The sports star believes that as these two men are at the top of the game, and that people would be willing to travel far and wide to see a fight like this.
Speaking at the British Association of MMA stand at the BodyPower Expo, David said, “One thing you can guarantee with McGregor is that he will bring his big fan base and people will want to see it.
“These are two of the biggest names in world sport, let alone boxing and MMA.
“Mayweather is the biggest sports grossing name ever and if you chuck that in with one of the biggest personalities in combat sport, Conor McGregor, you are going got get yourself a mega fight.
“No matter the rules, I think that fight could gross half a billion.
