In a recent interview with BoxingScene.com, legendary boxing coach Freddie Roach spoke on the possibility of training UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor for his rumored boxing bout with legend Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather.

According to Roach the Irishman’s camp inquired him about the possibility of training the 145-pound champ, and Roach was open to the idea.

“No [talk of Mayweather], just to train him,” Roach said. “They did ask me if I’ll train him. I said ‘sure, bring him down.’ I’d like to see [him], meet the guy and see what he has. He seems like a nice guy.”

Roach also was asked if he believed he could get McGregor ready for a boxing bout with ‘Money; however he claimed to not have enough tape on the Irishman’s boxing as of that moment.

“No, I don’t even know what level he’s at right now, I couldn’t say that without working with him. He seems like a good kickboxer. That’s all I’ve seen of him. But as a boxer, I’ve never seen him box.”

McGregor and Mayweather have recently been linked to rumors of a potential ‘MMA vs Boxing’ summer boxing showdown, that Mayweather himself has claimed responsibility for starting.

Mayweather (49-0, Boxing) was last seen in the ring putting the cherry on top of an undefeated professional boxing record, when he took home a unanimous decision victory over Andre Berto last September.

While rumors have fluctuated that the so called ‘retired’ boxing legend has one more fight left in him, it is looking more and more like a possibility that he will meet the UFC’s Irish star inside the boxing ring.

McGregor is currently embroiled in a beef with UFC executives over his removal from the UFC 200 blockbuster event set to go down in July, where he was set to rematch Nate Diaz after being handed his first UFC defeat from the Stockton native in early March.

While both men have teased the possibility of a colossal matchup between the two stars of their respective sports, nothing has been confirmed as of this writing.

Quote: Conor McGregor Has ‘Zero Percent Chance’ Against Floyd Mayweather Jr.

While there may or may not be much of a chance that the rumored Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. boxing match actually happens (depending on who you ask), that certainly doesn’t mean that those close to either side won’t hype up whom they think would win. With speculation running wild, Mayweather Jr.’s father Floyd

With speculation running wild, Mayweather Jr.’s father Floyd continued to discuss the potentially huge super fight in a recent interview on the Mayweather Boxing Channel.

Mayweather Sr. seems to insist that the bout could actually take place, and the magnitude of it would shock everyone if and when it did. Asked to compare it to Mayweather’s monstrous but ultimately lackluster super fight with Manny Pacquiao, and the boxig legend’s father said McGregor vs. Mayweather would be much bigger:

“I think it would be bigger than Pacman and Floyd. You just wait and see.”

If the incredibly speculative fight were to go down now that McGregor has been pulled from his main event rematch with Nat Diaz at UFC 200, Mayweather Sr. gave the Irishman absolutely no chance of even making it competitive with his undefeated son:

“Zero percent. I’m not going to say that it would be the quickest knockout of Floyd’s career. I’m not gonna say that. But it would be one of the most humiliating fights that anyone could see.”

A similar sentiment seems to be the general consensus of most, with the majority picking Mayweather Jr. in a boxing match and McGregor in a MMA fight, and both by a wide margin. That viewpoint apparently has Mayweather Sr. excited about the prospect of seeing his son potentially demolish McGregor in a boxing ring:

“Oh hell yes. It’s an easy test. You know what Floyd’s gonna do.”

Quite the confidence from Mayweather Jr.’s camp, and you certainly wouldn’t expect anything less. Watch the full interview with Mayweather Sr. right here:

Conor McGregor Leaks Poster For Floyd Mayweather Fight

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor has finally addressed the wild rumors of a potential matchup with boxing legend Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather. Rumors emerged this week that the UFC superstar could possibly step inside the boxing ring to challenge the recently retired Mayweather in a pivotal super fight. Mayweather’s father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., addressed these rumors

Mayweather’s father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., addressed these rumors first, stating that his son spoke of possibly coming out of retirement to face ‘some MMA fighter’. Mayweather Jr. himself confirmed these rumors as well, stating a bout with McGregor is ‘possible’.

UFC President Dana White, however, is not a fan of these recent rumblings. When asked about the rumors, White stated that they were “completely fiction, this is like bottom-feeder … stuff.”.

One man we had yet to hear from was Mayweather’s rumored opponent, UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor. Until now that is.

McGregor took to Twitter to add speculation to the rumors by posting the following:

While McGregor has not officially responded to these rumors, this picture can indicate ‘Notorious’ is aware of the rumors and will defiantly stir the pot if it means keeping his name in the headlines.

Mayweather (49-0, Boxing) is coming off of a unanimous decision win, in what was said to be his final bout inside the ring, to Andre Berto back in September.

McGregor (19-3, MMA) comes off a submission loss, his first under the UFC banner, to Stockton native Nate Diaz in early March.

While McGregor holds amateur experience from his youth in boxing, the Irishman certainly will be out of his element in a boxing match with a such a high-caliber defensive boxer as Mayweather.

No official confirmation has yet been made on the potential boxing bout.

Floyd Mayweather Sr. Drops Bombshell About Son’s Next Fight

The post Floyd Mayweather Sr. Drops Bombshell About Son’s Next Fight appeared first on LowKick MMA.

Conor McGregor is once again the subject of much debate in the mixed martial arts community, and most recently it’s been surrounding UFC 200. The second major milestone pay-per-view event for the promotion originally saw a feature rematch between McGregor and Nate Diaz as the main event, but a sequence of unexpected events put that dance to bed in a rather surprising turn of events. ‘The Notorious’ had refused to attend the first week of the media tour for UFC 200, and as a result UFC president Dana White would later confirm McGregor was no longer fighting on the July 9 card.

The news was met with varying reactions, with many predicting the whole saga was part of a media stunt by the promotion and Conor McGregor. As things transpired further, following a brief Twitter retirement by the Irish striker, it looked as though the 145-pound king really was embroiled in a legitimate beef with his employers. After a number of social media rants and appeals to be reinstated, backed up by a bogus announcement that the Diaz rematch was back on, many argued that ‘The Notorious’ has taken a little bit of a hit as far as his image is concerned.

Many times in the past McGregor had declared himself the face of the UFC, and perhaps the promotion didn’t like the direction they were heading with him. It sounds as though the final straw was McGregor hoping to re-dictate the terms of his recently signed contract, and the UFC was stuck between a rock and a hard place. They have this money making PPV selling machine, but suddenly he’d begun turning on his creators. A strange and somewhat unfortunate conundrum for sure.

The news of a reported fight between UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor and the modern boxing great Floyd Mayweather Jr. pretty much ruptured the internet yesterday (Friday May 6, 2016). And although highly debatable as per the sources of origin and lack of confirmation, there’s one interview that everyone has slept on. Floyd Mayweather senior, father of ‘Money’ Mayweather, was asked about his son’s next fight, and his response was truly shocking…
