J'aime bien Khabib pour sa passion, à quel point il est dédié à son sport et à quel point il fait attention à montrer sa performance dans le ring et il ne parle trop pas, bien qu'un peu de show ne peut pas être inintelligible, mais on s'adhère en boxe avec Mayweather.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

This is probably "Khabib": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khabib_Nurmagomedov
Khabib does MMA. Mayweather is a boxer who fought the Irish (former?) MMA star Conor McGregor in a boxing match (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Mayweather_Jr._vs._Conor... which is maybe why there's talk of both MMA and boxing stars.

tends to favour
"en boxe, on s'adhère avec Mayweather"
And that it means "the boxing world tends to favour the Mayweather style", i.e. a showman boxer who talked the talk all the time, in contrast to Khabib who, according to this, doesn't talk much. But seeing as I'm not a boxing/MMA expert, I could be à côté de la plaque here!
Alternatively, "buys into"

Apparently Khabib Nurmagomedov turned down a $100,000,000 offer to fight Mayweather, because, he says he doesn't box for money but for glory. Maybe the speaker would have appreciated the excitement of the match and says that "in boxing, you/we stick together/support Mayweather", i.e. despite the fact that Khabib is an all-round good guy, he let people down and should have accepted the match.
Does the following sentence shed any more light?

Discussion
An alternative phrase would be "I would go/would have gone with Mayweather".
I'm pretty sure I'm right as I watch a fair bit of MMA (mixed martial arts) and although this is about a boxing match, some top MMA fighters fought Mayweather under boxing rules, including Conor McGregor
Khabib was the best grappler (wrestler) the MMA has ever seen but he could also stand up to strikers of the highest category and play their game (box with them before taking them down to give them a "ground and pound")
Khabib never lost a single fight in his professional career and retired with a 29-0 record (wins v defeats). This is just amazing in MMA
We also don't have the full context - this may have been said a long time ago, as they're both retired.
