Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather is claiming that he is still interested in a cross-promotional bout with UFC light heavyweight champion Conor McGregor.
In a recent interview with Showtime Boxing, Mayweather explained why he is still interested in the bout. First off, the fighter noted that there is no need to talk about money.
“We don’t really have to talk about that. We already know what my number is.”
While Mayweather is confident that the numbers will fall into place, he does think that McGregor needs to straighten a few things out.
“We have to get his thing in order with his team. Once Conor McGregor speaks with the UFC and his bosses, then we can make it happen. Because we already know that Floyd Mayweather is his own boss.”
Mayweather claims he wants this fight. He ended his point on the bout by saying,
“Let’s make the fight happen. Let’s give the fans what they want to see. There’s only one fight out there that is important, that is Mayweather and Conor McGregor.”
