McGregor says he will destroy Mayweather’s legacy

By Daily Sports on July 15, 2017

Conor McGregor’s agenda is to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. and ruin his boxing legacy on August 26 in their fight on Showtime PPV from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Mayweather and McGregor met on Friday for their final stop in their 4-city International press tour at the SSE Wembley Arena in London, England.

Some boxing doubt that Mayweather will lose credibility if he gets knocked out by McGregor.

“I’m going to change the face of the game the same way I have for Mixed Martial Arts,” said McGregor to Sky Sports News HQ. “I’m going to change the way fighting is approached. I am boxing.”

 “I’ve got to be real, when his [Mayweather’s] legacy is destroyed in six weeks’ time, it will fall on you [Leonard Ellerbe] and Mayweather Sr’s shoulders,” said McGregor.

“He could’ve rode off into the sunset at 49-0. Instead, this is my first time in a boxing ring and in six weeks’ time… I run boxing. How did they let me ride in here? They got greedy, that’s what.”

Mayweather, 40, has already mentioned wanting to fight McGregor in the UFC under MMA in a rematch.
