Ko McGregor, e whakarite ana mo tana whakataetae taitara o te ao ki a Jose Aldo, toa toa UFC i te marama o Hurae, i kii ko Mayweather kaore i whai pukenga i roto i nga waahanga ke atu i te mekemeke. 'E kore ahau e titiro ki te tangata e tohunga ana i roto i te wāhi kotahi hei tohunga,' ka mea ia ki a Esquire. 'E titiro ana ahau ki a ia hei tauhou i roto i ētahi atu wāhi tekau. Mēnā ka taea e koe te mekemeke, he aha te mea ka tupu mēnā ka hopu au i ōu waewae? Ko Conor McGregor, e whakaahua ana i konei me tana moko hou, i kii ka taea e ia te patu i a Floyd Mayweather me te ngawari. 'Mēnā ka whakatū koe i a au ki te kanohi ki te kanohi ki a Floyd Mayweather - te tino pai o te mekemeke pauna-mo-pauna - mēnā ka whawhai ahau ki a Floyd, ka patua ia e ahau i roto i te iti iho i te toru tekau hēkona. He iti iho i te toru tekau hēkona te roa o taku noho ki a ia, me te mea he boa, a, ka whakaiti i a ia. Kua wikitoria a McGregor i ana whawhai e rima katoa i te UFC kia whiwhi ai ia ki a Aldo i te wa e whawhai ana a Mayweather ki te hoa whawhai a Manny Pacquiao i te MGM Grand i te Mei 2. Ko te kaiwhawhai rongonui rawa atu ki te neke ki nga toi whawhai whakauru ko te toa o mua o te ao a James Toney i whawhai ki a Randy Couture i te tau 2010. E toru meneti noa iho te roa o Toney i mua i tana hinganga i muri i tana eke ki te papa i nga hēkona tuatahi. Ko tētahi atu toa o mua, ko Roy Jones Jr., kua karanga ia mo te whawhai ki a Anderson Silva, e kiia ana ko ia te tohunga whawhai whakauru nui rawa atu o nga wa katoa. I tēnei wā kei te whakangungu a Mayweather mō tana whawhai nui $ 300 miriona ki a Manny Pacquiao hei te marama e whai ake nei. I hinga a James Toney i te rauna tuatahi i a ia e whawhai ana ki a Randy Couture i te UFC i te tau 2010.
E whakapono ana a Conor McGregor kaore he pukenga a Floyd Mayweather i tua atu i te mekemeke.

Kei te whakarite a Mayweather ki te whawhai ki a Manny Pacquiao i roto i te rua wiki.
