While both the camps are trying to strike the right deal, the internet has been filled with a constant barrage of news, gossip and memes revolving around the topic.

Heart of the matter:

Conor has been training with John Kavanagh since 2008, which is almost from the beginning of his professional career. Although it’s still a long way to go for the fight to happen, it is certain that Conor would need a new coach for him to step up against Floyd Mayweather in a boxing ring.

Regardless, Conor’s coach has tremendous belief in his student’s abilities to box with the undefeated Floyd Mayweather. Coach Kavanagh recently posted a photoshopped picture of Conor Knocking out Mayweather in a boxing ring.

Just recently, Conor himself posted another picture of him standing tall over Mayweather which sent the internet into a frenzy.
