Bookie expects Mayweather to dust McGregor in boxing match

A mega fight between Conor McGregor and retired pound-for-pound boxing champion Floyd Mayweather appears to be on the horizon, especially now that the UFC superstar has received a boxing license to compete in the state of California.

In an interview with UK’s The Sun, McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh said there is a “strong chance” that the superfight between the two will happen “next year.”

“Is it getting any close? I don’t know, but it certainly wouldn’t surprise me that it’s going to happen,” Kavanagh was quoted saying.

The current UFC lightweight champion has repeatedly offered to fight Mayweather in a boxing ring—only if there’s at least a $100 million payout, according to Fox Sports. Mayweather, on the other hand, insists that the offers were McGregor’s attempt to get some free publicity.
