floyd is as he has been in the past. floyd is a clever guy. the fights that he picks.e went on the offence. he has not stopped anybody since ricky hatton and that is all you need to know. if he was fighting somebody like terrence broadfoot, it would have been a different fight entirely. you cannot see how great floyd mayweather was from beating conor mcgregor. conor mcgregor was fantastic in terms of his ability as a boxer but let's not turn it into something it is not. and good luck to them making the money. they are old enough to spend their money. that is entirely up to them. a lot of people are happy with what they have seen. the clever people will have seen. the clever people will have listened to it for free on bbc five live! what have they bought it for? they shouldn't be wasting the public‘s money on that. it isn't a boxing match. you are kidding me! you don't think there was massive interest in this match so that people who cannot afford to pay per view wouldn't have access to read otherwise? i don't agree with that. 0ur otherwise? i don't agree with that. our

all of the judges giving 10s to floyd mayweather. that is what thejudges 10s to floyd mayweather. have always been ahead on points until the 10th round. of course, none of us are experts, even though that is how we saw it. mcgregor was coming forward a bit, mayweather had never seen him box like that before, didn't know what to expect. and on orthodox stance. taking out his weapons at the kick. he didn't know what to do, but at the same time, he had some speed at the start. it through mayweather until he could come through and show the defence that is ultimately his strong point. england's women were beaten by new zealand in the final of the rugby world cup. england — who were the title holders — lost 41 points to 32 in belfast. katie gornall reports. it was a contest that will go down asa it was a contest that will go down as a classic, although that won't stand the tears. it was the fourth time england have lost a world cup far north to new zealand. we put a huge amount of pressure on ourselves, expectation and that. we pulled up short today and it will be ha rd to pulled up sho

floyd mayweather was without support. put your money where your mouth is.d all guns blazing. but then his first professional boxing contest, the pace and skills of floyd mayweather tired out the irishman. by the ninth round, mcgregor‘s legs were wobbling. the next round saw the end ofa wobbling. the next round saw the end of a fight that has interlinked daily—macro intrigued and the pulsed in equal measure because of the amount of money involved. some people believed it would be a farce, but it was far from it. but the controversies remain about a fight that was unapologetically put on for the money. it was a great learning experience. i am very happy. of course i would love to have one. great showman delivered entertainment, but with the cheques cashed and the hype at an end, the circus has now left town. liverpool beat arsenal 4—0 to condemn arsenal to a second straight premier league defeat in the season. mane scored the pick of the goals that puts them second in the table. chelsea beat everton 2—0 and burnley grabbed a late goal to draw with totte n ha

floyd mayweather is a master at this.air of gloves. he has taken months to prepare for it. so he is basically the best pound for pound fighter of this era. should he even be in the ring with floyd mayweather? not really. why is he in the ring with him? he is great at putting himself there. everyone knows what this fight is about, it is about money. it is not about who was going to win and who is going to lose. floyd mayweather has everything to lose. everything that he has done could go down the drain. he has beat hall of famers pack a punch, guys that are bigger, stronger. there has been a big shock on the second day of the world badminton championships. three—time olympic silver—medallist lee chong wei is out after losing his opening match. the malaysian had been amongst the favourites to take the men's singles title in glasgow this week. nick hope is following the action for us. lee chong wei was hoping glasgow 2017 would finally be the tournament where he got a major gold medal. he got silver three times in his career

around £175 million, that's how much floyd mayweather will take home.s vegas on saturday night, or rather the early hours of sunday morning here. richard conway is there for us. 0n face value, it is an unlikely match up. floyd mayweather, one of boxing's all—time greats will, this weekend, step into the ring with conor mcgregor, the 29—year—old dubliner who has never boxed professionally. most experts give him little chance of victory. but then this is las vegas, where the bright lights act as a beacon for those hungry to make their fame and fortune. exact figures are hard to pin down, but both men are expected to earn tens of millions of dollars in the most lucrative boxing match ever staged. what will be the impact for boxing if you were to win? there'll be a new king and that's it. there'll be a new king. they'll begin to study my methods. they'll begin to implement my methods and that's it. i will reign supreme. mcgregor, ornately tattooed and nicknamed ‘the notorious‘ is already a star of the ultimate fighting championship, in which competitors use

