He takes on UFC star Conor McGregor on Saturday night in a boxing match that might shatter revenue records and could earn Mayweather $350 million. And it’s how Mayweather found himself facing an arena full of shouting McGregor fans after the last weigh-in of his 21-year pro boxing career. Mayweather is a self-promoting heel who has spent the last decade selling tickets by stoking animosity among fight fans eager to see him lose. Conor McGregor, right, landed plenty of verbal jabs in the leadup to Saturday's fight, but can he land a big blow against Floyd Mayweather in the ring? Both fighters will likely gain weight before entering the ring but the taller, more densely muscled McGregor says he’ll re-hydrate to 170 pounds.
