According to Bleacher Report there's a real possibility this could happen. I don't think McGregor stands a chance in a boxing match, but I'd love to see it.
Would this be the biggest fight in boxing history?
This if Mayweather is going to break the record and go 50-0 I rather watch him do it against a guy like McGregor who will at least attack him for 12 rounds unlike some of the chumps I have heard being matched up against him.

What a clinic that would be by Mayweather. I understand why people dislike Floyd and that boxing has fallen off because it lacks top matches and its corruption. But I'd watch that just because of the lack of respect boxing gets from a skills standpoint vs. MMA over the past decade.
Again, the hate is warranted but 49-0 is exactly that. Undefeated. McGregor last 'boxed' as a teenager and he had two losses as a MMA fighter before the general public knew who he was. His hype is at ridiculous levels.
disagree. Mayweater is completely unaccustomed to dealing with leg strikes and takedown maneuvers.
Mayweather's greatest strength is his defensive ability such that even when in close, opponents can't land clean shots at all. But in MMA, that goes out the window because of all the grappling.
Paul that's true but I think as soon as Mc Gregor try's a leg

Strike he gets knocked out. Floyd would toy with him imho
I don't think Floyd would be able to toy with shit with a professional MMA fighter going at his lower body. Straight boxing he'd murder though.
This. The best boxer in the world against a UFC scrub in a MMA match is over in minutes because of lack of familiarity, skills, and training. The same is true of the best MMA fighter fighting a chump boxer. The real world results of guys trying this make it pretty obvious that years of training in a specific sport don't translate over to much use when the rules and sport are completely different.
i'd rather see either of the diaz bros against mayweather in a boxing match. much better boxers
I'm not certain he would last 12 rounds.

Floyd though getting a kick in the nuts
That was maybe the worst "boxing event" I have ever seen. Just terrible.
