Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor: Jose Mourinho says he had a vision fight will end in an all-out brawl
JOSE MOURINHO says he has had a vision that the Floyd Mayweather clash with Conor McGregor will break into an all-out brawl.
Manchester United manager Mourinho is a massive boxing fan and is keen to see what happens when Mayweather and McGregor face off in Las Vegas this weekend.
The fight is taking place too late for him to stay up and watch live, but Mourinho says he will watch it back when he wakes up on Sunday morning.
And he admits the outcome of the star-studded event in the States has been occupying his mind when he sleeps.
Mourinho said: "My dream was it started as a boxing fight and ended in a different way, both showing their qualities in a real fight, not just boxing.
"It’s too late for me, I have to sleep and then the next morning I will look at it."
Mourinho says the fight that is playing on his mind more is the one United face to get through the group stages of the Champions League.
The Reds have been drawn to face Benfica, CSKA Moscow and Basel on their return to the premier European competition.

Many expect United to just breeze through into the knockout stages, but Mourinho has issued a note of caution.
He added: "I have seen and listened to some of the reaction after the draw and my reaction is different to the ones I have heard.
"This is the kind of group everyone can win, lose or draw. We are going to share points between the teams, you are not going to see four or five nil to one team.
"You are not going to see teams with 15-16 points and others with none, it is a dangerous group.
"The last time, Manchester United lost against Basel, couldn't beat Benfica in two matches and I think the last time against CSKA it was 0-0 or something.
"I know the three places, I have played few times against CSKA and Basel, I know the atmospheres of the grounds, the style of play and it is not going to be easy."
