The Irishman said that he plans to stomp his foot in the middle of the ring and not go anywhere during the fight.

Leonard believes Mayweather is taking this fight very seriously despite tales of late-night forays to his Vegas strip club, even during this fight week. Many people think that Mayweather’s style can be tiresome to watch and that he should attack other fighters more rather than just avoiding them. They’ve got a vested interest in such a high-dollar bout.
Things escalated a few months later when Mayweather posted the video of McGregor tapping out against Nate Diaz at UFC 196, one of the UFC star’s three career losses, on his Instagram.
“That’s the worst shape I’ve ever seen him”, McGregor said.
“He’s like listen, it’s a big fight, I know it’s your birthday, but I really, really want to watch it”, Dominique Marletta said. The highest generating pay-per-view was 1.65 million buys for the rematch between McGregor and Nate Diaz at UFC 202 last August. It gives more people an opportunity for a title. “He should be one of the great American sporting success stories because he came out of awful poverty and boxing was his salvation”.
Sportsbooks are reporting there is only one bet on Mayweather for every 12 bets on McGregor. Mayweather is supposed to win big because of his boxing ability, but I have not read anywhere how and why McGregor could spring the upset. So if you believe him and think he will pick up the pace and go for the knockout, your wager will be multiplied by +450. “To have this fight will take whichever sport to a different level”.
Unless he suddenly gets old in the ring, Mayweather can then laugh all the way to the bank.
Mayweather traditionally fights a defensive battle, using his patented shoulder rolls and defensive tactics to avoid big punches and win by points. There is also the small matter of the Nathan Cleverly-Badou Jack who will be fighting on the undercard at the T Mobile Arena on Saturday night/Sunday morning.
Each of his last 14 fights have been in Sin City and have generated huge money.

Now, with that being said, those of us in the MMA world know all too well that “Mystic Mac” is a peculiar yet somehow real character. “It’s going to make a lot of money and boxing is a business”.
