If Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather Jr. ever do fight, it will be a blockbuster at the box office.
McGregor, fresh off becoming the first fighter to hold two UFC championships simultaneously, recently doubled down on his demand of $100 million to box Mayweather because the retired boxer is "too scared" of an MMA-style fight.

“Floyd’s not ready for this," McGregor told a crowd at an New York nightclub in a video obtained by TMZ. “Much respect to Floyd. He’s a solid businessman on what he’s been able to do. He’s a (expletive) animal at what he’s been able to do. But as far as real fighting — as far as true, pure, unarmed combat — Floyd don’t want none of this."

McGregor's comments come on the heels of Mayweather telling a photographer that comparing the two men is "disrespectful."
"He wants it under boxing rules. He wants a boxing match. He doesn’t want a fight," McGregor said. "I want $100 million cash to fight him under boxing rules because he’s afraid of a real fight.”
