Clearly, the odds show McGregor as the underdog, which he should be. Never having fought a professional boxing match and squaring off against one of the best boxers in the world, Mayweather's 49-0 record should be too much for McGregor to handle.

The press, and subsequent emotion, for this fight, has hidden the fact that this is not a bout set for McGregor to succeed in. Even with different sized gloves and a weight advantage that many thinks will give McGregor the power advantage, landing his punches could be a challenge.

In a boxing contest, this really isn't close. In a fight, the advantage would clearly go to McGregor.
