Career Records
Floyd Mayweather Jr.- 49-0, 26 KOs
Conor McGregor- 21-3, 18 KOs
Mayweather is looking to raise his undefeated record to 50-0, beating the all-time mark set by Rocky Marciano at 49-0. While many are predicting Mayweather to stop this fight via knockout due to McGregor's inexperience (this is his first professional boxing bout), Floyd hasn't stopped an opponent since 2011 when he knocked out Victor Ortiz. For McGregor, he does have knockout power, but again, this is his first appearance as a professional in the boxing ring.
Odds
Las Vegas has Mayweather as a heavy favorite, as expected. The most recent odds from Bovada Sportsbook have Mayweather pegged as a -450 favorite to McGregor's +325 underdog. There are plenty of prop bets as well surrounding the fight, some of which are highly entertaining. For example, the question of whether rapper Lil' Wayne, who will be part of Mayweather's entourage walking to the ring, will wear a shirt or not carries odds of -230 for Yes and +160 for No. There's plenty of other fun props like that for you to peruse.
The action begins tomorrow night at 9 p.m. Eastern Time on Showtime PPV.
