All of the rumors, all of the hints, and all of the trash talk that has been circulating for months has finally come together to create one of the biggest fights in the #History Of Boxing.
It remains a huge question mark how McGregor, a trained mixed fighter, would fair in a boxing match, but it's clear that he's pursued ths fight for a while.
Critics have branded the crossover bout a money-making circus.
"People will think I'm insane and people will go mad about this but, mark my words, Conor McGregor is going to knock Floyd Mayweather out cold. Professional boxing is 20 per cent sport and 80 per cent business and it's a great business move and those who are criticising it like Oscar De La Hoya and others are just jealous because they're not earning that money - and I'm jealous too", said Barnes.
"Both fighters have a similar height and reach, with Mayweather listed at 5'8" with a reach of 72" and McGregor listed at 5'9" with a 74" reach giving "The Notorious" a slight advantage. When you desperately want something, you have to go out of your way to get it.
"So it's part of the fun of this fight, is Conor McGregor, in a 12-round fight, going to be able to touch Floyd Mayweather?".

The department received 280 applications for dispensaries, which are the storefronts where medical marijuana will be sold. A physician registry will go online in July with regulations for patients and caregivers published in September.
Mayweather's 2015 fight against Manny Pacquiao cost between $90 and $100 to watch on pay-per-view and drew an estimated 4.4 million viewers. And I loved the way McGregor persuaded Mayweather for this to happen.
The Irishman is arguably the biggest selling pay per view star in combat sports now, but will be fighting in his first boxing bout against one of the greatest boxer's of all time.
"All sides involved are pretty happy with their deals".
"I think it's a bit unfair because boxing and MMA are two different sports and Conor McGregor, if I'm being blatantly honest, if he lands a glove on Mayweather he'll be doing very well".
"The fact that this kid who has so much to lose is willing to step in and is absolutely confident that he will win this fight, I think is one of the many reasons that people love Conor McGregor".
