McGregor keeps talking about knocking Mayweather out - we all see that as an unlikely scenario and also McGregor's only hope - but imagine how much of an upset (and payout *cha-ching*)} it would be if McGregor wins by decision
Now imagine Mayweather wins by decision - or even by KO - the whole world goes "Well, this is exactly how I expected this to go"
So the only way this is an event that lives up to it's hype is if Mayweather loses. That's the entire sell of the event and it will be a disappointment if he doesn't. Globally speaking.
As for me, I admire Mayweather. I view his generalship in the ring as one of the greatest examples of mastery that any human has had in their chosen profession, perhaps ever
but can it really be this easy? The simplicity of this match-up is making me question reality. Nothing should be this easy to call. I have a feeling the universe is going to do some balancing out here
There will be some talk to go around if Mayweather loses . . . this would open up the door for McGregor-Pacquiao

2018 - Pacquiao comes back for one more fight ... against McGregor
I think McGregor has a shot against Pacquiao - especially with more training to come.
But there's a lot of people that will end McGregor's boxing credibility, if he beats Mayweather he would have to avoid these people
