“Only time McGregor has been defeated was when he was on the ground,” Mayweather said during the interview.

Somewhere in California Nick Diaz hears some howling.

They should do James Toney v Randy again except with two real fighters.

Starting from boxing, what's the minimum ruleset modification where Conor has a decent shot at winning?
Unlimited clinching and hitting from the clinch? This would include all manner of neck ties.

Ali/Inoki rules

If you're coming at this as a mma fan, you might be surprised by how much wrestling is in boxing:

https://youtu.be/T8gGOwgr4XQ

And how good mayweather is at it:

https://youtu.be/v2wW7zqH87Y

If there's one thing I expect McGregor to bring it's competency in wrestling, and I'm curious to see how that effects mayweather's control inside.

When I think of McGregor i certainly think of his vaunted clinch and grappling

No wait

The other thing

Conor had a mental breakdown over not being able to land on Nate Diaz in the first three minutes of a fight.

ICE CUBE could sabotage Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather’s plans to stage their super fight at the T-Mobile Arena.

The rapper’s BIG 3 basketball league had already booked the location for the league championship game on the same night.

The UFC star and retired boxing legend announced their highly-anticipated bout would take place on August 26.

A BIG 3 source told TMZ they have no intentions of moving their date.

With their game expected to go ahead, BIG 3 are continuing to promote tickets to their match to take place on August 26.

Ice Cube gonna get paid y'all

Adrian Broner, a man many believed was the heir to Mayweather's throne, became the latest pugilist to publicly state their desire to fight at the historic event.

And the Cincinnati native, who locks horns with WBC lightweight champion Mikey Garcia on July 29, has set his sights on doing battle with Diaz, the first fighter in UFC history to defeat McGregor.

Do it please Jesus

Stringer Bell has insight

“Listen, I’m going to tell you something a little controversial. In my opinion, I think McGregor has a really good chance at winning that fight. Here’s why. It’s controversial, but listen, I have a kickboxing background and the agility of a kickboxer in MMA is very different from a boxer. I think, what’s going to happen is that Floyd is going to, and I love Floyd, he’s a friend, he is going to fight his fight. But I think McGregor is going to topple that. He is going to topple his composure, he’s going to throw some things around that Floyd is not going to be used to. And the other thing about McGregor is that he can strike really, really, really quickly out of nowhere. Where I think Floyd does what he does normally, which is to hold a tight fight and I think McGregor is going to topple that and strike him. If he gets one on his chin, it could be over. Not a lot of people agree with me, but I just know kickboxers move differently. McGregor’s not going to go in there to box Floyd, he is going to fight Floyd. That’s a different sort of thing altogether. MMA is mixed marital arts, so McGregor is not just a kickboxer, he has the agility of so many disciplines, which is why I think is going to be a disadvantage for Floyd. Floyd is going to try to box Conor, and Conor is going to fight Floyd. I’m telling I think what is going to happen is Floyd is going to end up taking off his gloves and land one on him really.”
