They claim McGregor, who has as many professional boxing matches under his shiny UFC belt as I do, has no business in the squared-circle against arguably the greatest boxer of all time.
McGregor will look “ridiculous,” said Mike Tyson.
Oscar De La Hoya stated Mayweather will “dismantle” his MMA opponent, and boxing “might not ever recover” after the circus sideshow leaves town August 26.
Mayweather owns an unblemished 49-0 pro boxing record, and has already reportedly filed five trademarks for “50-0.”
Mayweather has opened as an early 10-1 odds-on favorite to school McGregor (+650).
With the odds stacked against him, and so many convinced he’ll get embarrassed, who in the world would McGregor risk tarnishing his brand against “Money” Mayweather?
