More classic fights: Showtime to showcase Floyd Mayweather tonight

Showtime Boxing Classics features two Floyd Mayweather fights beginning at 10 ET / PT tonight.

Showtime Boxing Classics features two Floyd Mayweather fights beginning at 10 ET / PT tonight.

Mayweather takes on Marcos Maidana in their first fight, which took place in May 2014. That’s followed by Mayweather’s final bout, a knockout of MMA star Conor McGregor in August 2017.

The fights are available on Showtime, the Showtime streaming service and Showtime Anytime.

Some observers thought that the pressure-fighting Maidana did enough in his first fight with Mayweather to get the decision, although the judges gave Mayweather a majority-decision victory. Mayweather also won the rematch.

And while the McGregor fight was a mismatch from the outset, it attracted a huge number of viewers and allowed Mayweather to finish is career at 50-0.

As part of the coverage, combat sports analysts Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell will host the live digital series “Morning Kombat Classics” on the Morning Kombat YouTube Channel.

Thomas and Campbell will watch the fights along with viewers and give real-time reactions and answer questions. Viewers can participate by using the hashtag #FightFromHome on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
