Mayweather v McGregor reaction
Mike Costello and Steve Bunce get reaction to the announcement of Floyd Mayweather v Conor McGregor and weigh up the prospects for each fighter and what the event means for boxing.
Having retired undefeated at 40 after winning titles at five weight classes, Floyd Mayweather is arguably the greatest pound-for-pound boxer of his generation.
At 28, McGregor accurately predicted his spectacular knockout wins over Chad Mendes, Jose Aldo and Eddie Alvarez in successive UFC title fights and has held both lightweight and featherweight belts at the same time.
Will 26 August see the greatest match in combat sports history? Or the biggest farce in the long history of freak fights? Mike Costello and Steve Bunce get reaction to the news and weigh up the prospects of each fighter and what the night will mean for boxing. Download the podcast: http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/5live.
