Speaking ES news, Mayweather claims he has a masterplan including dates, venue, and even different countries to make the fight happen this year.
And some of that masterplan includes paying veiled compliments to the UFC featherweight champion's speed in the octagon.
"If I do fight, it’s only against Conor McGregor … not against nobody else. "Because this matchup is so intriguing. You have a boxer against an MMA fighter — one of the best MMA fighters to ever … stand up and do it. He’s a strong fighter, and when I look at his fights, he’s a little faster than I thought he was."
The Dubliner's next UFC fight is likely to be closer to the end of 2016 with the winner of the UFC 200 clash between Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar facing McGregor to unify the featherweight belt again.
Mayweather admits that his schedule is free, and that he is willing to discuss a date for a possible fight, anytime, anywhere.
"I’m pretty sure we’re going to have a master plan to make that fight happen. "It hasn’t happened, yet, but we locked down some dates, me and my team, me and Al Haymon, me and Leonard Ellerbe. We locked down some dates, in different countries, in different cities in the United States.’Perhaps word has got back to McGregor, as it looks like he has ordered some special boxing boots from Reebok to help him work on his striking. https://twitter.com/TheNotoriousMMA/status/732430144657227777
