Mayweather Vs. McGregor: Where To Watch In NYC

NEW YORK CITY, NY — Some call it spectacle, others say it's the fight of the century. Whichever definition you choose, the mega fight between five-division world champion Floyd "Money" Mayweather and UFC lightweight champion "The Notorious" Conor McGregor is set to go down tonight, Saturday, night at the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas.

In a clash of two worlds, the boxer Mayweather will test his perfect 49-0 professional record against the mixed martial artist McGregor under the traditional Marquess of Queensberry boxing rules. While McGregor brings two world titles and a 21-3 mixed martial arts record, he has never had a professional boxing match and has limited amateur experience.

Experts and insiders say the event is projected to shatter both revenue and pay-per-view records previously set by Mayweather during his 2015 bout with Manny Pacquiao, which would make Saturday's event one of the highest-grossing single-night sporting events of all time.
