Is McGregor interested for the rematch?
McGregor has always made his intentions clear that he wanted to return again to the ring having claimed that it was his first love in Combat Sports. “Boxing is my first love in combat sports. I had such a great time the last time I was out there,” he told Sky Sports in an interview back in May at the Monaco Grand Prix. “Obviously, my return will be in the Octagon for UFC that story is far from over. In fact it’s just being written; it is just the beginning. But, boxing, for sure I will grace the squared circle again in the future.”
Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor: Las Vegas, 2017
This tremendous duo made history with their Super Welterweight Boxing match at T-mobile Arena in Las Vegas, USA as Mayweather won their first bout with 10th round TKO over the mixed martial artist. The historic fight generated a whopping 4.3 million buys where Mayweather earned over $275 million and the UFC Star pocketed nearly $100 million. According to those kind of numbers, it clearly shows Mayweather’s interest in the rematch.
Rematch going to happen or NOT!
Prior reports had Mayweather Promotions offering McGregor a $150 million flat fee for a second match, but it is also important to know that McGregor is under contract with the UFC and can’t accept any fight without their permission.
Rumours say Mayweather is looking to hold the fight in March, 2023 and Prior reports had Mayweather Promotions offering McGregor a $150 million flat fee for a second match.
However, Conor McGregor had made a statement through an Instagram post in July this year by captioning that he accepted the rematch with a picture from their first fight and deleted that afterwards. Writing the opposite by showing no interest at the same platform really casts shadows on the upcoming rematch.
Since the 2017 fight, which pushed Mayweather’s professional record to a perfect 50–0, he has taken part in three exhibition fights between ’18 and ’22, with a fourth coming up on Sunday against Japanese MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura.
