Floyd Mayweather To Come Out of His Retirement for “Real Fight” Againt Conor McGregor or Manny Pacquiao

Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor share one of the most coveted rivalries in combat sports. While it has been over five years since the pair went back and forth inside the ring, fans still discuss the after-effects of the fight. Since then, fans have been looking forward to their rematch. In light of recent developments, Mayweather might settle down for a ‘real’ boxing rematch with the Irishman and, if possible, with Manny Pacquiao.

‘Money’ Mayweather has been active since his last professional boxing match in 2017. The legendary boxer has fought in exhibition matches that don’t adversely affect his body and also pay him handsome money. Mayweather will enter the ring on November 13 and exchange blows with the famous YouTuber Deji.

Further, ‘Pretty Boy’ will pocket between $25 million and $30 million for his November fight, which is scheduled at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai.

On being questioned whether Floyd Mayweather will opt to fight for his 51st professional record, Singh replied in affirmation. Further, he stated that they have explored the possibility of a “real fight” instead of an exhibition fight next year.

This comment signified the high probability of Mayweather earning more than his usual recent exhibition fights. Obviously, it also meant that his perfect record of 50-0 will be on the line.
