UFC lightweight champion Conor “Notorious” McGregor has been spending some time away from the UFC in expectation of the birth of his child. In the meantime, the fighter has been trying to piece together a career high payday fight with boxing phenom Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Now, Floyd Mayweather Sr. has decided to chime in with his thoughts on the hype-inducing fight that pulled his son from retirement.
In an interview with Fight Hype, as transcribed by MMA Fighting, Mayweather Sr. said:
“He don’t want that fight. Floyd’s gonna turn him upside down. That be like you and Floyd in the ring! [Laughs]. He looks bad in the ring. That’s a done deal right there. They’ve already showed the best that he’s got.
“He ain’t nothing but talk! I told them people on the TV already, forget about Floyd. Let’s throw Floyd to the side. Here I am, I’m a 64-year-old man and I’ll beat your ass. I’ll beat the (expletive) out of McGregor! Anytime he wants it, let’s go.”
Mayweather Sr. finished his thoughts be mentioning the requirements for preparing yourself for a high level boxing event. “I’m telling you right now, he can do all the stuff he want to do but this guy don’t know nothing about how to get your body right and the amount of time and everything you’ve got to do, he don’t know nothing about that.”
