    PREDICTIONS:

    Amir B
    Age: 29
    Occupation: Professional MMA Fighter
    Prediction: Mayweather.
    Verdict: It’s an historic fight and I’m backing Mayweather to win in the sixth round, probably by knockout.

    Josh Mepham
    Age: 28
    Occupation: Aquarium Designs
    Prediction: McGregor
    Verdict: I like them both but I’d love McGregor to win as the underdog and I think he’s got a good chance because he’s a difficult fighter to take on. He’s not a boxer so Mayweather’s not going to know what is coming and I don’t think the American has studied him enough to know what he’s going to do.

    Alfred Junior Luciap
    Age: 31
    Occupation: MMA striking coach at UFC GYM
    Prediction: Mayweather
    It’s a big event and I think it will be a great fight which will last as long as 10 rounds, with Mayweather outlasting McGregor in the end.

    Tarek Ahmed
    Age: 28
    Occupation: Engineer
    Prediction: McGregor
    Verdict: Everyone is excited to see the match-up and I think both fighters have an equal chance of winning. McGregor has a lot of techniques other than boxing which can make him fast in the ring and I’m backing him to triumph.

    Ty Kubiak
    Age: 43
    Occupation: Personal Trainer and Security Operative.
    Prediction: Mayweather
    Verdict: It’s his game, it’s his domain and kudos for Conor for having a go but I think it’s time for him to retire and what a way to go out on a $100m pay packet.
