Floyd Mayweather has the opportunity to hold a professional boxing record of 50-0 if he can get past UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor later this month.
Bob Arum is the head of Top Rank Promotions and he says that Mayweather doesn?t deserve the 50-0 mark if that fiftieth win comes over McGregor.
?No, he doesn?t deserve (the 50-0) record, because he?s not fighting a fighter,? Arum told TMZ Sports. ?He?s not fighting a real boxer. McGregor is a good MMA guy, but it?s a different sport.?
While a win for Mayweather would make him 50-0, a win for McGregor would make his pro boxing record a solid 1-0.
Arum would goes as far as to say that the McGregor vs. Mayweather fight isn?t even a real fight in the end.
?It?s not a fight, for Christ?s sake. And three weeks later, De La Hoya?s doing a hell of a fight, (Gennady) Golovkin and (Canelo) Alvarez. That?s a good fight,? says Arum.
Conor McGregor versus Floyd Mayweather takes place on Saturday, August 26 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event, with a post-show podcast to follow.
