After months
of speculation that the fight would never happen followed by weeks of
anticipation for how the bout would play out, Floyd Mayweather and Conor
McGregor
will finally meet in the ring at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on
Saturday, August 26 for 12 rounds of boxing in what could very well be the
biggest pay-per-view in television history.
The
schedules for combat events are always loose, and it's tough to know precisely
when Mayweather and McGregor will enter the ring and hear the bell. Chances are
the real festivities — including a performance of the national anthem by Demi
Lovato and the solo entrances of both fighters to the ring — won't begin until
two hours after the start of the broadcast and the fight itself will start
approximately 45 minutes after that.
Below are
the start times for the broadcast, and the approximate start times for the
entrance by the fighters to the ring and the start of the fight (in that order)
