This week, it was confirmed that Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor would have their highly anticipated boxing match<\/a> on August 26th at the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Immediately fighters, fans, and analysts began to give their predictions for the fight, with ESPN First Take host Max Kellerman boldly proclaiming that Conor McGregor<\/a> wouldn’t land a single punch on Floyd Mayweather. After praising McGregor for his ability to knock fighters out while moving backwards, Kellerman continued:<\/p>\n

\"Mayweather<\/p>\n

“I’m a big McGregor fan, and if he had been boxing this whole time maybe we’d be having a different story, but you ain’t gonna pick it up in 3 or 6 months, and hit Floyd [Mayweather]. Let me tell you what’s going to happen. Conor McGregor will not land a single punch against Floyd Mayweather. Not one punch.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That didn’t sit too well with former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub, who decided to offer Kellerman a bet on his bold claim:<\/p>\n

Let me tell you! I Guarantee Conor lands not only a punch but wins rounds. Matter of fact I would be willing to bet 100k on it. Would you @max_kellerman? #repost @espnfirsttake \u30fb\u30fb\u30fb "Not one punch." -Max<\/a><\/p>\n
