Conan also brought up boxer Floyd Mayweather, who boxes in the same weight class that McGregor fights.

"Who wouldn't want to dance around the ring for $180 million? But I certainly know he wouldn't want to step into my world. But I would certainly box him if the opportunity arose. There are many forms of fighting that can beat him, and if we were to get it on, I would dismantle him also," McGregor said.
