satchMcGregor/Mayweather
Big deal? Haven't watch boxing since the Friday Nite fights on the small B&W tube in the early 50's. Those guys back then would beat the crap out of the ones today.

justjoeCM is a superb MMA fighter, and if Floyd stepped into the octagon, Colin would take him apart in the first round-- as he said. No doubt. If you don't like FM, it would be beautiful to behold.
But CM is stepping into FM's world. For his first boxing match-- as opposed to 49. The only reason it's happening is $$$. Otherwise, there is no way to justify the match.
Mayweather is a lout, and I'd love to see him get his ass handed to him. Of course, it could possibly happen--McGregor can hit-- but it's very unlikely. I think McGregor will be chasing him around, and taking a good peppering of fast combinations. Mayweather will clinch rather than go toe-to-toe. And he will take a decision.
But-- who knows? I'd really really love to be wrong.

Hmm. Nothing on his Instagram. A quick Google shows the opposite, a story about some comment Floyd Sr. (junior's trainer and dad) supposedly said in a FOX interview about Floyd's hand(s). I've not chased down the validity of this source, but here it is:

My buddy sent me the same message with a link. I opened the link and it was a picture of a large naked man. It is a joke. They just had the weigh in live and he was fine.

I never consider a large naked man a joke. Sounds terrifying.

Hmm...I'll have to recheck. I got the same link and thought it was a picture of me in the dark looking at a mirror.
Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.
Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard.

TMatsWhoop whoop
I don't care who you
think will win, or
want to win. If you are into combat sports this is one of the most memorable nights in a long time--I think bigger than Maywether/Pacquiao--precisely because of the blending of boxing and MMA.
The closer it comes to fight time, the more excited I am to see it.

Any truth?
