Lampley: Mayweather 'obviously' threw rounds to set up McGregor rematch

Hall of Fame boxing commentator Jim Lampley believes a rematch between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor is likely.

In an interview with TMZ Sports, Lampley said Mayweather "obviously" let McGregor win some of the early rounds of their Aug. 26 fight in order to secure a rematch.

"Why should he retire? He created a marvelous scam with this whole thing," Lampley said of Mayweather. "He allowed Conor to quote 'win' three rounds so that the whole global MMA wish community could have something to latch on to.

"I think there's a decent chance there are enough suckers out there, Floyd could maybe make another $150 million, why not?"

Mayweather stated multiple times that the McGregor bout would be his last, but recently posted videos of himself back in the gym training, leading some to wonder if he could be considering another comeback.
