Mayweather vs McGregor 2: Floyd Mayweather bypassed Manny Pacquiao talks for a second fight with Conor McGregor.
That’s according to Mayweather’s number one news source.
Reports surfaced that the five-weight world champion is eyeing a second big-money clash with McGregor despite dominating the Irishman in 2017.
The pair engaged in an exhibition-style sanctioned boxing match five years ago. For the first three rounds, Mayweather hardly threw a punch.
McGregor, a double UFC champion in MMA, was like a fish out of water despite holding a background in the sport from his teenage years.
As soon as Mayweather upped his work, the Irishman was in trouble. Eventually, he put “The Notorious” out of his misery in the tenth round.
Mayweather vs McGregor 2 Now, despite no real clamor for another helping, Mayweather and McGregor are putting the feelers out there.
“Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor are currently in talks for a potential rematch. If it happens, expect Mayweather to pocket another nine-figure payday,” said Fighthype.com.
It’s highly likely that Mayweather is behind the post and gave it the green light. It’s no secret that this media outlet is his go-to when there’s news to break.
The release is certainly only to gauge exactly where the interest lies in the fight. It seems like another test to see if both can achieve another money grab.
Their first Pay Per View sold over four million. If they could get half that now, they would gross the highest PPV event since their initial battle. Nobody, barring Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. in their legends match-up, has come close to that since 2017.
However, it would also be a miracle as there is slim to no actual want for Mayweather vs McGregor 2.
