Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather are reportedly working on a rematch. This time around the fight would take place under mixed martial arts rules.
The rematch would also bank some serious cash. A mind blowing half a billion dollars.
Via talkSPORT:
According to boxing expert Gareth A Davies, talks are underway for a lucrative MMA bout which which could be worth up to half a billion dollars.
The pair met in a lucrative boxing match in August when UFC Lightweight Champion McGregor was stopped during the tenth round in a glitzy Las Vegas affair.
However, the mixed martial artist could get his chance to avenge the loss inside the octagon.
Speaking to Jim White on talkSPORT, Davies exclusively revealed: “My soundings are that there are a lot of talks going on in the background, there are a lot of talks around people with Mayweather.
“There are a lot of talks about him potentially having an MMA fight with Conor McGregor.
“Conor McGregor had no chance in a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather.
“People will tune in to see Mayweather get stopped by Conor McGregor and it won’t affect his boxing record.
“I think it’s going to happen and I think it will be a three, four, five hundred million dollar fight again.”
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. If this is being discussed then it’s probably going to go down. And if it goes down we’ll all watch, because we all love a good spectacle.
