UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor’s manager says a potential boxing match with Floyd “Money” Mayweather feels more real now than ever before.
McGregor’s manager, Audie Attar, talked to FightHub about the potential McGregor vs. Mayweather matchup.
“It started with Floyd talking, right? And now it’s evolved to the UFC making offers. So it feels more real now than it ever has. That then makes it a very, very intriguing and interesting business opportunity and athletic opportunity for Conor. So we’re excited. Hopefully, it comes to fruition.
Attar went on to say he believes McGregor has a chance of defeating the undefeated boxer.
“I think people are sleeping on Conor’s power. Again, Floyd is super experienced, you’re going into his domain. But Conor’s counter-striking, his timing, and his power. Floyd’s never faced anyone with his reach. So as a fan, I’m excited to see that. With the bigger gloves, I don’t think Conor is going to get knocked out. But I do believe he has a chance of knocking Floyd out.”
