Conor McGregor

By Jeff Aranow: Boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr. has reportedly offered UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor $50 million to fight him this year before the end of the year in a giant PPV fight. Mayweather would receive nine-figures if the fight takes place. The imbalance in pay could make it tough for the fight to happen though because Mayweather would be making two times the amount that McGregor is getting if the fight takes place.

Getting the 27-year-old McGregor and his management to agree to a deal where he’s getting only half as much as Mayweather might make the fight untenable unless Mayweather is willing to give him a better cut.

By Askhat Bapiev: Many people are convinced that Conor McGregor has no chance against Floyd Mayweather Jr. And they also believe that Floyd has a good arsenal to kill all aspirations for win.

It will be difficult to visualize a full picture of winner,until we turn the page. We simply can’t judge McGregor’s chance according to Mayweather’s ability and greatness.

By Patrick McHugh: Floyd Mayweather Jr. still isn’t sure whether he’ll be returning to the ring to resume his career, but he’s taken the guesswork out of who he’ll be facing if he does choose to come back to the sport in 2016 or thereafter.

Mayweather says the only guy he’ll face is UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor. He’s not even a boxer, and the only experience he has in fighting is the standup fighting he does during his MMA fights. Mayweather is really hedging his bets by going after a UFC fighter for his next fight.

By Jeff Aranow: Trainer Freddie Roach said he was contacted by some to train MMA fighter Conor McGregor in boxing. Roach isn’t sure whether they want him to help trainer the 27-year-old McGregor (19-3) to get ready for a fight against superstar boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. or what.

Roach says if they want him to train McGregor, he’ll do it if he comes to his gym. With that said, Roach doesn’t think it’s possible for him to train McGregor to beat Mayweather in one training camp. Roach says McGregor would need to be trained by him for three years to have a chance against Mayweather.

By Jeff Aranow: Floyd Mayweather Jr. says he’s interested in coming back to the ring for a nine-figure payday against UFC fighter Conor McGregor in what he says will be a boxing match. First off, a fight against McGregor will be lucky if it brings in 500,000 PPV buys because McGregor isn’t a star in the sport of boxing and he clearly wouldn’t have a clue what to do in the ring against Mayweather or any fighter in the sport.

Without a HUGE handicap to give McGregor a chance, he’ll be embarrassed by Mayweather and the boxing fans will be upset for having shelled out a lot of cash to see this farce. For Mayweather Jr. to have a chance of getting a nine-figure payday, the PPV prices will need to be through the roof in the $100 range just like they were for his fight against Manny Pacquiao last year in May 2015.
