It's not every day that an undefeated boxing champion and a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) expert look forward to fighting each other inside the ring. Considering that action fans and enthusiasts are always looking for super bouts to happen, an upcoming treat is being eyed to happen very soon.
The hype is definitely on for the potential mega fight. With this in mind, retired boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be coming out of retirement in order to face Irish sensation Conor McGregor.
The man who touts an impressive 49-0 record thinks that the encounter will indeed come to fruition. Citing the European fighter's toughness, Mayweather is anticipating that the tussle will soon be arranged.
Meanwhile, the UFC champ shares that discussions are already underway for the bout. Judging from both fighters' contrasting approaches, how the engagement will ultimately become a reality is being explored deeply.
With regards to taking on Floyd Mayweather, the UFC's top guy believes that he has the edge. As manifested by his unpredictable prowess inside the octagon, the Irish is confident that his style will be difficult to suppress even from a dominant puncher that has lorded it over the boxing sphere for decades.
For the former welterweight champion, the bout will mostly be about entertainment. Judging from both fighters' outspoken approaches, Mayweather may have a point in treating the forthcoming fight as such.
Developments about the match-up have divulged that Conor McGregor will get $15 million. On the other hand, $100 million goes to the self-proclaimed Pretty Boy Floyd.
To sweeten the deal, UFC President Dana White is said to be throwing in $25 million each for the two sluggers. However, the fight executive still thinks that arranging the bout to become a reality will be difficult.
During his match-up against Filipino sensation Manny Pacquiao, Mayweather has been able to net a hundred million dollars. Meanwhile, Andre Berto, the undefeated boxer's last foe prior to retiring, has acquired $32 million.
With a license to box from California State already on hand since December last year, McGregor is dead-set on bringing on the fireworks inside the ring.
