Floyd Mayweather Massive Favorite Over Conor McGregor
With Conor McGregor now having made UFC history by with his UFC 205 lightweight title victory over Eddie Alvarez, becoming the first fighter in promotion history to hold two titles at once, a potential big-money boxing match between the heavy-handed Irishman and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. has never been bigger.
The rumors of the potential super-fight between the two brash stars first caught wind when McGregor abruptly announced his ‘retirement’ from mixed martial arts (MMA) competition after being removed from the massive UFC 200 card this past Summer. Mayweather would then announce that he was interested in a boxing match with the UFC star, and admitted he was trying to make the fight happen.
Mayweather has been retired from in-ring competition after racking up a legendary undefeated record of 49-0, after a unanimous decision win over Andre Berto in September of last year. ‘Money’ has since stated that he would only consider coming out of retirement for a boxing fight with McGregor to reach 50-0.
Now with McGregor having obtained a boxing license in the state of California earlier this week, the rumor mill is once again beginning to pick up heat with talk of a boxing match between the two combat sports stars. Popular sportsbook Bovada has released their betting odds for the potential bout, with Mayweather leading as a massive favorite over ‘The Notorious One’:
Floyd Mayweather -2250
Conor McGregor +950
If the colossal boxing bout does in fact come to fruition, who are you putting your money on between the two mega-stars?
