    Good point. I didn't think of that. I wonder if Oscar secured Vegas with a 3 week before/after shut out window like he did for the first fight?
    i've read that MSG is a big possibility, wonder if this fight can happen on NY

      If he did that he's almost guaranteed to get f#cked up like he's never been before...even if he were to somehow win the fight. MMA don't f#ck around & Floyd isn't likely to KO anyone in 15-25 minutes (took him 28mins to KO Conor in his own sport) with those ****** up hands.

      I don't think a 40 something Floyd with a billion or w/e in the bank is signing up for that sorta bs. I can see him being a social media troll like he's been many times before. And if he's legit into fighting I could see him do it, but not under standard MMA rules. Not a chance in the world or Floyd been watching Fight Club too much or something.
      What I'm saying for a UFC fighter to drain like Rousey or Conor and not have the juice for fight night can be a health hazard, possible cardiac arrest pushing the limits of a drain to strain the heart on fight night. Didn't Holm just circle the ring and strike against Rousey? It wasn't until Rousey was battered that Holm snuck in a roundhouse at the end. Even so, Rousey had the juice.

      I understand what you're saying, BJJ is no joke, but BJJ - real athletes - don't drain in competition using gis etc...

      Floyd owns the rules for an even playing field. I don't see Conor hitting 145.

        Who knows...

        Floyd is rich but he's not Bill Gates. $250m or whatever he could make would still be a significant % of Floyd's net worth..and that's assuming he has as much money as we think, which might not even be the case.

        All it takes is a few bad investments or tax issues and that money for fighting in a UFC fight would start to seem very appealing, if it's not already.

        It really depends how much he could realistically make i guess. A 9 figure payday is still a substantial amount of money to Floyd.

          the UFC is rampant with PEDS, every big star got caught or was protected... the regulation is grey of course.

          This is Conor pushing for 145... without the recovery juice up till fight time, I assure Conor will walk in the ring sick. This was Conor in 2015. Juicing is huge in the MMA world, especially Asia. Floyd Got nothing to worry about against Conor at 145...that's if Conor can even make that weight. We would see the skinniest Conor ever during camp. They have sacrifice muscle mass. Basically Conor would have to be 145, thinner and healthy looking than this below.

              There's a 0% chance Floyd fights McGregor in an MMA bout. Maybe 5% chance he has some weird boxing match in the octagon.

                Never happen. He can make almost as much money in a rematch with Pac or Mac. The man who never put himself at a disadvantage is not going to suddenly put himself at a disadvantage when (a) he is 40 years old and (b) has plenty of money.

Size is a much bigger factor in MMA than it is in boxing, that's why they almost kill themselves with cutting weight. Demetrius Johnson is P4P #1 MMA fighter and even he doesn't challenge McGregor. Floyd isn't much bigger than DM.
                  Floyd is a lot bigger than Demetrious Johnson. DJ is 5'3 125 pounds while FM is 5'8 and primarily fights at 147/154. Floyd is closer to Conor's size than he is to DJ's

                    Hell will freeze solid before Mayweather will fight Conor under UFC rules unless the fight is fixed and he knows it.
