While McGregor is widely know for his stand-up game inside the Octagon, he will certainly be outside of his element if he steps inside the ring with Mayweather, who is widely considered one of the greatest defensive boxers of all time.
UFC President Dana White seems to be up for the bout, as he told Mayweather to call him if he was indeed serious about a possibly match-up with the Irish star.
Rumors of the bout continue to circulate across the headlines of combat-sports news outlets nationwide throughout the weeks, however no form of confirmation has come from either McGregor or Mayweather as of this writing.
