For a long time, there have been countless articles written about Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather. Thousands and thousands of words, maybe even millions of words during the build-up just on this site alone. You’ve heard the opinions and predictions of UFC fighters, boxers, promoters, or talk show hosts. The old cliche is that a picture is worth a thousand words, if that’s true, then that must mean the works of art surrounding May/Mac are worth billions. Either on the internet produced in Photoshop, slathered on a canvas in a studio in Brooklyn, or spray painted on a rolling Irish hillside, artists have created impressive works inspired by this giant fight. Here’s a collection of some of the best or most interesting. Today is the day @FloydMayweather V @TheNotoriousMMA #MayweathervMcgregor @ShowtimeBoxing pic.twitter.com/jtHWnJO0yt

Today is the day. After Conor McGregor boxes Floyd Mayweather, we can put this all behind us. It’s been a wild and crazy ride, but it’s finally coming to an end. That is, unless your name is Paul Malignaggi. He’s trying to get a fight with McGregor by any means necessary. They’ve even almost exchanged blows outside of the gym, when they had an altercation at media day, caused by Malignaggi arguing with McGregor’s manager. That crazy thing is, he’s still working the event on air for Showtime. Even after saying he was a plant from Mayweather to spy on McGregor. What’s even crazier than that? He went after McGregor fans last night. #PaulieMalignaggi goes after #Irish fans who were mocking him at #MayweatherMcGregor weigh-ins pic.twitter.com/gwl6qsjFyP

One of the biggest fights, if not the biggest fight, in combat sports history will take place tomorrow night in Las Vegas when current UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor takes his talents to the squared circle to square off with undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. “Mystic Mac” and “Money” hit the scales earlier this afternoon and their staredown was nothing short of epic.

What many expect to be the richest fight in the history of combat sports is taking place on Saturday night as Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor are set to meet in the boxing ring. The fight for the “Money Belt” will generate millions of dollars from the live event and pay-per-view sales. While Mayweather and McGregor will be makings their millions for their time spent in the boxing ring, ticket brokers who were expecting to make a killing based on the expectations and hype of the event on the secondary ticket sales market are apparently in a deep hole that will surely take some time to get out of.

We all knew Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather was going to be a weird and strange event, but we had no idea it would get to this ridiculous state. If the fight itself wasn’t bizarre enough that its even happening, all of this might result in McGregor fighting Paul Malignaggi all from a sparring session. The Killers are involved, Demi Lovato is singing the National Anthem, will Justin Bieber or Nate Diaz walk out Mayweather? Who knows. What we do know, is that they gimmicked this fight to the extreme. Take this for example: Green and gold popcorn that cost eight bucks. That’s even more than egregious movie theater prices.

This is the song that never ends, Paul Malignaggi just keeps getting worse and worse, my friends. Late last night, it was “revealed” that Malignaggi may have been used by Floyd Mayweather to infiltrate Conor McGregor’s camp. This may have been one of the decisions that backfired against Mayweather, because Malignaggi ended up locked into all of this drama. From what we’ve seen so far, just a few clips and some word of mouth, Malignaggi didn’t do too well in sparring. That infamous knockdown clip (and the brutal straight left before that) sent shockwaves through the internet. Well, the talk continued and never stopped, now there are even more clips that just dropped last night. …They don’t make Malignaggi look any better.

Undefeated boxing legend Floyd “Money” Mayweather (49-0) will return to the squared circle this weekend against current UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor. The McGregor vs Mayweather bout, which takes place August 26 in Las Vegas, could wind up being the biggest fight in combat sports history.

Nate Diaz thinks it’s best for every fighter to not make any hard claims of who will win the mega-million dollar money boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor. Having fought the Irish MMA superstar twice and having one win and one loss on record with “The Notorious,” Diaz knows he is a game opponent. Although Mayweather’s team has hinted at trying to get Nate to walk out with Floyd for the fight on Saturday night, Nate’s roots are in mixed martial arts. However, in speaking on the “Against All Odds with Cousin Sal” podcast, Diaz says he isn’t picking any sides, but there is one player involved that he is not happy with.

If you heard that Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor were fighting for the WBC “Money Belt” a month ago, you probably would have thought it was a joke. However, on Tuesday during the last press conference held for the mega-million dollar boxing match, WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman showcased the diamond and jewel encrusted belt to be given to the winner on Saturday night. “The perfect title for this is a ‘money belt,’” Sulaiman told MMA Fighting. “We’re just proud to have a little bit of history for this event.”
