Irish superstar Conor McGregor flirts with the idea of a boxing super-fight with Floyd Mayweather.
As well as being a world-class MMA fighter, Conor McGregor is also a businessman. The brash Irishman claimed that his ultimate goal is to own the UFC in an interview last month, and now the 27-year-old sees dollar signs in a Mayweather bout.
According to the newly crowned interim featherweight champion, a 'cross-style' fight with Mayweather is good business. McGregor claimed in an interview with The Guardian yesterday that a showdown with the undefeated boxing stud in his own backyard would generate 'half a billion' dollars.
