From motorcycle daredevil Evil Knievel to off-the-wall comedian Carrot Top, the Las Vegas strip has seen it all, but nothing quite like the crossover fight betweenundefeated boxer Mayweather and mixed martial arts champion McGregor. Mayweather, a 12-times world champion over five weight divisions who traditionally fights defensive battles, is also calling for a knockout, something he has not done since stopping Victor Ortiz nearly six years ago. "I know that I'm in for a tough fight but there is one thing I do know, this fight is not going the distance." But the Las Vegas smart money is all streaming towards Mayweather with reports of several $1 million bets being laid on the 'Money Man.' So sure is Irish bookmaker Paddy Power of the outcome that they have already paid out on a Mayweather victory.
