Get ready for a week of insanity as the World Tour dates for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight have finally been confirmed. Rumors had been swirling for the past few days, revealing plans for stops in Los Angeles and London. But now we have the exact details of the international tour, which will take place over four days in three countries.
The tour kicks off Tuesday July 11th in Los Angeles at the Staples Center, then rolls onto Toronto’s Sony Centre for Wednesday July 12th. Thursday July 13th sees them at the Barclays Center in New York City, and then they hop across the pond to Wembley Arena (not Wembley Stadium as originally rumored) in London on Friday, July 14th.

The Mayweather vs. McGregor boxing match goes down August 26th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. While most pundits feel like McGregor has no chance against Mayweather, Conor’s team continues to be confident they can shock the world. And with McGregor’s long history of proving his detractors wrong, who knows? One way or another, it should be an entertaining ride leading up to the event, and while the fight itself may end up being disappointing, we have no doubts that the World Tour portion will be something you don’t want to miss.
