UFC president Dana White has come out to say that anything
is possible for Conor McGregor in
his Vegas fight against Floyd Mayweather.
He thinks the eagerly-awaited clash will be the biggest in the history of
fighting.
After months of speculation, it was announced on Wednesday
that unbeaten boxing legend Mayweather
will be coming out of retirement to fight UFC lightweight champion McGregor on
August 26.
The 40-year-old Mayweather will be looking to take his
record as a pro boxer to 50-0 against a man who will be making his boxing
debut. However, White says McGregor is capable of causing a sporting sensation.
He said “Conor
McGregor, I call him the unicorn, there has never been anybody like him in this
sport. The guy has done amazing things. A lot of people used to doubt him in
the beginning. He would pick rounds that he was going to finish guys who were
legends in the sport and world champions. He would go in and do exactly what he
said he was going to do. The kid has unbelievable charisma and is a great
fighter. He has become a huge star globally. We think it is going to be the
biggest fight ever done in the history of fighting. Not only will it break the
records here in the United States but we think it is going to break the records
globally. The fight is going to bring in a lot of money and Conor McGregor and
Floyd Mayweather are going to become two of the highest paid athletes ever.
Conor McGregor is the bigger, stronger
fighter. Floyd Mayweather is 40 years old and has not fought in over two years.
Conor McGregor is 28 years old, he is a southpaw - traditionally Floyd has
trouble with southpaws. And Conor McGregor has knock-out power in both hands.
Anything is possible. The question is, can Conor McGregor hit Floyd Mayweather
in a 12-round fight? I believe the answer is yes He will hit him and, every
time Conor McGregor touches people with his hands, they go to sleep. All these
questions are what makes this fight intriguing. If they agreed to fight and
just fight, Floyd Mayweather would not last 10 seconds with Conor McGregor. But
Conor McGregor is going to go into a boxing match and box Floyd Mayweather, so
that is why people love this kid. Can he go in there in a 12-round fight and
can he knock out Floyd Mayweather? That is what people want to know.”
