It's beginning to look like a fight between living boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. and UFC Featherweight champion Conor McGregor is actually going to happen.It seemed improbable when rumors of the potential bout began to surface recently, but now that Floyd is speaking openly about it and wants to make it happen the only obstacles standing in the way are Mystic Mac's UFC contract, what network will broadcast it, where it will be held and the financial details.


A cross promotion between the UFC, Mayweather Promotions and either Showtime or HBO would be the most likely scenario. The fight would generate hundreds of millions of dollars and huge pay-per-view numbers.

In a new interview with Showtime's Steve Farhood, Money May, all but guaranteed the fight will happen under boxing rules."Do I think the fight will happen? Absolutely," Floyd said. "It has to be a boxing match because most fights that Conor McGregor won inside the octagon, he was a stand-up guy. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a tough fight for me. We don't really know as of right now, but there's been a lot of talking and hopefully we can make the fight happen. He's no pushover"

Mayweather has a 49-0 boxing record. The Notorious is 19-3 in mixed martial arts.
