The soap opera involving Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor continues to make waves in the world of fights. After Dana White revealed that made an offer of US$25 million for the UFC lightweight champion and “Money” to face each other under boxing rules, the former boxer stated that the only fight that would make him abandon his retirement would be against the Irishman.

“I'm a businessman. We can get crazy numbers. If Conor McGregor, (going back) makes sense to me. But if it's anything else, it doesn't make sense. Not for me”, declared Floyd, in an interview with the TV channel “Showtime” during a boxing match in Brooklyn, New York (USA), in which he acts as promoter.
