The news of UFC lightweight champion Conor “Notorious” McGregor taking on boxing phenom Floyd Mayweather Jr. has earned considerable excitement from fighters and fans. Now, it would appear that the WWE would like to capitalize on the highly anticipated match up.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor are set to face off inside a boxing ring on Aug. 26 inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Now WWE executive Paul Levesque, Triple H, has come forward with a proposal for the two fighters.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Paul Levesque stated “All sports is entertainment, news is entertainment today, it is just the way of the world. Everything is entertainment, that is what people do with their time.
“This is no different. I think there is an interest level there. Can a world-class boxer, probably the best ever, can he stand in the ring with an MMA guy? And can that MMA guy bring his striking skills up to the level of somebody like Floyd Mayweather?
“The one thing it will be, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is entertaining. One thing Floyd Mayweather is, he is entertaining. Conor McGregor is entertaining. You say it is sports entertainment and, if they want to really showcase what they can do, I would invite both guys to come to Monday Night Raw!
“There is no bigger platform that they could have to show the world and tell the world, who they are, and why they are the man.”
