The father of 40-year-old boxing legend Floyd Mayweather – Mayweather Snr has said that even he would knock out Conor McGregor if he was fighting him instead of his son.
Ireland’s Conor McGregor who will on Saturday make his professional boxing debut at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena against the undefeated Mayweather, has been seen as the underdog and Mayweather Snr has added his own spin to the fight noting that ‘I told him I would knock him out. I told him when my son has whipped your a***, I will do it next. ‘McConor’ should be glad he’s been out. If he’d been out of the ring for a week he’d be glad, but I am telling you, you are going to see (how one-sided it is). We are going to take him out to the body. That is what’s going to happen. I’m not going to call the round but all I am telling you is that McGregor is a dead man. All I would say is that he is a clown. And he is fighting a real fighter. But that’s why so many people want to see it: because it is a joke. That confidence McGregor’s got? It’s going nowhere.’
On whether Floyd will retire after the bout, Mayweather Snr said ‘(Floyd’s) a grown man. You don’t tell a grown man what to do (and whether he should retire after this fight). He’s my son so I can suggest it but he doesn’t have to do it. Overall, I don’t think he has to box no more because he has enough money to live the rest of his life the way he wants to live it.’
