Mayweather Vs Mcgregor: All You Need To Know by Sportxclusive: 7:39am On Aug 22, 2017

Time is flying and the date is very much around the corner and the waiting is almost over. Mayweather vs McGregor is almost here.

After several weeks and months of negotiating, trash talking, posturing, training and more, we’re less than a week away from the main event itself.

On Saturday the once-retired all-time great boxer Mayweather will take on UFC’s biggest star McGregor in Las Vegas with thousands watching at the T-Mobile arena and millions more watching around the world.

After all the speculation about whether we would have the fight, the last few months have seen much name-calling and animosity on both sides, as the rivalry intensifies ahead of the big day.

What date and time is the fight?

The fight is happening on Saturday 26 August. While the times haven’t been announced, it will certainly be a late night or very early start for viewers in the UK, so expect to be up well into Sunday 27 August, and possibly calling in sick on Monday 28. The main event begins at 4am BST, but the fight itself may start closer to 5am.

Where is the fight taking place?

 The bout will be housed in the T-Mobile arena on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. The venue has held major fights in the past, including UFC 202, in which McGregor beat Nate Diaz on points.

Can I live stream?

Fear not, with the Sky Sports Box Office app you can watch the fights live via your PC/Desktop/MAC, NOW TV box, iPhone, iPad, Android phone or Android tablet.

It’s simple to sign up, pay and watch – create an account and pay at www.skysports.com/boxofficelive.

Virgin TV customers (with a TiVo® or Virgin TV V6 box) can also watch the fight on Sky Sports Box Office. It costs £19.95 for SD and £20.95 for HD.

What are the odds?

Bookies immediately predicted a Mayweather win. William Hill put the veteran fighter at 1/11 favourite. He’s now 2/9 with under a week to go.

Oddsmaker Nick Bogdanovich said the odds would be even more lopsided if it wasn’t for the deluge of small bets expected to come in from UFC fans on their fighter.

Mayweather will be beaten this time, he should have remained retired

Ali was a champ until he was beaten.

McGregor is no boxer even though he's got d stamina.. He's playing by Floyd's rule so I don't see him winning.. McGregor without d use of his elbows and legs stands no chance. The fight was jus made up by punters and industry topshots to advertise UFC and make retirement money for both fighters
