Reports are swirling that Undefeated Floyd Mayweather is considering a toe-to-toe match-up with Conor McGregor this summer in Las Vegas. Reports are going around that Mayweather will earn $144 Million USD in the boxing match and while McGregor will take home a cool $10 million USD if the match comes to fruition.
If both parties agree to the term, its just a matter of signing the paperwork according to TheSun, which is very close to happening. Many parties are saying that UFC wont allow this match to happen, but others have specualted that Dana White will get a fairly large piece of the Pie to make it happen. We’ll see either way, we’d love to see the match-up to squash any beef the two may have with each other, espeically after McGregors massive rant on Instagram a while back, where he went onto saying this:
4. Floyd Mayweather, don’t ever bring race into my success again. I am an Irishman. My people have been oppressed our entire existence. And still very much are. I understand the feeling of prejudice. It is a feeling that is deep in my blood.
In my family’s long history of warfare there was a time where just having the name ‘McGregor’ was punishable by death.
Do not ever put me in a bracket like this again.
If you want we can organise a fight no problem.
I will give you a fair 80/20 split purse in my favour seen as your last fight bombed at every area of revenue.
At 27 years of age I now hold the key to this game.
The game answers to me now.

An inside “source” told The Sun magazine that “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.”
Rumors have been speculating that Mayweather would be fighting again due to a Trademark claim they made in the last couple weeks on “TBE 50” and “TMT 50”, which has people thinking he would come back for 1 last match-up. This would undoubtedly be a huge pay-off for both parties if the fight would happen, but we’re not holding our breathe for anything until the contract is signed.
