Triple H was interviewed by Sky Sports and “invited” Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor on Raw because “There is no bigger platform that they could have to show the world and tell the world, who they are, and why they are the man.”
It’s probably not going to happen, but I guess you can’t blame WWE for trying.
McGregor was also mentioned on Raw as part of the Enzo and Cass segment, with them mentioning this tweet that WWE had Enzo send out to try to get McGregor to “bite”:
.@TheNotoriousMMA , you talk s*** and Floyd is going to knock it out of you. And if he doesn’t, I will.

Here’s the full quote from Triple H:
“All sports is entertainment, news is entertainment today, it is just the way of the world,” said the man who is currently an executive vice president of WWE.
“Everything is entertainment, that is what people do with their time. This is no different.
“I think there is an interest level there. Can a world-class boxer, probably the best ever, can he stand in the ring with an MMA guy?
“And can that MMA guy bring his striking skills up to the level of somebody like Floyd Mayweather?”
“The one thing it will be, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is entertaining,” he added.
“One thing Floyd Mayweather is, he is entertaining. Conor McGregor is entertaining.
“You say it is sports entertainment and, if they want to really showcase what they can do, I would invite both guys to come to Monday Night Raw!
“There is no bigger platform that they could have to show the world and tell the world, who they are, and why they are the man.”
