Although he has been inactive for the last few years, Conor McGregor still has one of the most memorable fighting resumes ever. From predicting his fight finishes to winning the featherweight title in 13 seconds, ‘The Notorious’ has done it all! However, one esteemed landmark that stands apart from the rest is his boxing debut against Floyd Mayweather.

In 2017, McGregor created history by facing Mayweather in the latter’s 50th professional boxing fight. Although the Irishman lost that bout, he still made more than $100 million of it. Even today, it is considered one of the most memorable events in the fighting world. However, McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh doesn’t keep this fight on the same pedestal!
