Throughout the course of 2017, undefeated boxing icon Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor<\/a> have continued to be linked to a boxing superfight.<\/p>\n

The year started with Mayweather offering McGregor $15 million for a boxing superfight<\/a>, with UFC President Dana White then countering Mayweather’s offer with one of his own<\/a>. Mayweather of course laughed off the offer, reiterating that he wouldn’t fight for less than $100 million.<\/p>\n

\"Floyd<\/p>\n

While McGregor had remained rather quiet on the matter, he recently fired back while addressing media members at the Madison Square Garden<\/a>, stating:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m the boxing guy, watch me take over boxing. Trust me on that. No one in this boxing game knows what\u2019s coming, trust me on that, when I step in there I\u2019m going to shock the whole god damn world. Trust me on that! Look me in the eyes, 28 years of age, confident as a motherfucker. Long, range-y, dangerous with every hand, trust me I\u2019m going to stop Floyd. You\u2019re all going to eat your words. The whole world is going to eat their words. I\u2019m out of here\u2026I am boxing!\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, Mayweather’s teammate, UFC lightweight Kevin Lee, spoke in an interview with Helen Yee<\/a> to discuss the potential scrap, saying:<\/p>\n

\"Kevin<\/p>\n

“That fight with Floyd, it’s going to happen. Floyd’s management reached out to me a little while ago and asked me to be a part of the camp. So I’m excited to do that, I could use a couple bucks in my pocket, that’s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a win-win situation for him. If he loses \u2014 which he’s going to lose, he don’t stand a chance in the fight \u2014 he knows it going in he’s just there for the cash grab and then he’ll come back and fight (Nate) Diaz, or he’ll bump up and fight Tyron (Woodley), before he jumps down and messes with us real killers at 155. He ain\u2019t stupid.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
