How to watch Mayweather Vs McGregor for free

The only legal way to watch the Mayweather Vs McGregor fight without paying is to head down the pub (see above.) With that said, Australia is a nation of ex-convicts... and convicts find a way.

One option is to trawl the internet on August 27 for a cheeky broadcast on Facebook Live. This is precisely what happened during the Anthony Mundine Vs Danny Green pay-per-view boxing match back in February. Darren Sharpe, a mechanic from Brisbane, ended up getting 112,000 viewers piggybacking off his Facebook Live stream of the fight.

Needless to say, Foxtel was not amused, but it did not pursue the matter legally. Sharpe was eventually forced to issue a public apology for breaking copyright law, but that was all he copped. Meanwhile, none of the people who watched the stream were punished in any way.

Just be aware that this is a pretty risky way to watch the fight - if a Facebook Live stream does appear, it will be of the handheld, bootleg variety and the broadcast could be shut down at any second. Also, it's clearly an extremely dodgy thing to partake in. (For those interested, you can read up on the legalities of Facebook Live event streaming here.)

Planning a trip to Vegas? Getting into the venue won't be cheap: ringside tickets will set you back over $11,000 (!), while the cheapest available seats are still in the region of fifteen-hundred bucks. You can purchase tickets on ticketmaster. (We advise not gambling at the casino too - nobody has that much money.) 

 Mayweather Vs McGregor: Fight rules

The Mayweather Vs McGregor fight will follow boxing rules, comprising 12 three-minute rounds at 154 pounds with eight-ounce gloves. (Yes, this means McGregor will not be able to use any of his MMA moves, with the exception of legal punching blows.)

Mayweather Vs McGregor: Fighter stats

    Mayweather     McGregor

Record     Boxing: 49-0 (28 KOs)     MMA: 21-3 (18 KOs)
Height     5'8" (172cm)     5'9" (175cm)
Weight     154lb (70kg)     154lb (70kg)
Style     Orthodox     Southpaw
Reach     72 inches     74 inches
Age     40     29

As you can see, Mayweather has a significant height, reach and age disadvantage, but his 49-0 boxing record speaks for itself. McGregor is very much the underdog here. With that said, self-belief goes a long way and McGregor has this in spades.

Mayweather Vs McGregor: Betting Odds

We do not encourage gambling at Lifehacker, but if you're going to risk your hard-earned cash on the outcome of a sports match, it might as well be for something outlandish and crazy like this.

Here are the current odds from TAB for various outcomes:

    Mayweather: $1.25

    Mayweather by KO/TKO: $1.80

    Mayweather by decision/tech decision: $4

    McGregor: $4

    McGregor by KO/TKO: $5.50

    McGregor Wins in Round 1: $17

    McGregor by decision/tech decision: $21

    Mayweather Wins in Round 1: $21

    McGregor Wins in Round 2: $21

    Draw: $26

The safe money is on a head-to-head Mayweather victory, but at odds of $1.18 it's hardly worth the risk. If you're going to take a punt, go full madman and back a McGregor KO in round 2.

This will give you a nice 20x return on whatever you put down. (For what it's worth, the Irishman has vowed to knock Mayweather out inside two rounds and most experts agree that if McGregor is going to win he will need to do it early.) A more conservative bet is a Mayweather victory by decision, which is currently sitting at $4.
