It must be a pretty big couch.
Hey, folks... Conor McGregor versus Floyd Mayweather is actually happening.
In real life.
An MMA fighter is taking on one of boxing's greatest of all time.
An Irish man is taking on one of boxing's greatest of all time.
There's even a tale of the f**king tape. It's actually happening.

This is really happening. Genuinely. No bullshit. And, naturally, the entire world - never mind this little island of ours, is beside itself in anticipation for what will be one of the biggest sporting events ever.
Most people are still trying to come to terms with what was announced on Wednesday evening. But, hey, it's been over 13 months since Mystic Mac predicted this.

Around that time though, he had just announced his shock retirement from the UFC in what was the most retweeted tweet by a sports star ever.

That prompted John Kavanagh's decision to get behind the couch - no doubt he was being pestered for explanations as the pair were said to be in a camp together in Iceland at the time.
His decision to tweet two days later raised excitement that something was about to go down.

The story progressed, McGregor put out his terms then McGregor teased a boxing fight.
Which gave his coach no option.

On Wednesday night, Conor McGregor v Floyd Mayweather

What the hell's a coach to do?

Maybe he'll get to relax this time and just take in a boxing fight. No doubt he'll still be hot property though.
Dana White confirmed on SportsCenter that Mayweather vs. McGregor will be at T-Mobile Arena and at 154 pounds.
