Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather have beef after McGregor said he'd love to knock him out in 30 seconds, so pride is at stake here.
But this very much concludes the very short list of reasons this fight might happen.
Conor McGregor is quite literally not a boxer, in case you hadn't noticed. He is an MMA fighter, which is a fight sport, but is very different to boxing... in that it is a different sport.
This would be like Leicester City inviting the English rugby team to take them on in a football match at Wembley. That would probably be really quite sh*t, and the English rugby team would be rubbish.
McGregor would certainly put up a decent enough fight, he has the ability to box, he can throw a punch. But it's a different discipline.
Training time
The claim is that the fight is likely to happen this summer.
Given that McGregor is, as we've previously stated, literally not a professional boxer. He would have to train, he'd have to train damn hard. We're not talking about a standard fight here, we're talking about a fight with one of the greatest boxers of all time... one of the most tactically astute boxers of all time.
Now, we know Ricky Gervais trained for that charity boxing thing a few years back within a short period. But McGregor is no Ricky Gervais...
Contracts
Many people have pointed out that it's possible McGregor could have a contract clause with the UFC that would prevent him from just going to Las Vegas and fighting Floyd Mayweather.
Mayweather is retired
(Self-explanatory).
