Thought I heard boxing was waning in popularity. Guess not.

Floyd Mayweather is expecting to make more than $300 MILLION from his fight with Conor McGregor ... which would break down to more than $8 MILLION per minute in the ring.

The boxer spelled it all out for Showtime's "All Access: Mayweather v. McGregor" -- explaining why no other professional athlete in the world is more bankable.

"I mean, am I the highest-paid athlete out there? And just coming back? We not talking about no contract. We not talking about no contract for no 4 years, or no contract for no 5 years. I can do it in 36 minutes. $300 (million) or better. In 36 minutes."

It's not a real fight, it's just an advertising adventure. It might as well be fake-wrestling at this point.

If it was a real fight, McGregor would kick his ass. Instead it's a technical fight, where Mayweather dances around, runs away, and scores points.

I would gladly pay $100 to see Connor go in there and dance for the 1st round then come into the second round and head kick the shit out of him.

If they were fighting with UFC rules, it would be epic.

Who cares about the UFC rules, I wanna see a head kick anyways lol

If Connor is losing the fight on the cards he should just go ahead and do it! Everyone would love to see Mayweather catch a shin across his temples and Connor could just say "oops, I forgot I couldn't do that. Sorry chump."

I'm okay with that.

Floyd will win due to points. His fights are boring as hell, but if Connor connects with one on the chin he could go night night

Connor needs to take the shots, and beat the living shit out of him. He can't win on points, so he needs KO.

This is stupid. P.T Barnum is smiling in his grave.

I WISH!!!

I would love it!

I think I heard someone hint somewhere that if Mayweather was smart, it would be in the contract that any head kick or takedown, and Connor loses his purse....

Makes sense, but I would love it.

They won't be getting a dime of mine, though.

I fondly recall (and would rather watch) Fridge Perry boxing Manute Bol.

Pretty sure that was addressed in the contract.

I have no clue who either of these chumps are, but I can assure you that NONE of their wealth will ever come from me.

Pro sports is one of those things that makes our country show how stupid its people are.
