The Superfight Nobody and Everybody Wants

The rumors about a McGregor-Mayweather fight aren’t dying down anytime soon.

I have said before that I would pay to see Conor McGregor fight anyone. Throw the UFC roster at him and let’s see how it pans out. I think he’s that talented and that fun to watch. There’s almost no part of me that wants to see McGregor fight Floyd Mayweather.

It feels like there are a lot of hurdles for a McGregor-Mayweather superfight (that’s the last time I’m going to call it that, I promise). Dana White has laughed off the idea while McGregor and Mayweather continue to play that strange, flirty social media game where they make fun of each other passively aggressively. I’m sure the governing body of boxing and Las Vegas will also have something to say about it.

The reality is that it’s not that hard for this fight to become an actual thing. McGregor quits or retires from the UFC, signs the contract and away we go.
