Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather Will Happen According To Colin Cowherd

May 24, 2016

Colin Cowherd announced on his Monday show that his sources have confirmed that a Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather fight is going to happen.

Of course Mayweather would take on the fight. He’s looking for a big yet beatable name for his 50th career win. Of course McGregor would do it. He just got kicked out of a UFC fight for not doing press. It would be a huge money grab, but we all know a $100 million + pay day means any fighter would jump at the opportunity.

Cowherd says news changed late last week after getting a call from a key source and says he’s already booked his Vegas hotel room for the weekend of September 17.

“My intel is that Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather is going to happen.”
