The bout, set to be held at the 20,000-capacity T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas features Mayweather, one of the best in history looking to make his professional record 50-0 taking on McGregor, who has won multiple UFC belts, but never set foot professionally in a boxing ring.
The trash talking has been something to watch on the press tour during the build-up to the fight, with both dropping insults left, right and centre.
McGregor has promised he will knock out Mayweather inside four rounds while also going after Mayweather’s fashion and money. Mayweather, meanwhile said the only thing God made perfect was his boxing record and has regularly said he is better than McGregor during the press tour.
Of course, there has been plenty of schoolyard name-calling as well.
