That said he's drilled MMA for thousands of hours, all those talents don't directly translate and would take thousands more hours to tweak them for boxing. In a way his unorthodox style could be his greatest asset, as Floyd will have never have fought someone like him, but at the same time it's more likely to be his downfall.

Mayweather is just going to dance with him for 12 rounds and carry him in the fight to the end of the fight to give the crowd and fans a full fight to watch. It is NOT competitive, Mcgregor has absolutely no chance in hell of winning. It is just a money grab. People will just allow themselves to get carried away talking nonsense about what McGregor can do. McGregor can't do anything. If anyone knows anything about boxing punching in boxing is different from MMA, the stance and range and everything is different. It's like saying would Messi beat Ronnie O'Sullivan in a snooker match.

But how will his chin react to a clean flush shot from Floyd that connects to a wider area of the head with more overall impact? And, not all the time does it take a heavy punch to knock someone out. Those gloves may be heavier than MMA, but they are compact and damn well hurt when landed clean. They also allow for cleaner and flusher connections, as well as giving the hitter a little more confidence in committing. Again, this extrapolating from MMA results to what could happen in the ring is a bit off. Conor has 0 pedigree/stats in the ring at pro level. Also, it's very likely Mayweather KOs Conor from a well placed snappy body shot from either a straight jab through the middle (bit less likely due to Conor being a southpaw), or a right hand through the middle, or a hook....or accumulation body work. It's going to be deer in the headlights from start to finish for Conor.

He could easily stop him at any point by just popping him in the face constantly making his head snap back like it is on a spring and forcing the ref to stop it. But why do that when you can just dance and carry him for the 12 rounds, create as little damage as possible for both fighters, both walk away with millions of dollars without a scratch on either of them.

Floyd destroying McGregor is a real possibility, another highlight reel and then he can claim he whooped the UFC's best guy ect, its not really in his interests to let it go 12 rounds imo although I do see your point.

So a staged exhibition? Yes, I agree, it is a possibility.

Anyone being really confident/certain that this is all legit and above board where both me are free to try their best to win within the rules IMO are being a little naive. Not saying it won't turn out to be the case, just that the fact i's a novelty act should arouse suspicion.
