Sylvester Stallone hoping Conor McGregor upsets Mayweather: He's a 'real life Rocky'

Conor McGregor has no chance of beating Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a boxing ring. That's the daily rhetoric we're going to hear from experts in the lead-up to the highly anticipated mega-fight between two of the biggest stars in combat sports history.

"You know who's gonna win. You know who's gonna win!" Stallone told TMZ Sports recently (h/t Ryan Harkness of MMA Mania).
