Holyfield flippantly offers to fight McGregor for $25 million

Conor McGregor's foray into boxing could be "The Real Deal."
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, former world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield cheekily offered to meet McGregor in the ring for the $25-million payday Dana White recently offered Floyd Mayweather. But judging by the post's caption, Holyfield's advanced age, and the size advantage he owns over the Irishman, it's safe to assume the boxer's quasi-callout was not meant to be taken seriously.
The 54-year-old Holyfield - now retired - hasn't graced the ring since May 2011, when he defeated Brian Nielsen by 10th-round TKO.
