As the months have passed, however, this strange but undeniably compelling spectacle has begun to look more and more likely, as various road blocks and red tape have been bushwhacked.

Forget about Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao’s 4.4 million pay-per-view buys because Oscar De La Hoya is claiming that the recently announced fight between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin is “the biggest fight ever”

Though it initially looked like a near impossibility, we’ve recently been given some real reason to believe that a boxing match between UFC lightweight champ Conor McGregor and undefeated great Floyd Mayweather could actually happen. One of the most compelling of these reasons has been UFC President Dana White’s interest in making the fight happen.

Nate Diaz has not fought since August of last year when he and Conor McGregor clashed in their thrilling rematch at UFC 202. Although it was a close fight after five rounds of war, McGregor walked out of the Octagon with a majority decision win. Diaz has been sitting on the sidelines since his two huge paydays with fighting McGregor and is simply waiting for another fight that will be worth it for him to step back into the Octagon. Diaz stated that he accepted a fight against Tony Ferguson on certain conditions but never ever heard back from the UFC following his counter in negotiation. With all the talk of the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor boxing match, perhaps the winner of that mega fight is the one Diaz is waiting to cash in on.

If Conor McGregor makes the transition into boxing for a battle with undefeated great Floyd Mayweather – and there’s plenty of reason to believe this will be the case – he will enter the fight as a massive underdog. He’s never competed as a professional boxer before, after all.

It surely seems like many people forgot that it was a few of Nate Diaz’s boxing combinations that ultimately led the way to Conor McGregor tapping out at UFC 196.

While talk of a potential Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather boxing superfight has the entire combat sports community talking, updates regarding the potential scrap have continued to pour out. As of late however, updates have become less and less frequent in regards to the potential scrap. With Conor McGregor’s newborn son’s due date is rapidly approaching, many fans are wondering what the UFC superstar’s next move will be. While all signs pointed to a McGregor-Mayweather showdown being made official, a new update from Showtime Sports executive Stephen Espinoza to discuss the bout, and why negotiations have hit a standstill.

UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor certainly possesses some of the best knockout power in the UFC. As Tristar gym head coach Firas Zahabi has explained it, McGregor has the ‘touch of death’ in his left hand. Meaning that if he touches you with his left hand, he will likely be able to put you to sleep. That power has been a major factor in predictions for a fight between McGregor and undefeated boxing icon Floyd Mayweather. While Mayweather of course is arguably the greatest boxer of all time, going undefeated throughout his entire career while displaying phenomenal defensive abilities, many believe McGregor’s power and size could present an interesting challenge for Mayweather.

There is no bigger story in combat sports today than that of a potential boxing mega fight between undefeated great Floyd Mayweather Jr. and UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor. Whether it’s a cause for cautious optimism that the fight will actually happen, a reason to believe it probably won’t, a combat sports personality offering their take on who will win, or a bit of trash talk between their two camps, this ongoing narrative generates dozens of new headlines every week.

UFC President Dana White said it himself, there is a ton of money to be made in the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor boxing match. Even with the UFC lightweight champion not having a single professional boxing fight to his name going up against arguably one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport, the masses will surely tune in, if the superfight takes place.

To say there is a little animosity between the camps of UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor and undefeated boxing great Floyd Mayweather would be an understatement.
