Some have dismissed the upcoming megafight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor as a sideshow, but Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellberbe says the boxing legend can’t afford to adopt the same attitude as the critics.
Mayweather is hands down one of the greatest defensive boxers of all time and probably the best boxer of his generation as he’s amassed a perfect 49-0 record and a whole bunch of money to go with it.
He’ll take on Conor McGregor on Aug. 26 in what many are predicting will be a lopsided bout considering McGregor, despite his numerous accolades in the Octagon, has never boxed professionally.
