Six days from now Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor will finally go toe-to-toe in a bout being dubbed "the Fight of the Century." While there's a large amount of excitement surrounding the event, there seems to be just as much skepticism. For every person pumped to see boxing's top earner take on MMA's top superstar there is someone who views the clash between the two as nothing more than a money grab.

This weekend ESPN's Scoop Jackson offered his take on the superfight in an essay titled "What This Isn't." One of the most common arguments against the fight is the fact that McGregor has never fought professionally as a boxer, leaving a great deal of doubt in the mind of detractors that he'll be able to mount much of a challenge against an undefeated legend in the ring.

Even the most ardent of McGregor supporters would have to say that the MMA fighter having to provide proof that he was able to score a knockdown against a less esteemed opponent in Paulie Malignaggi doesn't exactly scream "superfight" material. That being said, we're still psyched to watch the fight as personality has always gone a long way in selling a fight, and both Mayweather and McGregor have provided a solid performance in the trash talking department. As for their in-ring performance...well, we'll have to wait and see.
