The Bottom Line: McGregor-Mayweather a Bad Idea for Everyone in MMA, Save One

With his press conference on Saturday in Manchester, England, Conor McGregor made it clear he’s committed to aggressively pursuing a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mayweather himself has been outwardly receptive to the possibility, as well, and it’s no mystery why given the risk/reward ratio for the boxing legend. A McGregor-Mayweather fight would be a box office bonanza; and with the amount of money involved, it’s easy to understand why McGregor himself would be interested. The likely problems with the fight would apply to pretty much everyone else around him, from his sport to his company to his fans.
