As great as he is, Floyd Mayweather hasn't knocked anyone out since 2011.
But those who believe Money will end the night quickly when he fights Conor McGregor on August 26th got a boost to their argument from boxer Jessie Vargas, who claims Conor was knocked out in sparring.
"He got knocked out in sparring already, man!" “The boxing world is small; it's a small circle.” “Conor’s gonna get knocked out,” Vargas told Villanfy Media. “Mayweather always lives up to the hype. I have no doubt. I actually want to put down money on it, the odds aren’t that bad. [McGregor] got knocked out in sparring already, man."Mayweather was asked about Vargas's allegations in an interview last night with Fight Hype.
"My thing basically is like this: If I ain’t seen no footage, I don’t believe it," Mayweather said. "Me and Jessie Vargas are in communication. We’re talking about working together with Mayweather Promotions. I would love to work with Jessie Vargas. We’ve been communicating. But I can’t—everything is rumors until I see it. I’m the type of person, I have to visually see it with my own eyes."Check both Mayweather and Vargas's interviews below.
