Conor McGregor's boxing coach reckons things will be different if the Dubliner gets another crack at Floyd Mayweather. The pair met in 2017 for their mega-fight in which McGregor was outclassed.

But coach Phil Sutcliffe believes McGregor would grab the win if the pair faced off again.

Sutcliffe was not part of the backroom team for McGregor's 2017 bout but has since been in camp for his fights against Donald Cerrone and Dustin Poirier.

Speaking to TalkSport about a rematch, Sutcliffe said: "I hope he boxes for me, I'll get another payday. I'd love for him to fight Mayweather again. He's a little bit older Mayweather and Conor's a little bit wiser," Sutcliffe said.

"On the stats from the first fight he hit Mayweather more than any other fighter in history.

"I watched the fight six or seven times... all you need is good balance, good footwork and good reading, but with Mayweather it's a different thing, you'd have to give him a little bit more pressure.

"And I know things but I'm not going to say them on here, but of course it would be different."

McGregor and Mayweather competed in the second biggest-grossing fight of all time with 4.3 million pay-per-view buys.

The bout is estimated to have grossed nearly $400m. The numbers trail only Mayweather's 2015 fight against Manny Pacquiao.