floyd mayweather had support as well. 49 try and 49 fail. put your money where your mouth is.hing mayweather with powerful shots. the irishman. by the ninth round, mcgregor was in trouble, his energy sapped, he was clinging to the ropes for survival. the end soon followed for survival. the end soon followed for a fight that had in trade and repulsed many given the language and behaviour of both men in the build—up. behaviour of both men in the build-up. after 21 years in the sport of boxing, i had some great fights and some boring fights but at the end of the day, i will always be remembered asa the end of the day, i will always be remembered as a winner. somehow believe that this fight would be a forest but in the end it was far from it, but the controversies remain, so to the deep unease about a fight that was unapologetically put on, primarily for the money. a fight that was unapologetically put on, primarily for the moneym was an enjoyable experience and a great learning experience. i am happy with it. i would love the win. to sports great showman delivered entertainment,

how long would floyd last -- >> 30 seconds. jimmy: but don't you feel like it's almost the same thing? >> the thing is that throwing punches is a part of what we do in the ufc and conor mcgregor can throw some punches. that kid hits hard. the confidence this guy has in himself is unb i haven't seen anything like this since ali. >> jimmy: he does. >> it's incredible. and he wants this fight. he believes in himself. and he's my guy. >> jimmy: let me tell you something. my buddy adam carolla has a great idea i think. so i was -- adam and i were talking about this fight, and we were -- he likes to box. in fact, we met that way. and he thinks it would be great if the first six rounds were boxing and if conor can make it past the sixth round the last six rounds become mixed martial arts. should have brought him to the negotiation with me. >> jimmy: ay -- >> they would never do it. they would never do it. listen, floyd was talking during the world tour that we just did, i'll do it in the octagon. i don't remember that in the negotiati

i'm not the same fighter when i was put to the macro pretty boy floyd or 21 years ago.onger than me mentally. 0ur sports news correspondent richard conway is in las vegas for us — richard nearly time for the weigh in, what can we expect as they face off for the final time before the fight? it's been chaotic. there has been a change of time before the final press conference. there was none of the histrionics or theatrics, there was a more businesslike encounter. they came the leave face to face. now angry clashes. they don't want to expend any energy, they are focused on the task at hand. 0ne any energy, they are focused on the task at hand. one way or another, one will walk away with a bruised ego on saturday night, sunday morning uk time. but the way in ta kes pla ce morning uk time. but the way in takes place in a few hours' time, and there's a big line of fans queueing to get into the arena, a short distance from here. that's the anticipation that is building in las vegas for this fight. all the talking is now done, people want to see these men in the ring. thousands

has floyd mayweather still got it? he is a lot older.younger than you. the thing around this fight, even if you ta ke thing around this fight, even if you take it has a bit of a pantomime or whatever, there is still a big question. before we get into it, everyone is underestimating the irish spirit. they have amazing spirit in warfare. i felt it. i believe with you. they have weighed in overnight for the fight that everyone is talking about, and most of the talk has been about whether the mixed martial arts superstar connor mcgregor can actually beat the greatest boxer of his generation, floyd mayweather. the purse is eye—watering, with the final paycheck to be determined by pay—per view sales. that is expected to break all records. after a relatively low key build—up in las vegas, the weigh—in, for the junior heavyweight contest, was raucous. thousands of irish fans have travelled to get behind their man. mayweather at 40 is 11 years older and has come out of retirement and mcgregor has vowed to knock him out. that's the worst shape i'v

