Pretending that Conor McGregor actually has a chance vs. Floyd Mayweather in their fight in August is a pleasant fiction, suitable for boosting PPV numbers and ESPN ratings and not much else. But when you peel back the first layer of idiocy (see: Skip Bayless) and really look at it, you just shake your head.
Chris van Heerden is a former IBO welterweight champion from South Africa who is 25-2-1 — he relinquished his IBO title when he relocated to the U.S. (Los Angeles) last year. One of his new jobs was as sparring partner with McGregor in 2016, when the Mayweather fight was in the early planning stages.
