Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor meet one final time before their fight on Saturday night for the official weigh-in. While boxing weigh-ins are normally relatively uneventful, knowing these two fighter's penchant for talking trash, there's a chance some sparks fly in this last anticipatory event before the bell rings.
The fight is set for 154 pounds, and currently both men are expected to hit the number without much trouble, Mayweather having fought at 145 before and McGregor trained and practiced and making a variety of weights to meet different opponents in the octagon. While fights at 154 pounds are normally required to be fought with 10-ounce gloves, a one-time waiver was granted by the Nevada Athletic Commission to allow the bout to go on with 8-ounce gloves after both fighters campaigned for the change.
If you're looking to catch one last glimpse of Mayweather and McGregor before the lights go down on Saturday night, you can watch the fight here, via Showtime Boxing's YouTube channel. The action is set to start at 6 p.m. ET, but knowing these fighters, chances are you'll be fine if you arrive a little late.
