MMA star Conor McGregor made his boxing debut against Floyd Mayweather back in 2017. Many expected him to box someone again due to how much money he made in the Floyd fight.
According to ESPN’s Steve Kim McGregor will most likely be in a boxing ring again in 2021
“You know, I’m gonna be bold. I say that it happens next year in 2021. I’ve actually been told that’s the plan.”
“Now, look, Manny has a way of changing his mind quite liberally, but there’s a reason why he signed with [Paradigm]. Look, the ‘M’ in Manny stands for ‘Mercenary.’ He wants to make the biggest score — he’s probably searching now for events that can bring him 9-figure paydays. What else is out there that is considered relatively safe, that could procure that type of payday. From a theoretical standpoint, it could be Conor McGregor.”
Manny and McGregor have been rumored to fight for some time now so it makes sense Manny would be his opponent. 2021 is a while away and a lot can happen between now and then so, for now, we just have to wait and see.
