Max Kellerman: Conor McGregor Has “Precisely Zero Percent” Chance Against Floyd Mayweather

Boxing analyst Max Kellerman was unequivocal in his opinion of Conor McGregor’s odds in his fight with Floyd Mayweather: none. Kellerman was on late-night show Desus & Mero (per Bloody Elbow) and said that McGregor has no chance of beating the boxer.

When asked if he thought McGregor had a chance, Kellerman said, “Hell, no…No. It’s like, you know, if they were competing in the Octagon, Floyd would have no chance. They’re in a boxing ring. Conor has a zero percent chance. Precisely zero percent. They’re in a boxing ring. Conor McGregor, there’s no universe in which he can win.”

Elaborating further, Kellerman said, “I mean, even the thought of it – if Conor McGregor was like a decorated amateur and they built him up, you know? He had a four-round fight, a six-round fight, this…then after fifteen fights he was like 14-1, and then fought a contender – even if he lost to the contender, right? But at least he held his own over ten rounds, it usually takes about 5 or 6 years to build a guy like that out of the amateurs. Then he would have a chance to win a round against someone half as good as Floyd Mayweather. But you’re gonna turn pro after not being in a boxing ring competitively for how many years? And fight one of the best pure boxers of all time? It doesn’t matter that he’s (Floyd) 40 or whatever. If he was 60 it wouldn’t matter.”

McGregor and Mayweather will face off in a boxing match on August 26th in Las Vegas, Nevada.
