Even more would love to see Mayweather defeated for the first time because he's easy to cast in the role of villain. The caveat is that Pete Rademacher was the Olympic gold medallist in boxing, whereas McGregor has no significant amateur boxing experience. Like Ali against Alzado, Mayweather has been retired for some time, giving hope to some McGregor backers. Mayweather, a Las Vegas resident, will make even more money, his largest or second-largest payday, for taking on a boxing novice. How will Mayweather fight?
