Comments Thread For: Mayweather Continues To Push a McGregor PPV With Poster
Former five division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26KOs) has continued to push a fantasy fight with UFC featherweight world champion Conor McGregor.
I don't think this fight is happening, not while Conor is under contract with the UFC guys.
We now understand that as far back as December, Conor McGregor's team met with Al Haymon - Floyd Mayweather's advisor - in Las Vegas. The details provided to us about that get-together were as follows:
Al Haymon arranged the meeting.
It took place just 2-3 days after McGregor sparked out José Aldo to become UFC featherweight champion: December 14th or 15th.
The teams reached an agreement whereby they could raise the profile of their own fighter through the other party; 'maximum publicity for minimum effort'.
Floyd Mayweather did not attend the meeting, and has never met Conor McGregor.
Dana White was not involved, and is still not involved in any discussions between both camps.
Anyone who thinks this is anything besides a cheap, transparent ploy to keep Mayweather relevant until he announces his 50th fight is a ****** who should be taken away in a straitjacket.
