Mayweather fought UFC sensation, Conor McGregor, back in 2017. Lately, the latter has been inactive in the sport because of his leg injury from his last fight. But now he seems fit to return to fighting again, and there is a high probability that he will make a striking return by going up against ‘Money’.
As per TheSun, the American boxer has offered $157.9 million to ‘The Notorious One’ for a potential rematch. Their last fight earned both of them massive paychecks. It is speculated that this time it might be worth a staggering $1 billion. Interestingly, a source revealed, “Conor will only take the fight providing Floyd is willing to put his professional record on the line – so the fight will not be an exhibition, it will be an official fight.”
