Boxing promoter Oscar De La Hoya is convinced a boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor will never happen.
In an interview with SI Now on Tuesday, De La Hoya said he doesn't think the UFC would allow the fight to happen—despite McGregor's apparent willingness to enter into the world of boxing.
"That'll never happen," De La Hoya said. "The UFC will never allow it. It just will not happen."
"Why would they let the biggest star, McGregor, go up in the ring just straight boxing?" he continued. "Mayweather would probably outclass him. It would be a boring boxing match.
