Mayweather's last 12 fights have taken place at the MGM Grand and 23 of his 49 pro fights were in Nevada. Mayweather's last 14 fights, spanning a decade, have taken place in his hometown of Las Vegas.įurthermore, Mayweather hasn't fought in the jurisdiction where McGregor got his first US boxing licence - California - since 2003 and has had just five bouts in the Golden State. He would get his ass beat from pillar to post."įLOYD FIGHTS IN VEGAS, WHERE BEEFING CONOR ISN'T LICENCED
Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe also weighed in via ESPN: "The brass (new owners WME-IMG) who recently purchased the UFC are very smart people and they would never - and put this in bold caps - let him step into a boxing ring with Floyd Mayweather because everyone knows what the outcome would be. Floyd would take out McGregor whenever he wanted." but I would warn him about the huge odds against him," Arum told TMZ. "I'd jump at the chance if Conor wanted to sign on. Veteran boxing promoter Bob Arum also dropped some blunt truths on the touted fight. The same would be said if Mayweather was seeking to fight in MMA (which he would never even remotely consider)." "For a million reasons, not the least of which is the fact that Mayweather, when he fights, is the best boxer on the planet and McGregor would essentially be making his professional boxing debut and, frankly, I have serious doubts a commission even would approve such a dangerous mismatch. Yet top boxing writer Dan Rafael of ESPN also raised the sanctioning issue. McGregor also has a rock-solid chin and has proven himself, albeit in the cage, eminently capable of landing a punch. 'Money' won his last seven bouts, and 12 of his last 14, by decision. The one factor that may just let it slip through is Mayweather's lack of lethal punching power late in his career.