we are just hours away from the multi—million fight between floyd —— floyd mayweather and colin mcgregorunting down to one of the richest fights in boxing history. conor mcgregor set to earn $70 million and floyd mayweather set to earn over $100 million. the build—up has been going on and some criticise it as has been going on and some criticise itasa has been going on and some criticise it as a circus because of conor mcgregor‘s lack of boxing experience. that has not stopped bets going in on him. and all to make here has said the big money has gone on floyd mayweather, £1.3 million has been bets on the american. if mcgregor wins, will it be the biggest upset in sports history? we will find out. now to the english premier league where manchester united have managed to keep a 100% start to their season. that's after a 2—0 win over leicester at old trafford. goals from marcus rashford and marouane fellaini kept the run going forjose mourinho's men. i'm very happy. our performance was very solid and the fact that we lost a penalty at 0—0 and we kept playing at the same level of quality mak

there aren't any other floyd mayweathers in boxing today and floyd will retire.e kind of a rematch to create this kind of money again conor will probably make that $14 million or $15 million in ufc fights or in subsequent oxing events later on. i can see him doing both but think it's a long shot. i'll be honest but, he's an amateur boxer going up against one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport. it will be jets beating the colts type of upset if it happens. i was looking at a film option and see wells fargo says this weekend box office because of the fight could be the worst in 20 years. >> this is obviously the center of attention here and i think it's great for pay-per-view and sports and think for the companies involved there will be a lot of winners here. i think the issue for the box office is it's been a bad box office for the whole summer, quite frankly, shaping up to be a disappointing year for the box office but i think everybody is looking forward to the holidays to see if that can save the box office for the hollywood folks. vonnie: conor

floyd mayweather was not without support either. 49 try and 49 fail, it will be 50 tonight.e bell rang for the first round, mcgregor was all guns blazing, catchy of powerful shots but in his first professional boxing contest, the pace and skills of mayweather ground him down and he visibly tired. by the ninth round, mcgregor's legs began to wobble, clinging to his opponent and robes for survival. the next round saw the end ofa for survival. the next round saw the end of a fight that had intrigued and repulsed in equal measure. with all its controversies and the amount of money involved, some had believed this fight would be a fast but in the end it was far from it. the controversies remain, deeper unease about the fight that was put on primarily for the a am very it was a very enjoyable experience and a great learning experience. very enjoyable experience and a great learning experiencelj very enjoyable experience and a great learning experience. i am very atan end, great learning experience. i am very at an end, the circus has now left two of sports greatest showman, delive

floyd mayweather was not without support as well. 49, it is going to be 50 tonight.when the bell rang for the first round, it was mcgregor who came with all guns blazing. the irish man had claimed that he was ready to shock the world. an upset looked possible but the speed and skill rounded the irishman darren. mcgregor was in deep trouble. he was reduced to clinging to the ropes for survival. the end soon followed for a fight that has intrigued but repulsed many, given the language and behaviour of the men in the build—up. and behaviour of the men in the build-up. after 21 years in boxing, i have had some great fights and boring fights. at the end of the day, i will always be read and it as a winner. some believed it would be a winner. some believed it would be a farce but it was far from it. the controversies remain. so is the deep unease that was unapologetically put on primarily for the money. it was a very enjoyable experience and a great learning experience. very enjoyable experience and a great learning experiencelj very enjoyable experience and a great learni

at the age of a0 and undefeated, floyd money mayweather wants to exit with one final mega pay day.r than me, mentally. the usual hype and hoopla in the build—up to the first bell has, however, crossed several lines. last month's publicity tour was tarnished by homophobic slurs, allegations of racism and pantomime behaviour, with both men now admitting they made mistakes. such behaviour, though, has not prevented thousands of fans from flocking to las vegas, or millions around the world are purchasing the fight to watch on tv. conor mcgregor may never have fought professionally, but he's being greeted here as if he was the champion. floyd mayweather, in this his home town, is being seen as very much the outsider and mcgregor is the man that the crowd here want to see win. but one former champion, who has fought and lost to mayweather, has concerns. i think genuine boxing fans and ufc fans probably feel a little bit like i'm feeling, that it's a little bit — it's making a little bit of a farce of our sports. what happens in vegas, should, according to the old saying, stay here. not w
