Mayweather says McGregor could be fined up to ‘90 percent’ of his purse if he kicks him in the head

The details haven’t been revealed, but expect Conor McGregor to face a ‘heavy fine’ if he throws a kick or any other mixed martial arts technique in his 12-round boxing showdown against Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Aug. 26.

Mayweather and McGregor will compete under Queensberry boxing rules at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and ‘Money’ says the Irishman would ‘probably’ lose 90 percent of his purse if he decides to fight dirty.

“That’s a fine, that’s a huge fine,” Mayweather told Jimmy Kimmel after being asked what would happen if McGregor kicked him in the head.
