Going the distance would be a ‘victory’ for McGregor: Floyd Mayweather

Floyd Mayweather says it will be a “victory” for Conor McGregor if their lucrative grudge match goes the distance in Las Vegas. Most boxing experts are predicting five-weight world champion Mayweather will coast to victory against UFC star McGregor, who is making his professional debut in the squared circle. Indeed, it would be viewed by many as a moral victory for the big-talking Irishman, the first man to hold belts in two weight divisions at the same time in UFC, if he can see the fight through to the end. And that is a view shared by Mayweather, who will take his career record to 50-0 with victory at the T-Mobile Arena on August 26. (Video: SNTV)
