Oscar De La Hoya has branded Floyd Mayweather's mooted showdown with Conor McGregor a "farce" that could irreparably stain boxing.

Mayweather last weekend revealed he is "90 per cent" likely to come out of retirement to face UFC lightweight champion McGregor, who has a license to box in California and claimed he has already signed his contract to take on the American.
