It was a chance encounter between Floyd Mayweather and a camera man from TMZ that might have jump started one of the most stunning negotiations in the history of sports.
Conor McGregor knocked out Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 on Nov. 12 at Madison Square Garden to become the UFC lightweight champion and the only man to hold two UFC belts in two different weight classes at the same time. Two days later, Floyd Mayweather was in Manhattan’s Diamond District when TMZ caught up with him to ask him about McGregor and the Alvarez KO.
