One of the biggest stories throughout all of combat sports in recent months has been the showdown between future Boxing Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather and two-division MMA world champion Conor McGregor. An encounter that will take place in a Boxing ring and under Professional Boxing rules. A fight that has frankly morphed into more of an event that is expected by some to break existing pay-per-view records.
