The day is finally here for the much anticpaited superfight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor.
If you look hard enough across the internet, you can find various athletes, celebrities and icons weighing in with their opinions and analysis on whether McGregor will “shock the world” and hand Mayweather his first loss in the ring, or if Mayweather will do what most are predicting and defeat the mixed martial arts star.
Manny Pacquaio, one of the all-time boxing greats, took to Twitter with a jab at Mayweather in what was clearly a reference to what was supposed the “Fight of the Century” back in May of 2015 between the two fighters. The hype failed to meet expectations and was rather uneventful, as Mayweather won by unanimous decision, and refrained from much of an aggressive strategy, which Pacquaio bluntly noted in the tweet. The Pac-Man deleted the post, but not before a screenshot caught in.
Oscar De La Hoya, who lost to Pacquiao and Mayweather in the past, chimed in with his two cents about the super bout with a much more obnoxious and direct shot at both Mayweather and McGregor. The tweet was likely just a publicity stunt to generate interest for the fights he’s pumping up on his Golden Boy Promotions fight card that will air on HBO at the same time of the Showtime tilts. Like Pacquaio, De La Hoya deleted the tweet, but fell victim to the power of the screengrab.
The following tweet is NSFW:
Amir Khan, the former light-welterweight champ, thinks McGregor could injure himself and potentially harm his chances of ever fighting again.
NBA stars Draymond Green and Paul George weighed in and are definetly in Floyd’s corner.
The fight is just now hours away, and the predictions are flowing in. Here’s some of the best we’ve found leading up to it.
