Just when you thought the fight game coudln’t get any crazier there’s now a report that Floyd Mayweather is planning to come out of retirement to fight Conor McGregor for his record setting 50th fight.
The Sun was first to report the details behind the fight:
Both sides just have to agree on the purse and sign the paperwork — which sources say is imminent — and an announcement is likely to be made in the coming weeks.
A source told The Sun: “Floyd went mad after Conor said he would crush him and knock him out in 30 seconds, he’s obsessed with making Conor eat his words.
“Floyd is calling the shots. It’s strictly boxing and Conor will have to lose roughly 25lbs.
“It was agreed in principle on May 2, but Floyd wouldn’t reveal the identity of his opponent until last night when he told friends he’ll be fighting Conor.”
This would be an unprecedented move in the fight game. The biggest name in MMA vs the most skilled and talented boxer of this era.
