black vs. white. nigger vs. redneck. boxing vs. mma.
while i don't doubt mcgregor will put up a great fight against mayweather, the rules of this engagement will favor mayweather. while mcgregor is trained, conditioned, and extremely skillful and experienced with several 5 rounds of mma championship fights, this match uses professional boxing rules and mayweather will last the distance as that's his forte.

LAS VEGAS – Ever since the big fight was signed, there has been speculation that if UFC champion Conor McGregor is struggling against boxing star Floyd Mayweather, McGregor might revert to his mixed martial arts roots and wrestle Mayweather to the ground, throw an elbow or even deliver a kick.
It would result in an automatic disqualification in the fight that takes place Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena, but offer some measure of violent satisfaction. The possibility is enough that some sport books, such as the South Point Casino, are offering a “Will McGregor be disqualified during the fight” prop bet. Yes pays +600, no is -900.
“Bet that he won’t,” UFC president Dana White said.
Start with this: White said the contract between the two fighters contains a clause that penalizes McGregor should he get disqualified for using a mixed martial arts move. White is privy to the details of the deal and McGregor’s thinking.
“There is a huge penalty clause in the contract,” White told Yahoo Sports on Thursday.
And that’s just the start of it. McGregor would immediately put at risk a portion of his share of the fight, and potentially the entire thing. McGregor is expected to earn tens of millions of dollars from what many believe will be richest prizefight in combat sport history. Under Nevada Athletic Commission rule 467.147, up to McGregor’s entire share of the purse could be immediately withheld until a final penalty, which could include the entire amount, is determined.
“The athletic commission would keep the entire purse and decide what to do,” White said.
And finally, McGregor would open himself up to civil litigation.
“The civil lawsuit that Floyd Mayweather would have on Conor McGregor would ruin him,” White said.
Mayweather would be able seek damages for breaking the rules of boxing and potentially claim, depending on the injury, that he can’t fight again. As such, he could seek lost revenue from fights that never occurred. That could be $50-150 million per fight.
