Quote: Conor McGregor Has ‘Zero Percent Chance’ Against Floyd Mayweather Jr.
While there may or may not be much of a chance that the rumored Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. boxing match actually happens (depending on who you ask), that certainly doesn’t mean that those close to either side won’t hype up whom they think would win.
With speculation running wild, Mayweather Jr.’s father Floyd continued to discuss the potentially huge super fight in a recent interview on the Mayweather Boxing Channel.
Mayweather Sr. seems to insist that the bout could actually take place, and the magnitude of it would shock everyone if and when it did. Asked to compare it to Mayweather’s monstrous but ultimately lackluster super fight with Manny Pacquiao, and the boxig legend’s father said McGregor vs. Mayweather would be much bigger:
“I think it would be bigger than Pacman and Floyd. You just wait and see.”
If the incredibly speculative fight were to go down now that McGregor has been pulled from his main event rematch with Nat Diaz at UFC 200, Mayweather Sr. gave the Irishman absolutely no chance of even making it competitive with his undefeated son:
“Zero percent. I’m not going to say that it would be the quickest knockout of Floyd’s career. I’m not gonna say that. But it would be one of the most humiliating fights that anyone could see.”
A similar sentiment seems to be the general consensus of most, with the majority picking Mayweather Jr. in a boxing match and McGregor in a MMA fight, and both by a wide margin. That viewpoint apparently has Mayweather Sr. excited about the prospect of seeing his son potentially demolish McGregor in a boxing ring:
“Oh hell yes. It’s an easy test. You know what Floyd’s gonna do.”
Quite the confidence from Mayweather Jr.’s camp, and you certainly wouldn’t expect anything less. Watch the full interview with Mayweather Sr. right here:
