A fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. And Conor McGregor is looking more likely, after the former confirmed today that he will come out of retirement to fight the latter if the right deal can be struck.
MMA fighting released comments the boxing star made to FightHype about the situation:
“For Conor McGregor, I'm coming out of retirement, just to fight Conor McGregor:
I don't want to hear no more excuses about the money, about the UFC. Sign the paper with the UFC so you can fight me in June. Simple and plain. Let's fight in June. You're the B side, I'm the A side. We're not here to cry about money. I'm tired of all this crying about money and talking about you want to fight. You blowing smoke up everybody's ass. If you want to fight, sign the paperwork, let's do it.
Today, I'm officially out of retirement for Conor McGregor. We don't need to waste no time. We need to make this s--t happen quickly. Let's get it on in June.”
The financial terms have yet to be reached, however, according to Brian Campbell of ESPN, Mayweather wants to receive a guaranteed $100 million. Initially, UFC commissioner Dayna White offered each side $25 million.
Regardless of what the number is, buckle up because this will be one of the biggest fights in history if it comes to fruition.
