Episode 864: Why Mayweather Would Destroy McGregor, Jose’s Tricky Europa Speech, Grunge Poll Controversy
Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor both adore money, and both of them are very good at making it. As a result, the proposed boxing match between the two men now looks increasingly likely, something Eoin McDevitt is slowly, grudgingly, beginning to accept.

The recently retired two time boxing world champ Paulie Malignaggi has declared he would “knock the beard off” McGregor if he were to face him in the ring. Malignaggi is now the best boxing pundit in America, so we ask him why exactly he thinks Conor would be so thoroughly outmatched. Has McGregor a puncher’s chance? Could he improve drastically before the fight? And given the mismatch, is his health in danger?
