In case you have been living under a rock, let’s get you up to speed.  This Saturday, in one of the

more memorable fight weekends in memory, we have 2017’s SUPERFIGHT between an over the hill boxing legend and an MMA fighter in his prime.   This match is in a boxing ring, boxing rules.

Floyd “Money” Mayweather, the old champ, takes on the pride of Ireland, UFC star Connor McGregor.
