No.. he did not. Floyd is playing McGregor like a piano. He gets his hopes up by teasing a fight that would change his life. And then just let it die off. This way mayweather stays relevant and mcgregor looks like a good who dropped his ice-cream
What's the point of fighting McGregor? I got it... Another easy cherrypick. Just stay retired you MF. Boxing is better off without you.
Highest reward, minimalistic risk. Was there any real doubt Floyd tried to make this fight? His confirmation was unnecessary.
Of course Floyd is trying to make it. He would earn probably as much for it as he did Pacquaio. Yet it would be the easiest boxing match of his life. McGregor has led in his hands but he's an MMA fighter. No mixed martial artist could box competetively with a world level boxer, nevermind one of the best defensive fighters of all time.
