If Floyd were a man of questionable scruples, it would be tempting to throw the fight, thus setting up a lucrative re-match. After all, this will otherwise be his last big payday.

But, no, I don't give McGregor much chance if Mayweather gives full effort. I know nothing about boxing, but this seems like a competition between a minor leaguer and a major league all-star. Yes, Mayweather is not in his prime, but that doesn't seem like enough to tip the scales toward McGregor.
