Det har pratats mycket om en eventuell MMA-debut för den obesegrade boxningsmästaren Floyd Mayweather och därmed en en ’returmatch’ mellan honom och Conor McGregor.
Den senaste veckan gick McGregor ut med ett meddelande där han inte är inställd på en ny match eftersom Mayweather ska få fortsätta vara pensionerad.
Mayweathers pappa Floyd Mayweather Sr. tror dock att en MMA-debut för sonen är fullt möjlig.
Det här berättade Mayweather Sr. via ’Mayweather Boxing Channel’:
The way I see it, I have to believe that this is where it’s going. The way it looks, I think so.
I don’t know what the legacy is because as of now, he has enough money and he’s got enough to live until his life runs out. I don’t even know how to say it because there ain’t no way to say it because everything is done right now. I wouldn’t [advise him to fight in MMA]. As his trainer, no, as his father, no. I want him to have all the money he’s got. The money he’s got, he’s got enough money – look here, it’s crazy money, man. He’s his own man though, that’s one thing about him.
Mayweather Sr. tror även att sonen till och med kan vinna flera matcher i den besläktade sporten MMA.
I’m gonna tell you the truth about it, I think he can win a few fights but I think it’s best to leave it alone. You can do your own thing but you’re in somebody else’s playground now and holes and stuff are in there. You just can’t do that. Don’t get me wrong, I believe he can beat some fighters like the same as he did with the other guy but it ain’t worth it. Anytime you’ve done what he’s done, there ain’t no other way he can go right now but backwards. That’s the only way he can go right now.
Mayweather och McGregor möttes i en boxningsmatch sommaren 2017,där McGregor förlorade via knockout i rond 10.
