According to the North American website “TMZ”, Mayweather had made an offer of US$ 50 million (almost R$ 180 million, at the current price) to promote a fight against McGregor on December 31st, in a big fight that would mark his return to the ring in the city of Las Vegas (USA).

In recent days, McGregor has been showing signs that he is preparing to do a boxing fight, with images of his training in the noble art and special equipment for practicing the sport. Furthermore, the Irishman was seen in a meeting with President Dana White, from which he left very satisfied. Neither the Irishman nor even the Ultimate organization, which needs to give approval for him to do this super fight, have commented on the matter.
