The boxing match between undefeated legend Floyd Mayweather and UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor<\/a> seems to be getting closer and closer to becoming a reality.<\/p>\n

On St. Patrick’s Day, “The Notorious” was in New York at Madison Square Garden as he walked out fellow Irishman Michael Conlan for his professional boxing debut. McGregor made a bit of time and spoke with the media<\/a>, including an exclusive with the Los Angeles Times<\/a> on the superfight between the two sport’s biggest stars.<\/p>\n

\"Conor<\/a><\/p>\n

McGregor was showered with cheers from fans as he made his way out with Conlan. This is something “The Notorious” is surely used to these days but this time it was at a boxing event.<\/p>\n

“It ain\u2019t the boxing crowd. It ain\u2019t the MMA crowd,” said McGregor. “It\u2019s the Irish fighting crowd and they \u2026 love this.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGregor said that he is more than ready to step into the boxing ring and people will be in for a shock when his fight finally takes place.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m ready to box,” McGregor said. “I\u2019ve been ready for a long time. The game\u2019s going to be in shock when I step in the ring. Trust me on that.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGregor was seen and heard shouting advice to Conlan during the bout, where he stopped Timothy Ibarra in the third round. McGregor’s knowledge purely in the sport of boxing was brought up.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re \u2026 right, I know what I was doing,\u201d he said. \u201cListen, man, I\u2019ve been doing this my whole life.\u201d<\/p>\n

With nothing officially announced yet for a fight between Mayweather and McGregor, it sounds like the fight may take place later this year as UFC President Dana White now seems to be on board<\/a> with the whole idea.<\/p>\n

\"dana<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201c[September] is what I\u2019m thinking. That\u2019s what the word is,” McGregor stated. “That\u2019s what we\u2019re close to doing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve tried to talk to Floyd. I flew to Las Vegas to have talks with Floyd and then he retired. He just doesn\u2019t want to see me. He\u2019s petrified. Wouldn\u2019t you be? No one knows what to expect with me, and they shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause I don\u2019t know what to expect either.\u201d<\/p>\n
