More and more buzz has surfaced surrounding a possible boxing match between UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor and retired boxing legend Floyd Mayweather.
McGregor tossed more fuel on the fire Saturday with this tweet.
I run boxing.
— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) May 14, 2016
Mayweather isn’t shying away from hyping a possible fight either, telling Showtime on Friday, “Do I think the fight will happen? Absolutely.”
The strong words from both fighters leave fans worldwide hopeful that the bout will take place in the near future. NESN.com’s Rachel Holt breaks it all down in the video above.
