    Honestly man, have you been to Vegas for a Floyd fight? Because I have, 2x's and let me tell you, brothas pack in from all over the U.S. to see him fight. I guarantee Floyd would sell out in Asia, Central/South America, Europe, Africa, Australlia etc. I dont see Mcgregor selling out in Africa, Asia or South America unless matched very precisely with that nation. Floyd could fight Pedro the used machete seller in Guatemala and sell out or Umbuku the diamond collector from Africa in an exhibition and get ppv buys... The only people that like Mcgregor are the Irish and "people of fair complexion."

      Im waiting for a reporter to tell McGregor to STFU about a guy he will obviously never fight.
      But he is willing, and willing to do it in a boxing ring.

        He's just promoting his own fight. Rousey did it and McGregor does it. Ideally, more column inches = More PPV sold = More money in his pocket.

          Not sure about that one, Floyd made his base in Vegas so who really knows how he does outside of it. That arena is pretty small to it doesnt take much to fill it. Outside the US I doubt Floyd fills the seats. UFC travels, Floyd sits in Vegas so thats a tough one to really assume.

Not so sure Floyd would have an easy time, styles make fights and Connor brings a lot to the table, plus size and reach, great chin, and stance. Would be interesting.

            UFC won't put conor in a boxing ring and UFC couldn't afford to put in the octagon.

                    It's irrelevant. He wouldn't get in an MMA match for $200m. It's his nature.
