The Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather world tour begins next week, and the highly-anticipated fight will be held in three different countries.
The first stop of their tour will be a press conference at Los Angeles’ Staples Center on Tuesday (July 11). Tickets for that presser went on sale Friday at 3 pm EST. Tickets are available at AXS.com on a first-come, first-served basis and will be limited to four per person. The pre-show for the conference will begin at 4:30 pm EST, and the presser itself will start at 5:30 pm EST.
McGregor — who will be 29 later this month — is the only UFC fighter to hold titles in two separate weight classes: lightweight and featherweight. He will face off in a boxing match against 40-year-old Mayweather, who retired with a 49-0 record at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Aug. 26. The bout will air on Showtime pay-per-view.
According to OddsShark, Mayweather is a -650 favorite (bet $650 to win $100) with McGregor coming in as a +425 underdog (bet $100 to win $425). Per Keith Idec of Boxing Scene, Mayweather is predicted to earn east $100 million in the matchup, while McGregor is expected to earn at least $75 million.
