It looks like the Champ Floyd Mayweather is ready to jump back in the ring for a 2020 comeback, as he names his price in fighting Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Going face-to-face with his former opponent McGregor, and UFC lightweight champion and rival Nurmagomedov, Mayweather has demanded $600 million, adding that the numbers have to make sense.
Mayweather explains, “Like we talked about on social media, there’s two names right now. We talked about the Conor McGregor fight, we talked about the Khabib fight. For myself, the number is $600M. If I’m going to go out there and risk it, it’d have to be worth it.” While speaking at an event at London’s York Hall.
The champ also shares how his earning has continuously skyrocketed on a fight-by-fight basis since taking charge of his own career. He says, “Last time we went from $250m to $300m and hopefully we can break that this year.”
Furthermore, he breaks down how the fight with McGregor, which he won by TKO in the 10th round, was branded as a “business move.”
He explains, “In the boxing world as of right now, it doesn’t make sense for me to fight any ordinary fighter. I’m a business man. The Conor McGregor fight made sense. If it makes money, it makes sense. I don’t fight fighters or compete against competitors that only have cities behind them. If I’m going to fight you, you have to have a whole country behind you. The first fight was entertaining. It’s an entertainment business.”
