The only time in recent memory that Mayweather has struggled is against the unorthodox Maidana, not saying that will be the case but it's something to consider. Also McGregor is the bigger man physically.
It's because boxing is a dying corrupt sport. MMA is destroying it world wide in popularity and participation numbers.
what? please give me some stats on this statement.
Money generated, bums on seats and PPV sales ect
Although MMA only emerged in the 1990s, its growth has been, quite simply, phenomenal; it is currently one of the fastest growing sports in the world. According to a recent report, MMA is second only to adventure racing when it comes to growing participation, recording a 19.5% increase since 2013.

Think about it, women in boxing is a non entity. Women in MMA is a marketable product.
Since 2013 MMA has had 8 PPV draws over 1 million, Boxing only 4.
Over their last 5 fights:
Mayweather PPV buys 3.44 million
McGregor PPV buys 5.2 million
Mayweather attendance 52,000
McGregor attendance 62,000
So McGregor has brought in close to 2 million more PPV buys than Mayweather has.
1/5 is buying money.Is Mayweather at 1/5 good for a massive bet or am I just being a dick again
