would he turn his back on the ufc or not?'t think so because at the end of the day you need a floyd mayweather to make this money and there aren't any other floyd mayweathers in boxing today and floyd will retire. pending some 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

money for the ufc as an organization.icult bind with conor mcgregor, no question about it after this fight. >> do you think conor mcgregor, if he was to win, would turn his back on the ufc even though he said he will do both? what he turn his back on the ufc were not? >> i don't think so. at the end of the day, you need a floyd mayweather to make this kind of money. there are no other floyd mayweathers in boxing today and floyd will retire. pending some kind of rematch, connor will probably end up making the $14 million or $15 million in ufc fights or subsequent boxing events later on. i could see him doing both. but i think this is a long shot. i'm going to be honest with you. he is an amateur boxer going up against one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport. so it would be the jets beating the colts type of upset if it happens. and paulss greenberg sweeney. still with me, bob o'donnell. all i can think about is the last time this happened two years ago, everyone was watching on periscope. that became the big

kids are growing up wanting to be ufc fighters not boxers. the reason this is so much money on the line is because of ufc and mixed marshall arts. it's a world sport. people are shying away from boxing, so i think this highlights the fact that floyd is able to make so much money because of conor. i think it's both. i think you're right and ufc is on the rise and people want boxing to stick around. and then you've got this fight, white guy versus black guy and there's so many things about this fight people do and don't want to talk about making this fight tons of money. >> i think everybody even if you think it's going to be a blowout is going to watch it but congress woman hayworth be honest. >> actually, i will not be watching, no. >> [laughter] so you have no interest. >> but this weigh in thing there isn't a bride in the country who can't relate to what mr. mcgregor is going through right now. 20 pounds the next day. >> maybe you can highlight the politics think about this the uf c could have never gotten a fight in the state of new york,

will he return to ufc? course," he said.stars turning out for the spectaclethis was hardly viewed as a matchup against equals in the boxing ring. sure, mcgregor has held ufc championships in two weight classes. but the sheer thought of mcgregor knocking out the veteran mayweather felt borderline absurd. additionally, the lead-up to the bout had a disturbing dark side.the two fighters embarked on a four-city media tour this summer spanning the united states, canada and england. though there were no physical blows at those, mayweather, who has a record of domestic violence, and mcgregor exchanged verbal jabs full of profanity, racism, homophobia and misogyny.yet, despite the hatred on full display by both men, fans and celebrities expressed interest in this fight. the stars were out in full force saturday at t-mobile arena, including lebron james, mike tyson, jennifer lopez, alex rodriguez, bruce willis, jamie foxx, olivia munn, william h. macy, don cheadle, jeremy piven, nick cannon and ozzy and sharon osbou

what this means for mixed martial arts, ufc and underway.and boxing, we will see. there's a lot at stake for both men and for their respective sports. it is something that will dominate the headlines, lots of people thinking, does it have been sporting legitimacy? is it entertainment? is it a farce, as ricky hatton and others have called it, with chris eubank defending it saying he think it will be a good night. this is the hype free zone, we will have more as fight night approaches. don't do yourself down. thanks forjoining us. full commentary on five live on sunday morning. britain's chris froome extended his lead in the vuelta a espana by one second after day six. poland's tomasz marczynski won the stage with a sprint finish, pipping two other breakaway riders at the last second. froome, meanwhile, is aiming to become just the third man to win the vuelta and the tour de france in the same year. he has an 11—second lead over his closest rival. team sky's geraint thomas will return to cycling for the tour of britain, with team—mate 0wain do

people want to see these matches and they feel it publicises boxing and ufc. than the other. i will talk about the seriousness of the golf in experience. a lot of people think it could be dangerous for conor mcgregor. ufc can be a brutal sport in its own right and he knows the dangers of that. floyd mayweather is an absolute craftsman in boxing, an artist. so people are worried. there is a sobering note in among the hype, it is dangerous. combat sports can be dangerous, but it's what we all want to find out. this time tomorrow we will know who has won. the big question is, in his first pro boxing match, can the mixed martial arts superstar, connor mcgregor beat the greatest boxer of his generation, floyd mayweather? they are both going to earn a fortune in finding out, mayweather will make at least $200 million. mcgregor about half that. the weigh—in, for the junior heavyweight contest, that's an 11 stone limit, was raucous. that was overnight in vegas. thousands of irish fans have travelled to las vegas to get behind their man. mayweather, at a0, is 11 years
