McGregor vs Mayweather Live odds: Best bets and predictions ahead of £500m Las Vegas mega-fight

Floyd Mayweather retired in 2015, with an unbeaten record of 49-0, but now he's back with a vengeance as he takes on the UFC lightweight champion in a 12-round clash that has been brewing for more than a year McGregor vs Mayweather Live.

The former multi-division boxing world champion opens as the heavy favourite - understandable considering McGregor has never boxed professionally before.Large sums of money have already been placed on both fighters - with Paddy Power revealing that one punter has placed £1,800 on a McGregor to win at 11/2, while Mayweather has the pressure of a £5,000 bet on his head.Among Irish and British punters, McGregor has received heavy backing.McGregor has just finished a four-date four-press conference tour with Mayweather to promote the fight in Los Angeles, Toronto, New York and London, with the two fighters hurling controversial comments at each other over the microphone.The Irishman has claimed his will beat the undefeated Mayweather inside four rounds when they throw down in Las Vegas on August 26, but Vargas has claimed all is not going to plan for McGregor.Vargas said: “I heard that they tried Bradley Wheeler but he knocked him out.”“I’m looking forward to Floyd coming out with a victory by knockout in six, seven rounds. I have no doubt. I actually want to put some money on it. It’s a 99 per cent win.”This comes after South African boxer Chris van Heerden claimed last month that he went six rounds while sparring the 29-year-old and “was not fazed at all”Cries that it was isolated footage (watch it) or perhaps orchestrated in favor of South African welterweight Chris van Heerden took yet another hit this past weekend when former WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas revealed that “Notorious” was recently stiffened while sparring for his upcoming Floyd Mayweather fight.“Conor’s gonna get knocked out,” Vargas told Villanfy Media. “McGregor vs Mayweather Live Stream always lives up to the hype. I have no doubt. I actually want to put down money on it, the odds aren’t that bad. [McGregor] got knocked out in sparring already, man."
