Despite the continued flame fanning there is no fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor but if the fans want to play along, why not let them. After all, it went on with Manny Pacquiao for five years.
Despite the fact that McGregor has a license to box, it only extends to the state of California. Floyd Mayweather hasn’t boxed anywhere but Las Vegas since 2005. If McGregor announced the procurement of a license to fight in the state of Nevada, that would be interesting. But as of now, there’s no reason to keep whipping the dead horse. But in his defense, Mayweather did say McGregor was “smart” to keep using his name.
In an interview with Ben Thompson of FightHype.com the retired champion explained it this way.
“I’m [going to] tell you like this, he’s blowing smoke up everybody’s ass. He don’t really want to fight because I went to his boss,” Mayweather said. “He don’t really want to fight. He’s just doing that to keep his name alive, you know what I’m saying, to stay relevant. He don’t really want to fight. He’s doing that building his followers, but he’s smart.”
So once again, for the people in the back. There is no fight.
