As time goes, the physical condition of Mayweather is no longer on its same level. If McGregor land a solid punch on him, he might
endanger his life, though the chance of winning is still high for Mayweather.
But we never know when an accident will take place, and basing on that last statement where he doesn't want to fight a real fighter
it's more on the security side.
Just play for the money and take advantage of the fan base youtubers. It's still money that he can collect, so why not, right?
In my opinion, you greatly underestimate Mayweather, if the fight goes purely according to boxing rules, then McGregor has no chance of winning. Mike Tyson is 56 but the latest workout videos are terrifying if you think he'll fight you. Floyd is 45 years old, yes, he is 9 years older than McGregor, but McGregor was never even close to Floyd's level. I think he will easily win this fight (and if he wants to, he will knock out McGegor).
