What’s more, he wants to use this win as a stepping stone to bigger real fights against Floyd Mayweather or Conor McGregor. Although he feels that ‘Money’ does not want to face him and is trying to duck the fight.
Conor McGregor should bring out his boxing gloves from the attic

A $250 million mega match has been in conversation for years. Regarding the match, ‘Pacman’ said, “That’s still possible. It depends on the negotiation, maybe after this exhibition match, but whether it’s a real fight or an exhibition fight, I’d look forward to it.“
So it’s all up to McGregor and how the negotiations go. Although the fight earlier broke down due to Mystic Mac’s recent results.
How will Conor fare up against an all time great?
‘The Notorious’ had a commercially successful fight against Floyd Mayweather. Although he didn’t win the match, he showed how good his striking skills are. He hung on for 10 rounds against arguably one of the best boxers of all time.

He will be more cautious regarding his punches and choose wisely when to shoot. Moreover, this will also improve his stamina significantly, which was a major drawback in his last boxing fight.
‘Pacman’ is a completely different fighter compared to Mayweather and one who will not shy away from being an aggressor. Whom have you got standing victorious in this exciting potential match-up?
