I can't imagine any situation where Floyd Mayweather would agree to MMA rules. He is cocky, but he has to know he would not fare well in an MMA fight. What would he have to gain from this fight? He can make $30-$40 million to box some no-name guy that he can thrash. If he wants a big payday he can fight Pacquiao again, a guy he has a good chance at beating and could likely make another $200 million fighting.
Fight McGregor in an MMA fight would likely draw a lot of viewers and he could get paid, but he would likely also tarnish his record and lose.
Not to mention. Dana White has said that McGregor is under contract with the UFC. They likely aren't going to let him fight unless it benefits them. It would benefit them to have him fight Mayweather in an MMA fight. It would not benefit them to watch him get his ass handed to him in a boxing match.
