After enjoying a well-deserved vacation at the end of the superfight with Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor reappeared this Friday (29), at an event organized so he could answer questions from fans in Glasgow, Scotland. Among several topics, the Irishman admitted that he is thinking about a rematch with the retired boxer, and thinks that the new fight is possible, since “Money” spends a lot of money and has problems with the North American tax authorities.

McGregor guaranteed that a new fight with Mayweather would have a different result, with his victory. In the superfight in August this year, the Irishman was knocked out in the tenth round by his rival.
“There are a lot of options at the moment. They are now fighting for an interim title. It could be this guy. We have the trilogy waiting with Nate diaz. Paulie Malinaggi could fight MMA. Or it could bring Floyd back. Even in boxing or even in MMA, as he said he would do (…) He has a habit of spending a lot and is in trouble with the IRS (North American tax authorities), I know I could beat him”, complained Conor.
In addition to commenting on the duel with Mayweather, McGregor admitted that a fight with Georges St Pierre it's possible. He declared that the superfight would be just about the money, but said that GSP should lose to Bisping – the two will face each other in the main fight of UFC 217, on November 4th.
“It would be another money fight, a “money fight”, even though he has been retired for some time. But I think Bisping is going to kick St. Pierre's ass. In my opinion, it is a mistake for GSP to have returned to the top weight right away after so long away,” he declared.
