Floyd Mayweather to Conor McGregor: “Let’s Make the Fight Happen”

During a recent interview with Showtime Sports, undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. was asked about a potential fight with Conor McGregor. You can check out the video of the interview and some highlights below.

Mayweather asking for the fight: “I’m here to say today, 2-24 on my birthday, they keep throwing the Conor McGregor name out there. Conor McGregor, like I said before, I’m here let’s make it happen. Let’s make the fight happen. Let’s give the fans what they want to see. There’s only one fight out there that’s important and that’s Mayweather and Conor McGregor.”

Mayweather on why fans should believe the fight would be competitive: “I mean cause every time Conor McGregor goes out there and compete and win, he do it standing up. When Conor McGregor did lose, he lost on the ground. He didn’t lose standing up. So he’s a hell of a fighter and a very, very tough competitor and he has the will to win. The UFC gloves is no different from boxing gloves, they just a little bit smaller but if a guy got power, he got power and Conor McGregor got power.”
