With only four days to go until the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor superfight, sponsors are locking down deals to be part of the highly anticipated event.

The fight's main sponsor will be Corona, which receives center-of-the-mat placement, ring girls and inclusion in the broadcast. It is not known how much the beer company paid, but the original asking price for the sponsorship, along with a suite of branded areas, was $10 million.

Another beverage company, BodyArmor, will also have prime placement. All of Saturday's fights at T-Mobile Arena will feature BodyArmor-branded towels and stools in the fighters' corners. Instead of drinking out of water bottles, fighters will drink out of BodyArmor-provided bottles of its sports drink and water.

"BodyArmor was created to provide a better-for-you hydration option for athletes who want to perform at their best, and there's no better example of two athletes who will be competing at the highest level than Mayweather versus McGregor," said Mike Repole, co-founder and chairman of the brand.

On Tuesday, Hublot announced its logo would appear on Mayweather's waistband for the fight, as it had been for his fight against Manny Pacquiao in 2015.

McGregor has sold his short sponsorships to betting site BetSafe and a longer-term sponsor, Monster Energy.

The two fighters have taken advantage of their big social media followings in the past few days to make some more money. Mayweather has promoted his strip bar The Girl Collection and daily fantasy site Draft, while McGregor has promoted tooth whitening kit Hi Smile.

McGregor's shoe deal with Reebok is up, and it is not known whether he will sign with a competitor or go out on his own to promote his Notorious brand.

McGregor recently unveiled a 12-week conditioning program called McGregor F.A.S.T. that he is selling for $295, and Mayweather announced the formation of Mayweather Boxing & Fitness gyms.
Sponsors abound for Mayweather-McGregor

As in free, I doubt u will find one without it buffering like crazy.

I've read here where u can pay ten dollars for ppv hd streams from some site/s.
Bigeventstv is $18 this time around cuz of the price, only thing I dont like about em is they use an international feed(broadcast crew is American) and I want to hear how Paulie calls this fight.

The anger at Floyd Sr..just out of nowhere
I thought it was Sr doing the heckling in the vid. That marble mouf n1gga always tryin to yap. Conor needs to just jump out of the ring and jump on Sr saturday.



Conor has sparred way too many mma dudes for this. I dont get it. I honestly think the ref will be quick to stop this if he shows he cant defend himself from mayweather punches. McGregor is already the biggest draw in combat sports. I dont think the commission wants him hurt when he can continue to fight mma in vegas.

This fight should never have been sanctioned in the first place. I doubt it would have been sanctioned had Conor did this on his own, w/o the backing of the UFC. At some point, someone need to save him from himself. We know Conor would kill C0onweather in a legit fight, but in boxing, Conor may start to talk like Floyd Sr if its not stopped quick. :sadcam:

I hate this lazy talking point. What's a legit fight? Floyd is better with his hands than Conor no matter how you slice it.
