‘Mayweather Stepping in the Cage?’: Fans Lose Their Cool as Floyd Demands ‘Real Fight’ With Conor McGregor After UFC President Shuts Down Boxing Match

Floyd Mayweather is gearing up to lock horns with Mikuru Asakura of Japan this weekend. Despite the high-profile return, the retired boxer’s recent remark on a rematch with the UFC Megastar Conor McGregor has become a storyline.

The rumors around their rematch have been floating for a few months for now but when TMZ sports tried to confirm it with Mayweather, they got an interesting reply. According to Mayweather, he wants a real fight with ‘The Notorious’ in 2023 but at the right price.

When this update became a buzz, McGregor took to social media and wrote, “#notInterested”. 

After retiring from sports, Mayweather came back in 2017 to fight the likes of the two-division UFC champion. Since McGregor was the biggest draw days, the fight turned out to be a mega event. It did great on pay-per-view and generated millions of dollars. As a result, both fighters took back a hefty payday.
