Kenyans on Sunday morning join the rest of the world for probably the most anticipated and the richest fight in combat history.
The fight is scheduled for Sunday 6 am (Kenyan time) pitting undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather against mixed martial arts champion Conor McGregor.
Lovers of boxing have been eagerly waiting for this moment given the high stakes in the fight that will generate proceeds of more than 600 Million dollars (over 60 Billion Kenya shillings).

Why is the fight so anticipated?
The fighters are two of the most popular athletes in their respective sport with Mayweather boasting an unblemished 49-0 professional boxing record while Irishman McGregor is the UFC (meaning he is a mixed martial artist) lightweight champion.
Mayweather is widely regarded as one of the best defensive fighters of all time due to his ability to evade punishment with his skilful movement in the ring.
McGregor, on the other hand, is UFC's (Ultimate Fighting Championship) reigning lightweight champion and former featherweight champion and is known for his explosive knockout power.
The American is purely a boxer so when McGregor steps into the ring, he’s deep in Mayweather’s territory explaining why expectations of him winning are low with his odds being 5 to 1.
Another interesting aspect of the fight is the money involved. Ringside seats alone will sell for $10,000 (KSh1 Million) while the regular seats are going for $500 each (KSh 50,000).
