Dubai venues showing the Mayweather Vs McGregor fight
It’s being dubbed ‘The Money Fight’ (fitting really, as both fighters are set to earn a bucket load of cash from it). Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather will face UFC champion Conor McGregor on August 27, 2017 (Dubai time). Let’s face it – you probably want to watch it even if you don’t like boxing. Even if the fight sucks, the trash-talk is going to be on point.
The good news is that the Las Vegas evening fight will start at breakfast in Dubai, meaning that you can watch it over a full English before work. Make sure you don’t miss a swing with our ShortList of venues screening The Money Fight.
Irish Village
McGregor fans probably want to get themselves along to Irish village to watch McGregor in action. There’s no specific promotion – just great atmosphere and the opportunity to watch the fight amongst a load of other fans. Doors open at 6am and organisers recommend you get there early to get a good seat.
