Conor McGregor sat on Conan O’Brien’s talk-show set two years ago and told the comedian he would “dismantle” Floyd Mayweather should he ever get the chance to oppose him in the boxing ring. On Wednesday, he doubled down on that claim.
On a conference call ahead of his fight with Floyd Mayweather, UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor said he feels “discarded” by the boxing world. McGregor says he plans to earn their respect come August 26 at the T-Mobile Arena.
The Nevada Athletic Commission granted the request of Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor to fight with 8-ounce gloves instead of 10-ounce ones when they meet Aug. 26 at T-Mobile Arena.
The Maloof brothers — Joe, Gavin and Phil — made what is believed to be the biggest bet on the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight thus far, Gavin Maloof confirmed to the Review-Journal on Sunday.
The bettor, who asked to remain anonymous, placed his bet at the South Point sports book at minus-550 and will win $160,000 if unbeaten boxing champ Floyd Mayweather (49-0) defeats UFC star Conor McGregor in their Aug. 26 boxing match at T-Mobile Arena.
