may likely start at 5:30am on Sunday morning.

Well, tickets for the fight are still on sale but very expensive. Prices available are from  £390  to  £1,200, £2,000, £2,800, £4,000 and £5,900. I guess the more expensive
seats are the ones in front with full view where you you smell the sweat from the fighters and have blood splattered on you, if you enjoy such things.

Showtime will surely stream the fight live on pay-per-view in the United States, while Sky Sports will show the fight in the UK - at a cost of £19.95. 

The mega-fight could generate revenue up to £500million. UFC head, Dana White expects McGregor to earn around £100m. Mayweather is thought to have negotiated a bigger slice of the profits. The fight is expected to break all television box office records. 


Fighters records                    Fights                  Wins             KO’s               Defeats
Mcgregor                                25                         22                 18                     3

Mayweather                           49                         49                 26                     0

Although both fighters have not been in a fight for a while. Mayweather returning from retirement and Mcgregor taking sometime off.

With these records who do you think will win?
